It's the mid-90's, and the gaming scene is changing beyond recognition. As the SNES and Mega Drive are being phased out, plans for new consoles emerge. All have one huge similarity- they are all based around 3D gaming.

Anyone remember seeing the first 3D home console games? Ok, so Starfox on the SNES was nice, but with games like Tekken and Mario you knew that gaming had changed direction. For the first time, gaming could mimic reality.

Since then, of course, things have progressed on a course to realism. Better graphics, more polygons, smoother framerates, better sound, bigger plots...

But what is it that the Next-gen consoles have to offer? Well, just better graphics, more poly....

Get the idea?
So what can be done to take gaming to the next step- what is the "next 3D"?

Ideas?
