This whole reveal has been a hilarious shitstorm of epic proportions. :p

Good gameplay is priceless. You can still have fun with a good game that lacks polish, but no amount of money or manpower can make up for poor/lackluster game design.
That's why I want to see more practical applications for this stuff. Give me a reason to be excited about what devs can do with it that I can actually relate to.
Indeed, the sense of disappointment--of how unncessary the game feels--ruins the experience for me more than anything else. When I first played it, I kept wondering why they didn't just make it a Vita game. But when I thought about it, I realized that I got more out of both PSP games than Ascension, mainly because I didn't give a shit about the multiplayer.
And dogs. Don't forget the dogs.
I don't know man, that sea life moves pretty realistically. I know I'm tempted to play through those underwater segments just to see it. :p
Seriously, though. The people most likely to get the new consoles are core gamers, and many guessed right away that this stuff didn't reflect actual console gameplay. Who do they think they're fooling, exactly?
Using shady tactics to oversell new graphics tech is nothing new, unfortunately. You think they'd realize by now that we'll be able to see whether or not they were lying once we actually buy the games. :p
Not only that, but neither are going to be a massive jump over the best looking current gen games either. At least not visually. The main advance (hopefully) will be in the scope and scale of the gameplay, as there won't be as many tech restrictions on devs this time.
Damn, Miyamoto is a sage. He was able to see almost twenty years into the future! XD
There are so many unpalateable caveats to Microsoft's vision that it has to be twice as good to be half as appealing. I just don't trust or like their handling of their products enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.
