They should just scrap the whole series. Was never any good anyways. This mess seems to have just been the final nail in a rubbish series.
They want to do more third person shooters they can always just do something else. Then again they already are doing a whole new sci-fi third person shooter, and they started while this was in development, so it looks like they were already looking to do that anyways. What's lost anyways? A setting they built and abandoned what they'd established by game 2. Something built around a bunch of gameplay ideas they abandoned before the first game was even released, and others that turned out to never be fulfilled.
