Cyberpunk 2077 may be approaching its sixth birthday and CD Projekt itself has ruled out further content, but modders are very much keeping the game alive — and this latest effort hit me right in my 80s fan feels.
TapePunk, from Tulired, emulates a VHS aesthetic that “provides a gritty, analog-inspired look for Cyberpunk 1977, avoiding over-the-top effects.” It’s described as “a simple tool for those seeking a cinematic, nostalgic atmosphere based on real-world media study and our memories.”
Tulired said they spent “countless” hours over the last few months learning about VHS and camcorders in order to update the mod, having released a demo video that “seemed to trigger something nostalgic in many of us.”
“One comment in particular stuck with me: ‘I can’t explain it, but this is what nostalgia feels like. The exact feeling is this kind of ‘filter’ overlaid onto old memories,’ Tulired explained. “That is exactly what this project is at this moment: not a 100% perfect technical recreation, but an idealized version, just like our memories.”
If anybody here likes VHS aesthetic, I’ve updated TapePunk finally. Thoughts?
