  • Resident Evil 4 HD Project Released, Giving an Old Classic a Massive Visual Boost

    Resident Evil 4 HD Project

    The latest release of the Resident Evil 4 HD Project is available to be downloaded. Weighing in at a hefty 28.5GB, this release overhauls nearly every texture for Resident Evil 4 HD that came out for the PC a few years back.

    The mod was created because despite the "HD" in the game's name, the texture work by Capcom was severely lacking. Two modders, who just happened to live near the area where the original textures were sourced from, began this project nearly three and a half years ago.

Boosting services are very popular among players even when some are against the use of boosts. Boosts are available for all the games.

    The duo took it upon themselves to redo the textures, effects, some lighting, and even some environmental objects that were incorrectly placed or flat out missing. The environments have been updated along with major parts of the user interface. Really, the only things that stand out as not being updated yet seem to be the character models. However, the current results are nothing short of spectacular.

      Been following (and supporting) this project for years, every update has been hugely impressive to see and it's crazy to think they finally made it to the end, sans character models, couldn't be prouder of these guys and the free time they dedicated to this project.

      Speaking of characters, they've shown their ability to create environment textures and models, but making human beings is a whole different skill set, i asked them a while back if they were worried or if they were secretly good at that too, "Albert", one of the devs, replied:
      "About the characters, I don’t think re-creating skin/faces/clothes/organic textures and touching-up their 3D models will be a problem 😉
      In brief: No, I’m not worried".

      I'm very interested to see how they approach it, it wouldn't be difficult to "mess up" the game's iconic character models.

      Yeah, I don't doubt their ability to create some amazing character textures and models but from what I heard, they're more worried about making the updated characters look close enough to the original that it won't piss off fans.

      Which is totally understandable. I don't doubt their abilities but I'm sure they also don't want to end up with a situation like the Half-Life 2 Cinematic mod either. -shudder-
