>>338436960
I think it looks better on low, actually. I can actually fucking see.
>>338433473
It still looks absolutely stunning, just like I remember it being the first time I played it. Truly a masterpiece.
>>338436638
It looks like Jedi Knight without an accelerator.

OK.
>>338438336
Shit, the bottom one is unsettling.
whats weird is that having played these old games when I was a kid, when I look at them its hard to identify what's 'missing'
they look fine even with their visible pixels and no lighting
my brain was programmed into accepting them as they are, I wonder what else I'm brainwashed into accepting
>>338438567
It's only a matter of time before the market is flooded with a glut of sub-par indie poly-shit.
>>338438913
It's happening. No man's sky is an example.
>>338438736
It does look good in motion. I didn't bother to record, unfortunately, but I'm sure I have the dsfix.ini around somewhere with the modified resolution
>>338438852
Nah, the internal resolution is PS1 level. I'm playing on a 4k monitor, so it's expanded to 4k for display purposes, and therefore my screenshot is such.
>>338438860
it looks like an ~~artistic~~ ~~ stylized~~ indie game.
>>338438852
Oh, and the internal resolution is 320x240, in case you were wondering
>>338438913
where have you been?
all the kids who grew up with it are now adults creating it
>>338438913
>>338439008
I actually liked polygon graphics before hig res 3d accelerators. It looked way better than massive, warping, blocky pixels smeared over everything.
>>338436638
I would buy the shit out of Half Life DS.
>>338439310
DS games actually had fairly good models and textures
They just happen to be impossible to see without emulation
I wish I had a picture, but my buddy had trouble running the new Mad Max game, so we set it to the lowest possible resolution in order to get it to work. The text in game was so unreadable that it looked like that text that goes across scouters in Dragon Ball Z. Completely alien.
>>338439509
That's actually really surprising, never expected that there was so much detail hidden behind the lego resolution.
>>338439509
DS and 3DS suffer from the same problem: low resolution
>>338439280
I love graphics like this because everything is so easily visible. Your imagination just fills in the gaps.
>>338437696
can you make any game look like that?
>>338439778
Only if the game supports changing back to Directx 8 i guess
>>338439718

>>338439632

Only stuff like Bravely default or Legend of legacy don't go full retard with models the hardware shouldn't be handling in the first place

>>338433892
That would be a cool Easter egg idea; set the settings to the lowest and get the original game graphics, has any game done something like that?
Wow its fucking nothing
Its the lowest I could get just from the regular options
>>338440659
The closest I can think of is the Shadow Warrior reboot from 2013. There's secret areas in the game that are modeled with assets (don't know if they're the original assets, or re-created) from the original titles. Those spots are easily some of my favorite easter eggs.
>>338440960
I can't even tell which is which. It's like all those graphics options Fallout 4 has are just there as a placebo.

it doesnt really look like sikkmod it looks like one of the gazillion other graphics or shader mods for doom3
not saying it couldn't be sikkmod since everything is customizable, but its not using soft shadows which is like sikkmod's biggest and original 'selling' point

holy shit
I used to play wow on a literal toaster and it never looked that bad
I probably should have turned down the settings, but I initially played at 7-9 fps
I got a newer computer later on and was able to get it up to 12-13 fps, the difference was like night and day
Finally I managed to make my own gaming pc and was able to play with max settings and constant 60 fps, I thought I was going to die
>>338455561
so that idiot decided to reduce texture resolution, which has virtually no impact on performance, but leave up the output resolution, which is bound by fillrate, where laptop GPUs really suck
>>338455561
might want to turn off the second screen while playing
>>338455640
These graphics are sick
>>338455640
my toaster couldn't handle that, can it go lower?
>>338455996
._....________._.___._.__._....._
>>338455483
I don't know, friendo. I barely keep 30fps on low, and Dragonslayer Armour is literally undoable for me alone because it drops into the single digits.
>>338444127
>The clouds still look nice
>>338456514
lower the resolution
>>338456605
Absolutely never.
>>338456653
then suffer. Resolution is one of the most effective means to improve performance, because the weak point with these engines is usually shader throughput.
720p is less than half the pixels of 1080p, which can double your framerate if you're entirely fillrate-bound
>>338456653
>>338456853
conversely, if you insist on driving a 1440p screen, get a GPU that can actually drive it
>>338457025
Waiting for 980ti prices to drop.
>>338444737
I'd honestly play the fuck out of that. That takes me back to the good ol days.
threads like these might be my new favorite thing
>>338435912
I honestly prefer the top one.
>>338456653
can anybody explain this to me? Why is resolution so sacred? People would voluntarily disable all lighting, cripple drawing distance and remove shadows, before dropping resolution? Do you pay attention to individual pixels while playing?
For me the pic as a whole matters. If I can get it slightly more pixelated, while retaining all the visual features, that strikes me as the far better compromise
I'm a pixelated man and a half! Don't need textures, textures are for wussies!
>>338436960
Apparently better quality = more bloom.
>>338456418
finally, something my AMD can handle
>>338458120
top one looks considerably cleaner, but I think this is one case where excessive bloom and reflections are necessary. The game tries to convey an atmosphere of downtown neon lights, a swirl of flashing colors and logos everywhere. Bottom one does that considerably better than top one
>>338458254
Or exposure, or whatever you know what I mean.
>>338458238
are there any good untextured fps games out there? Plenty racing games, some flight sims, but shooters?
>>338458213
To me shitty textures, lighting, and models are more acceptable than having the entire picture be blurry/pixelated.

>>338456591

>>338458464
>Having games look sharp is really important to me
why? I honestly don't get it. What's the benefit? You can see a flat brickwall perfectly crisp, I see a bump mapped torch-lit brickwall with slightly lower resolution. Hell, I could probably identify the brickwall as such, because of its surface. Why should I care that the mortar on it is 3 pixels thick, instead of 4? What do I gain from crispness that makes up for the severe loss in definition?
