Sarge's Heroes gameplay just got more intense! Prepare to charge on the battlefield in a guns-blazing glory or go out with a loud bang. Explosions everywhere! Gunshots firing! Bullets coming from several directions. Realistic mortar blasts! In this Army Men Sarge's Heroes HD modification, we plan to change the gameplay feeling from what seemed to be a boring and bland experience, to intense Run n' Gun action! Putting more emphasis to REAL Combat, Plastic Men.
Thanks for playing!

The PC version lacked the nice graphical enhancements that the N64 version had despite the fact that PC games were more advanced than console games, it was a poor port instead of being made directly for the PC.
Hopefully Night Dive Studios can change that now. In fact I hope they can look into the Dreamcast port and see what they can do from there with the PC remaster.
When are we to expect the HD graphics release? Also, do you know how to view the 3d models? Not sure which file format they are in and all teh ones i guessed didn't work. Let me know if you have an answer to both of these!
Unfortunately there may not be a graphics release. I've underestimated the difficulty of the graphics files and the programming code. I've been trying to find the software engineer who build the engine and see if he is willing to guide me on how to crack the files and overhaul the graphics, however he's been impossible to even reach. Unless someone else can find a way, I'm stumped.
What engine does this game use?
I'm unsure the name of it's engine, but it seems to be a proprietary in-house one from 3DO. The same engine used to make Army Men 3D and the World War console ports. They just upgraded them for each PS1 release. The latest version was the one from Sarge's Heroes 2 (PS1) before they discontinued it.

Are you guys gonna use the Dreamcast version's music for revamping?
Perhaps. If I can find how to rip the music.
Awesome, how did you guys even manage to modify this game's files? I was never able to figure it out.
It coincidentally shows you where to modify them in the instructions read-me file inside the zip once you download it.
Turned out to be easier than I though to modify this game. Although you may need sound editor software such as Goldwave or Audacity to modify the sounds or boost the quality sample rate to 44100Hz.
And from the looks of it, you may need Visual C# Express to modify the code script files.
