What's so great about an unproven studio developing Sony-exclusive games with a huge number of developers and a ridiculous budget?
1) It`s different studio now.
2) Huge number of developers - so it`s a bad thing?
3) Ridiculous budget - again bad thing?
Guerrilla Games has not yet shown themselves to be anything but a great producer for the hype factory.
1) Killzone: Liberation
IGN - 9.0
Gamespot - 8.3
Avg Ratio: 80%

80% - GOOD game, without 3 yeas of development, without 135 developers, without 41$ mln. budget.
The first Killzone is evidence of this; many called it a "Halo-killer" long before release, but the end result was mediocre.
The first Killzone was developed by different team.
Sony added around 100 developers to Guerrilla Games for Killzone 2 Project.
