    Isn't this essentially what P.SUS made but with more samples?

    no Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half-Life, CS, GTA, Elder Scrolls, Fallout? Some ground breaking, or at least classic titles there. Looks like this was much more console exclusive based. No matter, this was still a cool video.

    IKR? The 3D graphics era was WAY before 2001. The 3D graphics era was when the Nintendo 64 first came out. When the Nintendo 64 Was out, notice in the 3d models, they weren't bone rigged well, and their mouths don't move at ALL when they talk in some of the games. That's not the worst part. The 3rd dimensional PS1 Games were HORRIBLE. In the 3D Model PS1 game "Rugrats - The search for Reptar" they were modeled terribly, their mouths NEVER moved, and the game was FULL of glitches. I've beaten it.
