Fantastic work. If this works out good you just might've made me double dip.
Both as stills and in a gif!

The upgrade is pretty obvious, just compare to this:

I kind of assumed it would be fixable but I never thought it would happen so fast. Excellent job, Durante!
Now that there's an option I'd agree with you, but he was using past tense.

Amazing work, thank you so much!
I would go even more obvious so it is easier to make the distinction.
Go 1024*720 upscaled to 1440p
native 1440p
Then it will be obvious to spot the difference.
Yup. That's a huge difference.

I tossed $5 your way. Mainly to encourage and show appreciate for your work.
I donated $10. Thank you!

Only if they really want to pay the Microsoft fee.
I doubt it. I'm pretty sure it was just incompetence.
See guys! GFWL was a good thing after all!
You're missing out on one of this generations' finest RPG's though.

ms to the rescue lol
now that its been deemed playable i do want to pick this up, but i sure as hell am not giving FROM anywhere near full price for this game
and i dont know if FROM will participate in steam sales for a while, so i guess i'll wait until retail slowly brings the dvd price down
good job again durante
I'm flabbergasted (in a positive way) that two or three people donated before I even put up a download. Thanks a lot, you are awesome.
And even if they did, I believe that trying to prevent this would be more effort than they'd care to put into it.
I really don't think they did that, you're a bit too paranoid.

Made a donation too. The thing may not be perfect yet but it's already a huge improvement and I appreciate the effort.
Another proof that PC gaming is fantastic. Or its community. Or both.

pretty significant difference there. can't wait for more shots.
Both, definitely both.

i played half of the game at my friends house on PS3, i would buy three copies in a heartbeat if it was a decent port. not gonna bother now.
This made me smile. Demon's Souls fuck yeah!
If they wanted to do something like that, they could do it much more cleanly, easily.Corto said:
Seems less blurry/a bit sharper.

A PR guy showing the game basically said that, I believe, in an interview but it was almost certainly bullshit.

Someone should try to force MSAA (not FXAA, does not need more blur) on the top instead of the downscale we are seeing in the OP.
Durante's fix shots are clearly an improvement, but yeah, there's definitely something else going on. Very understandable if that something else (looks like some edge softening action? I'm not caught up on all this fake AA stuff) is a pain/too tough to get rid of, though.
You're assuming that I don't play a ton of games on my PC and that I'm not bothered by low resolutions or horrible framerates! They do bug me, for sure. Initially. There's a period where I'm almost distracted by how much I want more, where I wish the game would just be running on my beast of a PC at 60fps and drenched in AA. But if there is no choice, I get over it quickly enough. I won't miss out on masterpieces due to having to blow up, say, a 720p Platinum game to my monitor's resolution. The fact that a great game is on a console is ultimately a flaw, but not one that has, on its own, ruined a game for me. And it should be obvious that if someone would ignore a game due to its resolution, they weren't all that interested in it in the first place.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Looking forward to some more direct comparisons to point out more clearly.
Respect, Durante. Hobbyists doing what salary-men seemingly can't should often be far more of a wake up call to the industry than it ever really is. Congrats.

Man you're really awesome. Will try this out tomorrow.
Might be able to force MSAA and SS in Nvidia Inspector with Dirt profiles, same engine.
That is probably what is causing some of the blurry textures in those shots, maybe a mix of motion blur and FXAA.
No. Nothing looks worse at a higher resolution.
Added one more FAQ entry to OP:

Also:
The textures will never look worse. They may not look much better though.
Well, I know at least one article from Gamescom claimed that's why FROM said they locked it, so I'm just going by that. I forgot about the limited patches with GFWL, though, so I think we're probably safe. Thanks, Durante, Namco owes you some compensation if this leads to more sales.
