The favorite classic Resident Evil from 1997 has received a remarkable update with an HD Texture Pack crafted by modder ‘SonicB00M’. This enhancement promises to transform the visuals, bringing fresh life to the iconic game that many fans hold dear. If you’ve ever wished to revisit this survival horror gem in a new light, now’s your chance.
This texture pack utilizes backgrounds sourced from the Seamless HD Project and original artwork at 240p resolution. SonicB00M dedicated approximately six months to perfecting these visuals through impressive AI tools and thousands of manual adjustments.
For those eager to see what this mod can do, comparison screenshots are available here. These images will give you a clear idea of the enhancements made. Remember that this mod will need the Seamless HD Project to function correctly.
A similar texture pack is also available for Resident Evil 2, enabling fans to experience both games with beautifully refined backgrounds. It’s like stepping back into your childhood while enjoying current graphics, a rewarding combination for longtime players. Some may express concerns about using AI technology for these restorations. However, since Capcom no longer possesses the original assets for those backgrounds, employing AI seems necessary. Thus, it could be seen as an opportunity rather than a setback, allowing us access to enhanced versions of our cherished classics.
