The textures on objects you can interact with remain good enough to make out. The textures for things like letters where there's fine typed text or handwriting are as sharp as they are at higher settings which is important to the core of the gameplay. I didn't post any screenshots of those though as some people are very spoiler sensitive about that in this game.

I am in goddamn tears right now.

still the best thing in this thread

 

[RoboPlato]

Low

Ultra

These are amazing.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Omg I never could picture HL2 looking like that. I guess I had a decent PC back in the day when I played it. Haven't had a gaming PC since

Edit: It would be cool to have pics of the highest setting too for comparison

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

This thread makes me confident that my goal of building a powerful PC that outputs most next gen games at 60FPS is not as crazy as it sounds.

Apart from the battlefield and Serious sam pics, nothing in this thread looks so bad that I couldn't play.

framerate >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>graphics every damn time.

Not to mention the differences between "Extreme" and "Very High" or w/e are often negligible.

I want to see what some modern games look like at super low res. like this:

 

[Sinfamy]

I wonder if there anybody else other than myself who literally feels sick when playing games on low.
I get slightly dizzy and my eyes start to hurt a lot. I tried playing FF7 on the PS2, god my eyes were tearing, I couldn't take it.

 

[Wanny]

Low

Ultra

Please it's not Xbox One screenshot thread.

What is this game? It isn't Shadow Complex... but looks similar

Never heard of that before, but hey, maybe you can convince your health care provider to pay for your new pc

 

[Sectus]

Not really low settings as the game has no graphics settings besides resolution, but I think the unpatched version of Resident Evil 4 on PC counts for this.

 

[Jedi2016]

Why, hello, 1996! So good to see you again.

 

[Noobcraft]

PC gamer did bf4 at lowest settings...

[Unai]

edit: I meant 3840x2160, not 3860x2160

 

[UnrealEck]

 

[Storm360]

Has a in-game scaling option.

I like how the wing mirror reflection is better looking than the rest of the game

 

[gibbsy24]

GSC 2013 - This game doesn't look great maxed out either, still fun to drive though.

 

[Slambot6]

Subbed. I love the low spectrums of PC gaming.

 

[WillyFive]

Reminds me of my childhood PC gaming, always like this.

 

[Stimpack]

*edit*

Actually, I'm going to delete this and fix things up a bit in settings. It appears on low settings that the FOV was just changed drastically.

 

[Deadbeat]

Bump because the future has arrived.

okay I got a question. Is the art style the same or did Ubisoft just take some of the models from Dark Messiah and use them in this game?

 

[Yusaku]

It might be a good idea to make it a rule to not do under sampling for games that support it (like bf4). If you set that to it's lowest setting it looks like it's running on a NES.

 

[Mona]

im not sure Crytek understands what low settings is supposed to mean heh.

although the first Crysis looks unbelievably puke on lowest settings

haha, when I saw this thread on the front page I thought to myself, I should post those RE4 screens in here

so bad

 

[Makoto Yuki]

The sad part is, these still look better than anything that can run on my PC

 

[KKRT00]

Their low settings run on all new integrated GPUs, so i think they made a good design decision.

 

[Paganmoon]

This thread has shown me (again) that Mass Effect 3 looks the same on low and high settings... Couldn't even add Film-grain to make it look less plastic

 

[Roshin]

Rogue Trooper.
One of my favorite games (and comics) ever. Oh Rogue, what have I done to you... These shots are from a scripted scene, but it still uses the in-game graphics.

Gunnar brutally gunned down from behind!

Link to image at high settings.

Gunnar in tragic death scene!

Link to image at high settings.

 

[Roshin]

Gunnar's bio-chip extracted! Good luck guessing what it is, if you're not familiar with the setting and the story. Also, dat hand.

Link to image at high settings.

Rogue swears revenge!

[rudieboy77]

One of all time favorites Vice City, check out the store fronts on pic 2, lol.

 

[KOCMOHABT]

I want to see what some modern games look like at super low res. like this:

I give you Crysis 2 in 320*200 (scaled up 2x afterwards)

After this I set out to make "play like it's 99" mode.
So this is not actually low, but the textures are at 1/16 (!) resolution (of default at low). Also anisotropy, who needs it. Same goes with AA. Not hardcore enough. Shadow jittering lol. nope.

Actually Crysis 2 is the most impressive game at low. Incredibly smooth framerate on old hardware, while retaining stuff like dynamic lighting (obviously), SSAO, per-object-motionblur (!), DOF, postprocessing AA, Anisotropic 8x, dynamic sun shafts

but anyway. 1999. here it is. Note how the street texture in the first picture would still be acceptable for most current productions (with filtering of course), while being at 1/16th resolution.

EDIT: forgot that only 2 screens allowed, deleted some of these.

 

[puffyshirt]

Just came into this thread, it's fascinating. Some of these games (shoutout to the CoD devs) still look really good at lowest settings, still better than PS3/360. But some of them, man oh man, just awful.

 

[GavinUK86]

edit: I meant 3840x2160, not 3860x2160

I think you're missing the point of the thread by downsampling and using AA.

It looks kinda surrealistic. That picture in the last screen almost looks like hand-made pixel art.

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

I think the opposite. Highlights how IQ and framerate goes above all.

 

[KojiKnight]

It does slightly defeat the point, me thinks, for the people using old games on low settings.

I do think a lot of modern games on "low" still look really good and playable... just glad my rigs are good enough I don't have to worry about them

 

[GavinUK86]

For comparison's sake, here is the game at it's Lowest & Highest, respectively.

 

[Caffeine]

Low

Ultra

the ultra setting is how i see the world with out my glasses on lol.

this is a great thread most of these games posted here dont even look that bad on low.

 

[Crisium]

Yeah, I do like some of the low settings, but SSAA High Resolution pics. Notice how they still look pretty decent? This is why many of us say resolution trumps all - and we are very disappointment to hear a console game is running in 1600x900 or, god-forbid, 1280x720 in 2013-2014. Even the Xbone can run BF4 at 1920x1080, I just wish DICE/EA valued resolution over some of the other settings...

 

[JBourne]

I think I like the 2D portraits more than the 3D ones, honestly.

 

[Falk]

Low

Ultra

Am I terminal if I found flipped foliage density setting the most amusing part of this?

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[hodgy100]

Not that different to be honest:

 

[Cannon Goose]

dat grass

 

[DarkLiberator]

Highest settings: http://abload.de/img/1high6orvz.jpg

I had to play with lowest settings on a laptop with a intel graphics media accelerator a few years back. Man, was so happy when I built myself a computer.
