as you can see , there's no big different or changes on the backgrounds or the other 3D renders the most mentioned change is hector's model as you can see here :

as you can see , leon doesn't have that zombie's eye now
now i'm done i hope that we'll see konami's work on this
apologize for not using that "insert image thingy" or else i'll be killed the shots are pretty big !

I'd be happy with a PS3 release for those, like the Shadow of the Colossus/Ico collection, upscaled in HD. I'd happily pay 30/40 for it
-
I'd love to see both get ported to PS3/360. Though if they did that, it'd be nice if they made the environments a little more... you know... INTERESTING...
God knows Curse of Darkness is one of my favorite games in the series but GEEZUS...
-
Gonna move this to CV General Discussion, as there a few people interested in this who do not frequent Fan Stuff.
-
I'm not sure if I like what I see. Without increasing the polygon count I personally think an HD remix of both these titles will hurt them more then if left as is.
-
Looks good, reminds me of those HD upscale for Wii titles (also look gorgeous). I think if they do an HD release for LoI and CoD they should definitely consider some high-res textures too. I don't think everything needs a new coat of paint (Leon looked fine for instance) but it would definitely enhance the game.
-
some new textures, a higher resolution, since the originals ran at meh. ive played both on my PC though using... questionable means, but I used it a bench mark since CoD (not call of duty) is resource intense on a pc
enable max anti-aliasing, it should make a huge difference btw
and dont forget, those are TV pixels, they old CRT tv's basicly blurred everything a bit, so all those jaggies were less noticable

GEEZUS...
Anyone besides me instinctively hear Zandig's voice saying that?

Yeah and that's why i upgraded my PC to run the game with all these settings i can't say its the best , every castlevania has its taste for me and i really enjoyed playing CoD & LoI on this quality as i always wished to see this remastered in HD for PS3 or Xbox360 with trophy / achievement support but i guess it will never happen since they're working on LoS 2 i guess it will be the last castlevania for the current console generation except if they made it soon , i mean very soon!
and what made me more excited is when i hooked my PC to my 49 inch TV using the highest settings available on the emulator , you could've seen anything better !
-
I wonder how Castlevania 64 & Legacy of Darkness would look in upscaled/HD? *winkwinknudgenudge*

That's generally all HD remixes are these days, just increase the texture quality and totally ignore the 3D models. Like Resident Evil Code Veronica HD. There's nothing HD about it. It's just better textures and some shaders and pretending its HD.
The textures themselves are nice, though the models need updated for them to actually work really well.

Then would that really be called HD if it is not? ???

It's HD in resolution, just not a remake. There are some good ones, MGS HD is a BLAST
-
There's a lot more to a HD re-release than just upscaling the graphics. *cough* Silent Hill HD Collection *cough* I'd love a good HD re-release of LoI and CoD, but I'm pretty skeptical that Konami would put in the resources necessary to make the games what they should be. Silent Hill 2 & 3 are much better sellers than LoI and CoD, but Konami couldn't be arsed to give Hijinx the resources they needed to do a decent port. Why would Konami care about a couple games that got a lukewarm critical reception and didn't sell well the first time around?
-
At least LOI HD removes that stupid freaky thing they did with Leon's eye in the sub menu.
-
the problem with LoI and CoD for not being awesome in HD its their 3D designs for example look at the wall in this shot : http://www.imageups.com/img/uploads/big/d54965027d.jpg (http://www.imageups.com/img/uploads/big/d54965027d.jpg)
its like it came from dreamcast or N64 ! and thats going to be a reason why remastering this is a pain ! they need to re-design the 3D elements from the start or re-render this with a better resolution but that won't make a big different if they designed it in a good way from the beginning you'll see a huge different like what i saw when i played FFX HD on this

if they only took their designs more serious ...

LoI always in my heart, no matter where and when it is...
