Some games, such as LSD: Dream Emulator, proved too bizarre even for the anything goes style of martial arts design that came to define that era Japanese games.
Of course, not every PlayStation experiment lead to the establishment of a new genre. Would Hatsune Miku’s Project Diva series exist without early PlayStation rhythm games like Parappa the Rapper? Would Cooking Mama exist as it does today without Ore no Ryouri? Even something like Dark Souls can trace its lineage back to a single PlayStation game that made a lot of unorthodox decisions. It seemed like developers had carte blanche to try basically whatever they wanted, and this resulted in a lot of experimental games that, while bizarre at the time, would eventually become mainstays of the video game industry. The late 90s were a wild time for the PlayStation, especially in Japan.
