The grainy, analog-tape-worn scenes shown in an embedded sample video on Reddit (below) make this graphically stunning game so 1980s-real you start watching for mullets. The preset is the work of Redditor Tulired, who was humble enough to ponder whether “something is missing” and reach out for opinions and ideas for improvement.
“One day I just started to research into how & what makes VHS look the way it does and after that thought ‘Hey maybe I can try to make Reshade Preset’,” wrote Redditor Tulired earlier this week. They went on to explain that they wanted to go for a more realistic than stylistic visual style. So, they avoided clichéd over-use of mechanical errors and finely balanced “other things like ghosting, chroma bleed / smear, Limited bandwidth for colors, muddy black floor, phosphor trails, NTSC stuff, color noise, blurriness and halo / ringing effect.”
With experience of video in the VHS era , I reckon they did a great job. Echoing some of the comments, the on-screen action could be a segment of a 1980s drive-time news report. That is, if you ignore the audioscape.
