It is becoming a trend. Hopefully thoes who were Black Isle (Not the Corporate owner) start a new studio. I have seen at least three great developer teams go from where they were because of conflicts due to quality versus time in the last year. We need to keep a watchfull eye out there for them to start up and support their under funded but quality work instead of the mass money no story games out there.
Does any of this start to look similar to Hollywood vs. independants?
Technically isn't Lord of the Rings a single (long) story. When I first red the book no-one called it a Trilogy. I have heard that later it was broken up into its three parts but is still not considered a true trilogy.
As far as the Matrix. I would have been better to leave it as a single movie (the first one) and let the imagination of the idividual to end it instead of stretching the storyline to a thin second and third sequence.
I liked the second one mainly for some of the visuals more than the story.
