The development of the Resident Evil 4 HD Project, a modding project aiming to replace all of the game's textures with high-quality ones, has been going strong for quite some time. Following the release of the Village segment, from today it will be possible to enjoy another area of the game with improved textures.
The Resident Evil 4 HD The Castle Release is now available for download, allowing players to explore the castle portion of the game with some new, impressive, high-quality textures.
What this release contains:
Enhanced environmental textures for the entire Castle section
3D modeling and texture mapping corrections and enhancements for the Castle section
Lighting corrections for the Castle section of the gameWhat you should know before downloading:
The total file size is approximately 4.7GB, available for download via Google Drive (2 files to download)
This download does not include the Village release (which you can download and install separately) or enhancements of any kind for the Village section
The installation is handled via a batch file that moves the original files into a backup folder and the new files into place

Installation instructions:Fast Version:
Generally speaking, the way the automated installation works is that you extract the files from the RAR archive into the base folder for the game, and then you run the “install-castle-release.bat” file
Once the script is done running, you’re ready to play the game
You can download the 2 parts of the RAR archive by going here and here. The mod obviously requires the Resident Evil 4 full game, which can be purchased on Steam.
