Really? I thought it was brilliant. It was a time of great innovation and experimentation whilst developers got to grips with how to build games in 3D. Every game that came out was a fresh take and were attempting things that had never been done before. Some of the biggest franchises in the world started that gen.

Those big franchises had the advantage that the majority of the old guard tanked with the step into the third dimension. Contra, Rock'n'Roll Racing, Mega Man, Sonic, Castlevania etc.; aside from Nintendo series and JRPGs barely anything made it past that era in an admirable fashion.

It also meant to go from 2D games approaching perfection to barely playable 3D games. I suppose it was brilliant, if you always thought that 2D games are childish.

So basically everything Japanese at that time translated well into the third dimension?

Also new titles like Metal Gear Solid were pretty damn good on PS1.

Only games that didn't translate will IMO are Resident Evil and GTA, but honestly I like the old school Resident Evil controls.
