How did older games looks better at 240p and 480p compared to HD? Did the old CRT TV have some weird quirk hiding all the low res textures and models in Resident Evil 4?Leon lookin sharp at every resolution, niggas.[/spoilers]

Um they didn't?
there's the blur that comes with old televisions
They were designed to look their best at the time they were originally released. HD remakes never look right to me

You didn't notice the flaws as much compared to HD.

Most graphics had to be a little stylized to make up for the lack of "realism," which gave games their own styles and tones. These days everything looks pretty much the same short of games that are intentionally stylized like Dishonored or Telltale's games.
You still have your CRT monitor, right /v/?

Not a TV expert but im pretty sure CRT emited a ray of light to your screen, similar to a projector. Modern televisions upscale with pixels creating a blocky ugly as fuck look

So basically what you're saying is...
The games looked less shit because the shit resolution was hiding how shit the games actually looked?

Dishonored is more stylised realism but there were definitely games looking to be realistic. First one that came to mind was Half Life 2.

Resident Evil 4 is an interesting game for this question because it is only playable in 16:9 and was designed for the GameCube, the system with the lowest storage space that generation (hence low res textures).

Yes. Technically this is the TV but I have a monitor too.

>widescreen
Holy shit, I thought the bars were intentional for help the game perform better or some shit. What other GC games have widescreen support?
