Original art assets

Demeaner

I am guessing that the original assets for bg2 were available?

I know bg1's were lost, but after seeing how you guys must be using them for the cinematic camera work in the new trailer, that loss is even more bitter.

I can only imagine how the first would have turned out with original assets ...

We don't have the original art assets, unfortunately. What we do have is the original renders. That means the BG2EE areas are much higher fidelity, without any of the dithering and quality loss the BG2 areas had. That said, they are the same size, etc. -- they aren't "HD", but they do look much better.

To be clear, the flyovers were of the new areas, rather than the existing areas.

So it was the original renders that went missing on bg1 gotcha.

Loved the flyover effect. Can't even tell you why it made me so giddy.
