Sequels

Not to outweigh the announcement that sequels are coming for Dead Space, Army of Two, and Battlefield: Bad Company, we are now being told that Pandemic is going to be making a third entry in the Mercenaries series.

"There will be a Mercenaries 3 and, if I have anything to do with it, there will be a Mercenaries 10," said EA CEO John Riccitiello during a post-earnings conference call yesterday afternoon.

As someone who was a rather large fan of Mercs 2: World in Flames, I'm cautiously optimistic that the good people at Pandemic will be able to take what they learned and apply it towards making the next game just as fun, minus all of those wacky glitches.

If there's anything I learned from Fable, it's the CEO's that like to hear themselves talk (and like money a little too much) never learn from their mistakes.

I suppose we can hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

After the total letdown that the second one was I can't say I'm too excited for this.

I liked mercs 2 for PC, but the crashing every 10 minutes didn't help.

If they can just take out all the glitches I'd be a happy man even if they didn't improve anything else

I can't wait to see what sort of new and inventive ways the ai can come up with for me to fail a mission without any involvement from me.

I think you're the only person who learned that from Fable II, though. :P

I like sandbox. I like destruction. Therefore, I like Mercs. Moar is welcome.

How 'bout you patch Mercs 2 first, THEN worry about sequels?
