Cause this seems all PC. While PC will come out on top given the ease of parts replacement at will. It's also truly amazing what developers can do on consoles give "fixed" hardware at also such a low low total product cost in buying a console.
Maybe a video top 10 that separates the two platforms would be cool to see. Next-gen merely means anything that is not feasible on current generation consoles. Typically, PC games become "next-gen" soon after a new console generation begins. I hope you're suggesting years. But on this list I would have gave it to Metro last Light over Crysis 3. Would this be like the latest and greatest graphic's cards?
Like have the best and a better one comes out. Then go replace it. This seems like every 6 months or less. Rather then waiting for 7, 8 years. That system sucks. No, I mean graphical features that go beyond the capabilities of consoles.
PCs don't have generations. Single parts get incrementally better one by one and you have to purchase them one by one. Most multiplatform games are dependent on consoles. Aside from higher res, Fps and maybe a couple of shiny effects, they'll be the pretty much same once XB1 and PS4 launch. PC's very much do have 'generations' AMD's R9 x is very much a 'new' generation of graphics cards A video to separating them would be cool.
Im shocked that id software's Rage wasn't mentioned. Some of the best graphics seen on console imo. I still cant find a game with environments the size of crysis 1 with its dense jungle yet in a game,deserved to be on that list. In fact it was not even on the list retard. You do know those real life and Crysis pics were doctored to make them match.
Its extremely demanding but looks utterly insane. Driveclub and Forza 5 aren't even close to be honest from what I have seen of them. Talking perfect motion blur, loads of realistic 3D trees, super high resolution wet tarmac reflections, amazing shadows cast by spontaneous lightning bolts.
Phenomenal water sheeting across the road and spotting on the paintwork of the cars. Metro last light looks great! Beyond: Two Souls needs to be in the list of best looking games in Beyond has amazing mocap that brings characters to life, and detailed and colorful environments, but it also definitely has low res textures and jaggies.
Looking for a new laptop to game on the go? Here's our guide to the best gaming laptops. If you're up for a bit of subterfuge with friends, Among Us is one you can be sure they'll be able to play almost no matter how old their machine is. It even has cross-play between PCs and phones if that's all they have handy. Among Us is a familiar format to anyone who's played Werewolf or other similar group tabletop games. A crew of brightly-colored space engineers are stuck trying to repair a ship while discovering who among them get it?
The fun is in how well you and your friends can fool one another more than fancy lighting effects, so it's an easy one to pick up and play on a low-spec machine.
Release date: Developer: Jagex Link: Steam. This oldie hails from the era when today's low end PCs were hot stuff. Runescape has been around for a long time and there's definitely a reason why. This MMO hails from the days when online games didn't always guide you down a paved path of quests and leveling opportunities. The Old School version of Runescape takes you back to those early days of its online world. You may struggle to get started in this one without the wiki handy, but at least it won't put your PC to the test.
The not titled goose game is plenty short and so are its required system specs. If you somehow went dark on the internet in the weeks following the Goose Game's launch, you may have missed how many goose memes it birthed into the unsuspecting mainstream social media sphere.
The Goose Game is a charming little stealth puzzler about being a terribly foul goose on the loose in a quaint little British village. Release date: Developer: Valve Link: Steam page. We could have included pretty much any Source engine game here, such is the impressive way it scales to lower-spec hardware. Admittedly, that might be because it's getting on a bit. While Half-Life 2 shines these days with visual mods and at higher resolutions, Portal 2 remains one of the funniest, smartest puzzle games around, even if you had cause to play it at x with all the settings turned to 'Low'.
You're not playing this one to be wowed by fancy graphical effects—you're playing for Stephen Merchant's, J. Simmons', and Ellen McLain's terrific voice acting, and of course for that bit with the potato. Release date: Developer: Mojang Link: Official site.
Mojang's infinite block-'em-up isn't terribly demanding specs-wise, and it's the perfect game to mess around with on a laptop when you're supposed to be writing features for PC Gamer about low-spec games. While it's often played on a tablet, phone or console these days, you're getting the latest updates and mod support if you choose to build stuff with your PC. Here's our frequently updated list of the best Minecraft mods. An indie sensation that brought the idyllic farm life of Harvest Moon to PC.
Build your farm into a vegetable empire, go exploring, learn about the lives of your neighbors, fall in love and settle down. Simple graphics ensure this one will run like a dream on your laptop, and it'll make long flights pass by in a snap. Stardew Valley has officially supported co-op farming for a couple years now, which is undoubtedly a great way to go back to Pelican Town.
This tiny strategy game was one of our early favorites in Most importantly, all that classically-inspired goodness comes in a tiny installation that shouldn't challenge your PC nearly as much as your strategy skills. An instantly addictive card combat roguelike, which takes the strategic fun of deckbuilding board games and marries it with the sensibilities of games like The Binding of Isaac and Risk of Rain, where finding random "relics" can change how you play. Or, if you get a lucky combination, turn you into a murderous card god.
Call of Duty: Ghosts was advertised as a truly next-gen title; a game that would push PC systems to their limits. COD: Ghosts is the game with the highest system requirements, however the game looks similar to Black Ops 2.
Ubisoft claimed that its engine would scale wonderfully on multi-cores. The game suffers from performance issues that will never get addressed. A shame really as Nvidia did its best to provide the French studio with some nice graphical features.
Hell, even Ubisoft itself included cool features, like the ocean and foliage tech. Make no mistake; Aliens: Colonial Marines is an awful and boring game. However, its latest version came close to its E3 build and performed great.
Alien Rage looks fantastic and would be our number 10 title this year, however CI Games has not fixed the bugged scenes we reported. Remember Me looks gorgeous but comes with limited graphical settings and also suffers from un-optimized scenes, and the same can be said about Resident Evil 6 as Capcom has not addressed anything at all after all these months.
DmC Devil May Cry. DmC Devil May Cry looks fabulous and colorful. Although the new Dante is not as cool as the old one, DmC Devil May Cry performs incredibly well on a variety of systems. Even when lots of enemies are on screen, the game does not stress systems.
The game runs extremely well even on low-end specs with all of its graphical options enabled , and its colorful level design really stands out. DmC Devil May Cry is taking advantage of quad-cores, even though it does not stress them as much as Far Cry 3 did, and does not require a high-end GPU for a smooth experience. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. We were really impressed with Gunslinger. Although this is a downloadable game, it packs some great visuals.
Not only that, but the game performs great on a variety of systems. Powered by Chrome 5, Gunslinger tops its predecessor — The Cartel — in every possible way.
And contrary to Dead Island — another game that is powered by the same engine — Gunslinger does not suffer from annoying micro-stuttering side effects. A solid job from Techland. Moreover, the game runs like a charm even on dual-core systems, though it does require a good graphics card in order to be enjoyed on max settings. Valve does a fantastic job optimizing their games, with pretty much all of them playing well on low-end PCs. Portal 2 is no exception, although the game can look pretty fantastic with high-end graphics.
But even "watered down," and with the settings on low, Portal 2 is one of the most engaging and entertaining puzzle adventures ever produced.
Most players come to experience the hilarious storyline and stellar voice action, only to be completely gripped by Portal's unique brand of gameplay. What's even better is that Portal 2 can be enjoyed with a friend, thanks to an entirely separate cooperative storyline.
This means there's twice as much to see and do in Portal 2, and it should all run smoothly with low requirements. It's hard sometimes to find enjoyable multiplayer games that feature very low-end requirements but there are some serious gems out there. Among Us is a great example that video games don't need insanely complex graphics or gameplay elements to be a blast. With its cute 2D art style and mini-game-like structure, Among Us offers players a fun gameplay loop that is accentuated by a multiplayer mechanic that makes it even more engaging.
Not only will players enjoy the "tasks" sprinkled around each map, but they'll also need to keep away from a player-slaying imposter, while also maintaining their innocence. Loop Hero is a fantastic strategy game with a unique premise and some serious nostalgic vibes.
That said, players with high-end PCs shouldn't sleep on this title just because it looks and feels like a retro release. The world of Loop Hero is complex, giving players the opportunity to "influence a world" rather than simply control a character.
They'll need to place down cards, create paths, manage resources, and "strategize for the future. Those who enjoy punishing gameplay and strategy elements should put Darkest Dungeon at the top of their list. This gritty, macabre RPG is downright unfair at times, hitting players with strings of bad luck and RNG-generated madness. Even the smartest and most prepared players can find themselves hopelessly clinging to life at the hands of Darkest Dungeon's mechanics.
Thanks to its charming 2D aesthetics and side-scrolling action, Darkest Dungeon doesn't require an immense amount of PC power to run smoothly. A lack of complex particle effects paired with its hand-drawn and sometimes simplistic graphics allows players with low-end PCs to join in on the fun. It also features a pretty dedicated modding community, so there's a lot of customization to be found.
There's a lot of debate found throughout the gaming world on whether or not games need expressive graphics and gameplay to be considered truly great. Undertale firmly plants itself as an Indie release that proves that a game can have a fantastic story, fun gameplay, and engaging characters with minimal graphics and effects.
Toby Fox created an incredibly imaginative world that spawned a massive cult following thanks to its colorful cast of characters, incredible soundtrack, and fast-paced dodge-based gameplay elements. Anyone who hasn't played Undertale is seriously missing out and its ability to run well on even the lowest of low-end PCs gives almost anyone a chance to experience it. Tycoon games are both bigger than ever and also a lost genre.
There are plenty of titles, particularly in the mobile space, that attempt to replicate the experience without much of the charm. One of the best options is Game Dev Tycoon , a game about developing video games and becoming a major developing in historical replica of the game's industry at least, in the PAL Regions.
Game Dev Tycoon doesn't offer a lot of complexity in creating literal video games, but in terms of a business simulator, it's incredibly solid. While definitely challenging at first, after a few attempts the game is easy to navigate. The best part is that it can run not just on low-end PC's, but also cheaper Chromebooks through the Google Play Store.
It's addictive and fun and able to be played on just about any device.
