AI textures

[Zombine3D]

A lot look horrible and show something wrong, like instead of grass and plants we get green stones. Also how come there are 100 people that worked on the remaster but only like 10 people made the OG?
In all honesty a pretty good remaster but the AI textures are bad, no way around it.

I'm not going to say your opinion is wrong it's your opinion, but so far I'm not finding a lot of big problems with the upscaled textures and most seem to fit in pretty well.

I did notice Lara's home bookshelves have 4 ft high books in them and some doors in Lara's home have skewed textures on the bottom panels.

But overall, so far, I was expecting a lot worse.

Where exactly? I didn't notice anything so far.

Textures doesn't seem AI upscaled to me, rather recreated from scratch.

There are a lot of architecture textures that are AI upscaled/generated. Look at the writing of the Gods in Greece and textures there too in general. Switch around between old and new graphics.

The stretching is due to old engine and how the game is built so that is not the issue that I am talking about. I am more talking about similar issues that were in GTA "Remastered" Trilogy. Nothing nearly as bad here but I would pay 20 bucks more if it meant that everything had a human touch.

Look again. The problem is that there is a mix between the two.

Nah, they said they're AI upscaled. Keep in mind that AI upscaling is pretty much how all remasters are done (except the Diablo 2 Remaster, which is basically a remake at that point). An exception is the Darksiders Warmastered edition, where they couldn't use AI upscaling because they had lost the original assets and needed new UVs, so they made a whole lot of new textures.

They did use AI for upscaling as it was stated by the developers, however it wasn't done unsupervised and without human artists to retouch/remaster and fix issues. I've not seen anything wrong so far at all.

That's right, and I could understand why due to some of the more obscure texture tiles of the original to understand what it was, and then the texture artist touch it with supervision.

But the issue I have is with the textures that were not touched up whatsoever and ere not even obscure in the first place.

Lara's hair pulsating is kinda creepy, not gonna lie.

This too is weird. I have no idea how that happens.

Then look again. Every singe texture made of multiple graphic tiles is horrible wrong.

Can see that here very obvious:

They threw each tile one by one into the generator instead of connectiong those which belong together first. There was absolutely no one who cheacked if creating textures was done right. If there was a supervisor, they absolutely failed at their job.

I dont care if they used AI or not, only the end result is important. They still need to fix some weird textures (that already existed in the original), but so far it looks very good

I am at the end of 3 now and a lot of textures that blend in together in the classic graphics stand out and are mismatched in the HD mode
