If the character creation says made by Iason Skullsaber, then that is by me, which is most, but not all of this video

For those of you who are better at the game than making Color Palettes, or your just lazy and want some well thought out colors already done

Your at a garage sale and see a box full of VHS tapes with a general price of 9.99 on the box. You look through them to find a subtitled Japanese horror/action film you have never heard of, but the blood spattered and transparent cassette has clearly aroused your curiosity. You bought the VCR on Ebay a week ago and have it already set up, so now all you have to do is hope the tape is still in good shape as it didn't come in a slip cover or case, and you dont know where it has been sitting the last few decades, but it's transparent, and looks like it's in pretty good condition considering, so you go ahead and pop it in.  It's in Japanese, but has subtitles, so you dim the lights, press play, and hit the pipe on the coffee table.

Do you like old movies on old aged formats?

Do you think the Vanilla remastered game looks a bit too clean, and maybe the original resolution helped hide faults and limitations, creating the illusion of realism? Do you think the AI upscaled backgrounds look a bit too much like a static Jpegs with a few elements thrown over it because, again, this game was not originally developed for UHD, or even HD?  If so, OR you are just open to exploring stories with the grit of old analogue format adding a layer to the esthetic... then I think you will enjoy what I have here. AND yes, I get this is NOT something for everyone. 

Japanese Horror VHS reshade preset

I think the part where he originally photshopped colors to get results is kinda dumb, but I guess it does cosmically work out as it turned out he was not too far off from what might be reality.

I do believe there are maybe a few things goofy in here.....but you know what, you figure out what YOU think those parts are yourself....

Yes the start screen says 2.0 but i forgot to update that before i did the footage, the pack you get will INDEED say 2.5

All links under video because reddit AI will stop me from posting otherwise

I wanted to have this in a better format than PNG for this update as i am getting a bit tired of the stuttering on loading .....but Imma have to get some help for that as it does not seem to be as I hoped, and in fact it has become infuriating to get what i want without doing every single texture individually, So I will be searching for help that has experience with converting full folders at once with the programs I need it done with, unless they know of something better of course......but anywhoo...

Doing my best to make the flat background objects not look like flat background objects. The City texture in the back of the Midnight rooftop stage took a LOT of work and trials just to get it to that spot....and i think it came out pretty okay!

Stun has a LOT of clothes buttons, and I haven't gotten through all of them yet. There are plenty of textures i wanted to get to this release, but still have to hunt them down because I have no tool to identify anything....it's all target on sight and recognition

I said it before about the Paranormal/UFO/Sumerian/NOLA references, but you will ABSOLUTELY see the Sumerian part of that way more in this release

I think it would be legit cool to get someone that is actually more familiar than me with the Veda texts to do the Indian temple stage in a similar fashion to what i am doing with other stages

The bridge stage is one of the stages I had the idea to improve on FIRST, but is still the biggest enigma for me to figure out as I REALLY REALLY want to obscure the big open spots on the floor with a much more gravel pavement filled affair that obscures the fact that the characters are never reflected in the faux reflection technique they decided to use. like I don't know if it's like a thing in lore, but but I do not care, Vampires are the ones with no reflections, not werewolves. Sooo, I could use help dissecting that stage and figuring out those elements better .

Made this reshade a while back.

weirdly enough, this post is not about the reshade though

The music is from a playlist of 3333 across several genres and it even includes "Bumper" sounds and various random things mixed about. Things from several different genres, time periods, and parts of the world with 10 seconds of crossfade and every track edited to account for it. I pick the first song , and i let it fly from there. needless to say most of my videos are demonetized because I would rather have the random music. The point of it is to see how often this set number of tracks on random sync up with what on the screen as i play , none of this is edited in post. I dont edit my videos at ALL so far in fact.

I LOVE this game even though find it harder than most other Fromsoft Games outside Sekiro. I love the movement, I LOVE the esthetic and scale, and honestly i wish we could have gotten DLC to motivate me to play it more.

A LOT of work getting it this far. Lots of changes to things I already did.

This should be the last time I put this out in simple PNG format, as I am going to convert everything to native Texture types next release. I am also going to start looking into getting help converting things over to Extreme.

35% more UFO/Paranormal/Conspiracy/NOLA references Leaning into things I also added Sumerian symbolism, and plan to add more ( I actually thought about doing the numbers in Sumerian, but that would start to look a bit ridiculous with how the symbols have to stack.

More details on the jets from the Aircraft Carrier stage and threw together some side graphics from some random free pic I upscaled like 5 years ago, and i had it longer than that, so I know its not AI generated.

Also a bit more effort making the the back ally stage more early 2000s....and now its basically Alternate Timeline NOLA....with elevated Trains.... which would make sense with the flooding there....but anywho.....ALL the flyers in the Back Ally are real band flyers from the times stated on them, and yes, I did those myself in that time period, as I was friends with one of the bands . Replaced the festival poster on the warehouse door with the actual promotional poster for VoodooFest 2003. Th Flatwoods Monster in the graffiti was hand painted by me like 8 years ago, everything around it is random stuff I found, and a few i threw together to make more graffiti like. The VCR Repair shop is a direct reference to Red Letter Media, and originally a reference to 2 members Chicago-land origin, which only still holds after I NOLA-fied things due to the fact NOLA has historically always gotten WGN-TV since 1978, so the city kind of adopted the Cubs as their de-facto baseball team as we never actually had our own. And VCRs were still VERY much in use in NOLA up to maybe 2008 or so...... Replaced all but one of the boarded up windows with new sticker and pen-graffiti covered replacements, this time with cuts of wood that make realistic sense. K&B Drugs ( a sticker on one of the boarded up windows was a grocery store Everyone remembers for some reason but does not exist anymore....and is also the thing middle age southerners remember when they see yellow and purple as a color combo in ANY classic fighting game. 106.7 The End was a radio station the normies listened to that was CRAZY popular ....until it eventually wasn't and got sold, and after that people got VERY nostalgic for it, and eventually forgot it again.

So yea, my textures basically come with built in lore

This was a milestone I wanted to reach and get out , as the world is getting too expensive and wild and who knows what we will have to deal with tomorrow, so I feel I should get out what I have NOW a lot more lately. If your REALLY a purist about the games original lore, than you might not be a fan, however if you don't care, and you dig the Ancient Aliens angle I am interjecting into this game about a species of were-animal people in an alternate timeline earth, then i think you will see this is EASILY the prettiest this game has ever had the ability to look, and once I get this all converted in the next release, it should run smooth as butter. I am also considering an HD downscaled version to be more friendly for handhelds and less beefy PC set ups, and like i said FINALLY gonna look into getting this ported to Extreme . Again, NO generative AI was used, just photographic assets, Photoshop and some brushes
