So how far are we from an AI “enhanced” re-release of A New Hope?
And then they should purge all availability of the old version, as is tradition.
Fuck AI, go look at this project! https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/
Probably already happened
I threw up in my mouth a bit
It’s Afghanimation.
At some point people are going to ask, why even bother participating in this society?
What’s it supposed to look like?
I can’t find the same scene, but here are some examples:
It’s about 41 seconds into the intro, hard to get a perfect freeze frame:
Nice find. It does look quite different. Our brains are better at filling in the missing resolution than AI.
edit: it reminds me of comparing old pixel games on a CRT vs modern TVs.
Yup, but at the same time, although I don’t care to defend the upscaling, it does seem a slightly unfair frame to pick as being representative of the whole. It’s a super brief shot in an action moment where the characters look distinctly goofy and low-detailed in the original.
Yeah, that’s a fair point.
Edit: Deleted old comment, was a bit much to say; it already looked bad and the AI made it look worse. Why do it? Just keep the old native res release up. No one asked for a AI upscale.
Toad’s hat looks especially bad even in the original.
Seeing this the upscaled one doesn’t look bad at all
Whats wrong? Toad always wore a Frisbee.
Apparently he did in the original scene as well!
The show looks kinda shitty even without AI upscaling. It was super low budget and from the late 80s/early 90s. This is just upscaled poop. Still poopy, but now sharper. 🤷♂️
The AI upscaling does look bad, but that show was done as quickly and cheaply as possible, there’re going to be a lot of times that they’re off-model by a little or a lot. Sometimes they’re even the wrong colors a few frames. Humans make mistakes too.
Luigi looks stoned out of his mind.
Mama Luigi?
Looks like a knockoff you’d see in the absolute worst knockoff store ever.
