Modder TEXremaster has just put out a cool new HD Texture Pack for Resident Evil 5. It’s called the Ultimate HD Edition. This mod aims to make all the game’s textures look way better, and the early changes he has made already look awesome.
The latest version of the Ultimate HD Edition improves the quality of all the main characters and enemies. It also overhauls the textures in the first five maps. That’s until the end of Chapter 1-2.
Even though it’s not finished, you can already see and enjoy the detailed new textures in the game. TEXremaster worked on improving almost everything in the early levels, and it looks really good. So, even if it’s not complete, we suggest trying it out.
The bad news is, we’re not sure if or when the modder will finish this project. What’s a bit frustrating is that TEXremaster said he’d keep working on it only if he got some donations. I get that updating all the textures in the game is a lot of work, but it seems like he’s using AI to make them look better, not creating new ones from scratch. Using AI to upgrade the original textures is a bit easier. Plus, we’ve always been against paid mods. And even though this mod isn’t held behind a paywall, its future remains uncertain.
If you want to get it, you can click on this link. And if you want to see how it looks before downloading, we have some pictures that compare the old and new graphics, as well as a video showing it in action down below.
Enjoy!
