MODERATORS
I'm actually kinda interested in how this will change what emulated games look like. Can it improve the visuals in Aria of Sorrows? Or like old racing games?
Depends on what you think the word “improve” means.
Change lighting/mood. I am assuming it's not just a straight toggle and you have to tweak parameters yourself.
I bit of a derailment here, but having done my annual LotR rewatch recently, some of the CGI is starting to stand out for me. Apparently a remaster would cost way too much, and trying to work with such old scenes would be neigh impossible today due to compatibility issues. But I've wondered if a similar tech can be applied, not to change the visuals, but to apply better lighting/shading to things like balrog, or gollum.
I want to be very clear I don't wish for a Star Wars-type remake. LotR may be the best trilogy ever, and it seems less and less likely to ever be dethroned as such.
Please keep slop away from LOTR. I can't believe I even need to ask
Ignorant and short-sighted, same as people complaining abou CG in movies a decade ago.
How you tweak it for your personal viewing is up to you. You already can run it through AI tools to add detail or smooth effects or even turn it into a cartoon if you want to.
Will take some time, will use a lot of energy, will require a decent card or a lot of credits but this can be done today.
Personally I don't think anything will improve it, as I don't care for it already. Just had to say it as your claim it's the best trilogy ever is subjective. Much like the results of processing it with AI.
yeah. clearly the best trilogy is the Cats Trilogy: Cats the Musical, Cats The Musical The Film, and Cats The Butthole Cut
To me the graphics always look fine. The lighting might be slightly off but what really takes me out of it quick is the physics. When things don’t move right it’s off putting. Like the gravity is weird or the biomechanics are just wonky. Perfect example was some of the earlier spider-man movies. The web swinging especially. It just always looked off.
