ROTT, Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, Shadow Warrior, Hexen… all of them look surprisingly amazing even to this date. Well, provided you use a third-party program to – slightly – overhaul the game’s graphics. And I’m happy to report today that a Brutal version of Hexen is under the way."
Stop teasing folks and let it happen, Xbox man.
Hexen 2 was one of my favorite PC games to play back in the day! Please let this happen!
Why wouldn't they just get the original devs to make it? After ABK they now own Raven Software who made Heretic and Hexen. They already have the right team. They recently made the stellar campaign for COD: Cold War. Just let Raven and id Software collaborate like they used to.
Dont remake Hexen, remake Heretic!! Heretic was faster, more intense, better weapons. Hexen had less weapons but classes and in my opinion wasnt as good. Bring back Corvus, and re-release or remake Heretic 2!! You cant buy that game and play it anymore...
Also, remake Heavy Gear/Mechassault, Battlezone (the RTS)

That's a very interesting usage of upscaling AI, hope this mod will come out very soon !
Games look even better than those backgrounds these days but upscaled like this they hold up fairly well. While there is no need for pre-rendered areas anymore, I kinda miss them. I'm playing Onimusha Warlords and not knowing what is around every corner has some tension. Final Fantasy IX I sometimes would just stare at the backdrops.
Wow, AI upscalers are really revolutionizing HD retextures. They keep the original artwork intact; most attempts at high res retexturing end up looking awful.
I hope someone does the original Quake this way too!
Good. If only he did a brutal mod for Heretic or ROTT. Now that would be even better
