Small Update
As correctly pointed out in the comments by (29♂)Mona ..DUSMANULdinSANITAR and Arhum, you don't need to do anything in this guide if you wanna be quick and easy.

1. On your library view, right click killer7 and left click on "Properties"
2. Click Betas
3. Select the available preview
4. Download that version.

Alternatively, download the update, and deselect "Remastered Videos" on the launcher.



Then, follow the steps on the following guide to erate the upscaled textures, or keep reading the rest of the guide.

Done. Enjoy the game.

If you wanna be double safe, you can still follow the steps to keep a backup of the old version.

I do want to bring up attention to two different guides that might be of interest if you want the new QOL fixes.

Jesus "Ezekiel" Jesus has made a better guide that aims to keep the new fixes while undoing the bad upscales. You can follow his guide to know what files to take out.

(29♂)Mona ..DUSMANULdinSANITAR made a cutscene restoration mod if you'd like higher quality cutscenes. You can follow his guide to install them. https://ad.gamersky.info/@steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3355801080

I am keeping this guide up for now since this might be a fix down the line if NIS isn't too kind to us.
IN THE NAME OF HARMAN
Oh cool an update to killer7? Bugfixes? The original movie files? Upscaling? Count me in!

Yeah about that.

Let's skip the BS. The AI upscale they did blows, and we don't want that. I appreciate the bugfixes and that they even tried to do something, but this isn't ok.

Get the old files by going to the Steam console (open your browser and paste steam://nav/console) and then paste the following code :
download_depot 868520 868521 4381937500223383109

This will download the original version on your content folder at Steamapps (you'll get a notification when it's done of where the files are located exactly).

Alternatively, here is a Google Drive[drive.google.com] link and Gofile[gofile.io] alternative. Nexus mods doesn't have a page for us lol.
What to do with these cool files
1. On your library view, right click killer7 and left click on "Properties"
2. Click Browse Local files
3. Extract everything from the mod somewhere.
4. First, delete everything within the MOVIES and REPLACEMENT folder.
5. Now, copy the respective folders from the download into the killer7 folder.
6. Finally, replace the exe and launcher. Sadly, the new executable is not compatible with the old video formats, and will crash the game upon playing.

Note - The files in replacement folder are optional. You can play just fine without them if you choose. I am only including them since they were part of the old version that released. It was completely fine, mostly textures that were more faithfully remade, as well as HD fonts for things like t-shirts Travis wears.

So, for a more authentic visual experience, you can simply choose to leave it empty. Otherwise, just copy the old replacement files.

Enjoy killer7 and let's hope NIS makes the upscale optional sometime later!

Well at least they heard our feedback.

better update the post to only including the textures part, FMVs have been restored in the new hotfix (GC quality not PS2)

You are a hero. Mind if I link this here crediting you?

I have ported the GC cutscenes to the new version, so you don't need to use the bad pre-update cutscenes:

Fine work.

@Mona somehow I missed that fact the entire time. Nevertheless thanks for pointing it out.
And to the second point, the reason I suggest deleting everything and putting back the files you downloaded is because to manually check which are the new-ish textures and which are the old remade ones (like the T Shirts) would be a pain in the ass. Not like it matters with the beta build option.

@Arhum any idea where I can keep an eye for that, so I can link it in the guide and credit whoever does the deed? I would appreciate it if you knew.

Frankly I am keeping a separate copy of the depot because who knows if they will take out the preview build or something, I'd rather be safe than sorry, but for most people the beta branch should be more than good.

if you replace the exe with the old one you lose all the new bugfixes lmao, you do all those in one step by downgrading to the beta branch, it was stable before being merged into the final build back then

I would still advice against this and instead wait a few days until we figure out a way to losslessly convert gamecube h4m videos to webm. The Replacemnet folder trick should work to reverse the texture changes for now

1. the beta branch is just the old version, not an actual "beta", this can be confirmed using steamdb, so that should be recommended instead of downloading old depots
2. the "Replacement" folder also contains actual remade textures pre-update, like travis t-shirts and some posters, so recommending just completely deleting is wrong

Thanks!
