Mercenaries 3 - revealed! - Game|Gravity

Aevir · 11-02-2008, 03:11 AM

Four days after it teased sequels to Dead Space, Army of Two, and Battlefield: Bad Company, EA has confirmed that another follow-up is being planned. During a post-earnings conference call this afternoon, EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed that his company is planning a third installment in the Mercenaries series, developed by its Pandemic Studio.

Mattias will be back!

"There will be a Mercenaries 3 and, if I have anything to do with it, there will be a Mercenaries 10," declared the outspoken executive. The proclamation was a brief bright spot in an otherwise dour afternoon in which EA revealed it was laying off 6 percent of its workforce and reported a loss of $310 million for the July-September quarter.

Riccitiello's ardent support may surprise some, given the occasional thumping Mercenaries 2: World in Flames received from critics. However, despite mixed reviews, the game has been a commercial hit. As of September 30, the oft-delayed title had sold 1.9 million copies internationally--as many units as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 and nearly as many as Spore

I didn't really enjoy Mercenaries 2 either.

Personally, I think it got way too much hype.

Based on the Mercenaries 2, I'm not really looking forward to Mercenaries 3.

Over hype is what happens when EA is distributing it. I got Army Of Two. I wasn't holind out for it, untill a friend told me how awesome it was. i got excited I bought it. I played it. 5 hours later I was wondering why the **** I listened to anyone.

Bad EA. Bad.
