Maybe teams could use tools like AI Gigapixel (discussed on here yesterday) to upsample older textures?

I agree with you that there is asset work to be done, but I bet there are tools out there that can simplify and automate this process quite a bit today.

I couldn’t find the tool you mentioned but I found a thread on another site about a GAN that can upscale images, and using that one to generate highres textures.

This was the article linked in the thread from yesterday.. It relates to upsampling TV show special effects but I think similar tools could be used:
