I would certainly hope they do not try to make a sequel.  They damaged 
the game so completely with 3 that it's pretty much irrecoverable. 
Destroying the illusion of playing AS Garrett with 3rd person 
perspective, lack of rope arrows, complete lack of atmosphere or a sense 
of purpose (aka - bad plot, poor locations, incredibly low character 
involvement).....i could go on...

T2 fan missions have proven to be much better than T:DS could ever hope 
to be and as long as that keeps up there isn't much need for a new game 
anyway.

All good things must come to an end.
