THQ's distant video game franchise, insane, from the mind of Guillermo del Toro, won't make it past the first entry in the planned trilogy if game one isn't a success, core games boss Danny Bilson revealed at GDC last week.
"We have aspirations to make a trilogy," Bilson told press at GDC. "If the first game doesn't work, there won't be a trilogy. It's not complicated."
Comparing the production of video game sequels to the movie industry, Bilson added: "If Avatar had been a flop then there wouldn't be two more sequels. And if the first Matrix wasn't a success there wouldn't be two more sequels."
"We have to succeed on the first one. And then we have to succeed on the second one! And then you can make the third one. It's not really that arrogant, if you will, to plan a trilogy because we're very realistic."

This is all pretty obvious stuff from a business standpoint. Obviously THQ won't pump money into a failed new IP, but it's good to know that plans are in place should the game succeed.
