Everything I've wanted to say has already been said in this thread, but it's not like they said they said they're neglecting gameplay, they merely said they were prioritizing story. This is fine, games spend so much time adding unique hooks to gameplay and evolving it that I get excited when I get to see the medium evolve in ways that are more interesting to me, namely, narrative delivery. People have already invited The Last of Us as a comparison, a game that clearly values presentation and story over gameplay. Last of Us still has really tight, enjoyable gameplay, but every part of it is cherry-picked from other titles. There is nothing wrong with putting efforts into story and presentation as long as the gameplay isn't abysmal and serves the narrative.
P.S: Doesn't "Presentation" sound so much better than "Visuals"?
