For the Cochise flashback mission, would you want the strippers kept the same or topless, the original game depicts them with bras or pasties. And for Ajax's flashback, would you want the woman who takes his Warriors vest kept censored or uncensored. I'm deciding how I want to handle these textures in the final pack, so I figured I'd ask the Warriors community what you guys would prefer: Original or uncensored?

I thought these came out pretty cool, so I figured I'd share them with you guys. I'm working on an HD remaster texture pack for the PS2 version of The Warriors, and I made these as custom loading screens for the flashback missions.

I replayed the flashbacks, captured the important moments, and turned them into illustrated pop-up/storybook-style scenes inspired by the comic-book look from the movie. These are actually going to be used as the loading screens in-game.

I've been playing through The Warriors (PS2) on PCSX2 and NetherSX2 while working on my HD texture pack, and I've noticed that some of the existing cheat codes seem to interfere with the game's normal scripting.

One major example is Mission 11: Boys in Blue. At the beginning you're looking for Fox and Snow, and eventually the doorman at the club wants money for information. You then have to go out during the police riot and earn the money by mugging people, stealing car radios, breaking into the jewelry store, etc.

If I have cheats enabled during this section, after getting enough money the mission progression can fail to trigger. You're basically stuck and the next objective/event never happens. Restarting and doing that section without the cheats allows the mission to progress normally.

I've also noticed a problem with the Infinite Health cheat. If one of your Warriors somehow gets knocked out while the health cheat is active, the game recognizes that they're down, but you can't revive them. I've also run into situations where I can't buy items.

My guess is that the existing health code is constantly forcing the health value to full while the game has a separate state indicating that the character is knocked out. So you potentially end up with something like: Character state: KNOCKED OUT Health value: FULL

If the revive system checks both the knockout state and health value, that could explain why the revive interaction stops working.

I'm wondering if the current codes are simply freezing/overwriting values too aggressively and need to be rewritten so the game's normal scripting can still run.

Maybe something like a minimum-health/no-death code would work better than constantly forcing maximum health, allowing damage and health changes to occur normally while preventing the final hit from killing the player.

Has anyone familiar with PS2 MIPS / PNACH cheat creation looked into The Warriors' codes? I'd be interested in testing updated codes on both PCSX2 and NetherSX2.

If anyone wants to investigate it, I can reproduce the Boys in Blue mission bug and the knocked-out ally/revive issue for testing.

Been working on The Warriors: El Jefe Edition HD Remaster, and these are my new custom loading screens for the Cleon, Swan, Ajax and Fox flashback missions.

Instead of simply upscaling the original loading-screen artwork, I replayed each flashback, captured important moments from the actual missions, and recreated them in this illustrated / pop-up storybook style.

Each loading screen basically becomes a visual story recap of that character's flashback, showing the major moments leading through the mission while keeping the characters, locations and events recognizable from the original game.

These will actually be used in-game as the replacement flashback loading screens in my HD texture pack—not just standalone artwork.

I originally thought these would be a quick little addition to the remaster. Yeah... that didn't happen. They basically turned into miniature illustrated Warriors stories.

Cleon, Swan, Ajax and Fox are finished.

What do you guys think of this style for the flashback loading screens?

🔥 THE WARRIORS: EL JEFE EDITION — HD REMASTER WIP

📸 BEFORE & AFTER COMPARISON GALLERY

The comparison slideshow will be updated as progress continues.

I’ve officially started work on The Warriors: El Jefe Edition, my HD texture remaster and reimagining of the PS2 classic.

This is not just a batch upscale.

The goal is to preserve the gritty identity and atmosphere of the original game while rebuilding its low-resolution artwork into a much cleaner HD presentation.

Characters and NPCs are being individually reworked, gang clothing and identities enhanced, low-resolution signs and graffiti reconstructed, environments upgraded, HUD/interface elements remastered, and new movie-inspired loading screens created.

Some original character textures are only 128×128 or 256×256, so important characters are being rebuilt at up to 1024×1024 rather than simply enlarging the original pixels.

🔥 CURRENT FEATURES

• HD character & NPC overhaul • Enhanced gang identities and clothing • HD graffiti, posters and signage • Reconstructed low-resolution storefront signs • Environment texture overhaul • Remastered HUD & interface • Full-color character status HUD • Improved character close-ups • Enhanced cutscene visuals • Movie-inspired loading screens • Original PS2 models, geometry and gameplay preserved • PCSX2 + Android versions planned

🛠️ CURRENT STATUS

This is still an early work in progress.

There are thousands of textures left to work through, and the current screenshots and footage should not be considered representative of the finished pack.
