Many games have been marketed heavily - with extensive previews, advertisements, and hype - only to be a huge disappointment upon release. Usually this wouldn't be as much of a letdown, if it weren't for the fact the games were obviously being misrepresented in their marketing campaigns.

Rascal was presented as a Mario killer for PlayStation. Instead, it was just an extremely clunky 3d platformer more like Croc. Limited ammo, tight corridors, and a bad camera

Another example of a PlayStation game presented as a Mario Killer, but obviously falling very short - Blasto

3d platformer/action game where the level design for each stage consists of floating walkways, with mobs and traps littered throughout. Again, clunky controls and bad camera, partially due to PlayStation's D-pad. Very easy to fall over the edge due to Blasto's movement and floaty jumping - and no walls anywhere

How about Whole systems? 3DO and Jaguar tied, Saturn to a much much lesser extent

3D shooters didn't really work until the PS2. You need to make use of the 2nd stick for aiming. Otherwise you have no camera control, and have to rely on lock-ons.

face buttons work nice for wasd-like movement, at least when I play FPS on the N64, i use c-buttons to move and stick to aim.

Every mouthpiece of gaming journalism would rise up in anger against that Killing Time ad... how did we fall this far?

Oh man, imagine all the lefties shitting themselves into oblivion if this came out in the current year.

"We" didn't fall. 3DO did. The only people who get that edgy are people who are desperate for attention.
