Episode 401 - Games that went beyond the normal 4x3 aspect ratio in the 32-bit days were pretty rare, but some dared to do it! Many didn't do it very well. Let's check out all of the games on the original PlayStation that are in 16:0 widescreen!

A good quality version of the original Half Life 2 E3 trailer has been upped to YT.
Sourced from original file sent to the games press.

Look, these voiceover mods have the potential to be good. Final Fantasy VII Echoes was the best things I played last year. But the voiceovers in this trailer were…painful.

Re: Retro Gaming Thread
I love the energy behind the idea. There's just something anachronistic about Chrono Trigger having voiceovers. I wonder if it feels weird for a game with a silent protagonist to have VO?
The VO direction seems to be a little ... overdramatic.

Re: Retro Gaming Thread
really wish that series of games had continued, ninja fun on a modern platform would be great, some things come close but it aint the same
