Warmonger - Operation: Downtown Destruction is a 2007 ego-perspective shooter by NetDevil and Ageia. It is notable for it's outstanding PhysX effects, having a level of destructability rarely seen in shooters of the time (and even today).

Upscaling this one was a real chore, as the original was a choppy, highly compressed 480p recording. Both upscaling and interpolating "realistic" 3D footage is a lot more difficult than with 2D games or animations. There is some glitching in the text and smaller UI elements. The crosshair had to be manually edited back in after interpolation. Still, I believe the AI technology shows some merit here when comparing it to the original footage.

Upsampled with Video2X and interpolated with RIFE 2.4. Edited with DaVinci Resolve.
