It was...weird. Very, very weird.
We're getting these new consoles, and console addons, that use compact discs, so there's more room for all these...weird gimmicky things. So you're getting lots of FMVs, some games that are made up entirely of FMV, games with CD audio soundtracks, weird polygon stuff that the hardware can barely handle, awful looking pre-rendered graphics, awkward "where will 3D gaming take us?" gameplay...a lot of devs didn't really know what to do with 3D, or CDs, but they knew if they made things bigger and flashier, it would sell.
Just look at Super Mario 64. When it came out, it was this huge thing that would change gaming forever...but today, it's just absurd. The first thing you do in the game is stretch Mario's face out =)
