What? Isn’t Grim Fandango Remastered already in HD, you ask? Well yes, it is, however the background art wasn’t available in a higher resolution when the remaster was developed, and upscaling tooling at the time was simplistic — meaning the background art looks quite soft and fuzzy.
That changes now. Since 2014 there has been an incredible leap in technology concerning making low-resolution pictures look as if they were more detailed, thanks to the advent of AI-powered processing.
Grim Fandango Remastered already has fantastic 3D, lighting, and audio. The HD background mod completes the package and I suspect will become the definitive way to enjoy the game, for those lucky enough to have a PC they can install it on.
I’d like to see Grim Fandango Remastered officially patched or re-released so that those on other platforms can enjoy the goods too, but in the meantime this is what you want.
