oh gosh dose leevs :3
I wasn't sure how much more detail you'd have been able to add to the original 2D sprites used for the hedge maze, but somehow you managed an incredible amount of verisimilitude, given the context. The rest is as impressive as ever, especially the stone carving and embossed metal on the door.

Great work. The geometry on these pillars and the balcony look a bit off, though. Maybe it's the textures or the lack of any shadows, I'm not sure, but it looks rather flat. No offense, though. You guys are doing transcendent work on this project.
Probably because it IS flat
Honestly, I think this is just a textured plane, no further geometry involved.

Yup, that's about right.

Fuck me... Holy shit!
Looks like a different game.
Holy fuck at those leaves. I am also always amazed when you guys are able to track down the real paintings those blurry images are based on.
This is one of the few, if not the first, shots that seems a little off. The perspective on the statue should be top down, but we're seeing it as if from below. Maybe it's just because of the position of the camera... it may not look as odd from Leon's height.
But that hedge. Are those leaves the actual source of the original texture, or just a very close match?
there is a line in the leaf texture that probably shouldn't be there

some kind of stitching/tiling issue? rest of it looks right but that spot (lower middle to the left)

It says HD recreation, which means they're creating it themselves. I think if its from the original source it'll say HD restoration

Nope, it's the 3D model itself where one set of polygons cuts off another. The issue is present in the original one as well, but harder to notice. I've noted it for the future.

Today some updates from Albert from the Salazar robot room (work in progress).
One thing you'll notice are updated reflections in the water. More shots and details / commenary at the site (re4hd.com)
Enjoy!

How did you do the reflections? Do you guys have some method of just "render the game world again but upside down" for the reflection? That comparison is seriously like someone took the reflections graphics slider from all the way left to all the way right.

I'm sure once it's completed it will truly take off. It'll probably be the next DSFix in terms of being seen as mandatory.

Basically duplicated the applicable parts / 3D models of the room upside down beneath the water.

Another update! This time from the Salazar tower and the battle area where you fight him. A few more shots and a demo video are up at the site (re4hd.com)
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll get that corrected shortly and will follow up here. Sorry for the trouble - I hope the other download link worked out (though more slowly).

Okay, the Mega download link has been updated. Thanks again for letting me know.
Looks fantastic!
In a related topic, what kind of modern graphical effects have people been able to add to RE4? SSAO, post-process via reshade? Anything particularly cool?

Just in case you missed it, you can see a "cut" in the hedge. Starting from the first HD text, go up and you can see what I mean.

Good gravy gentlemen! Haven't popped into this thread since the very beginning when I was marveling over the texturing on the leather jacket LMAO. Absolutely insane work. Just... insane. I can't get over how incredible the HD assets are! The amount of work poured into this is just tremendous. You guys are saints!
It would be great if another talented artist helped out on it. They could start at the beginning of the game and work their way back until both sides meet in the middle.
But man. This mod is insane. Do want.

No way I could miss it. ;-) Thanks!

Theyve actually already got 2 great artists working on it! cris and albert.

I feel like I need to run outside and show these pics to everyone I run into.
You likely played on a CRT, from further away. So smaller screen + blur. Even if not on a CRT, having a smaller screen helps make things seem a lot nicer visually. On top of that, most of these textures are noticeably bad when you get up and look at em, but from a distance, in your periphery while you're running through it's not as immediately noticeable.
Well...
Some (most?) textures in the game are really low-res and blurry. However, when you were playing the game you probably understood that you are playing a 9-year-old game originally released on GameCube so your mind ignored those textures, excused its existence. Also, the art design, lighting and character models are still great and it's a fast-paced action game, so it's easy to not look at the textures (unless it's in a cut-scene where you have a shot of a character talking and the background visible for several seconds is one ugly gray smeared wall texture).

I'm pretty sure everyone thought RE4 looked incredible at time of release. I mean, I sure as hell did. It's kinda crazy what continually changing standards do to older games. I look back now and I'm not sure how I ever could have tolerated the muddy visuals and aliasing lol
Remember we are looking at these screenshots at high resolutions. When I originally played RE4 on the GC, it was on a CRT and it looked mind blowingly good. The best looking game I've ever played up to that point.
RE4 was the best looking game during it's time. I remember when they lifted the embargo, on the top secret press demo where they first showed the village stage and the whole world went wild. Nobody was expecting RE4 to be as good as it was.
Anyway this HD update is really fantastic work.
