‘Resident Evil 4 HD Project’ Available Now [Trailer]

Published

on

Until Capcom finally decides to reveal that rumoured remake of Resident Evil 4, we have the fan-made Resident Evil 4 HD Project, which is available today. The mod overhauls almost every aspect of the game’s graphics, improving the textures, models, lighting, visual effects and more.

The creators have stressed that this is not a remake, but a remaster of the original game. This is considered an improvement over Capcom’s own Ultimate HD Edition that was released back in 2014 on Steam, which featured some upgraded visuals, but still lacked in key areas.

Not only are the visuals improved/fixed, but the team behind the project has also fixed some lingering “sound bugs and broken/missing effects,” which the team chalks up to the numerous ports of the game.

To get this new remaster up and running, you’ll need to own the original Resident Evil 4 on Steam, either version 1.0.6 or 1.1.0. Then, hit up the official HD Project page, download the files, and follow the directions on how to get things installed. And in case you were wondering, the HD Project won’t affect achievements or game saves.

And just in case you missed the earlier news, Resident Evil 4 VR has received an update that adds a bunch of new accessibility options to the game.

Upcoming Narrative Horror Title ‘Still Wakes the Deep’ Getting PS5 Physical Version

Published

Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.

Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.

Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.

Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.

And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
