Honestly, I think this is a better approach than a simple remaster that the devs would have done anyway. At least with modders, we can properly remaster the game with features we actually want, rather than just relying on an AI-upscaled texture 'mod' they would likely do themselves. I'm excited to see what the community does in the next few months.

[@justameanbeanmachine4818]

This is literally an AI Upscaled texture mod

[@OriginalBosss]

@@justameanbeanmachine4818 I'm well aware of that. Do you just enjoy pointing out the obvious, or do you have a point to make?

[@maynardburger]

I mean, that's great for PC gamers, but doesn't help console gamers much. And no, remasters are hardly relying on AI upscaled textures, that's actually what modders tend to do. smh Bit of a weird comment. Not to mention that resolution of textures has stopped being some critical aspect of visuals for quite a while now(as in, they're usually good enough, and other aspects are more important). You're still living in 2010 or something.

[@aggravatedintrovert7074]

The game is excellent as it is. The only thing it needs (other than shadowing and textures) is the ability to travel to every lantern discovered from any Lantern in the game.

[@OriginalBosss]

@@maynardburger I never said remasters rely solely on upscaling. You're missing the point I was making-developers these days often take the lazy route, upscaling textures and calling it a remaster. At least with the modding community, we can go beyond that and do much more. And no, I'm not stuck in 2010-I'm stuck in the '80s, when life was fun!!! Jokes aside, picking 2010 as the starting point for when remasters became popular isn’t fair, especially since AI upscaling is being used by developers right now You're the one projecting and seem to be stuck in that year, not me.
