I think its safe to say at this point that DMC 2 will not be coming out.

They should've stayed with Sony. 

To be fair, the position they were in after HS was bleak.  Sure, make another title, but there was no guarantee that PS3 was going to take off in sales like it did and they may have just ended up developing another bomb that would net them no profit AGAIN.

Unfortunately, I do kinda think they made the wrong decision.  The title would probably have been releasing in 2009 around the same time as the price cut.  Given the fact that they would have been more used to the PS3 tech by then too, then we could possibly have seen an Uncharted 2 style improvement in quality if they were indeed going to make HS 2.  And maybe it would've had a sales boost from people waiting for God of War 3, too.

But no matter, it is what it is.  At the time they made the decision which was most likely to pay off for them.

Their position with Sony was strong for a start and if they had stayed a home grown Sony company they would've flourished with the help of the gaming companies and resources Sony had. HS2 would've been a major hit. They went multiplat and they havent made as much combined as they did (yet again) as they did exclusive with the resources Sony gave them. To this day no company has given them the resources Sony had to create a large scale game. HS remains the largest in terms of production costs and value. I just wish they would've stayed and then come into their own as a respected company rather  than jump than jump the gun so prematurely. I am sure Sony would've funded a second HS.
