> lack of a stick on release
Sony literally fucking invented the dualshock "modern controller" lol. IT DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST YET. this is why the 80s / 90s / early aughts were so exciting, shit was honestly getting better. muh new console wasn't just "ooo wow these reflections are slightly reflectier", it was leaps and bounds ahead of the last one.
Fun fact: the first FPS with dual stick "modern" controls was criticized and not well received lol:

> 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. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection.

It was incredible at the time. Smooth 60FPS on a 233MHZ Pentium II. Relatively accurate. Wonderful memories.
