Holy crap, this is amazing!! I never thought a mod like this would come, in fact I just recently beat the game for the first time. Some of the backgrounds were really bad looking and clashed with the high res character textures. Well I can't wait to play it with this mod installed next time!
I'm wondering if this program could also upscale the Resident Evil 3 Sourcenext PC release backgrounds. (I'm playing RE games in order and after finishing RE2 Remake I'm moving to RE3.)

You should take a look at this www.moddb.com/mods/resident-evil-3-restoration-projectI use it for my PC version and it is just simply amazing looking.

Can't believe I just noticed this mod now! This mod rather looks like a proper remaster of the game.

This mod is incredible, just finished a Jill play through with it and I'm half way done with a Chris. Pretty flawless overall! I'll never play without it for sure. Could this process be applied to the textures on the 3D models? the backgrounds looked so good it really made me notice the blurry textures on them.

I want to do an update with upscaled textures of the 3D models like the moving walls, the statues, etc. and revisions of some of the backgrounds. So, that’s the plan but I’ll be quite busy for a few months and it won’t be coming soonish 😕.

Hey there, I hope you all are enjoying the mod because this project is not done yet. After the release of the v1.0 I have been working on the next version of the mod and the next update, v1.5, will include: - UI improvements with support for Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish languages. The current mods only work with the English version, so I plan to include support for the rest of languages without needing external mods.
- An install check from the main menu to easily show that the mod is correctly installed.
 - Improved and tweaked backgrounds by combining new Gigapixel upscales with ESRGAN ones (fullscreen comparison here):
 - Some backgrounds manually improved by using a graphics tablet:
 - It will also include some fixes that I didn’t notice for the first release due to them being small parts of Capcom’s new backgrounds (fullscreen comparison here):
- Upscaled textures for the 3D interactable models (statues, moving walls, etc.). The HD Remaster texture is 512x512 and the new one is a 1024x1024 upscale from the Gamecube 256x256 original texture with both Gigapixel and ESRGAN (still WIP, will be tweaked with the graphics tablet):
This is a cropped image of the base of the statue in a three-way comparison:  Also, I think I should talk about the limitations of the game and how it affects the mod. The 2D textures (menus, backgrounds, HUD elements) seem to have a hardcoded resolution and increasing or modifying the aspect ratio results on a cropped and zoomed image. So, I can’t modify or fix stuff like the pixelated text from the main menu or try to make the save typewriter screen work in 16:9 (If anyone around here knows how to overcome those engine limitation, please send me a PM). The 3D models don’t seem to have that kind of limits, so those textures will be twice the resolution of the original. There’s no ETA due to me being quite busy for the next few months but if everything goes as planned, it should be out by summer. I will be posting small snippets as I keep making progresses at the mod's blog.

Awesome news shiryu , your mod in its current state is already the best way to experience the game graphics-wise, but I'm looking to seeing what you've got in store for us! I'll definitely be following your blog closely for any update until you find the time to release the next version of the project. Thank you again for you hard work and for spending more time and energy on improving and fixing this masterpiece of a game!

I imagine changing the aspect ratio of the menus would require something like hex editing. I've also noticed that some elements of the inventory screen, for example, are not present in the texture files you can modify. For example, the game somehow creates a shadow for item icons to cast automatically. Also, I don't know how far you intend to go with the menus, but some require a little extra work, color-wise: residentevilmodding.boards.net/post/101922/thread

Also, fix the texture of the File menu because the font used doesn’t have accents and the Spanish, French and Italian have that font mixed with Arial and it looks hideous. The menus themselves are already okayish and with your Icon mod they look great, so I don’t think it’s worth doing more, at least for the moment, but maybe I’ll try after finishing what I have planned for the next release.

The MEGA account doesn't have enough room and they're asking to upgrade to a paid account. Is this really necessary?
Thanks.

Oh, that. That single link download needs a premium account. I just deleted it so now the only links on the blog are those that doesn't require one. Use any of the interchangeable links (Google Drive, MEGA, 1fichier or 4shared), you won't need to create an account and they have good download speeds.
