Hello Folks -

My next upcoming video will continue to explore Sony's PS Classics offerings from their Premium tier of PS Plus!

I will focus on the PS2 side & I will compare it to PCSX2 emulation both in hardware & software rendering modes!

Will Sony have a better showing this time? What features do you get & are the games better to play?

Find out soon!

Hello folks -

I have a surprise for you in the form of my first video reviewing a game that's releasing very soon!

This is Accolade Sports Collection, a compilation title that packages five sports games from Accolade to experience on current hardware!

The game will be available on PC via Steam, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, XBOX One & XBOX Series Consoles!

Many thanks to  ‪@qubyteinteractive‬  for proving the review code for the PS5 version for me to review!

Video is now live on the channel :D I hope you enjoy my look at the game!

It's here!

A new video finally & it took me longer than I'd like to produce but, I'm happy with the final result!

I hope you enjoy my look at PS1 classics on PS5 against Duckstation emulation! 

Video is now live on the channel!

Well, this was a shock!

The channel's first anniversary is due on February 19th 2025 & we just passed 2K subscribers!

I just want to say a huge, huggggeeee thank you to anyone who watched & engaged with me! It means the world & I definitely have lots of ideas going forward for the channel!

I also updated my final thumbnail for my upcoming video to make it even clearer the differences between the platforms I'll be comparing!

Thank you all again & I will see you soon.

Hello folks -

I recently reacquainted myself with Sony's Premium tier of PlayStation Plus & I wondered how PS1 Classics fared on PS5. 

I then figured to compare this to Duckstation using both software rendering & hardware acceleration :)

I want to see if Sony's offering was any good & if it was worth the current asking price!

I tested over 20 games!

Hopefully the video will be out soon!

Hello folks -

For those who missed it, my video showing you all the SEGA Dreamcast version of GTA III is now live!
Instead of the PS2 version, I thought it would be more interesting to put the Dreamcast against the XBOX version!

After all, both can use 480p & most consider the XBOX a Dreamcast 2 or Dreamcast Pro! 

Either way, hope you enjoy seeing what the retro community accomplished on the Dreamcast! The results are quite amazing!

Hello folks -

My next video will be a quick look at how the SEGA Dreamcast version of GTA III fares against the PS2 original!

The developers from the retro community have done it again! They made the impossible.... Possible! Never thought we'd see this great game on a platform it never actually released for!

Yes, development started on the Dreamcast so, we know it was possible but, how good could it be?

Hope to get this video out soon! Stay tuned for it!

Here's two screenshots -

One was taken at the PSP's output of 480x272 & the other used the PS5's 1440p setting!

Should I make a video on this? Should I use any other resolutions from years gone by?

I feel it would be funny to see PS5 games being output at lower resolutions just to see what happens!
