EA released a remastered C&C some time ago. One of the developers involved in that described the problems they had with the video quality, the originals where lost, the best they could do was extract videos from the PlayStation port and try different AI up scaling algorithms. The result isn't pretty.
- alpaca128 5y agoThe best they could do is recreate and rerender the videos, but that's probably too costly for EA's typical remaster project.
- formerly_proven 5y agoA lot of the videos in C&C were live action
- josefx 5y agoThat was probably well out of scope of what they originally planned for as C&C had quite a lot of pre and post mission videos.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoOut of scope, sure, but I agree that that option prevents "extract old video from the production version and try to upscale it automatically" from qualifying as "the best they could do".
- ChoGGi 5y ago"Best they could do" on the budget from EA.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoSure, that's fair.
- ipsi 5y agoWhich would almost certainly have required different actors, given the 25 years since the original release, and I imagine that would have cause a huge uproar in addition to being fairly expensive.
