Forums - Gaming Discussion - What's the lowest level of graphics you still find acceptable?

 

For me...

High end PC 9 2.39%
 
PS4/Xbone 49 13.03%
 
Wii U/PS3/360 98 26.06%
 
3DS/Wii/6th gen 61 16.22%
 
Pre 6th gen 159 42.29%
 
Total:376

Like most people said, it depends on the game's art style. For games that strive for realism, 6th gen is still fine with me. Games like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 are definitely acceptable.

5th gen is definitely tough to handle though.

For 2D games it depends entirely on the art-style. For 3D games I would say PS2/GC/XBOX. I still play SSX3 sometimes.

It's about animations for me. The realer they are the better.

PS2 Prince of Persia games are prettier to me than many ps3/ps4 titles. Thanks to the fluid and solid animations.

I'm willing to sacrifice almost anything else (graphically speaking) for a fluid, life-like animation.



Around the Network

I find down to NES graphics acceptable, except some parts of the PS1/N64 era. Some games looked and moved very oddly and find them kinda hard to play.

For 3D- Anything from 6th gen onwards. N64/PS1 graphics just don't look right.
For 2D- Anything down to the NES. Atari 2600 games might be a bit too simple sometimes.

Exactly.



Right here:



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
