I'm not seeing what's so special about 2013 so far. Most of what we know that is coming in Q1 looks pretty awful so far. Stuff like Dead Space, Bioshock, Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell and yet another samey god of war and gears of war. All I've got on my list for Q1 as far as must haves go is South Park, GTA and Last of Us.
New consoles can be exciting but in this current industry how could anyone be anything but nervous for them? How many gimmicky useless features will they incorporate all for people who don't want to play games at all? What if they're not as powerful as we need them to be? What if the budgets skyrocket again and we end up with a generation that was worse than this one?
So yeah 2013 looks pretty bad right now.
