downpatch for those who dont like the AI upscaling

[Luna ~]

Right click the game on steam tab - properties - beta - preview - sends you to the last build 5.8 years ago.

Just delete the Replacement folder that's in the games folder.

Deleting the Replacements folder does NOT fully fix the problem.

I've launched the game multiple times, with and without the folder, and while the game assets return, the AI-Upscaling is embedded into the animated cutscenes and look terrible. The most reliable way to retain the original look of the game is to down-patch as OP did.

Damn that sucks.

They could have an option in the Beta build for Old Cutscenes/New Cutscenes.

But that would be too convenient, and players are too complacent in terms of allowing negative changes. Like how everyone laughed at overpriced DLC Skins when it was new, but now that seems simple in comparison.

it should only be like at most a day or two but someone will probably make a mod to convert the old movies into same file type as the new ones if people don't want to downpatch. But for now downpatching via beta tab is just best bet.
I prefer the AI upscaled textures (i have not watched the movies) and new font, but the thing about PC gaming is people should be able to enjoy it the way they want that's why we have the ability to make modifications and do stuff like down patch (Though most of the time it has to be done through steam console) as nice as it would to have new/old options I don't really see NIS touching this after today (but we never know)

I hope devs will start adding toggles to their upscaled textures, it's a bit silly to have no choice when it's not objectively better and people have to resort to modding to downgrade their textures/cutscenes

At least it seems like an easy fix for the textures in this case

Also if someone converts the old movies to new files they can upload them on moddb or gamebanana or nexus for others if they wish so other people can just file replace.
gl all gamers. But there you can now get old everything and keep QoL
