YouTube’s ‘MrKingx11’ has shared with us a new video, showing a retro Reshade mod for Dark Souls III in action. This Reshade recreates the atmosphere of a 1980’s VHS, and looks pretty cool. To be honest, I find it really hard to actually play the game this way. Nevertheless, it looks really cool, so be sure to check out the video after the jump!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Cool as a demonstration, but not much else really.
nonsense
Pointless.
Not true, it managed to give me a headache.
You have a mindless hate for the series.
Strange – nice! I love this art of creativity!!
interesting to watch extremely bad to play!
A very worn out VHS tape, that is. Normally it wouldn’t look that bad.
It’s the default VHS shader that comes with Reshade. Nothing new…
My mega drive used to be that bad.
Ha! I was yelling out “fix the tracking!!”. Brings back memories of severly worn VHS or Beta tapes that had been passed around 10 too many times… My dad owned a few Video Stores from the early 80’s to the mid 90’s and i worked there from 11 years old. Like i said, it brings back memories….
i thought we usually hated film grain and stuff.
that’s not exactly 1980’s VHS… the vignetting is not even a thing with VHS. It looks more akin to an older, 1970’s colour TV look, and feel rather than 80’s VHS.
and i thought that film grain was bad. DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Exclusive on STEAM…peasants pff

Kudos for the accomplishment I guess, but gonna file this under no thanks. I don’t even like the film grain filter effect some games use. Whats the point of running a game at 1440p only to destroy the fidelity
Reshade has everything you need to make that look.
He did the equivalent of dialing some sliders.
Cool but could be very bad for the eyes!
guessing creator didnt live through the VHS age and is a new age kiddo? tapes didnt always have tracking lines unless you where to stupid to hit the button to fix as the movie started…. sure it would rarely pop up if you dint have a bargain bin player but cmon, the whole time? mod creator is a 16 year old kid trying to seem cool or a idiot who worked a below min wage job and had to deal with such 1st world problems. vhs is still a viable format for watching film,kino or classic anime that hasn’t received a proper dvd and or bluray release.
just… no
