Crash Course Games: #9: Playstation and More Immersive Video Games

This video focuses on PlayStation and its counterparts. By the mid-90s the video game industry was booming. In 1994, Sony introduced their PlayStation console which coupled cutting-edge technologies with great games. In the 90's the Sega Saturn and eventually the Sega Dreamcast as well as the Nintendo 64 appeared. This new hardware brought a new era of immersive games including 3D, and with CD's, the size of games allowed for longer, more complex storytelling.
