Same here.
While the core is clearly pleased, I don't know how many people getting consoles at Christmastime follow all this stuff. It's hard to say how big a factor this will be sales wise--the $100 price difference may end up being more important.
I was always more interested in Versus/XV. XIII seemed pretty "eh" from the start, what with SE citing COD as a design reference and all. :p
As much as I loved this, I also fell in love with the reveal trailer for Versus back in '06. I know the game looks awesome--I'm especially impressed by how well Noctis' fighting style in the trailers matches up with actual gameplay. But I want a goddamn release date already.
I was in high school when this was first announced; I graduated from college a year ago. Yet I don't know any more about when the game is coming out now than back when I was 18.
Yeah, that part sucks. I love PS+, but having to pay for multiplayer now is kind of "eh". It was the only bad part of an otherwise great conference.
LMAO I know. XD
Sony completely rewrote the entire framework of the next-gen console war in something like 3 minutes. MS has a monumental recovery effort in front of it.
People are going to remember that for a long ass time. :p
I suspect that Redmond is full of dread and anxiety tonight, to put it lightly.
