What games "broke the [genre] mold" and were punished

People don't hate Galerians any more than say Koudelka, Parasite Eve, D or Illbleed. Resident Evil was just such a breakaway hit and effective use of that gen's processing resources it's obvious why everyone would use similar engines.

Parasite Eve was a success though

Never played this game. What's it about?

>>3500995
So was Galerians?

>>3500997
Angsty kids that explode as nukes.

>>3500997
It's like Akira with fetch quests

Not AFAIK. Then again somehow it did get a sequel

Alien Resurrection on PS1 was a very early adopter (maybe the first?) of what is now the typical FPS control scheme for controllers but was panned for it at the time.

Yeah I think I remember games that used that control style weirding reviewers out. But then I don't think I've ever played a FPS that was entirely comfortable on console no matter what the controls.

I like the first Galerians, but the sequel was hot garbage.

>>3501052
What did they screw up?

I know it felt incredibly weird for me switching from single analog controls after playing so many FPS games on the N64 to dual analog when it was becoming a thing.

Made it more of a straightforward action game, and totally removed the whole resource management aspect, causing anything resembling tension to disappear along with it.

>>3502235
pretend the sequel to Galerians is Parasite Eve 2

I'm beating my dick
