One of the most impressive mods is Project HD Resident Evil 4, a full and polished rebuild of Capcom’s horror shooter, and it’s finally coming to fruition. The developers announced the plan to release version 1.0 on February 2, 2022. The care and attention to detail of this mod is amazing, it looks so much better than the makeover version. official Capcom and Resident Evil 4 VR recently, and I can hardly wait to play RE4 with it again.
Years in production (first version released in 2014), HD Project is really amazing. The team of two did and reworked every texture in the game, reworked many of the models, edited the lighting, fixed some of the textures and models that were present even in the official HD version and re-added features that have been eliminated by portals for many years. Many ‘HD’ mods also make similar efforts, but this has an impressive devotion to following the original style of the game, which is still all that nagging and overkill. And instead of just replacing textures with high-resolution versions that broadly convey the same material, they often accurately recreate the same textures, details in places. same. Looks like Resident Evil 4, better. It definitely puts GTA remake embarrassing.
The part that impressed me most was how often they traced and photographed the buildings, surfaces, furniture, wallpaper, and other objects that Capcom artists base their photographs on, recreating process with high resolution results:

Here’s a developer update video from December 2020, showing the final chapter of the game:
“The date is drawing near… I know some of you may be feeling a bit disappointed when you see the release date, but trust me, it will be worth the extra month of waiting,” Albert Marin said in notification release date February 2.
He revealed v1.0 will build on fixes from other RE4 modders to overcome the game’s technical limitations. So now it will be possible to have “full HD” versions of the pre-rendered cutscenes remastered, the items in the inventory will be their fully detailed models, which will allow you to control Adjust the FoV to your liking, the HUD will operate at a suitable ultra-high resolution, it will allow you to restore the blurred depth of field from the original release and more.
Resident Evil 4 still available 75% off Steam Fall Sale in a few hours, ending at 6pm (10am Pacific), so I’d buy it now if you haven’t already. The mod will be free to download from RE4 HD Project Website.
Rumors have been circulating that Capcom is remaking Resident Evil 4, following the success of their other remakes. The RE4HD team has unbiased by this, indicating that the remakes have remade the games and that the original RE4 still deserves high marks. That is. Great game. And they obviously beat Capcom on that.
