Good news, I hope they won't do "pixel art" , I always found this way of making game totaly out of context. Back in the days, when these game were released you would play on very small screen with 256colors. That was because the hardware was very limited and because screens were pretty expensive. Playing on a 14/15' crt was pretty much the norm, and anything = or above 640*480 was already good quality. What is called pixel art is because if you launch those game on modern screen they look pixelated as the image is increasingly zoomed in.

Otherwise at the time it was not looking pixelated as much as modern pixel art does. It was looking smooth, almost like a cartoon especially on the point&clic genre.

Every classic game from that era that I launch on my modern screen looks terrible, but it still looks nice and neat on a 14'/15' crt screen. Using 2xsai filters in dosbox can partialy improve that pixalated aspect that did not exists back in the days, at least nothing as what they made a fashion of "pixel art" that is simply a waste of hardware in my opinion and in general looking pretty poor graphically and colorwise compare to what was done back in the days with only 256colors.

They could try to create nice graphics and animation instead of willing to be what it is not. I can't count the list of game that could have look great if not pixelated on purpose. And I really think this is a waste.

On the other hand if you take the exemple of the two remaster of Monkey Island the style really does not respect the original game. It went to some disney childish style, instead of poetic as it was in the original. If you look what has been done with day of the tentacle, they more or less kept the original aspect, but the minor tweaks are not perfect, and on top of that the animation is too stiff. It was some sort of compromise.

I hope they will make the right decisions for this awaited official third episode;

On the screenshot, if you watch it full picture, and look the first face on the foreground, you can better compare native to other FSR. You can observe how it alterate the overall image.

I prefer having real resolution upscale, even for a performance loss, than having performance increase for graphic quality loss. There are enough graphical setting in most game that allow you to balance your fps. And in other scenario when you have too much perf, you rather have resolution upscale for real graphic improvement (imo)

I think whatever you do to correct someone being wrong bring the opposite of what you seek if you try to use either force or persuasion.

It's hard to not make a judgement on some behaviour that are supposed to be condemned, there surely should be another approach.

Nonetheless I'm pretty impressed by Witcher 3 on steamdeck! It's looking very nice, the performance are impressive using proton and it seems quite amazing to play as well.

The atmosphere of this game is one of it's own. It's rare nowadays to have this solitude vibe in a far and distant world. Sound and music are fitting well, and I also like this kind of gameplay. I don't know why, despite they are very different kind of game, it somehow remind me of the first soul reaver or omikron: the nomad soul.

Even on windows the rockstar launcher is a total nuisance. You can't just launch the game offline righ away, it always ask for activation, then you go through process of switching online, updating rockstar launcher, verify you are not a bot by clicking on animals or whatever.Then it updates the game with hours of downlaod with my slow connection, and then it does not work, you need to restart computer, launcher updates again, then you can play...

The best option to play a rockstar game you bought,it to get a cracked version.

I find it sad that most countries and institutions who tries to sanction Putin are simply sanctionning Russian people. Their President despite this awkward "special operation" still has support from the majority. Isolating citizens for isolating their chief, not only will not work, but can be counter productive for the general opinion in Russia.

I know polish authorities has reason to be scared, but at least GOG could give a way to russian to still be connected in a good way to the outside world.

Are the performance any good? If yes what hardware do you have? There are thousands of posts on the forum of person with High End computer running very poorly.

When windows 8.1 and the microsoft store system came out, Tim Sweeney said it will kill the video game industry, and then he follows that exact pattern to try to kill video game industry with epic store, and when an opportunity arise to get out of this system he just doesn't get involved.

This should be a great addition, many games with not too demanding engine could be rendered at higher resolution than the native one. It could also be quite usefull for emulation
