It sounds like Xpliskin used a tool to extract it from the game files. That sounds like it would be an easier way to get everything in one go.

Alo can you make a gif of either of two places: the courtyard just outside the main hallway in the beginning or the area next to the courtyard?
I don't want to spoil anything so let's just say you'll know it when you see it.
Oh a lightning gif? I don't think the areas I had in mind had lightning do Nvm.

When playing through Dolphin you can dump textures as they appear in game. All the backgrounds are just textures, so every time you enter a room or camera change it can dump the background.
I'm actually dumping a bunch right now because I'm trying my own scaling on them to see if I can get something that looks a bit better than what Capcom has put out so far, and much better than what REmake looks like typically scaled up.
I'm uploading a fat group of the backgrounds to my Sta.sh now (it should be about 217 of them).
You can check that folder out and it should be updating as the rest upload.
Examples:
Oh cool,thanks for saving me time. I was gonna go ahead and dig through the backgrounds.
Edit: The laboratory ones should be good.
I'm actually trying my hand at making the game look better to emulate in Dolphin again.
Here are some comparison shots. I scaled the backgrounds a custom way, and I'm using SweetFx on top. It uses bloom and film grain, the bloom is a bit thick right now but I plan to tweak it down. SweetFx is of course optional.
I think the clarity in the floor is a lot nicer in the top one.
Here are two where one is default, and one is just the updated background (no SweetFx)
This area, or this area?
?
I've dumped and compared the textures and they're identical.

I think 960x792 with 4x ssaa hits the sweet spot between the backgrounds and 3d characters looking out of place.
Capcom has some sort of watercolor painting filter that makes the images look artificial as hell. Why can't they do this instead?

People would flip their shit (probably rightfully) if they bought a game in 2014/2015 and it looked like this on their screens.
I'll take 16:9 ratio. Even if the camera moves it's not the end of the world. Especially for people who are first time players. Me I've played the original and experienced it already so this remastering is great.People would flip their shit (probably rightfully) if they bought a game in 2014/2015 and it looked like this on their screens.

I don't recall this door even being busted open like that.

I don't recall this door even being busted open like that.
Sometimes the doors are 3D rendered objects in the game, so they won't be drawn in the pre-rendered background.

If this door was rendered in real-time, it means at some point a zombie could open it. But I don't ever recall any event happening with it. :/

It's possible that they designed some doors to be opened but never implemented it, or you were simply never in a situation that prompted it to happen.

Is this bullshit then? The webpage did exist apparently. Also saw this in the CU thread: https://twitter.com/acourtroom/status/481295811267936257
I would riot.

I'm pretty sure a zombie can open that door, but it won't be unhinged. I think the only ones that do that are the 1F west hall door and the bathroom door (hunterzz)

Because those on non Nintendo systems may not have played it, the game deserves a fair chance at good sales, and Capcom likes money.
Because fans wanted it. Hell, I actually requested this happen in the RE survey they had awhile back. RE as a whole doesn't really need a reboot either, because the new games still sell well.

Because one of the best games of all time doesn't deserve to be locked away forever on old Nintendo consoles.

Member
Because more people having the chance to play one of the best games of all time can not be bad?
Did RE on GameCube bomb or something?
AuthenticM
Member
yes
They released the game exclusively for the least popular console, and a type of game that players of the console aren't a lot into. Had they released it for PS2 it would have sold a lot more.
I don't recall this door even being busted open like that.
That's cuz a zombie busted it. Hunters will do it too. It happens.
Edit: Oh that particular door... Yeah, there's nothing in there that could do that. Weird.
Post edit: unless it happened from the other the side the camera is on...

I believe it sold a little over a million copies on Gamecube and it wasn't up to Capcom's expectations so they made 4 in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience.
Crimsonclaw111

It made Player's Choice but would have done tons better on PS2, as evidenced by the monstrous sales of RE4 once it left GameCube exclusivity.

Are you kidding me?
The best RE game ever and one of the best remakes of all time if not THE BEST, fans have been asking for this including myself for long years begging for HD version... thank god our prayers have been answered and they are finally giving it to us.
Beside this will get a decent sales and will send a message for Capcom that fans wants a survival horror RE game.

There's really no comparison, they're completely different games.
This is the best game in the series imo.

There's a Wii version that's no different from GC original, which is also playable on WiiU...
But if people want to support this kind of rush job so be it
Crimsonclaw111

Well, they're both the best of their style (classic and modern RE) but RE4 is more action based. REmake is more survival focused.
Personally I have a hard time choosing which is the best because of the two styles but I'm pretty sure overall I enjoy REmake a bit more than RE4. Either way you can't go wrong.
And lol at the post above me. This is a rush job and you're telling people to buy the version that got slapped on a DVD with no changes?
If people don't support this, say goodbye to the idea of Capcom ever listening to it's fans again since fans have been asking for this port for a long time now.

whoops forgot to upscale these. What i meant to say is keep the internal resolution at 960x792 then apply 4x ssaa (maybe more for current gen) and then upscale the image.People would flip their shit (probably rightfully) if they bought a game in 2014/2015 and it looked like this on their screens.

You guys and your updated controls. It's not RE without the tank
Just to be clear, the game didn't bomb.
I was recently looking at Capcoms earning reports for that year and they were very happy with the success of REmake but comparatively disappointed with the sales of RE0. The sales of RE0 is what pushed them to make RE4 a departure from the classic Resident Evil formula.

They shouldn't have made 0 the way it was then. I mean I like it but it's easily the weakest RE.
No item boxes, boo.
Would still buy on Steam.

What you're saying doesn't really sound like a very good idea.
I'm understanding it as scale the 512x*whatever the height it, sorry I don't rememeber* backgrounds up to 960x792, then render the 3D objects - stuff like Jill/Chris and zombies with 4xSSAA at that resolution, then scale that again up to 1920x1080?
Also, your examples you've provided are stretched outward to 16:9

Yeah that's exactly what i was trying to say. I don't know if it's a good implementation or not (i'm not that tech savvy) but i find that method more pleasing to my eyes than that watercolor effect capcom is doing.
For a series that sale at least a million in its home market. I doubt 100k+ would be something Capcom happy with. This REmake use as much money as producing full new game. It was only Shinji ambition to put this game exclusively on GC.
Even RE4 didnt sell that much more. Hence the end of exclusive. Capcom put 2 of the best RE on that console and sell like shit.
