Surprising approximately no one, Microsoft revealed today that Gears of War will get a sequel. Two, in fact. Following the implied rulebook of every successful game, book or film in history, the critically acclaimed shooter / hider has just transformed itself into the first entry in a trilogy.
The confirmation came from a Game Daily interview with Microsoft's Jeff Bell, who stated, "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... is to establish Marcus Fenix as the hero of the Gears of War trilogy. The intention is to create emotional connection with him... by communicating a sense of desperation, loneliness, overwhelming odds, and the ultimate futility of the situation he faces."
