Studio Cambridge's last game was released in October 2010. I'd assume they maybe did a bit of cross-studio work with Guerrilla helping to finish KZ3, but otherwise, I'd imagine they'd have been working on KZ Mercenary since early 2011. So it'll have had two-and-a-bit years of development, plenty of time really (Bend had two-and-a-half years developing UC Golden Abyss, but they were working without finalised dev kits).
Resistance was the rush job to get out early in Vita's life; Call of Duty was the 5-month-development-cycle game Activision pumped out when they realised Black Ops 2 wouldn't run on Vita. Killzone has always been the 'big' game that was supposed to push graphics and multi-player capabilities on the console, in my opinion. So let's hope it turns out well! From what I've seen so far, I don't have any worries.
