Note that I'm planning to release (once again) a smaller version of Crysis 3 remastered. I've been able to reencode some .usm videos.
Since usm videos can be found in various games, and in case you want to modify them, I'm giving you the explanations to reencode them:
- Extract  the usm videos with vgm toolbox
- For the videos, reencode m2v to avi with Mediacoder (choose a MPEG4 encoder, and apply a high bitrate since you'll choose the final bitrate later, in Scaleform video encoder)
- For the audio tracks, reencode adx to wav with PES sound file converter
- Finally, convert the avi and wav files to usm videos with Scaleform video encoder.

Note that  new repacks are available on the forum:

Amnesia Rebirth (3 Gb smaller)
The frictional Games AIO (1 GB smaller)
Crysis 3 remastered (500 mb smaller)

To make the 3 new repacks (see the message above), I worked a lot, and I reduced the size of the normal dds. It was pretty hard since only paint.net supports them (xnview is displaying an error message), and I reduced the size of hundreds of dds files. I'd like to make smaller repacks for dishonored 2 and the room series games, but it's hard since the files are embedded in "assets" files in these games. If you know how to modify these files, send me a message.

Since I'm on vacation, I played again the game Resident evil 2 remake and I still find it excellent.
Resident Evil 2 is the 2019 remake of the classic PS1 horror game from the late 90's. You follow two survivors, rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, sister of the original game's Chris Redfield as they search the amazingly claustrophobic Racoon City to discover the truth as to why the local populace have turned into the flesh-devouring undead and other more dangerous monsters. By survival-horror game standards especially, the gameplay is outstanding.
If it's a faithful recreation of the 1998 survival horror classic, but it has been rebuilt completely.
It's a masterclass in environmental design and atmosphere. It blends action, puzzles, and story into a well-balanced and fun concoction. It may look violent at a first glance, but it's not gore.

Will Vasudev and shadow.97 be able to find the G-virus sample to save the world?
If you are looking for a repack of this game, you can find it here:

Maybe some of you want to play the latest opus of the Resident Evil games, known as Resident Evil 4 remake.
I confirm that I'm planning to release a repack (in the coming weeks)

Note that I tested the game Resident Evil 4 remake, and it turns out it is excellent.
However, it might be a big difficult for Guliver, shadow.97 and humbert. I had to refer to online documentation to move forward in the game.
I took a few screenshots that you can find below.

I made a repack of 41 GB (vs 56,5 Gb for the whole game). It's too big for my online space, so there will be no repack of RE4. If I can make a significantly smaller repack, I will put it online though.












I hope shadow.97 and Vasudev are not making such experiments at home.

Diablo IV will be out in a few days as of this writing. I got it early because I bought something additional. Not too sure what it is.

The game is amazing! I'm still learning the new things and it's going to take a while. The configuration menu even sees the video card you're using and adjusts itself accordingly. DLSS3 is supported and can be set to "Ultra", not to mention ray tracing. It even has a setting specific to Nvidia's RTX-4000 series! I wish I had waited a few months before upgrading my video card. I went for an RXT-3060 believing that the 4000 series was overkill. Now they've dropped the price on the 4000 series to almost as low as what I paid for the RTX-3060. Oh well.... even so, the game plays great on my RTX-3060.
