Need low power FPS games

[E-Bear]

Hi.

I have bought a low power Acer aspire 5250-0678 laptop equipped with a E300 dualcore 1.3 GHz, Radeon HD 6310 and upgraded to 6 gigs of DDR3.
It does all I need like web, Youtube, music, movies but i would like to do some low gaming.

I installed already " Boiling point : Road to hell " but I need more low power or older games like that one. Will probably install also Call of duty 1 even if I finished it so many times.
is there any fps you could suggest me for that thing? It's just to spend time and it needs to work single player without internet connection.

Thank you.

Heres a review plus several games

The Brazos Review: AMD's E-350 Supplants ION for mini-ITX

www.anandtech.com

Off the top of my head I would say Half Life 2, system shock, bio shock, medal of honor (if you like war games FPS)

Check out GoG.com as they have an entire catalog of older FPS games that you can play off line

Old as hell, but still incredible:
System Shock 2.

 

[Ruru]

GTA III, Vice City & San Andreas!

e: Though the Steam version of SA sucks badly, with a quick test the version from Rockstar Launcher seems to work better.

Browse thru this list https://www.gog.com/games?sort=popularity&page=1&category=shooter&feature=single&hide=dlc AFAIK all GOG games have offline, single player mode.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, IGI series, Clive Barkers Undying, Jedi Knight series, Medal of Honor series, Painkiller, Soldier of Fortune etc.

You'll struggle to play the likes of fear, fear cry, call of juarez, doom 3 and bioshock etc on that, some are barely playable on my vega 3 which is about 10x better... The e300 was poor back when it was released in 2011, I'm not trying to rain on your parade BTW I get that it's something new to play with and see what you can get out of though I think that excitement will be short lived with the e300, I'd be looking at anything pre 2005 and it will still struggle with some titles

Thats exactly why I ask low power nd old games in my op.

Check out Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, one of my favorite games.

Ion Fury, it's from 2019 but uses modified Duke Nukem 3d engine.

It's on gog.

 

[snuif09]

Deus Ex! Runs on everything and is just an amazing game

There are no "low power" games, there are old or new games compared to your hardware.
From the top of my mind, i played on my 2008 Atom CPU and GMA950, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Mafia 1, Clive Barkes Undying, Delta Force 1 and 2, Half Life, Ground Control, KOTOR. 640x480 res, low-medium details, OpenGL ran better than DirectX, most of them ran at 20-40 fps. I would say that most games up to 2001-2002 period, will run on that hardware.

COD MW1 was our go-to game at LANs 10 years ago when we wanted to include friends with old laptops. Quake 3, Hidden and Dangerous 2, Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 4, Swat 3, Killing Floor.

 

[Komshija]

NOLF 2, Manhunt, Deadly Dozen, Hitman Codename 47, Hitman 2 Silent Assassin, Shadow Ops Red Mercury, Pariah... You should be able to play them all at low-medium settings.

I managed to play and finish Crysis 2 and Far Cry 3 on my laptop at 720p resolution and medium details (I had 30-ish FPS on average ), which back then had C2D P8700, HD 4670 1GB & 4GB DDR3 RAM. So you should be able to play the games mentioned above without much problems.

NOLF 2

How I didn't remember to mention this, simply an awesome older game!

This runs even with a potato, I remember that Athlon 1.4GHz & GeForce 4 Ti 4200 ran perfectly.

 

[candle_86]

Unreal
Half life
Doom
Doom 2
Wolf 3d
Duke 3d
Dark Forces
Quake
Quake II
Elite Force
Soilder of Fortune
Soilder of Fortune 2
Men of Valor
Medal of Honor Allied Assault
No One Lives Forever
No One Lives Forever 2
Dark Forces 2
Mysteries of the Sith
Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight
Hexen
Heratic

That should get you started

Thought of another one.

Project I.G.I

 

[Vario]

UT99.

 

[Sensates]

UT99
Deus Ex
Max Payne 1, 2 - not first person, but still great

 

[8BitZ80]

Not exactly a first-person shooter but Soldat is very entertaining and can run on even the oldest systems.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy doesn't take much to run and it's...interesting...

 

[Ruru]

I don't think that there would be problems even with UT2003 or 2004, they don't need that much of horsepower. I remember playing UT2003 without problems with the same PC I played NOLF2 which I mentioned above.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

It's not FPS (TPS) but if you've never played the original Mafia game, I highly recommend it. I played it on a 2007 laptop with Intel integrated graphics. The campaign is fantastic (among the best ever) and it has a fun challenge mode on the side (e.g. go from A-B with a gas guzzling car, survive a zeppelin bombing a bridge, etc.) to take advantage of the open world.

Another TPS worth considering is Fable: The Lost Chapters. It always gives me motion sickness when I first start playing it but it's worth it to work through it. Game is fantastic.


I don't know how Fallout New Vegas would run on that machine but if it does run, it would be a good choice.

 

[Chomiq]

Original Ghost Recon games.

 

[Vario]

Halo Combat Evolved (the original 2003 PC release)
Hitman Blood Money (and Codename 47, Silent Assassin Contracts)
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Call Of Duty 2 (as you mention CoD1)
