For me, I'm holding out for a ps4 version not because I want the textures to melt my eyes but I really need a solid framerate when playing these types of games. After reading about the slight lag in parry and rolling, coupled with my lack of skills, I need every advantage I can get. Sure, I'd like to see some nice looking graphics but this is FROM's Souls series. From Blighttown to Valley of Defilement, they have never been lookers. It's all about the gameplay.
I do concede the point that they should not have marketed such a higher quality lighting system and whatnot. That is deception, however, I would wager they didn't KNOW that they would run out of time because we all know that is what happened. This wasn't a mass deception played by FROM to sell us a bill of goods that they knew they would never achieve but rather the developers simply ran out of time to "tidy" it up. Yes, you can push out a release date a year and absorb the costs when you are a huge developer with a publisher that has deep pockets going to China but when you're not, pushing a release date out could mean going into bankruptcy and then NO ONE would get anymore games.
