No surprises here: Grand Theft Auto V looks terrible on a monochrome TV
Nostalgia cuts a fine line between want and need. Gamers want the latest titles to evoke memories of their favourite games, but what they need are the latest, hottest graphics. Reddit user awesomedan24 (found via gaming site Gamepur) hacked a 1973 black and white TV to play Grand Theft Auto V, Saints Row IV and Watch Dogs. Unsurprisingly, the results are some muddy, ugly videos twinned with heaps of golden nostalgia.
It’s a cute and cool experiment, and will ensure that you never take your 1080p LED TV for granted again. So while we may pine for the days of old, when gamers were seemingly better, it’s evident that we can never go back to the old ways. In this sense, awesomedan24’s gaming experiment is a success. The fairly wonky video results are listed below, with further images here.
For those of you wondering how he did it, he used one these: an HDMI to CRT convertor.
