Mechcommander 2 Intro 1080p - AI Upscale

I used Gigapixel AI to upscale the original intro which was 320x180 size. This was upscaled to 1920x1080. I also did some visual edits with Vegas Pro 14 & Paint.net to enhance text that was unreadable do to gigapixel not upscaling the text properly. I stayed very faithful to the original galactic map cross referencing the names of planets with the original BattleTech galactic map to get the names in there. I also recreated said galactic map in one of the scenes as well.

I know this is something completely different to what I usually will upload, but I saw no one had upscaled the original Mechcommander 2 intro. You can ignore this video if this doesn't interest you. I only made this mainly because I wanted to make it and I did grow up with the game when this game came out originally.

Thanks

This is what modern Mechwarrior games need. It's not even cheesy, it's just cool old school live action! 😊

I would love to see the opening cutscene from the original game upscaled. Probably my favourite intro cutscene from any game.
If you decide to try it, ua-cam.com/video/HcCxK5jq65I/v-deo.html seems to be the best quality upload of it on UA-cam. The description mentions it's the original source file before it was compressed further to fit on the disk.

You could do it yourself. All you gotta do is download Gigapixel AI (it has a 30 day trial). Then you'll need a free program that converts the video frames into single images. And you'll need video editing software like Vegas Pro or Adobe After Effects to compile all those video image frames (after you upscale the images in Gigapixel AI) with the original audio and render it into a video.

Someone already did, looks decent aside from the odd 60 fps increase.

I thought the MechCommander 1 intro was way better

[@Halomainaic1234]

Yeah I could see what you mean, but I grew up with this game so I'm biased. lol

Dah-vian vs Da-vion. This always bothered me.

[@Halomainaic1234]

It's probably a preference for the actor to say.
