Resident Evil 4 HD Project - Progress Thread [Update: Releasing Feb 2nd, 2022]

Yorxor · Nov 21, 2017

Man, I'm so so looking forward to replaying Resi 4 with your glorious mod. I've been (silently) following your progress since the beginning at the other place that shall not be named. Absolutely stellar work!

Is there a rough estimate when you will get to the character retexture part? I cannot wait.

We never think about time, we simply keep doing progress as fast as we can, so I'm afraid I have not an answer for your question

Thank you guys! For your patience and comments.

This is my FINAL attempt:

Take a look at the new screenshots in our website www.re4hd.com ;)

And this is an explanatory map:

Impressive update. This is like some fucking magic lol

I fucking love the new lighting! Things looked overexposed in the before shot. The new shot looks more natural and coherent to real world lights.

Good stuff.

I'm curious, did you have to do anything special to new area that allows the enemy AI to go there, like mark the ladder or the new walkway as a valid path, or does the AI just work with the new stuff?

Good question!
At the beggining the enemies stopped just in front of the lader and they didn't follow me. I needed to edit a RTP file coordinate so they reach the ladder. Then they automatically climb it and follow me :)

And one more update!

Easter egg in the video :P

HaHa.

Amazing as usual, Albert.

Deleted member 29237 · Dec 3, 2017

Man this looks amazing, I felt Separate Ways in particular looked really shoddy in the HD version. Great work as usual!

Ryan7556 · Dec 3, 2017

As much as I'm looking forward to seeing all the environment textures redone, I think i may be anticipating the HD character textures even more (and the environmental textures already got me pretty hyped for the full release).

How About No · Dec 3, 2017

I think this is way more attention to detail than Separate Ways deserves, but damn if it doesn't look nice, wow

I think it's because they used the PS2 assets for every version after it, starting with the Wii version

Like people back then were noticing the herbs and other items looked crappier too

Easter egg in the video :P

This is a tiny thing, but the body bag disappears just before the door fully slams on it at about 16:25 in the video. Are you able to fix that?

Wow, you have good eyes. I had to check by frames to notice.

It's gone during the short bounce of the door.

Deleted member 11093 · Dec 3, 2017

Incredible work as usual!

What's the easter egg?

Look carefully as the briefcase/inventory opens ;)

Kyle Cross · Dec 3, 2017

It'd be nuts if you could somehow get HDR into the game, but I'm guessing that's a super complicated process.

Hehe I didn't notice it either. I don't know how to fix it (I'm not sure which file makes the bag model to disappear at that precise moment). But I suspect they did it on purpose to avoid clipping issues with the cover model ¿? because the bag is moving a lot up and down... It's just a guess...

Sorry.... I have no idea if that's possible right now ^_^'''

Oh, haha. I didn't see it until I slowed down the video.

Deleted member 3888 · Dec 4, 2017

any plans to improve the grain filter? the ingame one kind of ruins the image quality imo

These kind of edits are somehow risky because they are based mostly on personal taste. For example, I don't have any probelm with that effect, I like it. But I agree there are certain areas the grain is too big for HD resolutions.
It can be adjusted to make it look smaller. I can adjust the size and transparency level. Every room has its own grain values.

For example I adjusted the grain filter in the Novistador's sewer area (After Ashley gets trapped in that wall) and you can see the grain is smaller now in that room if you install our Castle pack.
So, I guess I'll adjust it in some other areas aswell :)

good to hear you're looking into it! yeah the grain looking too big is my issue with it

And here go the last Separate Ways rooms!

All feedback will be very welcomed as usual! :)

TeenageFBI · Dec 17, 2017

My feedback is that you guys are still awesome and your project looks incredible.

berryman69 · Dec 17, 2017

It all looks so good. Put some of those baked shadows in campaign for sure!

Good improvements. Why did you alter the placement of the rocket launcher?

Dreamboum · Dec 18, 2017

What's the music that starts when Ada goes OoB in the video ?

Oops! We replaced the lowpoly to hipoly model... it was an accident :P

That's Separate Ways Ending Theme

LabouredSubterfuge · Dec 19, 2017

Great to hear you guys are looking at the grain.

Vanta Aurelius · Dec 19, 2017

albert_re4hd, what's next on the docket now that you have finished your first pass through Separate Ways? Will you be returning to polishing the main campaign? You've touched every portion of this game at this point right?

Anyway, I'm loving the work you've poured into the Separate Ways campaign! Everything looks fantastic!

Now I'm touching-up all lights and effects of the Island areas (I learned how to edit these type of files when I was editing the final Island stages) and remastering the Assignment Ada rooms at the same time :)

albert_re4hd · Jan 15, 2018

Here goes the first 2018 update! :-D

http://www.re4hd.com/?p=5686

JustAnotherOne · Jan 15, 2018

I have RE4 sitting in my steam library for YEARS and I wait for this amazing project's release to play it for the first time (will play the previous games before it too as I didn't play them yet,hopefully the remake of 2 will be available by then).

Parsnip · Jan 15, 2018

Good update.

Drain You · Jan 15, 2018

Looks incredible. Hopefully my aging desktop can still max this at 1080.

jelly · Jan 15, 2018

Excellent work. RE4 - ACE

Yunyo · Jan 15, 2018

Years later I still love the choice to change the language of the signs to Spanish.

Wiggles · Jan 15, 2018

Will it be possible to add in ambient occlusion? I tried a couple of years ago with Nvidia Inspector but couldn't find a hexadecimal code which worked. I don't think Reshade supports this games depth buffer either (might have changed).

Ahasverus · Jan 15, 2018

Game's almost done right?

Capcom should pay you for this and then make it the original version. It's, simply put it, the best HD remake this game could ever have.

Amauri14 · Jan 15, 2018

Fantastic work as always Albert!

SomeoneSomewhere · Jan 15, 2018

Great work, pal.

Megasoum · Jan 15, 2018

I've been thinking about playing that game for a while now... I had it on Gamecube but never finished it...

Now I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for the mod or just play it as is...

potatohead · Jan 15, 2018

Feedback: Albert is my god

Hero of Winds · Jan 15, 2018

Looks incredible. Definitely gonna give RE4 another playthrough when this releases. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the updated character models will look, personally.

super moustique · Jan 15, 2018

I'm still looking forward to this !

Happy new year to the team by the way :)

KimonoNoNo · Jan 15, 2018

As always great work guys.

Was it some kind of transparency issue that made those original bullets look so naff?

MasterVampire · Jan 15, 2018

An update!

Been waiting for update.

Good update.

jelly · Jan 15, 2018

Wow at the gun belt.

Don't forget Cris who is also helping out.

I still hope Capcom will officially release this with your permission to all capable platforms. They do love selling another version of RE4!

Nerrel · Jan 15, 2018

Oh my.

That original texture with the railings painted on is just adorable.

I don't think much has happened. There was someone who got AO working by using GeDoSaTo a few years back, but I'm not sure how well it works throughout the whole game. My hope is that the finished release of this mod will inspire people to take another look at effects mods.

Cybersai · Jan 15, 2018

So is this going to be official with Capcom support?

CopperPuppy · Jan 15, 2018

The only thing that kept me from a replay last year was wanting to hold off for this update.

Can't wait!
