Poll: Trilogy! :(

[Snakktastic]

There is a Assassins Creed 2. it might be set in the 1700s during the French Revolution.This is only a rumor tho.

I think Bioshock should be left as a stand alone game. I don't see where the story can go.

Me too, frankly, unless they decide to set it decades later or something, like System Shock 2. I think that the story gets pretty well resolved at the end, so a sequel is just a pure cash grab (as is the addition of multiplayer, etc. - it's absurd). The fact that Ken Levine isn't even involved with it suggests that a) it won't be quite as good as the first and b) he realises that it can't go anywhere meaningful story-wise in relation to the first game, anyway.

Ken Levine's not involved? That's almost as bad as a Deus Ex game without Warren Spector.

A gamwhich set itself up for a sequel (possibly trilogy) was Prey. I had no empathy for the character, as the guy just seemed like a major dick, but the gameplay and the overall story of the sphere was intriguing, and I hope they follow it up with a couple of games. The whole portal gameplay was fun and interesting, and I do occassionally enjoy a game with a gimmick. Obviously Prey 2 would need something new...

...what? don't look at me.

I also await an Assassins Creed sequel, as i would count the first game as one of my favourite of this generation.

They're going to make both the upcoming TinTin movie and The Hobbit into trilogies.

A good trilogy has 3 parts, each one with a self contained ending but plot threads that persist throughout, most things forget this.

The original Star Wars works well as a definer of the "good" Trilogy Format, in each episode there is a firm ending, it just happens to leave something open every time. A good trilogy goes

Episode 1: Happy Ending, Open Ending.
Episode 2: Bad Ending, Open Ending.
Episode 3: Happy but Bittersweet Finale, Closed Ending.

You should never end on a cliff hanger in a Game Series, unless you do it like Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga.

A trilogy can't be bad at the end???

A Trilogy is not that bad, but in my opinion evey game should have some kind of wrapped up ending, not some shitty scene (evil stare at 'Assassin's Creed' and 'Jericho')

While Assassin's creed was way too short and not wrapped up enough, it doesn't deserve a glance over Halo2.

My problem is that the developers forgot about the internet. Instead of wanting to buy the next game, I usually just want to check Wikipedia to see how everything turns out.

Starcraft II is being released as a trilogy (1 part = 1 teams campaign) and therefore i have to like trilogies coz...well, its starcraft.

No,it worked for LoTR, it worked for starwars, its only when they made SW into a sextology that they screwed everything up.

in respect to games, if i like a game, odds are im gonna wanna play a sequel, and lets face it after playing 2 sequels your pretty much burned out on the plot and chars. so i think a trillogy is the perfect number of games for a series,

please note, if you work at lion head studios ignore this post all together, i dont want to see fable 3

i would agree, except that they are changing it to a period with guns, i like games without guns, it feels much more tactical

which is what being an assasin is all about
