So that's where Andross ends up after StarFox.
Few CGI movies ever matched the animation of the tip-toeing dragon in Vandal Hearts' Saturn opening:

Skip to 1:03 if you want to get straight to the good stuff.
I'd say it still holds up.

Not as mindblowing as it used to be, far from bad looking.
I remember playing Driver 2 for the first time and being blown away by the CG intro.
It kind of still holds up a bit. http://youtu.be/QuftCkAdn70
PC version, but don't forget, it is from a older build which was shown in E3, ComicCon & GamesCon.. now they have newer build & trzing to make the graphics even better & fixing things
Witcher 2 on PC had terrible pop in so why wouldn't #3?
William Birkin takes extreme measures in RE2 - a cutscene that seemed so absurdly glorious at the time that my flatmate reloaded his previous save and fetched me to watch it.
Resident Evil 2: T-Virus Outbreak: http://youtu.be/BnH5oVqyWEQ
Somehow, I still find PS1 CGI to be oddly beautiful and seem to enjoy it more than any HD stuff created today. I don't know what that says about my eyesight, but it probably ain't good.
This in particular:
Onimusha
j/k
Marvelous!
Reiko looks a doll, but the actual scenes with the cars still look great. This part in particular looks amazing even today

20 years ago. Still looks amazing !
I'll never forget the first time I saw a FF9 CGI.
Completely blew me away.
This in particular:
Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 CGI scenes
What is the best CGI from PSone(graphically speaking)?
Maybe Tekken 3? Koudelka? Legend of the Dragoon?
Code Veronica opening. I remember my friends and I being blown away by the skin and lip textures in Claire's close ups...

I remember thinking "There's no way games will ever look as good as Final Fantasy IX's cutscenes!"
Even FFX's CGI is starting to look dated
But overall animation is still in its favor. From the way the clothing moves to character movement. Character movement in games is still improving and we're just now starting to see advances with clothing in games like Bloodborne, Unity, and The Order.
Dragon Lore
The passage of time is kind to no one.
All of PS1 games era CGI videos.
The exception is FF VIII and IX. Maybe Tekken 3 too.
20 years ago. Still looks amazing !
Silent Hill 2 CG still looks great, is what this tells me.
It's true, it still holds up decently in motion.
For now.
To be fair, all these old CG renders were designed to be seen in low resolutions. Only now in this 1080p re-renders can I see that they bothered to texture veins in FFX, mildly as it is.
Yeah Silent Hill 2's presentation still blows me away. Its so dark ,grounded and uniquely animated.
Reiko looks like a doll, but the actual scenes with the cars still look great. This part in particular looks amazing even today
