I'd kill for some high res updated assets of the 3D backgrounds in DKC2

The artist who made the DKC Island map screen released the original asset not too long ago, maybe he has stuff from DKC2 too.

Oh no...that sucks. I'd kill to see the original renders too, ESPECIALLY of Krem Quay. :(

The original three remade with the actual hi-res gfx would be nut-inducing.

I'd love to see the original models made on Silicon Graphics computers and see how they stack up to modern models like in Returns

actually these are all great except where the compression actually helped the instruments sound better. these dropbox versions are more updated and tweaked than the Yt versions

just use ESRGAN. this can easily be reality if someone just took the time

that’s unfortunate

>> No.5967606

Try esrgan.

Also, >>5967325 the SNES Visual Compendium book has an interview with rare about the development of DKC. Mad to think that they internally worked with 240fps 5K renders if they wanted to, but they just scaled them down in the end and cut the frames to 8 or so.
