Not meaning to offend anyone, but I have zero hope for the Killzone franchise. They seemed to have great ideas on gunplay on Killzone 2 (someone even said "We don't want the player to feel like a bunch of guns jumping trough the level"). However, it is like some top executive said to them "No, no original ideas. We need a larger demographic, we need a more casual game". That's how I see KZ3. If executives keep pushing them to be testhosterone-fueled CoD-clone, that is what we will get. And judging by the trailer, I guess this is only getting worse and more generic. If they are really being pressed from the top like I think they are, we will get a 7 hour campaing that will focus on how much explosions the new PS4 processor can handle at a single time, and more-of-the-same MP without any really new additions. Playing safe. I want to be wrong, but I just think this is what will happen. I still wonder why Sony chose to focus so much on KZ and totally buried the Resistance series with the terrible R3 launch date and giving Burning Skies to Nihilistic. They destroyed a franchise with much more innovative potential than KZ.

Re: Talking Point: Why PS4's Remote Play Requirements Represent a Lesson Learned
After the disaster that was PS3-Vita remote play, I'll only belive it when I actually see it.
