Can anybody recommend which consoles should be in which aspect ratio.
I have a decent size CRT that’s 4:3. Would I be missing out if I used for eg a PS2 on this? What is the cut off where consoles turned 16:9?
Hey guys!
I am an independent filmmaker who has been working on a documentary about the owner of the largest arcade in the world, and his 30+ year quest to complete his own 2D digitized fighting game. If you're interested, you can check out an early trailer HERE.
We are in the final stretch, and there are a number of stories that are recounted within the film that I want to present in the manner of cutscenes. I also want to employ a variety of cutscene types: everything from Ninja Gaiden-style sprites to dithered live-action segments to low-poly PS1-style sequences.
And here is where I am hoping that you folks can help me out.
What are your favorite cutscenes? What are examples of cutscenes that exemplify a specific style? What are the most unique and/or genre-defining cutscenes?
Thanks!
For awareness:
I purchased Mario games for my 3DS console from Retrovgames / RetroFam, expecting to receive authentic products based on how the listings were presented. Instead, the games arrived from an eBay seller, and the item I received was defective.
When I contacted them about the issue, they claimed that the eBay seller was one of their “suppliers,” but after looking deeper into it, it became clear that they are simply dropshipping products from eBay at a much higher price. In my experience, they were not transparent about this at all.
What’s even more concerning is that the listings make the games appear original, but what I received was a fake/reproduction copy. After researching further, I found many negative reviews and complaints across different review platforms from customers with similar experiences.
Please do your research carefully before buying from Retrovgames / RetroFam. Also be cautious when purchasing from marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, Mercari, and similar platforms, as their products may also be listed there through third-party sellers.
Buyers deserve honesty and transparency.
