Obisdian’s Fallout: New Vegas may be the most effective of the Bethesda-era Fallout games, however it nonetheless received dragged by the ugly hedge backwards a dozen instances over. There’s no greater decision, sharpened texture pack or post-process filter on this planet that may save this pudding-faced monstrosity from its blobby brown destiny.
Time for excessive measures. E.g. getting a neural web to re-texture your complete game with feverish new auto-generated property, devised by insane software program after it was fed a broad choice of real-world work. I’ve by no means wished to play a latter-day Fallout game greater than this.
DeepStyle Retexture is the work of modder “Jam2go”, (which I noticed on PCG) utilizing DeepStyle, an open supply fork of Google’s DeepDream venture. Alice O was wigging out to a DeepDreamised Doom simply the opposite week, however an already ace-looking game being reworked right into a weirdo-looking game is a basically completely different prospect to an awful-looking game reborn – redeemed! – as a psychedelic ghost prepare.
Jam2go fed “Everything from traditional art to modern and post-modern, everything from impressionist to surreal” into DeepFashion (you possibly can see a few of his supply materials, together with Impressionist Kirby, close to the beginning of the beneath video) to realize this fever-dream painterly impact. The outcomes have been insufficiently disturbing for his tastes, nevertheless, so he additionally slowed down and stretched out all of the music and shuffled each single line of dialogue and sound impact to make it as otherworldly as doable.
The result’s open-world RPG as avant-garde film – an explosion of oddity, soundtracked by head-spinning non-sequiturs and weapons that sound like infants. I really like the bejeesus out of it. The nightmare-fuel music particularly is pure Twin Peaks: The Return.
You can seize the visible aspect of the mod from here, and the script that shuffles the sound recordsdata round from here. If you possibly can’t be bothered with all that, right here’s a full two hours of this marvellous mod in motion:
The similar man did something similar with Skyrim some time again, however the differing artwork fed to Deep Dream resulted in additional of a glitch impact, plus Skyrim’s alright-looking within the first place, so all-told it’s not as deliriously pleasant as this LSD Impressionist New Vegas.
