Has anyone else realized this trend? I mean it seems like so many ips might be coming to a close, or at least dangerously close to becoming milked. I mean... Mass Effect 3, Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, resistance 3, MVC 3, Fear 3, Assassin's Creed 3,  hopefully Diablo 3, and probably a lot more. 
 
There are also in general and even larger amount of sequels coming out: Dragon age 2, dead space 2, little big planet 2... etc. I'm just worried cause for every new ip game coming out next year(bullet storm... I guess we can count the re-boots of deus ex and x-com) there seems to be like 3 times as many sequels. Now I understand that companies don't want to take risks on an unproven franchise, but going back to the whole trilogy thing, this seems to be the end of a lot of the major established franchises.  
 
Do you think 2012 will mean the dawn of new ips? Or will companies just take the safe route and start milking their games away?
