Horrible.

I noticed them doing this months ago and was deeply disappointed by it. A.I.-upscaling, especially the way OGN has used it, makes the games look like some kind of smeary, strange Freddy Krueger nightmare. It makes me literally physically ill to look at it, and I think anybody who considers this a "remaster" needs to reevaluate their standards.

The strange thing is, I'm not even sure why they're doing this. While the quality of recordings for most old games on their YouTube channel isn't great, I know higher quality versions of the recordings must exist, right? There were streams in pretty darn good quality back in the day. I know this because, for a time, I received stream recordings from Baezzi that were very nice, and they still look nice on my channel like 15 years later.

Maybe OGN has lost their recorded archive? I don't get it.

Yeah, just veto smartphones forever (internet usage only from home or library, etc) and we're good.

As for the OGN's AI upscaling project - well.. better than nothing, I guess. The old YT VOD quality is pretty bad these days.

So disappointed that they are jumping on the half cooked AI train. This might be a good approach, idk 5 years from now? 10 years? 20? Who knows, but as Video Upscaling is right now, it turns the ingame clips of starcraft into some smeary garbage. It works pretty good for when they show the players though.
Once again I am glad for having downloaded that giant OGN torrent all those years ago. It makes you wonder if they even bothered to compare the AI result to the original, imo the original vods still hold up just fine. Its the MBC vods that are a pixelated mess with audio straight from hell.

I actually don't mind it. I would rather have this than the vhs quality that GTR showed

It actually reminded me that it would be a nice pet-project to try doing the same with old bw highlight videos.

Yeah, the upscaling is not ideal, but the originals are even worse.

I read the comments first. Went to check the VODs expecting to see something outrageously bad, but it's quite decent.

Also releasing the replays won't help you much with watching them in SCR, as they won't work. You'd have to switch an old version of BW to the version used in the replay to watch it.


I don't know the extent to which that is actually true. Here is a working replay from 2001 when replays were introduced.

(I skipped through another longer replay and there were mine idle workers at the main nexus with minerals still unmined which is a clear sign of a broken/incompatible replay)

Maybe some1 with 1.08 or later install up to 1.16.1 can check the replay and see if it matches with the remastered.

I also guess there is a way to make a RepFix for remastered if the need arises.

https://repmastered.icza.net/?page=6&from=1969-01-23&to=2001-01-23


colour me surprised. I'd have expected it to be pretty broken or incompatible since there was a version changer program back in the day so people could watch replays from older versions without issues.


if you look at the minimap, it clearly shows that it is python, a map released in 2007. seems like for some reason whoever created the replay had their pc time set to 2001.

anyway from memory, anything that's 1.08 to 1.11 will definitely be fucked if it involves a zerg. other match-up's is a coin flip.

Apart from the weird accelerations that sometimes the units are making is not super bad. There are many games that aged better or worse on youtube. So there are cases that the original is still better than this AI upscale. But for example i have never seen any of the early OSLs. So could be interesting to watch some of those with a somewhat decent quality.

it feels different than BW and a bit cartoony but better than a super pixelated vid..

why is it so bright? lol

the brightness of the other rm vids on their channel is way better, there's also this weird wiggly effect on the units/buildings that the other vids don't have

OK that video looks bad compared to the other uploaded one I watched. I would definitely have prefered the raw footage.

The ones GTR just uploaded look a bit worse so it makes me think the upscaling is also dependent on the source quality of the videos.
