Line 58:
* Despite going into 3-D, ''[[Warcraft]] III'' is still definitely a ''[[Warcraft]]'' game--though the jump did allow it to supplement its [[Full Motion Video|FMV]] cutscenes with cheaper and more numerous realtime ones.
** While in 3D, ''[[Starcraft]] II'' has very similar gameplay to the original. As does ''[[Diablo]] III'' to its predecessors. Blizzard does a good job at this it seems.
* The transition to fully polygonal graphics was very natural for ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'', since earlier games were already in sprite-based 3D.
* ''[[Lemmings]] Revolutions'' is essentially a pseudo-3D version of the original, although does add extra objects like teleporters.
* The ''[[Myst]]'' series is an interesting example, as its first 3D installment was actually a [[Video Game Remake]] of the first installment, with only its MMO spinoff and the main series' final game originating as realtime 3D.

* ''Silpheed'' for Sega CD was a (flat-shaded) polygonal remake of the PC shoot-em up.
* ''[[Ys]]: The Ark of Napishtim'' uses 3D graphics [[Sprite Polygon Mix|with 2D character sprites]] (except in the [[Play Station 2]] version, which renders characters in 3D as well), but still has the overhead view of previous games aside from the original version of the third game. The the most recent installment, ''[[Ys]] SEVEN'', is fully 3D, even with character graphics.
* Although the first two ''[[Golden Sun]]'' games of the [[Game Boy Advance]] already used pre-rendered 3D sprites, ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' transitioned to actual polygonal graphics, though since the entire series uses more or less the same perspective, the gameplay is mostly the same aside from the option to control the game using the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen.
* ''[[Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney]]'' keeps both games' [[Visual Novel]] style, but now the characters are in 3D instead of using sprites.
* While the titular sims original [[The Sims|Sims]] game were 3D, the environment they lived in was not. ''[[The Sims 2]]'' was completely in 3D, and the ''[[The Sims 3]]'' took said 3D [[Up to Eleven]]. The core gameplay remains the same, with some added features here and there.
