Modding Community Putting HD Textures Into Resident Evil 4

Posted by samzenpus on from the making-it-pretty dept.

jones_supa writes: The Ultimate HD Edition of Resident Evil 4 does not fully adhere to its name, as terrain textures are actually not in high definition. A couple of fans called Cris and Albert are chipping in to help fix this deficiency. The pair is working for free to create the RE4 HD Project, a mod which is cleaning up the game's chunky textures and producing some nice and sharp screenshots. At present, it looks like the project is already about half complete, and an HD texture pack for the Village section of the game is available at the project website.

      Graphics matter. Anybody who doesn't think so is a luddite and should maybe consider that the whole "technology" world might not be for them.

      Advances in graphics and advances in the quality of games have frequently gone hand in hand over the years. Wing Commander wasn't massively more advanced than the space-combat bits of Elite, but it felt like a whole new experience thanks to the graphics and presentation. At the other end of the timeline, if you have the horsepower to run the PC version of The Witcher 3 on full settings, you'll get probably the most immersive experiences ever made - which complements the gameplay nicely.

      Admittedly, you can have a good game without good graphics; I can think of a handful of fairly recent titles that have managed it (Super Meat Boy, Thomas Was Alone), but those tend to be the exceptions. By and large, the "graphics doesn't matter" indie scene has given us a bunch of shoddy, derivative "retro-sprite-art pseudo-8-bit roguelikes" to clog up the Steam storefront. As I get older and more cynical, I increasingly find that a lazy approach towards graphics on the part of a developer usually translates into a lazy attitude towards the broader design.

      In the specific case of the Resident Evil 4 remaster, I can sort-of see the point. RE4 was a seminal game that brought in a lot of wider changes to the survival horror genre. In the long run, I think you can argue that most of those changes (the greater action focus, the upgrade systems) were detrimental to the genre; but that doesn't diminish how important (and how good) RE4 was. The problem with going back to older games, however, is that graphics can turn into an immersion-breaker. Visuals which seemed fine a decade ago frequently look horrible to eyes used to modern games (and resolution upscaling can be particularly unforgiving in exposing flaws). I've lost count of the number of times I've gone back to an old game and been shocked at how much worse it looks compared to the game from my memories. So making some improvements to enable people to go back to the game without that sense of disconnect is no bad thing.

      But it is, I would argue, something Capcom should have done for the re-release. Not something that should be left to the community.

      The fact that "HD" carefully avoids meaning anything specific, while vaguely suggesting better sensory experiences worth paying more for, is obnoxious; but that doesn't change the fact that time has not been kind to some games; and some of the sins that phosphor dots and analog video used to smear into a warm glow just turn into a swarm of razor-sharp jagged pixels and offend your eyes mercilessly on newer hardware.

      Generally speaking, I'd say you can consider an "HD texture" to be any in-game texture where you can't see the individual pixels sized significantly greater than the native resolution of your screen. That is, if it looks blocky on-screen, it's not HD.

      There's no way to say exactly what resolution this entails, because it all depends on how far away the camera can get during typical gameplay, combined with how far the artist stretched a single texture across a given set of geometry. Naturally, the bar as been raised quite a bit with 4K monitors and resolutions, but I think most people would still consider never seeing a scaled texture at 1080p to be a pretty good visual experience.

      I have been reading that since the nineties. It always was fairly ridiculous but I increasingly agree for a couple reasons :

      - What's the gameplay difference between a game from 2000 and one from 2015? Very little. You run around gunning down people, talking to people, picking up stuff etc. Tech got you bigger terrain etc. but I will say that peaked in year 2004 (arbitrarily)

      - No need to upgrade a PC. Back in the days when you upgraded for gaming you gained new non-gaming features, such as the ability to watch movies. Or enough RAM for high duty multitasking (on single core, single thread)
      Nowadays most PC can do video conference, video editing (even if only in SD), 3D modeling, high res picture editing etc. but aren't powerful enough to run games.

      - Where are the low budget published games? By low budget I actually mean something closer to one or a few million dollars than 100 million, and by published I mean sold in stores in a small cardboard box. I get that there are myriads of indie games but you have to buy and download them on the internet, and I'd be ok with that if they followed the old shareware model (so you can try them!). Well, even shareware often had a publisher like Apogee.
      Who wants to buy a book that didn't go through a publisher? All books have a publisher (or editor), almost.
      I grew up with 320x200 games and 640x480 games that had high production value, despite the low tech (2D, 3D, palettized colors, uncompressed 11KHz sound data..)

      You have indie games that don't even try to look serious, they look like a 1980s game with cheesy HD graphics, you pay three dollars/euros to buy one on Steam, run it once then never again ; the money is entirely wasted, you can't even give the game away. It has negative value as it's wasting space in Steam's list (and HDD space if you don't delete it).
      Or you can get the latest Call of Dooty shitfest and so on.

      Really?

      I went back and played the original X-Com again (for the first time in a decade or so) after I finished the remake. And what I found was a game whose graphics hadn't held up quite so badly as others of a similar vintage, but whose gameplay was showing serious signs of age.

      On the tactical side, squads felt overly large, micromanagement was excessive by any reasonable estimation and the random number generator was allowed to become far too dominant in determining the outcome of combat. The need to play "hunt the last alien" before you could successfully complete a mission made certain missions, particularly some of the terror missions with complex cityscapes, an absolute grind.

      By contrast, the remake is slicker and smarter. I felt like it was doing more than the old X-Com to make me use all of my assets in the field and was striking a more appropriate balance between luck and skill. Moreover, with the troopers being a little less vulnerable and having more defined traits to carry over between missions, I felt a sense of connection with my squad that was missing in the old game.

      Now, the remake isn't perfect; I think allowing an extra 2 soldiers in the tactical squads (so 8 rather than 6) would have struck a better balance. The strategic game is undeniably less sophisticated than in the original (though also less repetitive in the late-game stages).

      But on balance, I would rank the remake as being the better game, in objective terms - and in terms of both gameplay and graphics. Admittedly, the original was a far more striking game when it was first released and had a genre-defining impact that the remake didn't. But put them side by side and I'd take the remake.

Part of that is, yes, to NOT absolutely shit all over the game by running it on an HD TV or, god forbid, an emulator (who the hell does that?) and lay bare all the scaffolding of the stage.

      And I'll pre-empt the mandatory comment about the size of a CRT TV here: I wonder if anyone saying that still lives with their parents in a small room with no space for anything. Also some CRT's are tiny in size with the added benefit of making games look sharper in the right way.

      Anyway, this HD re-texture is a valliant effort for sure, if not for the fact that all it does is turn RE4 from an amazing gamecube game, into a retextured last-gen looking PC game.

I know in Fallout 3 and NV that I found few good texture packs that I liked, either they added lots of clutter or you needed the full set with hours of downloading. Skyrim had a free official HD DLC that was ok I think; not as high def as some gamers would like, but much more than you'd get on the basic DVD, and it was nicely integrated.

      The attitude of what graphics are needed or not may or may not be a problem. In some games the lower quality sometimes is distracting. Sometimes the original developers were worried that the target computers would not handle higher graphics and deliberately lowered them (case in point, System Shock 2 with really low polygon counts). If you're in a shooter type of game, then I don't think graphics count for much honestly, there are so many distractions that nearby textures aren't vital. For open exploration games the textures matter more, but even more important is how things look from a distance which works well even with lower definition textures, and high def textures can distract too at times.

    If we can see well, our daily life treats us with a good amount of eye candy. So, if we couldn't see the texture on a object any better than what was released on that game, we would get glasses, or stronger glasses.

    It's projects like this that make good game better.

      Could is different than should.

  12. Erm, where did those textures come from? by ComputerGeek01 · · Score: 1

    Some of those textures, specifically the gravel roads, the sack skins and the cut stone, look like they were ripped from Skyrim. Now I know and understand why there will be some convergence of style regarding art assets, but looky here: http://www.re4hd.com/wp-conten... the sandbag ontop of the pile right next to the ladder. Tell me that doesn't look just a little too familiar.

    Some people buy cars and then trick them out with all sorts of aftermarket kit. Much of which is only for looks.

    It's their time/money to spend as they see fit.

  14. Who cares? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Seriously, who cares?!? If it was a total re-vamp of something like RE 3, or RE code V. Then sure! But RE 4 broke the spirit of what RE was all about. It turned a zombie-survival-mystery-horror game into a "lets-shoot-the-poor-non-english-speaking-villagers" game. It was HORRIBLE!!! It is "the"game that made me stop playing RE games entirely! RE 5 in Africa? Seriously? Now it's "lets-shoot-the-poor-BLACK-villages" game...

    I want the original RE feel back to the game. So modders out there, turn RE 4 and 5 into something not so suck-fest and bring back the zombies and T-virus please.
