you mean split screen? Is there a real market for that? I just have a computer in every room so I have no need for it myself. I am wondering since from time to time I hear this request. I do not know how many people are into that. Maybe if enough people ask for it they could add it to the console release. The numbers would have to be high enough to make it worth their time tho.

Having said that, using third-party programs like Nucleus Co-op[hub.splitscreen.me] demonstrates that even games like Elden Ring can be played in effective split screen (two instances of the same game on the same PC). WWZ runs fine, and that has hundreds of zed running amok. So, I think split-screen would be doable IF they prioritised it... which that evidently never have, and likely never will. If it were forthcoming, it would have be a demand from the console community, as PC is often neglected in terms of s/s functionality.

Wow, haven't thought that would be a thing as third party software, but i generally very much enjoyed playing splitscreen back in the days as a great way to play in a relationship, with close friends or children.
Greate to see it's still a thing in general(doesn't matter that much to me if it's first or third party), outside of a few game titles that use it these days as main selling point since their target audience are couples.

Besides that World War Z is a bit of an unfair example when it comes to how much ai can be handled, since it uses a very unique solution to handle said ai, that's only used in their other game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 as well and that's it.
So any other game that isn't from saber interactive would struggle way more if it had that much ai active at once with detailed designs.
Eldenring on the other hand even tho it has way less ai active at once sounds way more interesting, since that game struggled to run properly (without crashing at least once every hour of playtime) even on my gtx1070 with i7-6700k, so seeing it being able to be played in splitscreen on current hardware sounds more like a challange.
So i will give that a try and see how well it runs like that once i have someone near me that is willing to play it with me like that.
The same goes for other games that are more hardware heavy, but that as well means those games would be able to be played online like that as well if i combine nucleus co-op with a program like parsec.

Je regrette un mode local à la old scool. Pouvoir jouer ensemble à la façons des années 90 / 2000 comme la Nintendo 64 ou la première xbox. Je me revois avec mes amis équipé de nourritures et boissons à passer des journées lan. Même en version pc, un cable HDMI et plus de problèmes!
