What is REupscale project?

 REupscale project is a mod that upscales and corrects, using Topaz’s A.I. Gigapixel, the background textures of Resident Evil HD Remaster.
The textures are the kept at the same original resolution (1920x1440) but they are obtained by downsampling images twice that resolution. Some textures use the Gamecube original source (~90%) while others are upscaled from the HD Remastered texture (~10%).
Here are a few screenshots showing the results:

I have set two gallery pages. One contains some screenshots comparing it with the original, both in-game and some textures, and the other a few videos of the mod in action.

 Status of the Mod

 The mod is complete, therefore, the whole game is fully playable from start to finish, but I can't guarantee that it's a bug-free experience. So far, I have completed a run with Jill and I'm in the middle of one with Chris and I have yet to find any bug that wasn't present in the original game.
Edit (06/02): Finished the run with Chris without encountering any bugs.

Please, use this page or the Contact Form to report any issue.

 Contents of the Mod

 The release contains more than 1600 replaced textures, between gameplay and cutscenes. However, not all the textures have been upscaled, the rooms that Capcom redid as 3D rendered rooms have not been modified.
The download links can be found here, offered in Mega, Google Drive, 1fichier and 4shared, alongside with the instructions to install the mod.

 That's all, I hope you like it!

    Wow, this looks so cool. Going to try it soon. Are there plans to do the same for RE Zero?

      Why would you NEED one for RE0? Its HD port was made by actually re-rendering the original 3D files at MUCH higher resolution, meaning the vanilla backgrounds are already crisp and sexy as heck.

      As name less said there's no need to do it for RE0. It already looks so much better than 1, due to Capcom having the original assets.

    It would be a great idea, to recreate in HD some 3D textures, like the ones of the characters, like in RE4 Restoration Project.

      The next release will include new textures for the 3D objects, as I explained here: https://reupscaleproject.blogspot.com/2019/02/status-update.html.
      The characters look decent enough considering that the camera never gets as close as it does in RE4, but maybe I’ll take a look at it after finishing v1.5.

REupscale Project v1.5a Released

Hey, it’s been a while.  Today I'm releasing the first batch of the v1.5 update. I have been working quite intensively during the quarantine and most of the work I did last year has been redone.  This update includes the following: New Upscaled Backgrounds Around 600 textures have been replaced by using new upscales combining both AI Gigapixel and ESRGAN. This includes several rooms of the three floors of the mansion, the basement, the dormitory, the aqua ring as well as the vast majority of the laboratory.  Fixed Animated Backgrounds Some of the animated backgrounds like the fireplace have only two frames. In v1.0 due to the upscale with Gigapixel, those two frames ended up a little different and during the animation there were some differences that were not present on the original. In v1.5 this issue has been fixed by recreating the frames in a way that only the changes of each frame are shown without any issue.  I have also modified the animated ba...

Nexus Mods & Status Update

Hey, I have uploaded the mod to the Nexus Mods' Resident Evil HD page so, if you don't like the current download methods, you can use their service to get the mod. Here's the link: https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilbiohazardhdremaster/mods/6 . I've also added a Mediafire single-link mirror to the download page. About the mod : It's still being worked on, but the progress has slow down quite a bit because I'm really busy with irl stuff. However, I expect to post some progress update in a few weeks. Here's a small breakdown of how are things at the moment: Backgrounds:  I'm redoing some of the worst looking backgrounds of the v1.0 release, restoring some losts details and fixing some shimmering issues with the animated backgrounds. That takes quite time because I need to manually do it with the graphics tablet and in the case of the animated backgrounds, most of them have 30 frames per background so it's really laborious. 3D Objects: Until...
