Actually most of what you quoted (makingmusic) referred to the games graphical interface, which I said in my post DOES look very impressive.
As for gamespot? There was scarcely a mention of gameplay in that preview. All the preview seemed to say was that GG was doing well at creating ambiance (but as IGN pointed out, that may be to the detriment of gameplay). As for barrels blowing up and killing enemies whilst distorting your view? Can anyone say Goldeneye 64?
And me owning a PS3? It will depend what the Xbox 360/Wii line-ups early next year look like. At one time, it seemed like Versus would release early next year, but now I wouldn't be surprised if it takes until 2010 to make it to Australia
