Ah, I see the comparison. First of all, the notion that you should doubt a mediocre-to-bad game's sequel is valid. I wasn't convinced Killzone 2 would be good until I played the beta.

That said, there are some slight differences between those 2 series: Killzone 1 is a little better at 70%, and Killzone: Liberation, also developed by GG, is at 77%. GG was also bought by Sony and Sony tends to put out quality first/second party games (similar to Nintendo). They received help from several developers that work with Sony.  The expectations were raised because of that.

 

Well, as you are clearly stating, a developer can produce a higher quality title based on a mediocre game if they receive the necessary support ...

The only thing we really know about Red Steel 2 was that it was initially scheduled for a mid 2008 release and Ubisoft delayed the game in order to rework it because the Wii was becomming a higher priority system. Since then Ubisoft has said some discouraging things, and released some encouraging games, which means that if the game is still in production we don't know what direction it will be taken in. Still, there is reason to believe that if Ubisoft is still working on Red Steel 2 it will be a better game than Red Steel.
