Diablo 3 Cinematics Upscaled to 8K, 48 FPS

There's a new and pretty damn impressive upscale of the Black Soulstone Diablo 3 cinematic, as it goes all the way up to 8K (but also 4K, for literally everyone), but also to 48 FPS which improves it quite a bit more than the resolution itself. As this is the Upscale channel, there's also a side-by-side comparison of the original and upgrade. Azmodan is looking pretty great in particular, and as usual with these 48 FPS upgrades, the whole thing flows really well: Nov 16, 2020 at 03:48 by Starym
