A Resident Evil 4 fan who spent eight years making an HD mod for the game has landed his first industry job, with a developer that specialises in retro remasters.

The mod replaces almost every texture in the game with new high-resolution textures, and replaces a number of flat objects with new 3D models.

For some of the textures, Martin actually travelled to the same locations in Spain and Wales where Capcom took photography, and took the photos again so he could make higher resolution assets that were as accurate as possible.The mod promises to make the game look significantly better than it ever has

In his update, Martin noted that he “can’t wait to play” Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 4, which is out this week, stressing that in his mind the remake will never replace the original because “they are two different experiences”.calls the game “a faithful restoration of an all-time classic”, adding: “Resident Evil 4 is a careful restoration of what remains one of the most compelling action games ever made.

“The core elements which make the original such a masterpiece are all here, reminding us that sometimes the secret for these big re-releases is knowing where to remake, and where to remaster.”

Love seeing modders get hired

Is there any chance or any info about Dino Crisis will be Remade? Or remastered?

Just say nightdive theres just one company that does this stuff

copy and past without the ¥ ! 😏🫡

My only disappointment with all of this is the fact that Capcom didnt reach out to the guys that made this mod and made it official. They did something like that years ago with Megaman vs Street Fighter and im confused why they didnt do it here.

do people think this guy is going to have a meaningful say in the development/choices made for these remasters lmao? re4hd is a masterful project, made great because he had full control over it but now he will be a cog in a machine making soulless remakes for a big corp

Love to see it

W, especially since his work would have just been rendered kinds pointless with the official remake coming out.

Wish i had the same chances, ill keep working on what i dont like to fullfil my dreams, it is a long road.

He spent 10 years making the mod, he totally deserves this win.

Nice! You love to see it.

RE4 HD project started long before 2014. Perhaps you mean the newer version for RE4 HD. The mod was originally for RE4 Ubisoft port and then before it was finished it was restarted for RE4 HD.

That sounds awesome

Awesome! Super happy for him!

All modders deserve a job

We love that

My king. Been following since the early days on Facebook. So happy to hear they will get recognition for their hard work

They should remaster NFS Most Wanted.

I'm glad he's getting to do what he loves for a living.

ChimeraCorner Oh neat. I was wondering what would happen to him since, uh, the official remake is a thing now.

The RE4 HD Project is out of this world, it is amazing how much it improves the game's visual. I wish nothing but the best for everyone involved.

If only Rockstar had respect for the modders.

That mod is stellar. Good for him, and whichever project he's joining. 👏

Amazing news, though slightly concerned if the job will not allow him to get samples and things that let him mod so good in the first place. Regardless, good story!
