Well, early PS3 developers were hit hard - being hard to program for, those who opted to go for very nice looking launch titles had to spend a lot on them... a dev could probably make heavenly sword for a lot less now that there are better tools and more experience with the hardware.

Yeah, Heavenly Sword was alot of fun for me as well. My main complaint was the good was very short. |
it is, and the ending also.
Offtopic :
so if Heavenly Sword IP is owned by Sony , i hope they don't F up the story and make it God Of War like , since its not going to be made by Ninja theory.
but potiental sequel or rather prequel would be about the former warrior that had the sword, but it still wouldn't be fun without a woman as the lead, i really loved Nariko and Kai.

Heres the source The London Daily Mail (5 December 2003) |
Sam's character was the 2nd most important Hobbit in the films after Frodo. If not for Sam, they'd have lost to Sauron (lol!). He's one of the central characters, up there with Smeagol, Gandalf, Strider, etc.
Sean Astin was in The Goonies. That makes him a bigger pre-LOTR name than Andy Serkis, and I'd argue he's probably bigger post-LOTR name too given the general public can actually recognize him... $250k for 2 years work, for a lead role in a $100m+ trilogy is pretty shameful, but we really don't know how anyone was paid given Sean's the only one who went on record with it.
Also, the Daily Mail is a tabloid. Have a more reputable source?

They already had the code and if they developed HS2 they would have where they were going set in stone. I'm sure they could have reduced costs drastically on the second one if they decided to do it. Also the ps3 has more than tripled its user base. It really just depends how their next game goes to know if it was a good idea or not

I think these stories are common on the Wii as well. That would explain why developers often ignore the Wii for quality releases.

The significant proportional difference between HD focused versus Wii focused devs closing up shop would imply otherwise...

Many of those developers were struggling for years. Not being able to make quality games this gen was the final nail.
