Retro games with Filters

[Anonymous No.4141241]

What's your personal opinion on them? I noticed many collections had them appiled or an option.

Capcom arcade classics had it slighty appiled and Hyper street fighter 2 for ps2. a little for Genesis collection on ps2.

An option for PS3 Ultimate collection.

Keep in mind people are playing with no crt scan lines or wrong sound input, lag input, etc.

They're already are modifications to the true gameplay.

It depends on the filter, it depends on the game, and it depends on your screen. This isn't really a universal "good or bad" question there's a lot of things you have to consider.

I use them, but I take special care to make sure they suit what I'm playing, and even then I'm mostly using tv mode filters.

Many ps2 collections or modified games retro had bilinear filters. even Wii u vc has it on nes games with a dark filter screen.

Later ones have that hq1x or whatever it's called.

It can make a game lose pixel blocks and cartoony if you like that. There's multiple kinds though.

Some filters are alright but I'm not really into those hqx ones

[Anonymous No.4141293]

I think most people need to keep in mind when it comes to filters and the like is your personal preference will always be different than someone else's. Most people playing retro games are doing so for the first time on emulators with screen resolutions that far exceed 240p so you're already messing with the image upscaling it to full screen. At that point whatever modification you want to make from there is just icing the cake. I personally find pic related disgusting and flat compared to the original, but there will be someone else who likes how "clean" it is on modern monitors/tvs.

I will say though it's pointless to have graphics discussions unless you're talking original hardware and original means to view.

Right, but out of all of those, blobbing the pixels together with a melty filter is the most conspicuous and ugly.

[Anonymous No.4141351]

>>4141341
Not really.

People today's just don't want pixel blocks and less so jaggies on ps1 games.

[Anonymous No.4141356]

[Anonymous No.4141359]

>>4141351
I don't like jaggies either, but this
>>4141241
>>4141339
is not an improvement in my eyes. Some of the assets look nice, but the filter makes a mess out of faces and other finer details, as well as turning previously smooth lines bumpy and distorted. Even the text looks ugly.

[Anonymous No.4141365]

why are speaking on behalf of all people? those filters are ugly as fuck and I emulate every single thing I play.
good filters/shaders:
every blargg shader
crt-easymode
dotmask
phosphor

Most agree. Not with you though.

You're already playing them on emus, ew lags and no crt lines tsk tsk.


Most companies don't care either.

>most agree
again, why are you talking on behalf of all people you fucking autist?
my point is not that ALL filters are bad (hence why I posted a bunch of em) I'm saying the filters you used in
>>4141339
>>4141241
are ugly as shit

bilinear filtering is perfectly fine as well

and I don't get this argument
>ou're already playing them on emus, ew lags and no crt lines tsk tsk.
so? that's why it's ok for them to look like complete turds? you're a retard

Mitsuru legit looks fatter in the right pic.

>>4141241
Shaders like CRT Royale and Lottes look amazing on high resolution, high DPI displays. But at anything lower than 4k they just look like screen doors.

Since I only have 1080p displays currently I'm fine with just using Pixellate (for muh 4:3) and filters that blend dithering.

DKC looks ungodly shit even unfiltered.

It depends on the game and the filter mainly.
I'm enjoying Tales of Phantasia in Mednafen and scale2x, to be quite honest.
I absolutely hate it in GBA Games, but for Phantasia it doesn't feel bad at all.

I wouldn't mind if I was in the tiny minority. I don't give a fuck how other people play their games because it doesn't affect my gaming in any way. I'm just asking you, why do you feel like you can talk on behalf of all people?

it'd actually make a nice base to retouch by hand if you were going to make the sprites "HD" or something though, at least for games with a softer, more rounded look to them

so, I tried brz method filters yesterday on retroarch on my phone, it totally killed the cpu with power saving off (cpu speed unlocked) just how processor intensive is brz?

sal and hqx look suprisingly nice with high dpi but I still think it looks cringe personally, it needs at least times 3 to start looking like someone drew what you're seeing rather than mess

Was playing Earthbound a while ago and tried out some of the filters. They all made the character's lips and eyes look weird/unsettling. I don't mind the pixels, it would be nice to get them in a higher resolution but unless you can directly just do that I prefer no filters.
