That's great, but I wish I could sharpness down the texture a bit.
Because it's too sharp

 

[LuismaSP89]

You increased the brightness in the HD textures version to do the comparison screenshots? Or it's like that by default, because they are so much brighter. I think the game loss a lot of the original atmosphere with that.

Other than that, the textures looks nice, good work : )

 

[rantex92]

nice work i know how much work it is to do texturemods BUT sadly like other stated its slightly too sharp and the textures are a bit brighter but my guess the culprit is the conversion to 24bit colors

another idea would be to use the textures from the "best" version of the game the pc " sh2 enhanced edition" by the townsofsilenthill comunity theyve done an incredible work

 

[JuanchoTexHD]

EDIT: i work on everything minus the fonts

nice one *_* i look forward to play your mod when its finished but i thought enhanced edition came with upscaled textures anyway how far will you go resolution wise? what ai do you use ? upscaling or redraw?

The progress is slow as i spend a lot of time to achieve the best results. But i hope the major part of the game (closed levels, not the town itself) will be finished by the end of the year.

Enhanced edition only has interface and quest/memo backgrounds upscaled. Textures are exactly the same as they were in 2002 pc port of the game. I use mostly ESRGAN with denoising/cleaning and manual editing if necessary.
The upscale is 4x (with some rare cases of 8x).

yesterday ive looked into the whole silenthill modding and damm the "sh texture explorer" is horrible to use i wish there was a function to extract everything at ones not just one by one

EDIT: If you ever need help just throw me the textures iwill redraw them with topaz a.i

EDIT: TYPE 2 corrected, new ones on header, no more changes.

 

[LuismaSP89]

TYPE 2 comparison> darker near as original but more crisp and definition, caps are with brightness LV3 in options

Very nice, improved a lot, indeed. Maybe too much color and everything too saturated for a game like that. But I like things like the USA flag and the other flag of the James clothes identical to the original one, instead of the previous version.

actually i like this oversaturation its somewhat more industrial looking it changes the mood eveen more its like an edgy black metal video

and if you need help just throw me the textures and i will see what i can do

 

[JuanchoTexHD]

I reduce the saturation 50%, and do some adjusts, this time is definitive (the earlier caps has one thing disabled in configurations, new ones are the final looking), no more changes, last caps in header post and more info.

Very nice now it looks awesome.

The thing about the saturation was only my opinion, but I think this new captures fits very well with the original game, dark and creepy but now with HD textures.

I mean... in case somebody wants more color, this can be achieved using the PCSX2 graphical options and adjust the saturation. Another way to do this is to use reshade etc. But now it looks in the way the game was designed.

 

[alt_Human]

Looks great, but I believe your game aspect ratio is off? It looks vertically stretched to me.

No, you are right, the previous has much saturation, i look in other parts and is too much, as you say you can add with reshade, but honestly the target of all thisis to not using reshade, in last case only the internal brightess slider, but the brightness not convinced me yet, i insist with the text in the toilet it must be visible, i need to check again, my monitor is calibrated but after the process the texture always tends to dark a bit.

The screenshots given by the emu are in 4.3 i manually adjusted the proportion, maybe is wrong, or the lower overscan was activated i cant remember.
