Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

@dixen
Also bink2 videos are kb2n, so bpk is useless here.

Damn, I guess next year at the least bpk will be useless entirely for new titles

[Masquerade]

Epic Games owns Unreal Engine and Rad Tools so its a free for all when it comes to Unreal Engine games using Bink Video and Oodle compression. The latest Bink version is KB2n so it's this year that BPK will be obsolete for newer titles.

PS: If this type of method sharing is not useful in the thread anymore, delete this reply. And if the format in which they're shared is a bit bulky and mods want reformat, I'm happy to oblige. This is just a few games I've done for the month
