I personally don't use HD packs, I just try them to see if I can learn something new, and as for the Silent Hill example it was just a saying, a random example, you know, for the amount of symbolism and detail the game has wich is very important to that specific series, I haven't tested any SH pack yet. Yeah, disrepectful was not the correct word, I was referring to the artists behind the games viewpoint and how they would feel about the work done here regarding the care for their original work. That's why I've made this hub, not only we'll get help from the people who use our packs, but they'll also are gonna learn about our struggles if they want to help us with the upscaling process. I respect all the modders here whether you are a beginner or master, it is still a learning process all in all. If you are dissapointed with the results, you should give credits instead of critizicing his work for good as first sight but has problem on closer inspection and still if you are not satisfied, then make your own pack and do not rely on other modders to do pack for your game. So, when you used the word "disrespectful", in your previous comment, I though your the first one should know the struggles of a modder in making HD pack whether it is low, meduim or high remastered. Majority of the modders here, rely on there own dumping of images because they will know where's the part that produces a junk images, image that turns black when upscaled and missing image when upscaled also. For me, there is no one day pack remastered unless the dumping is not comes from me. You have to use different models in order to suits your preferences. Whatever medium you are using, there is no guarantee the outcome will be at high level remastered image. That 4xHDCube is starting to peak my interest, I'm gonna give it a try lol. English is not my first language so I'm not good at that. Also, labeling by quality or tiers seems a little harsh on those who are starting or just do it because it's fun, maybe we can label packs by a low-medium-high level of revisal or fidelity. But for example, as a fan of Masahiro Ito's work, I wouldn't want him to see a 'high tier' Silent Hill 2 HD pack made in a day that looks good at first sight but has problems on closer inspection, because that would show Masahiro how little people care about his work, and that's not true. And about the disrecpectful part, I meant to say from the artist's point of view, what I meant to say is that labeling with a high tier games upscaled in an afternoon only because they used certain program would make the artists of the industry see it as disrespectful, or maybe I used the wrong word and 'caring' would be more appropiate, if folks respect or care about the artist works or just do it for internet fame or money I don't care at all. Panda_Venom said kinda the same thing in other thread, not all results are the same, even with the same program is used. What I think is that giving a high tier to all packs that use the same program doesn't sound optimal, when curating the results is more important. Seems like I have phrased it very wrong lol, sounded right in my native language. Also, there still is no easy solution for remaking FMV's even if they dumped proper MP4's, the amount of time necessary to re-do pre-rendered cutscenes would be insane.Ĭlick to expand.Oh, yeah, but I do agree with you, I even posted the hub for people to add a bounty to games so they get upscaled, that's how much I want more packs. You see it as disrespectful but I see it as a necessary evil for most of the textures to not be pixelated for 2K or higher rendering and to have multiple games done within a year. We can make proper remasters in due time but that will take FAR longer than these AI upscalers for now. I also just want an HD version to exist, period regardless of "quality" since a lot of the games I upscale most likely won't get a proper remaster for a decade or maybe never considering how few people are doing them (right now you are the only one). All AI generated packs are gonna produce blurry results for text and certain parts of an image below a certain threshold of size, but the majority of the textures look amazing (at least with 4xHDCube) also I would take an AI upscaled remaster with mostly good results over a non-remastered pixelated image any day, the few blurry images take the immersion out less often than the low res images of every image all the time.
