Here are all of the other cutscenes from the PlayStation 2 classic, "Godzilla: Save the Earth".

Restoration Journey:

ISO Extraction: Unlike the Intro Cinematic (Another video on my channel), I ended up extracting the footage from the XBOX ISO for the Submarine and Vortaak Queen scenes as they were in substantially better quality, for some reason the PS2 Sub Cinematic was out of order on the PS2, looking strange. The aspect ratio of the Submarine Master is also rendered in 4:3.

Script-Driven Extraction of the Extracted: Utilized a specific QuickBMS script tailored for Pipeworks games to successfully delve into the VOL file. This enabled the extraction of the original PSS video file hidden within (So now theres no "Press Start Button" garbage).

FFmpeg Conversion: Transitioned to FFmpeg, a powerful multimedia framework, to convert the PSS file into an actually usable MP4 container. Yay command line!

Audio Challenges: Encountered some hurdles with the audio stream (or lack there of, lol). I ended up extracting the audio from the XBOX ISO instead, as the audio stream was (mostly) functional.

AI Upscaling: Moved to the next phase with AI. Thanks to an AI model that likes 3D animation, it went pretty well. In the end, the video was upscaled, revealing details that were once lost in the original SD resolution.

Final Output: What you see now is a nostalgic love for the game, manifested. A once pixelated intro has been rejuvenated into these crisp HD cinematics.
