Yes, that's why I sad "can be". Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. It would be nice if more fp-games would make you get more intense feelings. Why should I look at a character and his emotions if that could be mine? Surely it depends on which game you try to transport this and fp is definitely not the best way of presentation in any way but I think there is still a lot of potential in it besides of shooters (and even there is still potential).

Yeah, the gameplay video I watched was not narrated, so it look like he was just following linear objectives. But the area was much more open.

Hopefully at gamescon they'll show a new weapon in use and more then one enemy type/enemy tactic because the AI looks a bit basic. But I wasn't sugesting the game looks bad by any extent, just that nothings grabbing me at the moment. In my other comment, by character I meant they haven't shown anything which makes me think the story or world will have any heart. It seems like its just a set of objectives. But now I think back to it the febrauary demo teased quite an interesting story, but that was 6months ago and its been pushed to the back of my mind.

Personally I love first person view scenes in any games, one example is God Of War III,  at the very end, the game switches to fp view so you'd finsh of Zeus, it was perfect ..just perfect. I understand your point, but to tell a whole story without a real presence of the character is bad for the story.

let's be honest here, the vast majority of fp games is all about gameplay and don't even try to tell a good stroy :)

This looks pretty but I would mistake for a PC game from 2011. Have the graphics taken a hit since feb or is the engine just not well equipped to deal with organic landscapes?

So far Ryse and Forza are the only games which look like they actually belong on a next gen console. Obviously these are all launch games so I probably shouln't be so hard on KZ

I've recently been enjoying third person shooters more than FPS games. I don't know why but I think just seeing your character move, take behind cover or even being shot at makes you feel more connected to him/her. Seeing them get hurt and seeing them react to being shot at has a much more emotional effect than just seeing red blood on your screen in an FPS game. I also love some of the character animations that you get to see in third person in games such as the Last of Us.

I bought a PS3 the day KZ2 launched because the environments, animations, atmosphere of the battlefield, and MP design looked to be unique. Lke nothing I had seen on PS2 or my 360. Here is my issue with Killzone 6... the graphics might look great, but what can be done with the gameplay that I cannot already do on current gen shooters? The answer so far has been nothing. And even the scope and atmosphere of the battlefield and the environments are not positive elements of the game anymore. It looks like a Crysis knock off.

So I will keep my eyes peeled for some MP stuff because the SP stuff looks like a current gen game with great graphics. aka shooters that have been available on PC for years.
