For what it’s worth, Joe, I genuinely appreciate how much you’ve stuck to principles in creating a high-quality gaming show to your vision. I’ve never seen you follow algorithmic trends, clickbait titles, or any of the other bullshit that plagues this platform. I know that you *could* be simply chasing subscribers and clicks at the expense of your integrity, but you never do that. I really admire that, and I’m really thankful. You deserve all the success in the world and I hope you get it. Thank you for all the work you do!

It seems pretty strange to me that companies even bothered with widescreen at the time. I didn't know anyone that had a widescreen TV in the late 90's/ early 2000's. I didn't even know that some games supported it back then, or if I did I ignored it because there really didn't seem to be a point.

[@stevieyoung81]

Great video as always. And just to add, here in Europe, most of our wide-screen TVs had a 14:9 option back then. The standard settings typically had it along with 16:9 and ZOOM, which was a preset for the letterboxed stuff.

[@stephenpalmer9375]

i was going to say the same, in fact I still have a tv with the 14:9 mode

[@stephenpalmer9375]

@After_Burnett I’ve done a little investigating. It seems it was some kind of compromise aspect ratio that some broadcasters used to allow widescreen broadcasts to not look too letterboxed on standard 4:3 televisions. Clearly some tv manufacturers baked it in

[@DGR_Dave]

If you watched the very end of the video, it seems like this could be the last episode of Game Sack ever... Joe's mom seemed pretty mad. It was a great run Game Sack, thanks for all the content over the years 😢

Such a fantastic idea for an episode, and I love how you presented the 14:9 by stretching and squeezing an overlay with your own editing!

[@elbiggus]

14:9 was a common aspect ratio option on TVs back in the day (at least in the UK) - to soften the transition from 4:3 to 16:9 many TV shows were shot in 14:9 as it was a good compromise: not too letterboxed on a 4:3 TV, not too pillarboxed on a 16:9 TV.

[@JamieBainbridge]

I know this is a stretch, but can you provide a reference for that? Wikipedia's 14:9 page says it's a shooting format only, and no 14:9 TVs were ever made. It would be good to correct it if there were such TVs.

[@Trispefear]

@@JamieBainbridgethere were never 14:9. It just made the transition during production easier between the two

[@JamieBainbridge]

@@Trispefear That makes no sense for a game tho right? 14:9 filming allows letter/pillar box or zoom to fill a real TV. Why would a game output a format which doesn't actually exist so the game always looks stretched and bad?

[@caseyhayes4590]

The X-Files is an interesting TV series from the same time where they filmed it in high quality 16:9 planning for the future. Watching new HD/bluray remasters is kind of the most accurate way to just see a 90s aesthetic in video footage. The vast majority of the tv shows from that time just don't look great on modern displays but that one does.

[@Johnny_Ultimate]

I appreciate how you don't dumb down the technical explanations and the deep dives into options and features. When combined with your humor, your channel kicks ass. Although I DO miss the super cool stop motion console teardowns you used to do. They were awesome.

I still do those. Had some just two weeks ago in the Polymega episode.

[@Johnny_Ultimate]

@@GameSack right.....I knew that....

[@NekoFever]

14:9 was a really common option on widescreen TVs here during the transition from 4:3 to 16:9. Many UK TV shows were broadcast in 14:9 (letterboxed, not anamorphic) as a compromise between both aspect ratios, so you’d have small horizontal bars on a 4:3 TV and small vertical bars on widescreen.

[@nathanpollard1223]

I'm curious, were shows that were originally broadcast in 14:9 framed for 14:9, or were 14:9 transmissions crops/open mattes of the intended aspect ratio?

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Aww shoot - I just made this comment... 2 weeks after you! After all these years I still sometimes blurt out comments without reading what has already been posted!

[@kosmosyche]

At some point in the mid to late 90s 14:9 was considered a compromise broadcasting format in many cases, which allowed to show mixed 16:9 and 4:3 content without or with minimal change (basically stretching the picture horizontally or vertically a bit in each case). I think in a historical context it all made more sense than it does now. You know, today's standards were not as carved in stone back then as they are now. For starters, until early to mid 2000s there were probably less than 1% of the audience who had the right TVs to display wide screen picture properly in it's full wide screen glory. lol

[@GeomancerHT]

Yeah, we also had a time where it seemed 16:10 would be the main aspect for widescreen, and we even have 21:9 and wider formats... 16:9 is a standard set on the HDTV era.

[@tonstad39]

It’s still done today in countries like Malaysia where they haven’t shut off analog broadcasts yet

[@belstar1128]

@@GeomancerHT a lot of pc monitors were 16:10

[@flygonbreloom]

To add onto this, the initial widescreen standards in Japan actually called for a 15:9 TV until the 16:9 standard actually got settled upon.

[@HedgehogY2K]

I can't believe it took people 5 years to figure out anamorphic widescreen 5 years after I did. Well, at least someone's FINALLY covering it. But, that 720x480 example is kinda weird. You said 720x480 for CRTs when those screens were clearly 4:3 and not 3:2. It makes sense to make anamorphic widescreen out of the DVD standard but turning off or not having a widescreen mode just resorts to 4:3 640x480 or 320x240, except when the Genesis is 10:7 in most titles.

[@DiGiTyDarKMaN]

Thanks for everything you do with this channel. Your videos have been a comfort to me for many years.

[@MVLGAMING]

I got a lot of use out of the 14:9 mode on my wide CRT TV. As I'm in the UK the vertical was PAL 288 lines instead of NTSC 240. And most of my PS1 games letterboxed to accommodate this. So 14:9 would fill up more of the screen by zooming, without cutting off alot of the top or bottom.

[@M4R14NO94]

Funny thing about TOCA World Touring Cars/Jarrett & Labonte is that the US version actually added in-game music, tho I think it's disabled by default. As for Worms Armageddon, the reason it didn't stick is cuz it's one of those games where it saves options if you exit with the confirm button rather than backing out. Worms World Party has that exact same widescreen mode (which makes sense since WWP is pretty much an updated Armageddon) Awesome vid as usual, Joe!

[@Sarcorco]

14:9 was a compromise between 4:3 and 16:9, the idea is that it'll look okay on both without having to chance the aspect ratio. You would film a show in 16:9, show it on tv as 14:9 and it would still be completely watchable on a 4:3 tv. I have no idea why they would use it in games though.

[@weeblbob233]

Thanks for making this, will definitely be giving Tenka a go on the flatscreen. I agree with you on Wipeout being made for 16:9 too. Always wanted to play a game like that one in Hackers. Wipeout is a close as it gets.

[@tigheklory]

I'm going to guess the 14:9 aspect might be because they were thinking there was a NTSC safe mode as the HD CRT TVs at the time would crop the sizes of the signal like 4:3 CRT?

[@chrisbroome6423]

Thanks for all the work this must have taken, it’s always great to see different ways developers intended people to interact with their games. It would be an even bigger pill to swallow, but I’d love a video like this on OG Xbox.

Not sure where you get that 720 wide number from. DVDs are often 720 wide in the file itself but that's because they're anamorphic and meant to be squished to widescreen or have black bars added for "full screen".

[@loganjones4650]

Fun fact: There were a few widescreen standard-definition CRTs released in North America. Notably, the Philips 26 and 30PW6341 have an option for a 14:9 aspect ratio in the menu!

[@sleblanc]

This video is excellent, thank you. I had never thought that back in the Playstation era, developers had already thought of widescreen. One thing about horizontal resolution: CRTs are analog, so it is fair to refer to bandwidth instead of resolution. While a CRT has a certain number of horizontal "pixels", this is only due to having three discrete colors. The NTSC standard does not : it only defines 525 lines, of which 480 are visible as you mentioned, Consoles are digital and work with pixels, but the signal they send is composite, thus inherently analog. What this means is that widescreen monitors do not just stretch the image, instead, they typically have enough bandwidth to display finer details. An analog signal generator could produce a finer gradient on the average widescreen for instance, and a VHS (analog technology) played or recorded on a high-end VCR would render more detail on the horizontal domain. A monochrome display for instance has no "pixels" on an horizontal line. It is only limited by the quality of the electronics and the bandwidth of the signal it receives. The consoles of that era did not have widescreen frame buffers and so the pixels themselves look stretched; single pixels are rectangular instead of square. It is not a limitation of the monitor. In fact, when LCD panels started appearing, the scaling was horrendous because it meant converting an image between two frame buffers (console and LCD panel) of different pixel aspect ratios, resulting in a lot of aliasing. Even today, while most TVs are a lot better at scaling than their ancestors, dedicated scaling hardware usually does it better, as I'm sure you will know. All of this is obviously obsolete nowadays, with the ubiquity of HDMI digital picture formats!

Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed is notorious because that was when EA made a long term deal with Porsche that prevented other game companies from acquiring the Porsche license for their games. Sega Super GT was the last game to feature Porsche before NFS Porsche. The restrictions cooled down a bit in the mid-2010s, where the license can now be used, but companies have to pay EA a large royalty fee in order to include Porsches in their games, hence why lots of games at the time feature Porsche as Paid DLC. It may seem average to you, but it is substantial to Simulation Racing Enthusiasts in regards to licensed cars.

The first Formula One game on PS1 was centered around the 1996 season and was made by Bizarre Creations, the guys who would go on to make Metropolis Street Racer and the Project Gotham Racing games. They also made its sequel, Formula 1 97, which was another pretty darn good F1 game. After that game, the series changed developers several times, with the first post-Bizarre title Formula 1 98 being an utter disaster. Things got back on track with Formula One 99, before the license was taken over by EA for the 2000 season.

[@roberto1519]

We played Formula One 2001 on the PS1 a lot back then, I recently discovered Formula One Arcade, which was released in 2002 for the PS1 as well, great games and actually quite impressive for the hardware, specially 2001.

[@LouisTheSEGANerd]

It was actually based on the 1995 season but didn't come out until '96. The attention to detail was really cool though as it accounted for all of the different driver changes during the season, and even simtek folding after monaco where there will only be 24 cars on the grid instead of 26.

Thank you, Joe for your impeccable work ethic. When Jared and Dylan shut down "Now In The 90's" last week, I don't think they considered how many people find that nostalgic, MtV-style coverage of our past very comforting. Especially the production value and delivery consistency. I know that is just the Millennial work ethic. If it feels like work instead of play, they put it down. It makes them "anxious" to actually labor or have a schedule to keep. I noticed that Jared went back to just playing games on stream for hours rather than editing, writing, making a small set, writing a short sketch. Sheesh, that's work brother! Anyway, thanks for all that hard work and consistency :)

[@ichemnutcracker]

If I had to guess, I'd say the "14:9" games are actually running at an internal resolution of 384x240 and the "16:9" games are running internally at 384x224 (which I think are both officially supported graphics modes for the PS1) and I think the coin-flip between them depended on which vertical resolution the game ran at in native 4:3 mode. But I could be totally wrong about that.

[@GameSack]

The resolution doesn't matter. All that matters in the amount of anamorphic squeeze applied to the polygonal shapes. I think that a lot of developers not having access to 16:9 monitors and just going by the specs they were given (by Sony presumably) is a big reason for it all.

[@ichemnutcracker]

@@GameSack You are a professional video editor, so I'm sure you know more about how that is all output than I do. And I absolutely agree that the extreme rarity of 16:9 gear at the time led to many terrible results from being forced to guess what *might* work based on bad assumptions. But I was just trying to think about this in terms of the graphics modes that the PS1 renders at internally, and the fact that two ratios came up the most led me to my guess. Edit: It also just strikes me as odd that Sony would issue poor design documents for widescreen when Japan, even in 1995, was probably the only place in the world where you could go into a regular electronics store and buy a real widescreen TV (due, among many things, to the MUSE system).
