All of these 3D edits are making my head spin. Also, did 3D modeling these papers mean the game naturally started rendering shadows for them? Because god DAMN that's a huge upgrade.

 

[plagiarize]

A new update from Albert! Commentary and a video of the area are up at re4hd.com

And here are the comparison shots. Enjoy the work in progress!

Whenever this thread gets bumped it makes me so happy. You guys are not far off now. I can't wait to replay RE4 start to finish with your texture pack and I hate pretty much every other texture pack I've ever run into.

This is honestly some of the very best retexturing work I've seen... I know I always say it, but it's always true.

 

[SURGEdude]

Going by the progress summary on the site am I correct in understanding that the textures are totally completed through r217?

Itchin to play some.

[potatohead]

I don't know what else to say at this point.

So much this x1000.

 

[Lunafreya]

I've been stunned over how amazingly well done this is.

You guys should definitely get official recognition from CAPCOM for your hard work.

Is there any estimate or updated demo/Castle part on the horizon?

With the real glass 3D edit s, can you break it?

I love the final areas of the game, and your work is truly making them shine!

One criticism: In the new video, Leon zooms in on the machinery with the scope and the the texture for some of the front panels is clearly flipped, with text being mirrored. I imagine that's an error?

 

[Refreshment.01]

Is the text actually readable in those notes in the wall? If so, did you improvise or reconstructed from the source material?

 

[chugen]

best thread on the internet. its beautiful!

Hi everyone! New update from inside the clock tower, along with some quick replies to the questions since the last update. As always, you can follow the project at re4hd.com

Questions and Answers:

Will enemies also get updated textures?

Yup! Pretty much everything will. Check out the FAQ for more info: http://www.re4hd.com/?page_id=104

Also, did 3D modeling these papers mean the game naturally started rendering shadows for them? Because god DAMN that's a huge upgrade.

I believe that's just part of the revised texture, sorry. :-( Though I agree, that would have been huge.

Is there any estimate or updated demo/Castle part on the horizon?

No decisions yet on whether we'll do an updated demo for the castle section, sorry. We'll most likely decide on that once that portion of the game is complete.

I don't believe so.

Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to watch the video. I have that on my list of things to revise once I get to that room.

Is the text actually readable in those notes in the wall? If so, did you improvise or reconstructed from the source material?

While I haven't personally reviewed those individual textures yet, generally speaking if we're able to find the original source for the texture, then the text would reflect that (unless it's something that completely doesn't fit -- an example I've mentioned before is that some of the notes in the village section of the game actually come from an Influenza notice, and so that was revised). On the other hand, if we are re-creating the texture from scratch, we do our best to improvise text that fits with the context of the area and the game as a whole.

Thanks again, everyone, for all the encouragement!

I follow this project since the begining. Very good work done here and impressiv

 

[deleted]

Your updates are immensly impressive. I look forward to the day you release this mod - it will be the day I rebuy RE4 again

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Every time I see this thread bumped, my heart skips a beat!
There are not enough superlatives in the world do describe the love and attention being poured into this.
Amazing work!

 

[d3vnull]

Great job, guys! The added 3D depth makes it look so much better.
Can't wait to play it.

Yuuuuuuup.

Looking forward to playing this for a 983572952th time.

Something to keep in mind,

if you're baking the shadows into the textures, if people ever figure out how to implement Ambient Occlusion into the game, those areas will basically be getting shadowed twice. It looks really great how it is, but to future proof might be worth saving a version without shadowing as well as a backup?

 

[Strider7]

This project blows my mind every time I see an update. Holy crap!

Yup, stuff like that can easily be undone (just a matter of a quick edit to the PSD file).

 

[finley83]

Looking great as always. Really glad you're still working on the project!

 

[Mit-]

This is insanity, and if Capcom were the most amazing company in the world, they would cut this guy a nice check, buy his work, and implement it into the actual release of the game.

 

[Dream_Journey]

Damn, shame Capcom, they should hire you, masterful job!

 

[The Dear Leader]

Will you be doing any 3D model enhancing with characters like you're doing with the environment? Like making Leon's gloves and arms less blocky?

 

[Shredderi]

Again, ridiculous. The added 3d geometry looks real good.

 

[Dice]

This is the most amazing fan project in the history of videogames.

 

[Parsnip]

Should add some polygons to ballistics.

For science.

 

[bananafactory]

I have never played RE4 and am happy to say I have been patiently holding off until this project is complete so I can experience it for the first time with all of this amazing detail.

Great work you guys. I know it will be worth the wait

 

[Pif]

How much are you guys gonna release this for?

 

[joms5]

Exceptional work so far. Is there an estimate for how complete it is at this point in time?

 

[Dragon1893]

I don't know what else to say at this point. You guys are heroes.

 

[Nerrel]

Such subtle improvements in depth make a huge difference. This is yet another area that looks "the same, but better," which is the perfect way to upgrade.

 

[digitalrelic]

Progress Summary from their official site:

http://www.re4hd.com/?page_id=1656

And this was actually last updated on 2/5 so they're possibly a bit beyond this.

Seems to me that they're on track to have it finished before the end of the year. Who knows though!

Thanks for that!

It seems like they're over the hump. That's encouraging. Keep up the great work guys!

 

[Skittles]

Great work so far

 

[Ultimadrago]

Yeah, the news today (PS4 RE 4,5,6) just reminded me that I'm only waiting for this. (Please don't disband!) ;__;

 

[maverick40]

Interesting to see how this version will compare to the PS4 version announced today

 

[crisdecuba]

Interesting to see how this version will compare to the PS4 version announced today

From what I saw in the trailer, the graphics engine / textures haven't been improved.

 

[thelastword]

I hope this is bumped because Capcom has decided to use Crisdecuba's work for the upcoming RE4 re-release. RE4 is coming out last so it makes sense that they would need extra time to use it.

 

[jett]

Interesting to see how this version will compare to the PS4 version announced today

I doubt these new ports will look much/any better than the already available PC ports.

 

[Tagyhag]

Have we ever since a dev do something like that for consoles?

 

[Instro]

Interesting to see how this version will compare to the PS4 version announced today

I would assume it's a port of the Ultimate HD edition.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

As a spaniard I amazingly happy all the amount of detail that has gone to texts that would have very probably been in spanish in the game world, being in spanish.

I know talking with south american spanish accent has some funny charm and we all had a a good laugh about it (even if its completly wrong and a huge capcom fuck up), but I would pay a lot of money for all the villagers to actually talk in castillian spanish with some phrases even in galician or vasque (they never say exactly were it takes place, only that is northern spain). Thats would be amazing, and a plaga talking in deep galician/vasque scary as fuck.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Wanted to check up on the progress after the new port announcement. Hot damn, you guys. It's been forever since I replayed the game on Wii, absolutely can't wait for this amazing labor of love.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Capcom should use this as the port for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and give these guys a large cut. It is evident that Capcom are using the vanilla PC version as the port for XB1 and PS4.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Yeah, it's such a big difference.

I could always play the original vanilla version since the gameplay's the same and the art direction is still awesome but yeah.... I'll take redone textures any day of the week.

 

[family_guy]

Maybe that's why RE4 is last out of the 3 games.

 

[GhostTrick]

Maybe that's why RE4 is last out of the 3 games.

It's just that they release them in the backward order. Unless crisdecuba and his buddy finish it before, what are the odds Capcom license their work ? Very small.

 

[Stevey]

Can't wait for the release of this.
