Nah, theres suppposed to be more, just if GoW3 flops, then the fanbase will most likely reject anything that drops after that, so no point in investing money into something that won't make money.
GoW3 is not going to fail, Cliffy knows that it can't fail, and that's why there is the Beta, and dedicated servers are going to make a huge difference as far as performance goes.
In an interview with Jeff Bell, Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing for Interactive Entertainment Business, Gamedaily talks about the Xbox 360′s second holiday push this year. But you’ve probably seen the Gears ads on TV already, so here’s the interesting part…
“Gamers today demand an excellent story in their games; they need to know what’s at stake, and why they should care. Excitement tops the list of desired emotions, but they want to be scared, too. They want the rush that comes from being scared by an enemy or trapped in a dark room and escaping with their lives. The goal of this ad is to establish Marcus Fenix as the hero of the Gears of War trilogy. The intention is to create emotional connection with him that is lacking in typical third-person action title marketing, by communicating a sense of desperation, loneliness, overwhelming odds, and the ultimate futility of the situation he faces.”
