Neural network visualizes a 70s–80s movie adaptation of the Resident Evil 4 remake

Various enthusiasts continue to experiment with modern technology. This time, someone set out to imagine a movie adaptation of the acclaimed Resident Evil 4 remake.

Thanks to modern technology, enthusiasts can (relatively) easily envision their own take on video game film adaptations. WarPack23 decided to try imagining the Resident Evil 4 remake as a 70s–80s movie.

He not only experimented with the character designs, such as Leon Kennedy, Ashley, and Ada Wong (here she is not wearing the modest outfit from the modern version, but rather a revealing dress), but also showcased several locations and enemies. A shot featuring the wolf and Hunnigan wearing glasses is also included.

WarPack23 shared an example of a prompt that made it possible to achieve this level of “realism”:

“dvd screengrab of (any movie, director and release year plus genre), A rugged, tactical male character, dressed in dark tactical gear. He has short, blonde hair and a muscular build, wearing a tight black shirt. He holds a shotgun casually in his right hand, while a large knife is strapped across his back. His pants are equipped with various tactical pouches and holsters. —cref (this is a link to the reference image you want to use for your character or location) —cw 0-100 (personally I use 100 to get a very accurate match to the image)

Also, I don't mention character names or locations. You just have to be very precise and descriptive. It helps a lot. When I used a character name or location name, the generated images looked too much like game screenshots, or cartoonish...”
