19#fps #gaming #projectigi #projectigi1 #retrogaming #fpsgaming #upscaled
I used dgVoodoo2 to push the resolution up to 4k 3840x2160 with a ton of post processing like 8x antialiasing that the game never had. The result is an improved and way less jaggy game and playthrough. As an aside, wow this game is tough given the lack of only-checkpoints saves. It took me 14 days on-and-off to finish the final level.
Just for context, Project I.G.I. came out in 2001 and back then it was pushing GPUs to the utter limits. I remember it playing pretty sluggishly and you really had to choose between some higher resolutions and some framerates. Some of it is repetitive and the lack of save game options can be frustrating, but it does really push you to get through without being lazy. The gunplay is rewarding for games of that era and the constant storyline, and the attempt to build larger realistic no-horizon landscapes, however blocky or oddly aliased as they were, set this game apart. The general spy vibes really made this a fun one to play.

I also used cropping and Topaz Video AI from @topazlabs to upscale the 320x168 pre-rendered cinematics intro and outro to 4k 2160p and the result is much better. Here's a screencap to get an idea of how much better it got. https://youtu.be/j08LbNn-HGQ
So this has the whole shebang, with ai upscaled cutscenes and all in-game cutscenes and gameplay at 4k2160p 60 fps. Enjoy!
