ERSGAN and Topaz Gigapixel are two AI techniques that, at least in our opinion, should be used for most – if not all – classic games. Thanks to these AI techs, older games can benefit from better and more detailed textures that retain the original style of the game.
Now since Resident Evil 3 is a hot topic, especially after the rumours circulating a possible remake, Resetera’s member ‘Nefer‘ has experimented with ESRGAN and released screenshots showing some of the game’s backgrounds being enhanced by the AI.
The end result is amazing and we’d really love to see such a Texture Pack properly release. Nefer said that he used the Gamecube version in order to enhance these backgrounds and used the “ESRGAN interp_05” model.
Since Nefer is experimenting with the Gamecube version, he may indeed release a HD Texture Pack similar to what we’ve already gotten for Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2 and Resident Evil Code Veronica X.(though to be honest I’d prefer a pack for the PC and not for the Gamecube version, but still).
Enjoy the comparison screenshots and stay tuned for more!

Maybe it’s easier to mod the game on the gamecube version
I think it’s more that the GameCube version is more common. Every RE game up to 4 is on GameCube IIRC, back from that “Capcom 5” era where they were apparently trying to consolidate their entire library onto the thing.
It’s not that, it’s that Gamecube emulator Dolphin is more mod friendly than the PC version of RE3
God damn it, every time I see a RE3 image I think it’s a remake announcement.
Don’t worry, all the remakes are coming, RE2R did incredibly well.
You still need an announcement to know its coming. Its coming 1000000%, especially after the overwhelming response of Resident Evil 2 Remake.
I’m sure they will do another remake, what’s I’m not sure about is which one.
Next one is probably Resident Evil 3 Remake. Then they can go back to RE 0, 1 and Code Veronica.
i want survivor…ouch stop throwing your keyboards at me it would be fun as a fps.
RE0 and 1 don’;t need remakes. Only a non-fan would say that they would remake those games.

Lots of scratches and artifacts. Manga09 produces better results.
IT’s been a long time since I played RE3. Where was that dead tyrant at? Somewhere in like the factory area near the final Nemesis battle?
