Reviving GTA IV with AI: Screenshot Upscales
My first ever experiment and playing around with upscaling old PC/Xbox/Playstation Grand Theft Auto IV screenshots using AI to make them approach the quality of Grand Theft Auto VI.
It's a simple upload with the creativity slider set to one! Wait till the end of an animation of Kate Mcreary.
There is still a long way to go and some really odd mistakes that I left in for entertainment value.

    I always like to think that The Simpsons was an upgraded version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade game, as they are VEERRRYYY similar.

      Check out the end of the video and the animated Kate McReary tells you which I think might be the best part of the upscale! Just for ease though i used imagineArt for the stills and Hedra for Kate. Render times were so fast, like maybe 10 seconds each if that

    How was it hidden? You could select it from the title screen. What I’d love to know however, is level 7 the dungeon. One of life’s greatest mysteries before you fight the two golden knights: who are the two bronze statues that never come to life? They look badass but there is literally no mention of them. The ending mentions every character you come across but not the two bronze statues.

    • @TheRetroRiddler
      @TheRetroRiddler 10 місяців тому

      Will admit it is a stretch to say hidden. Although at the same time I just never thought to try that option 😂. I was a child at the time though I suppose. I wonder if they were supposed to come to life but then they forgot to make that happen. Or didn’t have time maybe 🤔

    I always got confused between this and Sonic 3, I believe they were originally intended to be one game but got split into two.

  • @TheRetroRiddler

    I find it particularly interesting that you get to play as two characters at the same time. It reminds me in a weird way of controlling the infantry in North & South on the Amiga :D

    I had nightmares of the disembodied head monster for years after watching my cousins play this when I was a kid. Even today the monster designs are grotesque and terrifying. Back when vivid imagination had to do what cutting edge graphics couldn't, this game was legitimately terrifying to me.
