@SvennoJ I'm talking full 4k internal resolution across the board for legacy titles, which shouldn't be too hard for next gen consoles. Especially for the disparity in hardware between the Series X > 360 for emulation.

Going to kindly disagree. Games will just look better all around even with just a resolution boost. Try playing any older legacy games on modern hardware, the boost in image quality means that even though textures are the same, but you can see more detail as there is more detail per pixels on screen. I've been playing on PC's for a long time and with emulators. Games running at higher resolutions native to display always looks better. Just look at he amount of remasters this generation.

I just hate to run anything 720p on my monitor or TV's it just looks like vaseline mess. Even running my base PS4 on my monitor leaves much to be desired.

No doubt it looks better. I'm just not expecting too much from it. Some older legacy games actually look worse to me when rendered at higher resolutions, flaws stand out. Just like some older movies reveal flaws at higher resolution and improved contrast. (Even when properly remastered and restored)

PC is a different beast since the switch to fixed resolution monitors. PC monitors are generally awful at upscaling, anything not displayed at native res looks like a vaseline blur. Mid range to high end TVs are far better at displaying different resolutions (with overscan though, doesn't work with pc connected)

To each their own I guess. Seeing perfect sharp anti aliased edges with low res textures looks out of place to me. I've enjoyed plenty remasters, more so for faster loading and stable fps than the improved visual quality. ICO is one of those remasters that looks very uneven. Plays great yet the pre-rendered old backgrounds clash horribly with the foreground. SotC remake, that's a beauty, but not anything an algorithm can produce from the original. The difference between the remaster of SotC and the remake is night and day.

Anyway, I'll play The last Guardian again on ps5 without frame rate issues. Anything that already had good frame rate, I'll pass.
