About this mod
High resolution textures for the entire game (3500+ upscaled textures)
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This mod is a texture pack that contains 3500+ upscaled textures, getting rid of a lot of pixelated textures and enhancing fine details.
Most diffuse and specular textures have been upscaled x2 or x4, depending on content and original resolution.
Includes all types of textures (environment, objects, characters, adverts, etc...) except the UI which is not stored as textures.
About 75% of Bioshock 2 Remastered (2016) textures are actually x2 upscale from the original game (2010).
These have been re-upscaled using the original 2010 textures to provide better quality, as the upscale tools available now provide much better results than the tools that were available back in 2016.
The remaining 25% of the textures were remade by hand for the 2016 remastered, and have been upscaled in this mod.
Compatibility
- This mod should be compatible with all editions of Bioshock 2 Remastered (2016)
- This mod is not compatible with the original Bioshock 2 (2010).
- Includes upscaled textures for Minerva's Den DLC
- Other mods that modify game textures should be installed after this one if you want their textures to show ingame.
Known issues
- Some game assets will still look low resolution. These meshes were mapped using very small parts of their textures and would need to be reworked.
- Not every textures were created equal. Some have given better results than others.
- Very low resolution text, once upscaled, will turn into alien text. No one knows what it means. Don't try to read it, and you will be fine.
- I have not tested the full game. I have already fixed a lot of problems before release, but if you encounter any major problems, please post in the comments.
