I would be wary of this
I know earlier in the thread I said Capcom would never shut something like this down because it's helping to drive sales to their product, and I stand by that statement
However, the moment you go to them and try and strike a release deal, those circumstances change slightly and that to me feels like a risk

We've been in discussion with them in the past. But we haven't heard from Capcom re: our RE4 project since about a year ago. Of course, we don't know what's going on internally...
There's nothing else we can do (or say about this) I'm afraid
But I rather this way right now! because we can work without pressures nor deadlines

Agreed. Take it easy and get it just right.
By the way I hope that when this is all done that you tell us more about your adventures and searches for the original photos/textures and objects. I remember seeing that comparison photo of a worn rock wall and being absolutely stunned. Think of it like a Spain history tour or something.

I would also love to hear about the guys adventures in tracking down the locations used in the game.

Thank you everyone for your comments
I was able to find some of the original textures because Capcom came to Europe in 2000 (aprox.) and one of the places they visited was my city, Barcelona.
Not just in RE4, you can find textures from their trip to Spain and Wales in REmake, Devil May Cry and Haunting Gruond games. Even in REvelations 2 there are still some remaining textures from those pictures they took so may years ago.
And... how I was able to found them? Well... this is hard to explain.
I've been working on this game's textures since the first PC port was released.
I recognized by chance one door (or window, or wall... I can't remember) while searching in Google for good resolution pictures to use as a replacement in the game. (by that time I was looking for similar textures, not the same). And then I saw something and I thought: "hey, that door... is almost identical to the one in the game... no wait... it's the same door!!"
Then I pulled the thread and I found some other textures in the Internet in the same location/building.
It was a city in Spain. And the architectonical style of lots of textures used in the game looked familiar to me. So, I guessed lots of them should come from Spain, too.
As time went by, I was able to locate most of the locations Capcom visited during their trip (in Spain and in UK) I went to those cities and I took pictures of the same things.
And yes, I took several pictures and then I put together all the pieces
Amazing
It's like it was your destiny to take on this project.
I do too.

There's always a few who can't fathom devoting time for a passion project.
but really
honestly
did anyone ever even slightly guess that we would end up with this sorcery that we see now
Mr. Smiley

Nope, but I honestly haven't followed much in overhauls like this for games prior.
This is god tier level stuff for me.
I'm really hoping for this, but if something hasn't come along by now after 2 years I'm not sure it'll happen. According to this old post you can inject ambient occlusion using gedosato, but I'm not sure how well it works. I haven't found any other concrete ways of adding things like AO or beyond.

It's at a point where I get a mini high every time I see this thread updated.
Agreed..also this is OP's hobby. No need to shit on him for spending his time.
Re4 is phenomenal.
I hope there is a proper remake from grounds up one day.

Love the work you've put in so far. Can I ask if all these textures have been tested in the game. Is it playing fine? Also what kind of machine has it been tested on? Would love some info regarding this when you have time.

Amazing work. You guys deserve a documentary. Would love to see the process and places. The dedication to this game is simply breathtaking. So glad I donated to this project

Hello again! Here goes a new update
Boiler room and Krauser fight area. I've tried my first cutscene model edit successfully. So, I guess we'll be able to edit any character/enemy model aswell (If needed)
I hope you like these work in progress pictures!

Loving the work on Krauser. It's weird that the metallic door has a handle since it's an automatic slide door.
Do you guys feel that you will finish this project by Fall 2016?
It would be nice to choose between this or the capcom RE4 HD for PS4.
Obviously Capcom should be smart and get you guys on board for the PS4 version - youve done more than half the work for them and with a bigger team you guys would be able to reach the deadline. But I feel they wont do that.

When the project started, there were occasions where I wondered if the new textures were gritty enough; cleaning them up in HD had the unfortunate effect of making them look too pure. I think you're over that now, there's a great amount of grit in these:
At first I wasn't sure about the shadowing on the floor being pulled back so much, but looking at the other shadows, I think the new texture is more realistic. The original floor seems way too dark where the columns meet.
Is it exciting knowing that you're nearing the end of the game, or are you dreading the start of all the other textures?

Haha! Nope. Stage textures are the biggest part of the project... fortunatelly!
I don't think so. Even stage textures is the biggest part, a lot of work remain to be done (characters, enemies, items, menus...)
That one in not a slide door (judging by the sound it makes when opening it). But I removed the door handles for next room's sliding doors

On the sign above Leon that says "WORKING" it looks like you changed it to "ATENCIÓN" and changed the text to Spanish? Makes sense since the game takes place in Spain

I can't wait to see all the other stuff after you get done with the stages. This stuff is beautiful.
They'll do that after the environments are done. But really, the environments are the main problem that needed to be fixed. The characters and items have held up far better... Still excited to see how they turn out, but I'm firing up the game as soon as the environments are done. I've been holding off on a replay for too long.

They've done that for a ton of the textures in the game. It does make things a little more realistic.
What choice is there to even make? Even without considering this mod , this version is capable of 4k, 60fps and Steam controller support (though you could use the DS4 if you wanted to)... and it will probably be a hell of a lot cheaper.
Revelations looks like utter trash, that's not really a feat
In fairness that game was mind blowing on the 3DS. It's still one of the most impressive games on the system.
Pretty sure he means putting these textures into the PS4 version and selecting between the fan made HD and capcoms "HD."

I can't wait to see the HD Leon skins and weapons!
Doesn't look like this was posted yet:
A nice interview Cris and Albert did with RageQuitters about the project
Couple new shots at the bottom.

Leon's model is already really good, so I think the guns should come before the characters.
But fuck it, I'll stream it once the environments are done.

Hello! Here's a new update,
The iconic Laser hallway
I hope you like these work in progress pictures and video
I like the specular effect I got but I guess it's a matter of taste...
