Multiplayer Gaming PC?

[Keen_Interest]

Hey guys, is it possible to build a gaming PC, and have it in your living room, so that you can play local multi-player, like you would with a console, only with PC level graphics? 

 

As always, thanks for your help.

maybe not in wired keyboards (i don't know this) and not on wired mouse.

 

i maybe wrong though! i'm sure that i'm wrong!

Depends on the game but sure.

Generally you can have 1x keyboard+ mouse and then a controller (ps3 or xbone or ps2) for the other player in a lot of games such as borderlands 2 (up to 4 players) and left 4 dead 2 and a lot of others; check out co-optimus for more details on splitscreen PC games.

Left for dead? This is why Halo should be on PC... I suppose for stuff like that I could run an emulator?

Do you mean multiple controllers hooked up to the PC?

 

As for Halo, it's on the PC: http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Combat-Evolved-Pc/dp/B00009TW6R

For simplicity just get a console. I know that's not what your looking for but next gen graphics will be better and equal to a cheap pc's.

I meant all the Halos really, sorry. Unless they all are and I'm living in a hole? That would make me happy. And yeah, two or more controllers.

Thanks!

there's also the ability to have an unlimited amount of controllers you can play some of those old classic PS2 games with better textures, anti-aliasing and other things they look pretty damn good with them to be honest e.g.

You can play old driving games with support for up to 8 players and they look nice well nicer much much nicer at the higher resolution and all the filters and stuff

Most pc games don't have local multiplayer
