Well, the PS4 has been out for awhile but the ps3 will probably be the predominant platform of gaming for most of us for a bit longer. A good deal of folk haven't even purchased their playstation 4 yet, seeing no real reason to, wanting to wait for more games or a price drop (perhaps both!). I know I didn't buy my ps3 until several AAA plus games had come out, but my system seller was no doubt Demon Souls.
As for the playstation four, I'm really hyped for Metal Gear Solid V: the Phantom Pain and with reserved expectations, Final Fantasy 15. I'm being VERY careful with how much hype I'm going to give to Square-enix anymore, I think we can all agree that this previous gen was one of the worst for the company once considered an rpg behemoth and bastion of quality. The heavily hyped Final Fantasy 14, FF11 successor, was an unmitigated disaster at launch and required totally rebooting the game, re-evaluating design goals and hiring/firing new people. FF13 was a huge slap in the face to almost all of us loyal Final Fantasy fans as well, 20 hours of straight corridors, boring characters, non-sensical (in a bad way) story, blah blah BLAH.
Still, with what I've seen, I am willing to give Square the benefit of the doubt. I think FF15 looks...fun and I'm actually interested in the plot, since it reminds me of a fantasy themed version of the sopranos, from what I've heard and the cast of characters are at least more appealing than Lightning and co. Nothing has made me really roll my eyes yet but I don't know how I feel about the new DMC meets Matrix battle style. We will have to see.
What are you looking forward to?
