MOD:K1 Cutscenes Rescaled

Recommended Posts

K1 Cutscenes Rescaled


This mod modernizes all K1 cutscenes by upscaling, slight compositing, and remaking text elements. This in 3440x1440, 3840x2160,  2560x1440 and 1920x1080 resolutions at the original framerate and interpolated to a 60fps version.

Disclaimer
This mod only includes enhanced cutscenes. Adjusting your game to the preferred resolution is necessary.  There's multiple guides on how to do this online. (like this one.)

Information
- Cutscenes have been upscaled using a combination of AI models in Topaz Video AI 4-5, then re-composited and exported back to bink files at a high bitrrate.
- Remade the subtitles for videos 02-09-31a-50-56b
- Remade legal screen
- Remade title crawl in video 01a
- Fixed issues in certain videos (color grading, broken fades,..)

Installation
- Download preferred resolution and frame rate versions.
- Extract the downloaded folders into the  "movies" folder in your game installation directory. Remember to make a backup of the original folder first if you want to restore them at some point.
- Overwrite with any preferred alt versions.

Alts
All the resolution versions have the same alternative options.
- "legal" an alternative legalscreen option.
- "nosubs" removes subtitles from videos 02-09-31a-50-56b
- "whitesubs" adds white instead of blue subtitles to videos 02-09-31a-50-56b

Let me know if  you run into any issues or have any thoughts. This is by no means perfect since the upscaling process still introduces a lot of artifacts but I'm hoping to revisit and improve this project whenever there's a significant update in available upscaling video tech.
