Given the current trend of sequeling everything to oblivion I’d say “at least two” was an estimate conservative in the extreme.

I still have great confidence in this one. Dead Space was pretty dull, but if the combat system can hold your interest they could have a cult hit .

Blerk with Sony’s wonderful inability to market things. I ahve to admit, that I am totally not worried for Dante’s Inferno.

The trouble with this one is, it’s going to be coming out at about the same time as God of War. That doesn’t seem like the best of ideas, to be honest.

but that’s the thing, I think calling it terrible is hyperbole. sub-par compared to other similar offerings — perhaps. I’d still argue that it was a lot of fun for the few hours that it lasted, only if you were playing co-op though.

Army of Two is a pretty good recent example, how good the sequel looks is sort of off topic, the first was terrible and EA decided to make a sequel either way.

not true, Godfather III ain’t coming anytime soon.

then, look at Army of Two — first game didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but the second one improves on it VASTLY. I think there’s no denying that from what we’ve seen so far, it looks rather kickass.

I’d genuinely would like to know what shoddy game EA is making sequels for?

also, I think Mirror’s Edge is an acquire taste and by no means objectively shoddy.

Mirror’s Edge was more then shoddy.
Though i dont see the point, i never said the game didnt look good, just that EA will release a sequel no matter how the first turns out.

Gekidami, now, I might be a little biased, but teh fuck, EA has been releasing quality games for a while now… not to mention the EA partners programme.

Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge and Fifa 09 weren’t shoddy, now were they? Not to mention Burnout Paradise, which a lot of people consider their favorite racing game of this gen.

I am sure Dante’s Inferno will be a bundle of fun once it comes out.

What I saw of it was very good. Technically awesome.

Not going to make any other games in the series unless this one comes out fantastic? I call BS on that, this is EA after all.
