Is this is even legal?

[st0lve]

I'd sue them.

Probebly not legal but it seems to contain some old games so the textures will be pretty crappy anyway no?

I remember Max Payne's textures were released but only to use for non commerial uses because they figured if they didn;t do it, someone else would put them availeble anyway.

Well thats what I heard I'm not 100% sure its true.

I wonder why they didn't do that for MP2..

I've had a look at some: Sin textures are horrble and old, JK2 have all been scaled down so some of them look terrible, Mafia has some decent stuff and so does Undying, the other games I either have or don't care for...

that sites been up for awhile so i guess no one cares enough to sue.

Well, it seems that most of those games, if not all, have released SDK which basically means that everyone can get their hands to the textures anyway, and besides, there are not any originals, so I don't see the big problem, other than the abandonware debate about copyrights and all.

ive been using some of the mafia textures from there for a long time :x

[von*ferret]

or you could just make your own hires textures?

[ginsengavenger]

i haven't looked at the texture files themselves but ingame i thought that Mafia had some of the nastiest photorapery ever committed to disk. probably there are some decent ones in there but that's what i remember from the game.

[Bic-B@ll]

i thought they were great

At it's time, Mafias graphics were hailed as one of the greatest ever. But if you look at it now, it seems like garbage.

[ginsengavenger]

i think it was just the scale of the project, they had to blast through a ton of textures and many wound up hurried. the characters and vehicles were time well spent but i'm talking about the world textures.

[Bic-B@ll]

i still think they look excellent :\

then again i havent played mafia since it first came out
