I never really cared for 8-bit music to be honest. Midi could be cool on PS1 games, but before PS1 audio quality it was sorta crap. That's why I love hearing old school game songs updated to modern. That's me though.
Gotta love how devs always spat this bullshit and when it comes down to it the PS4 Pro and X1X still look basically the same. 95% of the people who play consoles won't even be able to tell the difference.
I think I'm more interested in Sekiro as well, but mostly due to how it's going to be so different from a Souls game. It will be more like Ninja Gaiden. No leveling and experience points to be in, so nothing lost at death. Just straight up action adventure with a little story.
