The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (emulated)

The Trine series is really pretty and even the newest entry has relatively modest hardware requirements.

My potato from 15 years ago could in fact not run if (fluently; had like 15 fps).

ut'99 baby. full game with healthy stack of mods would be maybe a gig or two. would look and play well on most types of computational vegetation. ok, yeah UT2004 would also look nice and play in most potatoes.

i listed more but then I looked and it showed my age so I deleted them and focused on unreal ya whippersnappers.

Not the same as any of these, but I always felt Spyro had a beauty to it, even if it is a bright and colourful one.

The original Talos Principle, easily one of the most stunning games I've played.
By the time I reached the desert stages I would regularly just stop and look around, soaking it in.
Damnit I need to buy a VR headset just to play it again in VR!

Phenomenal call, well met stranger.

Twilight Princess

[–] bort@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

for the 2nd requirments, I guess it falls into any of these categories

  • old games (e.g. HL2, Doom2016)
  • indigames (e.g. Hades, Cuphead)
  • 2D games (e.g. Disco Elysium)

I love New Vegas but gorgeous is not a adjective that I would use to describe it.

[–] GunnarGrop@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

I don't know. In many ways I'd describe Fallout 1 and 2 as better looking than New Vegas...

The PS4 is hardly a potato, no?

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

And the PS4 can hardly run Bloodborne (to my standards)
