Cussan Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of…” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property — its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. — have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Recording, Editing, and voice over were made by me.

29.01.2023Kinda interesting development a bit into the 2000. There is always a good looking game followed by an later less good looking one, and it is almost every time… So its 2 steps forward, one step back.
Also kinda odd you skipped C&C Renegade, Alien VS Predator Series, Star Wars Shadows of The Empire, Star Wars Dark Forces, Max Payne, Soldier of Fortune, Doom 3.

29.01.2023WOW —–> 09:08
Its obvious that animators and developers of Bulletstorm either was hired by the Doom 2016 Team or The Doom 2016 team took heavy and deep inspiration from Bulletstorm. What we see here regarding The Weapon animation, and what is without doubt the early stages of Glory kill animation of a revenant.

28.01.2023For 2005 why would you put fear and not cod 2. That was still beat cod to date. Anything after modern warfare was no longer cod pretty much
Tommy
28.01.2023Why would you play half these games on a console?! Criminal. Still don't understand how people play fps on consoles
Tommy
28.01.2023Honestly so many of these game spool so weird on console. So glad i played pretty much all of them on PC.. Apex legends for example, as a game has nothing on games like allied assault or cod 1. What games those were.

22.01.2023I remember when Wolfenstein and Doom came out and it looked crazy. Never thought a game could be like that. Never in a million years did I think games would look like they do today.
