An ocean of hate in this thread… I’m excited for this tech, and hope there’s a way to inject it into classics that haven’t aged so well because they aimed for realism at a time when it was unachievable. Now we can actually see how those games might have looked had they been fully successful.

Off the top of my head, I think this would be great in most Elder Scrolls games, most notably Daggerfall. Almost anything released for N64, with it’s extremely flat textures, or PSX with it’s heavily pixelated textures. Maybe GoldenEye you’ll actually be able to make out other characters from further than 20’ or Final Fantasy IX won’t look like 3D blobs hovering over static, pre-rendered scenes.

I’m excited to replay so many games without feeling let down by my nostalgia filter when actually seeing them again!

Now let the waves of down-votes roll over me like I’m at the beach, for having the audacity of disagreeing with the irrational and incensed mob.

I can only pray to god that I never become this lost.

Spend a decade getting an advanced degree in a technology that genuinely excites you, ignites your passion, and then turns out to be universally reviled. You’ll catch up quick.

Use AI to do cool stuff instead of trying to automate the soul out of artwork.

I also work in tech btw.

Cool is subjective, though. I personally think it’s cool to offer options to change and reimagine art. Let personal preference dictate whether someone enables it, or not. Hate isn’t necessary, but it’s in abundance.
