Resident Evil 4 HD Project - Progress Thread

Nice job on the mud! It looks great in a screenshot, but I'm worried if it might look weird walking on such detailed mud and not seeing it squish?
 
What about Ganados on the mud?
Hehe true. Them's the trade offs when trying to enhance a 9 year old game. :) but the nice thing is that there are no Ganados in the section where this texture is most prevalent. And to be honest even if there were it wouldn't be something noticeable enough to mess up the experience.
 
Incredible work

Is it possible to start seeing what the game looks like by now though? Instead of zoomed in texture changes
You mean essentially some basic screenshots? If so, yes, I'll keep it in mind for a future update. I tend to focus on showing the updates closer up so folks can get a good sense of the level of enhancement that we're aiming for.

In the meantime the best way to get a sense of this for yourself would be to download the demo released from the site. Also, earlier in the thread I believe some folks posted screenshots from their play-through of our demo as well, if you'd like to look at those.

Hope that helps!

Ah, I see. I still can't believe how far you two have come on this project. You guys rock!
 
I keep checking in on this thread to check the progress and every time you post an update I'm continually blown away by how amazing your textures look.
 
Love the signpost with iglesia and lago.

They look good, and also show off an interesting stage RE4 must've gone through.

Since the shadow system seems like it can be pretty primitive, they actually used color grading on textures to bring them out against the background. See how in the early remaster texture for those signs, the top one seems to blend into the rocks behind it? Color grade it to be more of a brownish color, modify it a little, and it will stand out more.
 
I was doubtful this would ever work out, of course

Im still dubious because only wizards can do this kind of magic. Are you wizards?

Hoooooly shit

So good
 
These areas have gone a bit faster and it’s really satisfying to see the difference! There are perhaps some contrast / brightness adjustments to make but regardless, enjoy the comparison shots!

It's as perfect as ever - the drastically increased detail on the chimney stands out in particular, as does the cloth texturing on that sack. Though there is one thing that seems a little off - the insignia, though much more detailed, looks a little plastic. But it's a minor thing.
 
Wow, I can't wait to see this in motion. It looks absolutely stunning!

One question - are you guys still going to release Dolphin compatible versions, or is this entirely a PC project now?

For now entirely PC, but after it's complete we'll evaluate where to go next. :-)
 
Brilliant stuff as always dude, never fails to impress :)

How far do you and Albert reckon you are through retexturing the game at the minute ?
 
I wish there was an option to extract the meshes, add in more edge loops, redo the really low-poly ones or tessellate them and get them back in, that would be the icing of the cake.
 
God those new screens are beautiful. You're doing a great job sir and if you were to release the game in this much detail I'd pay you full price
 
You better work ... I want to see my 5$ donation put to good use.

Just kidding. Excellent job! you guys are to only reason I'm still waiting to buy RE4 HD on PC. When I replay it on my PC, then only with your mod.

It's currently 50% off on Steam, in case you were waiting on a discount!

there will be better discounts with more time. right now I have it on the ps3 and gamecube. so no need for the pc version until the mod is released ;) but thanks for the info
 
The floor textures in the area with the lifts are littered with weird seam issues. I've been able to eliminate the large majority of them. More comparison shots are up at the site (re4hd.com):

That seam correction seems absolutely insane. Fantastic work dude.
