Modder ‘Ridiculous Death’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption. Ridiculous Death has used neural networks in order to improve the original textures by 4X times and upscales all of the game’s 3147 textures.
As the modder noted, all textures are based on their original versions, meaning that atmosphere is preserved. They were upscaled to 4X resolution with neural networks and then downscaled to meet the 512×512 resolution limit of the engine. As such, they may not look as sharp as they were intended to be (but then again there is nothing that the modder can do as this is an engine limtitation). Furthermore, the UI has a fixed resolution and the modder was unable to replace it.
Those interested can download the HD Texture Pack from here. This pack is 1.3GB in size and if you are not interested in downloading such a big file, you can find below some comparison screenshots between the vanilla (left) and the upscaled (right) textures.
We strongly suggest opening the images in new tabs so you can more easily see the visual differences. There is definitely an improvement here so we highly recommend this pack for all those that want to replay this RPG.
Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption is an RPG that was released in 2000 and is based on the pen-and-paper roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade. The game follows the adventures of a French crusader, Christof Romuald, through Prague and Vienna in the Dark Ages and modern-day London and New York City.
Enjoy!

I want a remake of this game so badly. Bloodlines was cool and all but this is the game that started it all for me. I need to know what happened t o christof & we all could use more Ekaterina and Anezka 😉
what is this game? i never heard or seen it before.
there’s this game that i played during my childhood which you play as a vampire and the first mission was you sleeping somewhere recovering from wounds, is this that game?
Yes.
Guys remember this game had so glorious graphics. One of Christoph hands had some single fingers instead of a lump. THAT WAS HIGH POLY
Still an horrible game.
I keep meaning to finish the game, but every time C and A start talking it’s like being hit broadside by a 99hit combo of over the top romantic dialogue that probably ends at some point, but you just know he’s going to keep talking about how he’s cursed to lust for such a fair maiden… Get a room you two!
The other HD mod for this game looks better, hand crafted (than AI resized): https://www.moddb.com/mods/vtm-redemption-hdtp
Apparently this mod uses that mod as well? Don’t see that in screenshots.
Well done!
Probably compliments my tutorial for using higher resolutions, reshades and more:

short of doing a total converstion in a modern engine I may have to skip ever playing this again. Just wait for the new one
This game was the coolest RPG ever made in 2000.
it’s the worst implementation to date….it seems basically almost the same…
Is there a list of games already improved with textures?
What a waste of processing power. Looks horrible
