Download a half resolution image here... This is my attempt to take a low resolution video game screenshot (320x240) and turn it into something much more detailed (8000x6000). The arcade game Killer Instinct was displayed at an amazingly low resolution of 320x240 which was a common resolution of the time. Played on today’s TVs, the game looks like a blurry mess. Rare made the game using mostly computer generated imagery which at the time looked amazing. By today’s standards, not quite so much. By using Photoshop I was able to remake a screenshot from the game the way my brain wanted to remember it. I chose Sabrewulf because I thought it would be a good challenge to work with something that has lots of hair. I was planning on the 2nd character being Fulgore, but settled for Spinal since I couldn’t find a Fulgore sprite. I think it turned out better with these two as it matches the theme better to have a skeleton instead of a robot in a setting like this. The songs in this video are ’Tooth & Claw’ and ’Ya Ha Haa’ from the Killer Instinct Soundtrack called “Killer Cuts“. Each frame in this video represents 20 seconds of work. The image spans across 3 PSD files with 597 layers at a resolution of 8000x6000 pixels. The project took 36 hours to complete over the course of 2 weeks. This is my first successful attempt at remastering the look of a classic game, but have plans in the future to do more projects like this for other classic games.
