Recent rumors have suggested that there are plans to make Gears of War a trilogy, yet Mark Rein, Epic Games boss, has responded by saying why stop at three, if people want more want more?

Responding to rumors on the company forum, Rein stated that the life of the game might be longer than we thought.

“Gears is a trilogy? If we can keep making quality games that fans obviously want then why would we have to stop at three,”

He later goes on to compare the series with the likes of Final Fantasy and Super Mario.

“I don’t see the Metal Gear Solid, Mario, Grand Theft Auto or Final Fantasy series (among others) stopping at three and they’re still delivering compelling entertainment content that’s easily worth the money”

Is this wishful thinking, or will Marcus Fenix really become as famous as Nintendo’s plumber? Obviously as long as people are interested and willing to buy more Gears of War games, Epic will keep them coming. But they’ll have to make more than just sequels in order to compete with long standing series like Final Fantasy and Zelda.
