yes 09 will see a little bit a of diff. between the 2 with K2, U2, Heavy Rain, and possibility of GOW3 and GT5

I hope it will open other devs. eyes but i doubt it there to lazy

 

It's not laziness, it's expense. Unless you think developing games that can't make money is the only way to show their work ethic.

KZ2 will look amazing, but it's also the most expensive video game of all time. Relatively few developers CAN spend this much on a game, and even fewer franchises can support the notion. Double the development time/3-4x the budget means it takes truely massive sales for companies to justify making games that look like KZ2.

In some cases, you are right, expenses do influence games dramatically. On the other hand, it is down to laziness sometimes *HAZE* XD.

And btw, KZ2 is not the most expensive game of all time. Im 75% sure GTA holds that title at $100M
