With Resident Evil HD Remaster gracing store shelves this month, one has to wonder: Will other PS1 classics get such a treatment and if so, which ones?
Edgar writes: "Let's take a look at the Resident Evil HD Remaster, how it significantly improved upon the original and became one of the best horror games ever made."
Despite some signs of its age, Resident Evil is still as scary as ever with the remake's recent release on Nintendo Switch.
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks have been really interesting as we've seen some truly amazing AI-enhanced texture packs for older games. Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Half-Life, Max Payne, Morrowind and Doom are just a few of the games that got new high-quality textures that were produced via AI Neural Networks and today, modder ‘Shiryu’ released a new AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Resident Evil HD Remaster."
I'm not really convinced by this AI Neural Networks thing using this as an example. I know you can't ask for much when it comes to pre-rendered stuff, but you can barely see a difference with most of these. At its worst, there's an imperceptible difference. At its best, you can see it cleared up some jaggies and looks a liiiittle less blurry.
I will download it of course, but based on the screenshots, this doesn't improve things a whole lot.
It does make a difference. Mods in general are just awesome. They've helped make so many of my games look better. The HD reworked texture mods and other mods for The Witcher 3, for example, made it look way better.
This may be small improvements now but it could be huge for gaming's future. AI with a ryzen based chip programmed to use the neural network to determine to the metal coding might allow programmers to focus on high level coding. That means games get done really fast and the budget goes into things like story and production. Once you have an ai that understands its given hardware it can decide how to run the code to maximize frames and resolution. AI will revolutionize gaming.
Resident Evil HD is a remake of the original. Big difference between Remaster and Remake and Reboot.
Remake... Making the same game but with the graphics of the console its built on (MGS: Twin Snakes\ Resident Evil REmake)
Remaster.. Same game, Higher Resolution and Frame Rate with a small amount of improvements.
Reboot... Same name of the game but an entirely different story or outcome.
I dont want Crash, Dino Crisis Remastered, I want them to be Remaked, same gameplay with a few tweaks but with a graphics of a PS4 game.
Bring on Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Blasto, and MediEvil
Bad article, RE HD is a remaster of the 2002 Gamecube remake.
Gracing store shelves? It's digital though. And this is originally from 2002.
So if more ps1 games were going to be remade, it would have been back then.
Strange article.
PS1 JPRGs, bring them on
