Crysis 2 Ending Enhanced (1440p upload)

This is the end cut-scene from Crysis 2 as Extracted and enhanced from the Original Videos.pak folder.

Compare 1:05 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5T19v3zliY&hd=1 to 0:07 of this for contrast.


Process:
-Extracted Videos.Pak with Open BMS Crysis 2 Script

-Found GameResolution_St.usm

-Demuxed with VGM toolbox

This gave us GameResolution_st_40534656.m2v and a bunch of ADX files.
The m2v was an unusual file, it was MPEG1 @ 4811kbps, with a resolution of 1920*720 at 30 FPS. It was 1920px wide instead of 1280px wide because there was an extra 'pane' as I would call it, with the same video stream as seen ingame with a dramatically squeezed one on the right with a 640*720 resolution. My guess is this is for 3D, but it is totally useless for me.

The ADX Files consisted of several files of ingame speech in different languages, and the ingame music

-Ran through video enhancer (software basically the same as virtual dub, but with a few other features, and a little bit easier to work with for some things)
Used MSU Smart Deblocking Filter
Used MSU lossless codec (massive file size)

-Ran through Virtual Dub
Used Null Transform to cut out the right side (New resolution 1280*720p)
Used MSU Lossless Codec

-Ran through Video Enhancer Again
Used MSU Smart Deblock
Used built-in Super Resolution to enhance resolution 2560*1440p, with quality preset
Used MSU Smart Sharpening, small
Used MSU Smart Deblock
Used x264vfw CQ=1, (The file size would have been huge had I used MSU)

-Used VGMStream to convert ADX audio to WAV

-Used Audacity to merge English speech with music
Output as stereo mp3 @ 192kbps

-Used VirtualDub to mux audio & video
Used 10,000kbps XviD
Forgot to encode audio (whoops! these things happen but it didn't have a negative effect on the result anyways)

...And that is the end result.
Overall it looks alot better, and certaintly better than the screencaptures that have been uploaded before, although I can see a few small areas where the Super Resolution actually mistook the blocking for detail and enhanced that as well.

Previous uploaded HD videos may claim to be 1080p, or on 'maxed' settings, but they are all the same 720p as what is shown ingame is just a video.

Superb stuff..... even better is your taking the time to explain how you did it......... not many bother with that........ thanks again!!

[Ariccio123]

@mastahjoda Thanks! there's more that I will upload once I find some of the elusive free time....

[DawsonJBailey]

basically the cephs and prophets and alcatraz's dna is all recorded into the suit, when prophet shot himself he thought it was over but the suit still has his dna, so we assume that all of the dna combined to make alcatraz with prophets mind.

[Ariccio123]

@DawsonJBailey More than just his DNA, the suit had apparently merged with Prophet's consciousness so that when he "died", his mind was still essentially functioning in the suit. The end also implies that the suit/Prophet (this gets confusing) was beginning to merge with Alcatraz's consciousness.

The suit basically became Prophet.

[EmileEMMartel]

How many hours of uploading?

[EmileEMMartel]

Thumbs Up if your CPU doesn't lag...

[MastuTHEIF]

so prophet is still a concience in the suit and has been talking to alcatraz all this time?

"they call my prohet" at the end..... thats alcatraz speaking? or prophets internal concience
