Transition to 3D
The fifth generation is most noted for the rise games that were fully 3D. But there were games prior that had used 3D environments like Virtua Racing and Star Fox.
Virtua Racing
Star Fox
It was at this time that game designers began to move traditionally 2D and Pseudo-3D game genres into full 3D. There are many prime examples for this but some of the popular ones are Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation. They were widely known for their 3D environments and were the ones that steered everyone's especially the industry's focus from the side-scrolling and rail-style titles, they also opened doors for more complex games and game genres. Games like GoldenEye 007, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time were completely different from the Shoot-um ups, RPGs and Figting games that came before them.
GoldenEye 007
GoldenEye 007 was released exclusively on 1997 for the N64 console which proved to have been very successful because it combined 3D graphics with a greater realism that had never been seen before at the time.
Most of the game releases today are hype-realistic which is expected for most of the games that are released today.
