looks like shit

>>6854676

Really?

>>6854838
yes, half this image looks oversharpened and the other half is blurry. it's inconsistent and Yer Brain does a better job of interpretting the original blurry images than some shithead's algorithm.

How do I play this?

>>6854857
You're just a cynical autistic faggot. It's not perfect, but it does look better than the original.

I don't know why people hate on these, almost nobody hooks a 320x240 CRT for old PC games. Even if the end result is somewhat soulless, it still beats seeing huge blocky pixels stretched to fit a screen of 1080p minimum.

I still think it is worth it if you've played RE3 to death.

>>6854908
Which version of the game is the algorithm applied to? PC? PS1? GC?

It is autism.

>>6854857
While I want to agree with you that it looks shitty, I can only wonder if it was probably actually like that in the original source files. The game was made with a 320x240 resolution in mind so why bother with more detail that what will be rendered. Yes, I know the non ps1 versions use higher res backgrounds, but those come off as an after thought to me considering all the overlays, the entire police station, and a couple other random backgrounds here and there were still in 320x240.

>>6854547
RESHDP isn't perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than emulating normally.

>>6854924
Gamecube.

>>6854547

The HD resolution is elite man. You can’t ever go back. Let’s hope they do one for Veronica.

>>6854945

It’s retardom

>>6854547
Too much ringing, and there's this weird combination of things that are too detailed, because the AI created some where there was none, and things like the signs where the text was too low res to be readable, so the output is this bizarre smeared mess.

I can see why younger players new to the series may prefer it, but for me, it looks much worse than a simple shader at native res.

Wish they did it to Dino Crisis 2, that game could really get an upgrade on the graphics.

>>6854857
I see where you're coming from but I like the new one far, far better.

Which version has 640x480 backgrounds? I know one of them do. Was it the GameCube, or the PC version?

Highest Kino would be if Capcom just released the source images. I doubt we're getting RE3 Classic HD

>Highest Kino would be if Capcom just released the source images. I doubt we're getting RE3 Classic HD

I wonder if Capcom has the original model files anywhere? Probably not. I think they were rendered on SGi workstations?

>>6854908
Thanks bro looks fun

been playing re3 since it came out on dreamcast and i think the HD looks about as good as you could hope for

>>6855138
Capcom can't even keep a prototype and you expect them to have GBs of source images for backgrounds.

>>6854547
If they just upscaled the backgrounds with their garbage algorithm without doing touch-ups, fuck their shitty mod.

>>6855787
Incel response

>Let’s hope they do one for Veronica.
It has been already done.

Thinking more on it, if you're going to boost the internal resolution and be done with it, you get high res 3D on very low res 2D backgrounds, and it looks pretty terrible. There's such a jarring difference between the 3D assets and the 2D backgrounds, it's really distracting. Comparatively, low res 3D paired with low res 2D provides a cohesive aesthetic, blending everything together.

NN upscaling, while imperfect (as >>6855787
mentioned it really needs to be touched up by a human to get everything looking right), does blend well with the high res 3D you get when pumping IR, giving you a much better image than you would otherwise get by increasing the resolution and leaving the background assets alone.

>>6856003
>that screenshot

can't see shit captain

>>6855018
CV doesn't have pre-rendered backgrounds.

>>6855787
They didn't, they made a lot of fine tuning. Not every detail transitioned perfectly but it's better than a simple filter.
I shouldn't have to answer shit that is directly answered by the website but most of 4chan is illiterate.

Beautiful.

>>6857423
>>6857425

Why do I like both

it shouldn't make sense

>>6857447
A filter is not even a valid comparison. Artifacts are only really a problem here when you zoom in which you can't do during gameplay. It looks fine when you display the whole image on a 1080p screen. The higher internal rendering resolution doesn't matter in this case.

>>6854547
The algorithm really biffs it here and there but I think this is the best way to render the game in a higher than intended resolution. The difference in model and environment resolution is just too jarring otherwise.

Downsampling + shaders are another route to go if you really must enhance these games.

>>6857425
it blend so much better with the 3D model.

>>6854838
>>6854908
You idiots need to dial 555-come-on-now if you're gonna tell me that these don't look better than the original backgrounds with in high res.
>MUH NEGLIGIBLE ARTIFACTS
Compared to the whole screen looking like an artifact compared to the model?

>>6857458
Upscales look terrible and you simply don't see it because you're blind. The comparison is historical rather than technical. I see someone else above has already mentioned Super Eagle et al, so yeah. I'm pretty confident that algorythmic upscaling will be there one day, but at the moment it's not even remotely ready. As a curio, these backgrounds are more or less interesting, but using them to play the game is just silly.

>>6854547
They're amazing, but not what I'd consider complete. Capcom should look at this, enjoy the same technology to make HD versions of these games, but should have artists touch up and correct details on each background. These look fantastic for a first step but need refinement. If Capcom handled it, maybe we could get a modern port with all of the content across each version of RE2 for example.

>>6854676
Nah, fuck off.

>>6854903
This. They are objectively better unless you're playing on the originally intended 240p resolution on a crt monitor.

>>6854676

>>6857596

I wish they would have done this with FF7. Shit you can probably create a demand for a market with this. It’ll be niche, so it may not be worth it for them.

AI up-scaling is ass.

>>6857423
>>6857425
Usually with these kinds of mods for pre-rendered background games (or even other games) there's a lack of attention but aside from the potted plant thing in the bottom right and the wall it's on warping a tiny bit the HD version is spot on, every object is in the same position, the same color, the little painting on the wall is right, the magazine on the table, even the diagram on the whiteboard is right.
Whoever made this did an amazing job.

>>6854547
Absolutely retarded. If you're not playing this on a CRT you're experiencing a far worse game, no matter how people waste hours mangling the art, or ugly uprendering via emulation

>>6856003
>Thinking more on it, if you're going to boost the internal resolution
This is why you don't do this if you have even a vague aesthetic sense

>>6859501
Shut up you dumb fucking faggot. I can beat RE3 on hard with 0 saves in about an hour and have played the shit out of this game. This project is fun and a great way to breath new life into the game. You need to take a break from the internet.

As I was saying. Retarded hack for retards with no taste

>>6859568
>hack
But all my hard mode no save runs were done on original hardware. Youre just an autistic retard who makes up for being terrible at video games by insisting on only playing on original hardware. Time to turn off your computer kid.

>>6859568
>>As I was saying. Retarded hack for retards with no taste

think about who you are at this very moment and ask yourself if being a pedantic cunt is worth it.

>>6859579
>>6859592
Is this a joke or are you actual faggots?

>>6859605

Whose to say someone isn't playing this on a CRT monitor you stupid faggot

I'm playing this on my early 2017 gaming build with a ds4 controller on a 1080p monitor. The speed difference compared to original hardware makes me hard. Everything feels so much more responsive. This is the way RE3 was meant to be played. Going to do a few slow hard runs to take in the sights before a few speed running autism runs.

>>6859605
Yes actual faggots

Can I use this version of Dolphin to play other GC games or do I need to download an unmodified Dolphin

>>6854676
No it does not

>>6854903
I dont understand the hate either. Is it really just autism?

These guys did the same thing for RE2 as well. They're both well done and a lot of fun.

I download the emulators for both RE2 and RE3 and I'm playing through RE2 right now. Thanks for posting this.

They still never covered those red herbs from the lower room...
