In the early 90's, 32-bit consoles, such as the Playstation or the Sega Saturn, marked the entry of 3D environments in home video games. It seems that videogame developers forgot about pixel art to focus on polygonal proposals, with vast virtual worlds, and exploring new genres impossible in a 2D representation. Most of the PSX games adopted a more novel 3D look, but it is also true that there is a select group of video games that stayed on the more traditional path.

In this video we explore the catalog of the PS1 to discover the most colorful 2D games and how pixel art also took advantage of the increased capabilities of the 32 bit

In this video you will find:

• A didactic justification that the Playstation 1 was a system very capable of displaying beautiful 2D graphics
• A description of the PSX hardware so that the viewer understands how these video games are possible to display
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
