Games like these definitely still have their audience, I'm personally thinking about picking this up soon.
There are still enough successful games around that don't focus on adding the latest and greatest in terms of graphics & functionality. Mainstream gaming news-outlets are also wildly positive about this, so good chance that it's going to do very well.
I highly recommend it. It's flashy and well polished, but still feels like an old-school solid game and could end up being one of the timeless ones.
