Yeah it does depend on the texture pack and game in question. Is the game realism-oriented? Is the game's art style even good and worth preserving to an autistic degree in the first place? Most old games do look shit with HD world textures, but System Shock 2 is definitely an exception for example (NOT rebirth though). New AI upscale tech as above is usually pretty good too, typically because it's pretty subtle. I am 100% on board with Quake looking like shit with HD (world geometry) texture packs though. The game is highly abstract and not detail nor realism oriented in its level design, so it just looks fucked. Techbase interiors look kinda nice since they're a little less abstract than the other world types, but that's about it.
