Correct, although it wasn't until gen 6 where the tech was there to make all of these innovations execute effectively.But everything that became what we now consider modern gaming...started then.
Analog sticks, online gaming, rumble, true 3D gaming... hell, even the first `cinematic` games.
The stuff you mention, graphics and framerates... has nothing to do with actual gaming.
That was the generation where we had the first 100M selling console... consoles even became a thing in Africa then. It cant be overstated how important the 5th gen was to gaming as we know it today.
Most PS1/N64 games were limited by the sub 20 frame rates, weird control schemes (N64 and even the Saturn), and really low poly visuals.
This game was a reality, one gen later (gen 6)

In real time at 60 FPS with full online features out of the box, and proper controllers that are still the basis for today.
