what playing tf2 on extremely low graphics is like

[@Fishtank.]

Your browser is holding you back. Level up with Opera GX: operagx.gg/fishtank2

[@guy8829]

No 😡

[@couchpotatoyay]

Great scotts! if only i wasn´t already viewing this from todays sponsor, opera gx!

[@EeveeMaster547]

I have Opera but it doesn't have some important extensions I use. Did you know that apparently Opera doesn't have a single extension or mod for replacing a specific word? I have a phobia that I use a word replacer to avoid literally having to get up and gag whenever I see it, so until Opera has something for that I unfortunately can't use it.

[@DrHeinzy]

@@EeveeMaster547 What is the word?

[@EeveeMaster547]

@@DrHeinzy I'd rather not comment it here, since every time I get notified about this comment thread I'd end up seeing it.

[@purplehaze2358]

I think it's a real testament to how accessible this game is when even graphics settings like these are more than playable.

[@TheMistermastermario]

the character design in tf2 is truly amazing, people have done all kinds of stuff messing with assets but you can always instantly tell what team people are on or what class they are super easily

[@kodak1587]

It's not "graphics settings" it's a mod for the game. Not the same

[@danthewaterman_]

[@NeedyBoBeedy]

[@BaeYeou]

​@@kodak1587 Even so, he did a bunch of stuff with in-game settings. Flattening textures, lowering overall quality of all video settings, and reducing resolution are all things you can do in-game, and from experience they barely do a thing for readability.

[@UncleDane]

looks like the Conker's Bad Fur Day multiplayer

[@OniHel]

More like Ultrakill

[@Robbie_knobbie]

i think it varies depending on the class played. Conker= scout, quake= soldier, edging/gooning= pyro etc etc

wait ur right that shit looks like them army squirrels that fought the teddy bears

[@sirif7100]

It unironically still looks good and holds up strong Gives me real old-school shooters vibes and i like it

[@TreeckoBean]

fr, it honestly gave me nostalgia for something i know has never existed in tf2.

[@beastup7up]

why would it give you the vibes of an old school-shooter?

[@Jackfromshack]

PS1 era game's graphics is iconic

[@nonyabusiness5186]

its mostly the models they look straight out of replicas like ultrakill

[@HyperbolicArachnid]

TF2 is becoming old school as well so this comment is fitting

[@Png_gaming]

I actually really like the low graphics player and weapon models, if only the maps looked as good in low graphics mode.

[@Radomuser-px2xq]

Kinda looks like he's playing on a Ds

[@slipangle3027]

these are custom models, the game doesn't actually look like this if you just chuck the graphics to low

[@Png_gaming]

@@slipangle3027 Dang, could have sworn the game had these.

[@hydrosmusic]

@@slipangle3027 it's actually possible to get low-poly weapon models using mastercomfig's model detail lowest setting, just not these exact models in the video I think

[@StitchPen]

@@Png_gamingNah, the game basically reduces itself to mush as soon as you set mat_picmip to its lowest capacity. At that point, the merc's eyes get replaced for their facemaps, all models become solid colors, etc.

[@dr.robertnick9599]

If you put it at 144p it looks like normal TF2 at 144p. Like... it is barely distinguishable from normal TF2 footage at 144p.

[@rdove_]

holy shit you're kinda right but also not really

[@rsodrealm]

low quality + low quality = high quality no way

[@nitefurie.]

Just double checked this and yeah while it’s still very distinguishable from high quality gameplay, the difference isn’t as big as you would expect

[@BunnyVapor]

i was not prepared for fishtank to randomly say "what is edging"

[@brown-eyedcheese5440]

it’s my god given right !!!!!

[@pankek5431]

The funny thing is, there are people who would unironically play the game like this for a small fps boost

[@Ablors]

or actually be able to play it (I hate integrated laptop gpu's)

[@valde3d]

If this was allowed on valve servers I would absolutely love to play like this.. 😂

It’s times like this where you can really tell TF2 is based on HL2

[@icosagram]

hl2 doesn't look _this_ bad lol it looks just as good as tf2

[@airapples]

Looks more like a HL1 mod with low settings

[@karunyagopan]

what hl2 looks good to this day

[@lenship2]

tf2 has worse graphics than hl2 though?

[@robloxboxertblocked]

@@lenship2 more of a less realistic art style

What is that song? It isn't in the pastebin

[@carpet_appetite]

@@de_salle pretty sure it was a short lil custom remix done for him by CATAWAKE. I'm not sure it is available or even a full song, but I listened to their other songs and they're all bangers, highly recommend

hi! late response, but this was a custom request for fishtank that i made. it's a short cut, but happy you liked it!

[@de_salle]

​@@catawaketv2426I think it sounds dope, reminds me of the grooviest songs from Daft Punk's Homework album, do you have the full bit somewhere? I think a full version would be great too, but that's up to you. Have a nice day.

@@catawaketv2426 a bummer that it's short, but i've been listening to the rest of your music and it's just as fire! keep going man!

It gains 2 extra frames or 3 if you turn off the 3d player model in the hud

[@eugeniaamariei8626]

It's everyday bro.

[@NMbass906]

I played with an fps config and low settings on my old laptop for so long that this honestly still looks pretty natural to me. I've seen a few videos of these conversions and the wildest thing to me is that it kinda looks better than how I used to play lol. Even after I upgraded my PC to something current gen I still only put my config up a little bit graphically because it was just so weird to get used to lol.

[@infamoushacker4chan883]

I play MVM like this because Valve's source spaghetti takes a toll on my old computer and this boosts my fps massively.

[@alexxx4434]

At this point, can we have a mod to make it look like the Quake mod the franchise originally started as? (blood splurts are already spot on)

[@oktayyildirim2911]

Every time that hella aliased spy portrait appears, I hear the vine slam sound in my head.

[@rowrow_]

The whole time I was thinking "This is like if TF2 was on the DS" and only just now noticed the thumbnail. So thank you for beating me to the punch

[@ojhat]

this video was so comfy. I love the music choices, it was chill to have playing while working on something. Would love more (not neccessarily the low graphics, though it's honestly really fun to see, I'm a huge sucker for low polygon graphics)

[@JohnBread69]

damn bruh you really blueballed us by not including the best song from the video in the pastebin link at 23:51

[@sakuyaenjoyer]

What’s weird is that particles cannot be turned down. Sometimes I think that is why the game is still laggy. Particles on the source engine are very inefficient.

[@MajoraWaffle]

tf2 comp players be like "but it helps increase my framerate by, like, 6 bro"

[@lonelyshpee7873]

I can't believe they managed to get TF2 running on the Nintendo DS

[@phantasmagoria9898]

I love how they made you aim with the touchscreen, very intuitive and surprisingly functional.

[@SimpleSaemple]

Regarding The Enforcer. Yes I agree with you it's actually good for Gun Spy, but you need to use "use last disguise" button. It lets you easily get the +20% damage bonus if you can wait long enough

[@TJ-hg6op]

Still think that the stock is better for more consistent damage, and even if you disguise constantly you are still dealing less damage than stock.

[@Katastrophe9009]

I played like this for about a year on my old crappy laptop which could just barely run this game at a playable framerate with these settings on, albeit still stuttering every now and then and of course, the occasional random Source engine crash. Was still worth it though, the game was still just as fun.

[@ponful4596]

this video is so good it had me remaking the ketchup video on my desk, but it was a white substance instead

[@ralek592]

Fishtank is more a gamer than a content creator simply by the fact he didn't try to get mods of a server on the line to clear out the server or kick others to make space for him.

[@he3004]

real gamers queue up for the server and play orange x7 randomizer while waiting

[@seagullad27]

I appreciate the Psychonauts music at the start, really sets the tone.

[@Coolyo420]

I gotta say everytime a youtuber does this I notice the sounds sound way more futuristic for the gameplay for example you could put one of the stock TF2 hitsounds that sound like 8-bit hitsounds (there is a few) to make it fit more with the visuals. and also the kill sounds there might be other ways to mod tf2 sounds that I might not have heard of

[@cormorantcolors]

I know they’re not from the actual game but the low poly merc models are actually so charming

[@scootymaster5256]

The enforcer is fine however you’d do better if you remembered the slower firing speed. Since it has lower firing speed, you have to stop firing longer than stock for the accuracy to reset
