I'm sorry guys, but this looks absolutely awful. I cannot believe you are promoting this and I am thoroughly disgusted by this. I know Oliver has always been "Mr. GenAI" but this is just so disappointing.
I'll also add: Rich and Oliver saying that these look "closer to the original artistic vision" just rubs me the wrong way. This is shameful coverage.
It is just really cool. I'm that line between Millennial and Gen-Z (1997), and I have to say I absolutely love retro gaming. I grew up with the GBA, Playstation 2 and beyond, but I spent a good amount of time going back to Playstation 1, N64, and SNES thanks to the emergence of "retro handhelds" in the last 5 years. While not the original experience, they have really allowed me to go through and full enjoy some fantastic games like Final Fantasy VI, Perfect Dark, Dino Crisis, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and more. I would love to own some original hardware, or something capable of FPGA along with a CRT, but maybe someday!
I think there is a timeless appeal to retro games and I think the high availability of them nowadays is partially responsible for the increased popularity of retro games among my generation and younger. BBC did a fun article on it: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgl8nj8nvzo

Re: Skyrim on Switch 2 Gets Input Lag Patch - But It's Problematic
I'm frankly astonished that this game with an unlocked frame rate does not run that close to 60 FPS, that is unbelievable.
I think there is much more work to be done, but we'll see how much actually gets done...
