Glad to see vsXIII hasn't been shit-canned. Looked like a true return to form...and I honestly think this will in many was be comparable to Final Fantasy VII, at least in story and aesthetics.

A nice change of pace from the RPG-on-Rails XIII.

Really ?

Versus looks totally like an evolution of Crysis Core but nothing like the good ol' VII.

While the "on rails" XIII was trying to re-emulate X. Unless you are talking generally about production values.

trying to emulate X?  sure, trying maybe,but horribly failing at. where are the side quests?  the minigames?  where is the deep and interesting villain?  where's the proper character development?  where's the quality turn based combat?  

FFX was linear, yes, but it wasn't 'on rails', and it actually gave the player freedom to explore and do sidequests.
