Is it just my imagination, or is there a face/skull on the original bag?

Looks like Doomuy.

 

[Alo81]

Some of the examples from this week in the original are so poor, and so immaculate in the updated version that it just seems out of a completely different era. Huge improvements all around.

 

[tesqui]

Looks like Doomuy.

First thing i thought as well haha.

I believe the door opening sound in the lab is also from Doom.

Coincidence? I think not. (They just used the same stock sound library I guess.)

 

[Nerrel]

Loving these jars and other little details. You've developed a good sense of how to fill out scenes with new things that look like they belong.

Was the specular effect on the regenerator new? I've never noticed it there before.

 

[GametimeUK]

I was going to buy RE4 on PS4 lately. Instead of doing so, I am going to donate the cost of the game to these guys instead. Way more worthy of my cash.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

The restoration we deserve.

 

[potatohead]

It's.... too impossibly good.

I don't even see such good texturing skills in full production games?

Hi everyone! After a really busy work week I’m happy to share progress from the Novistador nest right next to the 2 El Gigantes. As always, your feedback is welcome, and if you have any questions just let us know. re4hd.com

 

[Timu]

This is beyond amazing!!!

 

[Teeth]

I hate even bringing this up, because your work is so consistently amazing, but the chain recreation, while great looking, appears as a different style than the original.

The original chains look like thick, aged brass, while your recreation appears to be a more standard size and made of worn steel.

It's the nit-pickiest of nit picks though. Everything is just stellar as usual.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

I am likely straining way too much, but the original text almost looks like it says:

The (...)
Of This (...)
Was Made Possible
By The Many Friends Of
Victor Barclay

 

[Heidern98]

I am likely straining way too much, but the original text almost looks like it says:

Maybe the missing words are "creation" and "work"?

Thank you for the compliments and the feedback - I agree!

Maybe! The text was revised based on what the game says that it says when you read it.

It would be interesting / funny to have a version that just used whatever the original image was. (Thanks, Victor Barclay!)

Im sure you 've heard this before but i want to have sex with those textures.

While I may have missed a response here or there, I think this is the first time. ;-)

I love how damp and gross the rock walls look. It reminds me of the Xenomorph nest from Aliens.

This week's update covers room 327: the last big battle against Ganados

More info In: www.re4hd.com

Only 5 more rooms to reach the end on the main game!

 

[exemp30]

Steam sale pushing me to buy this on PC but I bought it on Ps4 already I dunno if I'd be able to go back to it with this.

Will you guys be releasing the main game once its done, or waiting until Separate Ways, etc. is finished?

 

[finley83]

Seeing the comparison pics is like imagining how the world looks before and after laser eye surgery. It's absurd how we've seen dozens of HD remakes in the last few years but all of them pale in comparison to this.

 

[dsk1210]

I have held off playing RE4 until this is released, never completed the game and so excited to play through it like this.

I will donate some money to you once this is out for sure, the work you have both put into this is astonishing. Keep it up.

Another thread bump, another round of heart palpitations. Amazing work.

I think you should have a vote on what that "Victor Barclay" plaque reads. That would be fun.

edit: never mind. It's supposed to say "two lights shall shine on a new path", which yours does.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Only 5 rooms left for the main game... We are so close!

 

[disappeared]

I wonder if Mikami's seen this.

 

[Cubed]

I know I'm not the first (or even one hundredth) person to say this, but:

That's some darn fine work! Thanks for doing this!

 

[Sinatar]

5 rooms! Ohboyohboyohboyohboy

 

[kodecraft]

5 more rooms? We've been ready !

 

[Krammy]

I've never played Resident Evil 4 (although I've played 1 and 5 to death), so I'm looking forward to my first romp with the game using this mod.

As always, amazing work and good luck in the final stretch of rooms. Looking forward to seeing the main game completed and everything afterwards!

 

[Wonko_C]

I finally nabbed the game today for $5 on Steam (after regional pricing conversion), thanks to the Halloween Sale, only to find out my PC can't keep 60fps in the more open ended areas, my game was running at half-speed during the "where's everybody going, bingo?" sequence (both with and without modded textures). I must upgrade my PC ASAP, LOL.

 

[potatohead]

My God man.... Incredible

 

[demosthenes]

5 more rooms but this is the ordering of updates:
– Environmental Textures
– Items and Weapons
– Enemies, NPCs, Playable Characters, Misc.
– Mercenaries, Separate Ways, and anything not covered above

 

[Timu]

I played this game but didn't beat it(didn't get far)...now I can experience this whole game with this mod once it's done!!!

 

[Unai]

Only 5 more rooms?

 

[me0wish]

I find it pretty surprising that Capcom isn't buying this and selling it. I really hope Capcom does something official, you guys really deserve it.

An excuse to sell RE4 again, Capcom will never go for it! /s Hmm, what could they call it, RE4 4K Edition then RE4 VR Edition etc.

I know it's a passion project but I hope if Capcom get in contact for an official release, they do offer a slice of profits. The work is amazing and deserves it.

It's happening!

They can release it again on PC for 40$, and 20$ for previous owners, and release it a year later on consoles as RE4k to go along with Scorpio/PS4Pro.

 

[Waddle Dee]

Oh god, almost all the rooms in the main game are done! O.O

 

[demosthenes]

I find it pretty surprising that Capcom isn't buying this and selling it. I really hope Capcom does something official, you guys really deserve it.

It's a sticky in the community hub on Steam to give it exposure. Exposure if the best that this group can hope for and get donations from that. I've donated before and will donate again when it's finished. I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Is mercenaries getting a face lift too or no?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Is mercenaries getting a face lift too or no?

I imagine they could just take the re-textured assets from the main game and port them right over

 

[Jawmuncher]

Stage 4 I think is the only one they would have to update from scratch.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

oh yeah, Waterworld. I always imagine Mercs development started with that and they was like, "deadline's coming up...fuck it fam re-use the assets from the main game"

 

[Pakkidis]

Been holding off replaying this game for over a year now. Waiting for this update. This has to be one of the best mods I've seen in a very long time.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Only 5 more rooms to reach the end on the main game!

Once you guys are finished with the Village and Castle you're already done with the main game 🙄

Great work though guys. Can't wait to see the residual effects from this one releasing. Best of luck ahead.

 

[Nerrel]

This week's update covers room 327: the last big battle against Ganados

You're just killing it with these doors and control panels. I almost wish the game had more control panels and buttons everywhere than it already does just to get more of this sweet, sweet action.

Now that you're almost done with environments, do you plan any kind of revision phase where you'll go back over all of the textures for the whole game with another pass (to ensure consistency, final quality, etc.), or do you expect everything will be pretty much done and ready once these last rooms are addressed? I know that you've already revisited the village at least once already. Hopefully the items and weapons should be a little more straightforward and simple to work on.

 

[jett]

Wow just five more rooms left? Amazing progress.

 

[Seik]

Wow just five more rooms left? Amazing progress.

Yeah, that's great!

Can't wait to see how they'll remaster the characters in the end!

 

[JaseMath]

What are the odds that Capcom purchases the rights to use all this work? This is one of the most impressive fan contributions I've ever seen; it's just incredible.
