That, and we were supposed to play this game in our 21"-29" CRT TVs, so it looked good enough.

This. The game looked incredible in 2005.

They've got a full progress summary of the things they've covered so far. For the past many months they're still in the castle section (in progress). Either they're occupied with their lives and have little free time or they're completely gonna update all the "formerly in progress" areas to "completed" in one single update, but that's just wishful thinking.
I think they're taking their time to concentrate on everything as much as they can, which in the end, is good for this mod.
Also, this is just environment textures (halfway done). Here's what they planned to overhaul this mod with in it's entirety.
So yeah, a realistic release timeframe for the full package would be somewhere around this month, in 2017.

Average hours per week on the project remains at 20-25 for each of us. This particular room took me a looooong time as I went through various iterations / attempts to correct the issues. By comparison, I'm already almost done with the next room (with the 2 el gigantes).
Your efforts are much appreciated! Always looking forward to your updates. Also it's really cool to see the enthusiasm you still have for this game after spending so many hundreds of hours with it!
It's probably been answered already but...
How the hell did you find the source for some of the textures?
For instance, there's one door which is one of Seville's cathedral doors and you used it to replace the blurry texture in the original game. How did you find out that was the door you needed?

This is my favorite thread to see new posts added to. Every time it's back on the main page I know I'm going to see something crazy impressive. It's one of my favorite games, and being able to see and some time next year play it looking like this is something that I did not think would ever happen let alone be made real by only two people. I played with your textures Albert back on the original PC release of this game too. Even back on the old version you made the game better.
I'm pretty sure they just walk around until they find it. It's crazy.

I can agree with that. If you're going to up-res everything, you had better prepare for the consequences. *cough*MonkeyIsland*cough*

One more update!
As usual, these are work in progress.

The background relief of that puzzle is fom Palmyra
About finding the original locations... It's all because I've been searching for them during years. And I'm living in one of the cties they visited. For example, I have a few RE4 textures at 15 min away on foot from my home.

Indeed. Honestly, you don't really need all these fancy performance-sapping shader effects in modern games when good texture work and geometry usage goes a long way.

I honestly think Capcom would get a huge sales boost if this was implemented in the upcoming RE4 port for PS4 and XBO. What a waste

Nice progress anyhoo. I can almost taste it already.

"I feel the animals in the Holy Beast puzzle could be re-created in a more realistic way…"
I think they look great, you can redo them if you want but it looked fine to me as it is. The relief behind them stands out a little bit, though. The bright day lighting on the relief doesn't really match up with the torch light in that area, so you can kind of tell that it's a photo that's been inserted. If you can dim the relief a little or alter the color tone to match the surrounding rocks more I think it would look much better.
I think the recreations for the rock and brick surfaces look great, it definitely still has the same feel as the original. I imagine the next room will be a lot harder... I can only imagine how many errors there are going to be in the huge battle area.

albert_re4hd absolutely incredible stuff.
Best fan service for a game ever.
If one game ever deserved such love and attention it would be this.
Every time I see this thread bumped I get excited.

If a person got as much love as RE4 is getting from Albert and Cris, they'd be the most loved person in the world.

Just think about what all the people who will buy the PS4/XBO version will be missing out on. Capcom can't even be bothered to fix the gamma issue they created with the PC version in those ports. White is grey. [https://www.facebook.com/residentev...275861493309/1196838410337044/?type=3&theater
Ada's shoulder should be pure white here. (If it doesn't come up as that picture, scroll through.)
Looks like they added a sharpening filter and called it a day.
Capcom doesn't want to be ashamed by putting in the work of a 3rd party who upstages them. Or probably wants to hit a specific release deadline before RE7 or some other arbitrary bullshit. "Our sharpening filter looks good enough, we promise!"
Fantabulous work as always here. I am ridiculously excited to play RE4 with this mod when it's finished. I check the site at least once a week for updates.

Thank you everyone for your support and comments! 
Hahha oh no! All this chaos is in my head.. and in my hard disk ;P
That's exactly the problem! Thanks!
About the next room, yes, it's full of 3D inaccuracies everywhere but I already got rid of most of them. The textures are quite easy to re-create this time (a lot of them are reused)
They really port UHD bugs to the new port?? :/
Could you post the image? I can't see it
I'm picturing your work room as something like this:

I just had a thought about this. At one point in the battle (after the statue pushing puzzle) Krauser will be waiting behind a corner to ambush Leon (it's right before the gate leading to the drones). His shadow tips the player off to where he is; you'll see it extending around the corner of the building. After this adjustment, is Krauser's shadow still long enough to be seen by the player?
Ha, well please keep a backup either way!

This continues to be incredible, not just for the insanely spot on recreated textures, but for the geometry fixes also. Keep up the crazy good work

It's a crime that albert is still only a junior on this forum. Bump him to full member with a snazzy title, pls.
Anyway, I have a question. Do you just keep a bunch of saves to all the level of the game or do you have access to debug or external tools that can just warp you to whatever level you want in the game?

Interesting question! On my end I played through the game, saving at the applicable spots so I would have access to each room, both before and after clearing out enemies. This resulted in five total *.sav files - one for the Village, and two each for the Castle and the Island. And that's about it!

Interesting. So there's no way to just warp to any given level through a trainer or something?
This is a mod that requires you to buy the game. No reason for Capcom to shut it down. In fact, Capcom has shown support towards it.

Capcom has actually pinned the topic about this texture mod on their RE4 Steam forums. This is just a texture mod, they won't take it down. They've also vocally said that they won't take down mods for their games, but also won't be releasing modding tools in the forseeable future. Mods do require the base game to work and all that.

Oh, I'm not sure if there is or isn't a way to do that - for me this was just the simplest solution.
And of course, I like playing through the game, so it was an enjoyable solution as well.

Nope, you can't see it anymore. I was sure someone would ask this at some point hehe.
So, the question is: Should we keep the long shadow despite the obvious graphical issues?
Thanks! I need to compare it to PC. It really looks like PS4 port has a gamma issue aswell...

This is a good point.
Chris and Albert I've heard too many horror stories of years of work being lost; please say you've got good back-ups I case of PC/Disk failure.
