As transparent as he is, Rex still can't say some things straight out. For example it's clear that he would rather have had access to the resources used for Longshot for 20 other things, but he has zero control over that. He's also still has to be a professional and say positive things about the mode.

He made a nice subtle little point about how the feedback during this year would go a long way in determining the future of story mode, i.e. it can be a more gameplay oriented mode if players demand it or maybe it gets de-emphasized and the resources get poured back into MUT or CFM.
