After my SNK, Street Fighter, Mario, Castlevania, Contra, and Mega Man Pixel Art AI Upscale videos (You can find them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list..., I decided this time to concentrate on human factor over AI. I have gathered the work of another artist and not mine. The website I used was   / nomorepixels   to get all the comparisons. Please note that they do different approaches a bit than my other works, including adjusting the aspect ratio. All art was transformed into HD with interesting results to say the least using the latest AI technologies and trained algorithms. The art was upscaled 4 times to 8 times in resolution.

Instead of using AI plainly, it was used as a tool to reach human vision. Manual cleanup by a human was used too in several results. Photoshopping was used to correct AI mistakes in some places. Also, some changes of aspect ratio and art style were made to enhance output.

I have been checking the rapid growth of AI technologies to enhance old art. So I did my own tests using the different models of ESRGAN. And so I was able to enhance the magnificent pixel art of many favorite 2D games from the 90s 80s and early 2000s. This video covers over 70 pieces of art taken from several old PC computer games.

Let me know in the comments what other game series companies I should do a similar video for. I am considering more Capcom games, Konami Namco Square Enix Nintendo SNK and others.
