Cliff Blezinski won’t rule out Gears of War 3 or 4

In an interview with Danish site Gamereactor, Gears of War producer Cliff Blezinski said that if Gears 2 is a success then a third game would be likely.

“I often feel that when a developer says ‘This is a trilogy’ right off the bat I think, ‘Shouldn’t they do the first game and see how it goes before you begin to think about a sequel?’ said Blezinski, translated back into English by videogaming247.

“The market is incredibly tough. You never know how a game is going to fair, so we take it game by game,” he went on.

“If Gears of War 2 is a success then naturally we’ll look at a third. The same applies if number three sells well, then we’ll have to consider a fourth.”

Gears of War 2 is out later this year.

Of course he won’t. He likes money, doesn’t he?

You can see why people called him Cliffy B for years can’t you? Spelling his surname or saying it is likely to end up with your monitor covered in spittle.

GOW3 and 4 eh? Yawn. U3 tech will be old and crumbly by then.

Makes perfect sense. Afterall, developing sequels on the same engine turns out cheaper than starting a new IP, so if there’s more money to be had, then more money will be available to spend on a new IP later on.
