Remember the Seamless HD Project? You know, the must-have mod that overhauled Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3? Well, great news everyone as the team behind it has released a version that improves the first 1996 RE game.
Going into more details, Resident Evil Seamless HD Project upscales backgrounds with vectorized masks, restores integrated images and texts, and upscales all of the game’s 3D models. Moreover, it brings better in-game screens, improves numerous visual effects, and upscales all menu elements and HQ portraits.
What’s also cool is that this project upscales all the low-resolution live-action videos. Yeap, you can finally enjoy these cheesy live-action videos in all their HD glory.
Now contrary to the RE2 and RE3 mods, Resident Evil Seamless HD Project overhauls the original PC version. The mod is only compatible with Biohazard Mediakite/Ultra2000 Japanese build, so make sure you’re using that one.
So, in order to install Resident Evil Seamless HD Project, you’ll need the Classic REbirth patch for RE1 and the Mediakite V1.01 update for the game. You can find the download links for them on the mod’s ModDB page. Moreover, the team shared the following installation guide video, so make sure to watch it.
All in all, this is a must-have mod for everyone that wants to replay this classic 32-bit Resident Evil game. At this point, Seamless HD Project manages to offer the best “remastered” experience of the first three RE games. This is exactly what all RE fans have been waiting for. Sure, remaking your older games is cool. But replaying these games with proper HD content? Now that’s a true love letter to all Resident Evil fans. So, if you haven’t tried them yet, we highly recommend doing so.
Have fun!
