Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

One thing that I'm not exactly sure about is that the entire video is in 4:3 aspect ratio (hence the black bars), and is also maxed out at 360p. This is what causes the newer game clips to look in a bad resolution and look squished. I don't exactly how youtube handles resolution because it might just be a result of mashing together the older videos (which were likely in 4:3 and bad resolution), or it was intentional.

One thing that strikes me though, is that the final part seems to have actually been filmed in 4:3, since it doesn't look squished. Perhaps this means it was actually intentional? This could be going with the idea of a "throwback", maybe recycling something from an older game, like maybe the '97 or '99 game.
