Ever Wondered What Modern Games Look Like on a 1973 TV?

To be honest, I haven’t wondered too much what modern games look like on a TV from the 70’s as it was only a few years back that I was enjoying my friends eye melting radiation machine of a TV churn its way through a few games when I visited him, but here we have someone trying out newer games on a slightly older TV… so let’s take a look.

Watch Dogs, Grand Theft Auto V, Saints Row 4, Soul Calibur V fired up on an Xbox 360, then fired through a 1973 black and white TV. Some games like Saints Row IV worked just fine, but there were blatant resolution problems with both Watch Dogts and GTA V.

So in the name of entertainment, erm I mean science, lets take a look at the test footage.
