Age of Empires Opening FMV
Remastered in 1080p using ESRGAN [AI Machine Learning]
ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing
low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.
I took the original video file from the Age of Empires: Gold Edition PC disk, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution.
Age of Empires uses the Indeo Video Interactive 4 codec for its FMVs, which (seems to) have
a low color depth and ordered dithering. As a result, the upscaled footage looks a bit foggy and grainy.
Original resolution: 320x240
ESRGAN Upscale: 1280x960 → 1440x1080

Widescreen hack by nemesis2000 & Debug Menu
-Some cutscenes have timing issues at 60fps, therefore I recorded them in their original framerate.
-There are a few scenes where the widescreen hack reveals character animations or parts of the scenario that you’re not supposed to see, so I recorded them in their original aspect ratio.
Check out the previous 60fps gameplay video that I made to see how much has PCSX2 improved over the years: https://youtu.be/kmt1iweCpfE

Cyberpunk 2077 - Teaser Trailer (2013)
Remastered in 4K using ESRGAN [AI Machine Learning] [IMPRESSIVE RESULTS]
ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.
I took the original uncompressed trailer that CD Projekt released back in 2013, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 model to upscale the video 2 times its original resolution.
While the software is perfectly capable of upscaling 1080p images to 8K [7680x3200], the current models werent trained for such high resolutions.
Once the image reaches a certain amount of pixels, the AI cant improve the details any further.
Original resolution: 1920x800
ESRGAN Upscale: 3840x1600
