Stormy Grey
How horrible is the background upscaling? Some crazy people like 2xSai and eagle filters on sprite based games, so I need someone with some taste.
Some of them look alright, and had 2D assets redone tastefully to maintain the illusion. Others are a gigantic, smeary mess. And some proved too complicated to rescale so they rebuilt the room with 3D objects instead of being fully prerendered.
Visually, it is an inconsistent mess. Gameplay wise, this is still one of the more important pieces of survival horror history. If you don't want to deal with the problematic visuals, I guess you could still pick up the Gamecube/Wii version and run it through dolphin. It'd just be pixelated backgrounds instead of smeared ones at that point, though.
