But there's a whole field of study around the concept of perceptual super resolution, and competing AI implementations for how to upscale images with the best results. Choose resolution & download this wallpaper. OK, that name is a mouthful, and I'm not about to pretend I fully understand how it works. PS1 Hagrid, beauty, harrypotter, hp, ps1hagrid, HD phone wallpaper. But what if ~the magic of AI~ could analyze the image and more intelligently resize it? That's what ESRGAN, or Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks, are all about. PS1 Hagrid is an image of the character Hagrid from the Harry Potter video game, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for the PlayStation 1.

The backgrounds can be blurry or oversharpened-just like if you opened a jpeg in Photoshop and tried to blow it up to four times the original size. So they tried to repurpose the engine of their Croc. Square simply upscaled the low-res files from the original games to 1080p and called it a day. wanted the games released before the respective movie came out, the developers of the PS1 versions (Argonaut Software, who also developed the SNES SuperFX chip and games like Star Fox) had a relatively low budget and strict deadline to work with. But the art files on those discs were naturally low resolution, and sloppy archival meant that when Square Enix finally ported games like Final Fantasy 8 and 9 to PC in "HD" form, it didn't have the original art files to use for modern high-res displays. Many of them, from series like Final Fantasy, are still stunning today: Detailed, stylized, beautiful works of art you could walk through as you went on an adventure.

A little background: When 3D was in its infancy, PlayStation game developers compensated for the hardware's shortcomings by pairing 3D character models with pre-rendered 2D backgrounds.
