HD Cinematics

[AgitoM]

Own the orginal CD version of Imperium Galactica II, but newer systems have made it hard to play. Can get it to work, but the speed of some of the menu's make the game nearly unplayable.
Therefore I immediately jumped on the opportunity to buy the game on Steam. (Having failed to purchase it on the Android play store for which attempts to contact THQ Nordic customer support were unsuccesful)

One of the things that always impressed me about Imperium Galactica II is the cinematic cut scenes in the game.
Unfortunately, the cinematics still seem to have the original low resolution which looks horrible on HD computer screens. Any chance they may get upscalled to HD cinematics in the future.
Have some experience in video converting myself, and have upscaled video before, though the result it far from perfect, it's generally more watchable then a low resolution video stretched out over a way too large resolution.


THQ Nordic, consider this not so much a complaint, but a point for improvement.
I think it would be awesome to see the cinematics in a more clear resolution.

they would need the original 3D files of the videos to scale them up. That might result in better videos, but they would still lack textures and polygones.

I think the real problem is, that they cant work with the old 3D files anymore. I know that problem from work. When we try to open old video scenes that are more then 15 years old, they are usually made in programs that dont exist anymore, and mordern 3D-programs cant even read the files anymore. so it is a lot of work to reconstruct these 3D scenes and make them work and editable again. Or you try to get the old programs to work again.
In the end, it is faster to just create new Videos ;) But I dont think they can put that much afford into the game.

I have to admit that I was impressed by the quality of the videos, I expected them to be even worse.

when playing the cd version the message screen would lock when i got a message but by ejecting the cd this would unfreeze the message so i could read it then reinsert my cd until the next time - yet another bug
obviusly i don't get this bug as i now play the steam version
