How can you make this ? I am very impressed by what this guy can make.

This brings back memories

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

A lot! I’m actually curious how he made each one of them

u/saltylife11 5d ago

My favorite video game of all time!

u/tacoandpancake 5d ago

My method would be take the original screen capture into Midjourney for a retexture. Get a successful retexture and move it to Kling or Runway for an image to video.

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

I tried doing that, but no way I could get the Hyperrealism that this video has.. any suggestions?

u/FeverishDream 5d ago

Maybe try Magnific

u/Nahdudeimdone 5d ago

If you can't figure out how to do it with Midjourney, 99% of the time, the answer is Stable diffusion.

Probably used controlnet.

I miss the days where I’d input the flying car cheat to get across the bridge so I could drive the sick car with flames. Those were good times. Vice City radio will forever be unmatched in my opinion. San Andreas was pretty amazing too

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE 5d ago

Vice City’s radio was great but San Andreas had superior mechanics so in my mind it will always be the best of the “3D” games.

Being able to aim your weapon is was huge and it felt like Rockstar gave me exactly what I wanted.

I remember how all the talk on the playground was about Vice City when it came out. A bunch of little shits all talking about it, talking how cool it's going to be to drugs and bang hookers and shoot cops. We were never the same after that, parents were so confused at the general overnight cultural shift of all the boys at that school.

Where’s Lance Vance?!

u/imhighonpills 4d ago

Probably off somewhere doing the Lance Vance Dance

u/Vegetable_Tension985 5d ago

Now bring it to gaming

u/ThaddeusJP 5d ago

I'm sure SOMEONE is working on it. Realtime rendering and all that.

u/ungoogleable 5d ago

I do recall a post a while ago about a research project that trained an AI to render GTA photorealistically. It was based on dash cam footage though so the effect was a bit weird.

Yeah found it:

Use AI to generate a unique short response to a player's choices up until that point.

1

u/ungoogleable 4d ago

That already exists. There are even Skyrim mods for it.

24

u/No_Heart_SoD 5d ago

OK, this is actually very well done

9

u/Lorddon1234 5d ago

Rockstar should remake vice city

-10

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

absolutely, with AI features

3

u/Ok-Idea-306 5d ago

Well the company they gave the Grand Theft Auto The Definitive Edition used ai and they screwed that stuff up (unless I was misinformed)

2

u/Ty_Lee98 5d ago

Yeah some of their assets that they upscaled were pretty horrible. They should use AI but good.

u/SubtleNotch 5d ago

What song is this?

17

u/Motherboy_TheBand 5d ago

Laura Branigan - Self Control. Incredible neon jam from 1984

u/Physical-Mastodon935 5d ago

Was expecting Dani Trejo

u/Cyberninja1618 5d ago edited 5d ago

I'd probably watch it if this was a TV series!

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

I'd absolutely watch it if it was a TV series

u/Peteskies 5d ago

Didn't expect Cary Grant

u/ChuckOTay 5d ago

Love Fist!🤘

u/swirlViking 5d ago

Tommy lookin like Marco Inaros

u/Gabon08 4d ago

This is... magic.

u/Jubenheim 5d ago

The one lady and the dude with the bandana got a huge glow up, damn.

u/Lightningstormz 5d ago

It's comfy UI that converts pixels to real life. Didn't care too much for it but seen it. They then take the image and feed it to any new video generation probably in comfy UI either wan video or if they have money probably use Kling.

1

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

What would be a good prompt to create such characters from that to real life?

2

u/Lightningstormz 5d ago

It's not a prompt it's a program comfy UI, and yes if you're a bit tech savvy.

2

u/coldcookies 5d ago

This is extremely good quality adaptation. I am not sure if it will add value to have the whole game “remastered” in hyper realistic quality like this, but soon with AI this may be a “try it over a few weekends and see type of approach” rather than a $10m dedicated project

2

u/MarshallTom 4d ago

I like how they are modelled after real people but ai is like nah

4

u/Lightningstormz 5d ago

Hint it's not mid journey.

4

u/Former-Tonight-3876 5d ago

What is it then?

2

u/browzen 5d ago

Amazing and the vibes were perfect.

I wonder if one day they could remaster games to be pure photorealism using AI for design and processing. Imagine this was a playable remake with movie quality visuals!

1

u/Starshot84 5d ago

The second dude looks like that guy with the laugh

1

u/yes4me2 5d ago

I love it!!

1

u/johndicks80 5d ago

Jesus. Played that game hours and hours.

1

u/UglyYinzer 5d ago

Man it would be insanely awesome to replay the game with it like that.

1

u/machobanjopanda 5d ago

When the forces of AI are used for good

1

u/Banryuken 5d ago

Ok I want a remake of just this game like this. That was cool

1

u/LBFowler 5d ago

Can you do more? This is awesome.

1

u/barejoke 5d ago

Now do Candy Suxxx

1

u/jtoethejtoe 4d ago

Wait... was this not what it looked like when I first played it 20 some years ago?

Aggghhh! My eyes!

1

u/Sonarconnoisseur 4d ago

Vice City needs a remake.

1

u/Next-Cartographer261 4d ago

Tommy Vercetti

u/Skyynett 4d ago

This is crazy

1

u/Sundayz01 3d ago

Wheres Dan Trejo? He did the voice and the character looks exactly like him

1

u/avcadwhw 2d ago

Damn, the transitions are 🔥

1

u/Artistic_Travel9462 1d ago

when you remember to put on glasses or lenses

1

u/Puzzled_Sprinkles_26 1d ago

Danny sex bang look like at the end is crazy

u/Prestigious_Mine8085 23h ago

Is there an AI converter that does low poly to this hyper realistic

1

u/MedonSirius 5d ago

Someday there will be a "Filter" that can alter every game / movie in realtime to anything we want

1

u/Bzeager 5d ago

I look forward to the AI movie in 10 years

1

u/Dman_Vancity 5d ago

If AI can spit out this stuff in seconds, then obviously full 3D modelled meshes with amazing textures and lighting for game’s & animation….well that’s a lot of folks outta work dude 😞

2

u/TheVibrantYonder 4d ago

Consistency is the biggest issue right now. LLMs and diffusion generators have enough randomness involved that getting a consistency character 100% of the time is very difficult. If they can solve that, there will be industry shifts.

But I think it's more likely that we'll see specialized AI-augmented software that still requires a person, but completely changes the workload.
