Shader used: ReShade

Preset description:

My Global Games Instructions List: -Download the latest ReShade -Install on game.exe using DirectX 9 -Check “Download all effects” during setup -Disable any In-Game Anti-Aliasing, Bloom, or Ambient Occlusion we use our own -If Bars are out of place due to resolution, press home go to letterbox & Uncheck it. -Have Fun :) --------------------------------------------- This cinematic ReShade preset for Street Racing Syndicate (2004) brings a vibrant yet realistic street racing experience. With finely tuned lighting, rich ambient occlusion, cinematic sharpening, and subtle bloom, it elevates the visuals to match the thrill of the game. --------------------------------------------- Effect List (A–Z): AdaptiveSharpen.fx ArtisticVignette.fx ColorGrading.fx DepthSharpen.fx FilmGrain2.fx GaussianBloom.fx Letterbox.fx LiftGammaGain.fx MartysMods_MXAO.fx PiecewiseFilmicTonemap.fx SMAA.fx Vibrance.fx --------------------------------------------- What we do? Our presets are carefully crafted and tested on a calibrated 3440x1440 VA Panel Monitor paired with a RTX 3060ti and Ryzen 5600x. Visual effects may still vary depending on your resolution, monitor color calibration and rig. ChatGPT Reason Mode was instructed with the game description, pictures plus every existent shader (to my knowledge) to really pick only the best for what we aim and our games gameplay. Each effect is then calibrated after based on their own options and values that we wrote in a giant document (over 100 shader effects transcripted by now), after that we use our common sense and vision to ensure the most clean, the highest quality and the best cinematic ambient to ensure visual consistency across the board. Ideal for fans of 2004 games seeking nostalgia with modern visual quality, plus easy plug and play as the only games i pick are really those who can just be injected and run directly, no time to mess around with wrappers and shady stuff. ---------------------------------------------
