I don't remember either, that wasn't me that mentioned those games. Though, Alien: Resurrection came out in 2000 for the PS1, and look at one quote from the Gamespot review:

"The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down."

So, even in 2000, 4 years after the N64, it was not compared to it.

Okay... I hope you realize that the C-buttons and the N64 stick did the exact same things.

Let me remind you of what you just said to me:

Well, I don't know what else to say to you.

You could tell me what the second stick was used for in Devil May Cry. I don't remember. The game had a fixed camera.

Bayonetta uses the second stick for camera control, but camera control was already a thing in Super Mario 64 over a decade earlier. Halo's and Far Cry's controls evolved from Turok, Goldeneye etc. on the Nintendo 64. Nobody who played Halo on Xbox, Timesplitters 2 on GC or Medal of Honor Frontline on PS2 was going "wow, this is really new", but rather perceived those games' controls as refinement of what the N64 already achieved a generation earlier.

So, you said that it wasn't perceived as something new, but rather as a refinement of the N64. Yet, I showed you a review that does not compare it to the N64 at all and instead views it as something completely new. Here's the link in case you're interested:

There's not one mention of the N64 there.
