So I've been playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (it's amazing) on my PC at 4k60, and god damn, for an original xbox game it looks surprisingly modern. A game I got in a humble bundle for throwaway money is basically the same as what we would get if they remastered the game for consoles. More and more I see posts about older games where people say "man I would kill for an HD remaster". Most recently in the Metal Gear Rising thread. It's a bummer to realize console players can't experience that game at 1080p 60 even. Most last gen games can run 4k60 (or even downsampled from 8k) on a very modest rig, and for way older stuff like Splinter Cell you can probably even run it on whatever laptop/pc you use for browsing if you don't have a gaming rig. I wonder if anybody does budget PC builds specifically to have a "remaster" machine?
So far this year I've played Chaos Theory, The Darkness II and MassEffect 2 at 4k60 and they still look incredible imo. Thinking about Hitman Blood Money next (I've only played Contracts, Absolution, and 2016). What old games have you been playing lately that look like modern games when you max them out on PC?
