Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes director Hideo Kojima has confirmed that The Phantom Pain had a 1980s movie filter inspired by the game's 1984 setting. However, it caused technical issues and had to be removed.

The insight came from Twitter, where Kojima cited 2013's racing movie Rush as a comparison of 1980s filters:

"RUSH" had very 70's texture & tone of film. In fact we studied 80's image & developed "80's filter" for MGSV as TPP is placed in 1984. CONT

(CONT) But when we actually implemented full screen effect, it was too heavy that slowed the system down so we had to take it out.
