and they made sure that the footage looked just as blurry and low res as the actual game running on a PS2 to make it fit seamlessly

That is until you play the game 20 years later on an emulator and you go from lovely upscaled gameplay to sub-DVD quality videos with tons of in-built aliasing

    Lol even funnier is the ps3 era FFXIII, game runs in 4k on X1X or PC, but the ui is still 720p and the upscale does an awful job with text. You get crisp and detailed characters and the ugliest menu you've ever seen.
