Shit, you can do that?! Can’t imagine modern HD text/UI would play nice. I did however start running my PS3 through the CRT again, which works well playing old PSN games that way

Writers: repost a story you’re proud of. One I’ll usually share, which I think says a little something about myself but also interest non-gamers, is when I explored the use of the Cantonese language (or rather the lack of it) in games www.eurogamer.net/the-cantones...

In the spirit of 'oh jeez look at all those new followers, I should use Bluesky more' I have unlocked today's subscriber edition so you — yes, you! Right there! — can read it right now. It's about why, four years after leaving Edge, I've returned to print media newsletter.hitpoints.co/286-on-one/

My final feature in Play looks at devs making games with a PS1 low-poly aesthetic, which is more than just about nostalgia, and actually quite perfect for horror. Well timed too as Crow Country just got ported to Switch and PS4 this week while Fear the Spotlight is out next week.
