A lot of gamers have been asking for a remaster or a remake of Resident Evil 5. And until that happens, PC gamers can enjoy RE5 with mods, something that will give them a glimpse at what a remaster may look like.
YouTube’s ‘AwesomeMods’ has released new HD Texture Packs for this RE game. These packs cover all enemies, weapons and the main characters. As such, you can find HD textures for Chris, Jill, Wesker, Sheva and more.
Sadly, this pack does not overhaul any of the environmental textures. Not only that but the Ultimate HD Edition Mod is no longer available for download. That’s a bummer as that pack brought major improvements to the game’s environments. And that’s why we always recommend downloading the packs the moment we share them.
Anyway, you can go ahead and download these packs from here. To install them, you’ll just have to download and extract them in your game folder.
To improve the textures, the modder used AI tools to upscale the original textures. As such, the new modded textures retain the art style of the vanilla ones. This is crucial as RE5 has a distinct look.
Before closing, the modder also shared a video, showcasing what RE5 looks like without its Yellow Filter. To be honest, I’m against removing it. This Yellow Filter gives RE5 a unique art style. So, while it’s cool witnessing what the game looks like without it, I suggest playing it WITH the Yellow Filter.
Going one step further, PC gamers can also use Reshade to further improve the game’s graphics. Reshade Ray Tracing uses depth information from the screen to create “ray tracing” effects. These effects are not as accurate as the native ray tracing found in most modern games. However, they can still improve the game’s lighting and shadows. With Reshade RT, you can make a game’s Global Illumination and Ambient Occlusion look even better. And, since RE5 is a really old title, it can greatly benefit from it.
Enjoy!

gotta admit, that does look better.
Now you can punch a boulder in bright colors.
Stupid John just linked to RE5 page on Nexus mods, not any particular mod, and also doesn't know how to use the internet as @webpcmasterlrp:disqus show.
It's probably this mod: 4k Enemies HD Textures WIP, link: https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil5goldedition/mods/327?tab=files
That's only for enemies. There are separate packs for the main characters and weapons. I've updated the link (which now leads you to the modder's NexusMods page, so you can download all of them).
I saw that, it’s so stupid making a separate mod for each character, ugh.
Last we heard Capcom is looking to remake every single RE game right?
meaning:
RE1
Code Veronica
RE5
Yup, but prioritizing the older ones with tank controls, I would fit Zero in that list.
Oh right, zero. I bought that game for gamecube ages ago, I should really play it ^^
Do you happen to know if RE 5 has the same tank controls like RE 4 did? Or does it have a more modern TPS setup like Dead Space and RE 4 remake have.
I remember it like something in the middle, a move towards modern TPS but still retaining some clunkiness of the tank controls from 4.

Awesome, I'm pinning the comment at the top.
I was just going to post this, because John has dementia and forgot how to use a search engine.
they will never, ever remake RE5. not as it is, anyway.
if they do, it won't be set in Africa. no way Capcom risks a similar kerfuffle post-Twitter / post-CancelCulture. kind of a sad state of affairs when art can't be made because some of the rabble don't like it … but what do I know.
Sorry I didn't realize the link to the HD pack was already posted…
