What's better? CRT filter or AI upscale?
What's better? Getting a blowjob or stepping into a rusty nail?
>>12690060Bottom looks better
>>12690074How's the weather in Mumbai, Radj?
>>12690060Usually I'd say CRT filter for games that use 2D assets but AI upscaling has got pretty good now.
>>12690060use what you think looks good, if I tell you something looks like diarrhea it wont matter.
>>12690078Damn, dude. Really nailed that 90s cg art vibe
>>12690060bottom looks nicer
>>12690060Don't use CRT filters when you increase the internal resolution of games, otherwise it won't work as intended. Either you're doing it wrong by mistake or doing it wrong on purpose to make a point for AI sloppa, if that's the case then fuck you.
>>12690172How's mine?
I AI upscale. I see the flaws but still think it generally looks better than 224p or a bunch of lines.
>>12690060AI upscale. I'm too old to get a headache looking at a blurry screen for hours at a time
>>12690182What's that? CRT Royale? Looks like shit.
>>12690060Both off.
>>12690091It's literally early 90's CGI, you dumb cunt.
They both look like ass, just play it without a filter.
Ah yes, the thread specifically designed to make me seethe.
>>12690169yeah crt filter and 1x internal resolution for gen5 and before, upscaling for gen 6
>>12690235The majority of that image was not made in the 90s, moron.
>>12690280>majorityOkay retard.
>>12690060>Up isn't properly scaled within the blanklinesSomeone take a pic from an actual CRT Please.
>>12690289Yes, dumbass.
>>12690297No, dickshit.
>>12690298AI upscaling did not exist in the 90s, pea brain.
>>12690308
>>12690342>anywayAnyway what?
>>12690351...Anyway, I don't care. I played it in the 90s, but I use AI upscales now.It actually is 2026 and we have these ways to mod retro games.
>>12690353Yeah, and that ai upscale looked good and didn't butcher the quality of the art I was impressed to see come out of it. I'm normally a crt shader kind of guy, but I'd give that mod a whirl.
>>12690060I was going to say something about how filtered is better because mystery leaves more room for imagination, and that AI still gets things a lot of things wrong, but I just realized that when an AI interprets an image incorrectly it's because that's what it imagined it to be.
when>LOOKIN GOODbecomes>L0DKlW CDDD
>>12690465AI is doing the imagining for you
>>12690078Shame seamless hd came out too soon and looks like shit
>>12690182Not enough of a effect, too sharp, try tweaking settings for a composite look, it goes well with pre-rendered backgrounds. Mask is kinda iffy too.
>>12690060as I said before, ps1 games, if emulated, have to be emulated at 2x the resolution, if you go beyond that, things will look off. It seems to be that all devs developed ps1 games at double the resolution. Combine 2x res with some CRT type shader and you are golden.
>>12690512This is terrible advice.
>>12690514no, you are just retarded, 2x res is the Zenith of ps1 games, if you have a 4k tv and you put the game at 6x res or whatever level is 4K, the game will look boring because there is no detail there since the game wasnt created with that resolution in mind and everything is originally too low res to compensate. If you say ps2 games, then you can put them at 1080p (most ps2 games look their best at 1080p) and some do look way better rendered at 4K res, like Silent Hill 2.
>>12690512>>12690519You're confusing your own preference for developer intention. No, not ALL devs developed games at double the resolution, that's retarded in the first place, given there are actual PS1 games that ran at 448i so it was definitely a choice. Also running at twice the resolution will trigger interlacing in shader settings, unless you specifically set them to render at progressive which in that case you're even taking more of a shit on authenticity. You're no better than AI sloppa modders. You sound like a zoomer. Fuck you.
>>12690060high definition sharpness is no longer ps1 and games do look off, too pointy, too stretched, 2X resolution is where you can see text clearly like the devs had them in mind and highly likely, the resolution in which they developed all those games in their computers, to then downgrade the res to fit the ps1's limited capabilities.AI upscale is not native rendering, AI is what a program thinks it could be, making it fake and not true to the art and characters. Native rendering is just matematically streching what is there and even then higher resolutions can make the games not look as intended. Don't listen to the sharpness retard saying 8x looks good, pfff
>>12690520I have tried 2x and other res on many ps1 games, double the resolution is what they used when developing. A player's choice is not what the devs intended, like people stretching 4:3 to 16:9 without applying a hack, if so, then why ask for opinions and advice if its a preference what you think the guy seeks? See your stupidity?
>>12690527>>12690535>double the resolution is what they used when developing
Yeah I just upscale my 240p video feed from my real PS1 and it looks great. Not sure why anyone is talking about raising the internal resolution and calling it authentic......
So far reading this thread, it looks like people will do anything except play the games the way they were shipped, and then think of themselves as the real gatekeepers of retro video games. Really seems that after 2020 everyone turned into a fucking drone broken by mass psychosis
It's not authentic. It's superior.
>>12690551It's impossible unless you have a time machine. they were intended to be played 30 years ago
>>12690614Stop gaslighting. Thread hidden.
>>12690618they intended me to upscale but they couldnt do it on oem due to technical limitations
>>12690551I’m one of the AI upscale guys here. I played it multiple times on CRT /PSX before the towers even fell. I genuinely prefer the wonky AI upscales in 4k on an LCD. I’ll do whatever the fuck I want with my escapism toys, thank you.
>>12690620Why don't you play remakes since you hate retro games so much
>>12690169is rendering it at a higher resolution and then downsampling it back to 1x resolution, and then applying a CRT filter, still OK in your opinion?
All The Pics Look Like Shit ITT
>>12690060Both look like shit because the game itself has always and will always look like shit
>>12690932not wrong desu, outside of battles the game is pretty ugly although it does have some really nice backgrounds on occasion
>>12690060So it's a troll thread
>>12690940Yeah. To be fair there's some stuff that looks cool like some of the pre rendered backgrounds but alot of the character models are absolutely hideous. Like some kind of piblic access no budget animestyle cyberpunk puppet show
>>12690172>>12690182That's how a real crt lookStop being a larping retard
CRT shaders are based unless you are the brownest pajeet or the blackest porch monkey.
best visuals for ff7 are when you play on a PSPbest experience is on ps1/crt though
>>12691593Great game
>>12691593>t. brown copebrowns cope with crt shaders, while whites use real crt tvs
>>12691739It’s easier to get or have a CRT in a favela than in Maine.
>>12690078Magic floating carpet
>>12691802You don't understand ethereal 90s cg art vibe, zoom zoom.
>>12691593Looks like dog shit. Also using CRT filters for 3d is pure mental illness.
>>12690060I get the feeling a CRT filter could be implemented better than what's pictured here.
>>12691540Looks like complete and utter shit
>>12692102They have been. The best CRT filters require 4K HDR OLED displays, and they actually look really good.
>>12691872>Looks like dog-aaack
>>12690169Did I do it wrong here, if so please tell me what I have done wrong
