Comanche: Maximum Overkill

Would love to see these in SVGA.

They don't even need to be textured. If they had clean hi-res polygons like those in Su-27 Flanker, Hornet 3.0, or A-10 Cuba!, then I would be a happy camper.

ah yes, good choices - thats what i think of as high resolution (not 'remasters' like was talked about in Remastering games, is it really worth it?)

in fact lots of 3d games might benefit from some svga magic, especially those where the 'thing' being looked at is drawn (not scaled sprites) and hence the pixel count matters more

there's a limit, or rather a decreasing return in quality from having ever more pixels, but at this level and for these kinds of games it could work well

i cant think of many more from that period that would really benefit from it though (i mean there are plenty of games that could look better but wouldn't really be any better)

I'd like to see the original Tomb Raider games with Square Enix / Crystal Dynamics "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" graphics. Just give me the classic tomb raiding game style with the modern graphics. Cut out with the survival stupid fights/shooting.

Plus modern Lara is a beautiful woman.

Driller, please?

Very much this!

I hoped that Night Dive would also do a remake of Terra Nova after they did System Shock.. so far nothing, sadly.

No! NIet! Nein!

Comanche: The sense of depth at low resolutions is awesome! It doesn't need more resolution!
NFS 1 / NFS SE: Maybe that's nostalgia for me. The graphics were astounding for that era, I think that it deserves to be preserved as-is.

Also, keep in mind that both games would lose their charm if upgraded. Comanche would lose that unique graphics; NFS wouldn't look as advanced as it was. In the end, both games would be simply another helicopter game and another racing game. Nothing unique about them.

Every single NFS game starting with NFS II can be played on a modern PC at high resolution now, with the exception of NFS 1 SE.... the console ports of it can be emulated at high res but they have less content, so its less than perfect.... the PC version can only be played at 480p emulated in dosbox... it needs like a source port or something, to work on modern windows and linux and support high resolutions... I dont know why you are against that, no one is taking the old version away from you and forcing you to install the high res update, you can always play the original if you like it as is

I tend toward that feeling about just about everything TBH, even back in the noughts when you'd get 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1600x1200 options, things looked bad at 640, but it was there so low end could play at all. Then 800 and 1024 were both looking pretty good, and you'd maybe prefer 1024... but 1600x1200... nah, even at solid framerates it just tended to make the unrealism more unreal rather than make the realistic bit more realistic, a flaw amplifier, not a jewel polisher.

TN:SFC likely has to be rigorously reverse engineered before something like this could even happen. I don't think any actual source code for the game exists as far as I know Night Dive only found the source code for Macintosh port of System Shock.
