1.18 is suppose to be a pretty large patch. If they are redesigning the three zones, then this patch probably is the 33% mark for all of the updates they have planned to implement. As for a cut scene, i don't believe that it will happen, because PS3 players will never get to experience that cutscene for itself. I think there is already too much they are having to miss out on anyways, a cutscene will just be more work.
