We've spoken to Splash Damage's Richard 'Rahdo' Ham in the past, so we know he's no stranger to a certain amount of exuberance about the game he's working on, Brink. In his latest interview with Eurogamer, his excitement reaches a fever pitch and he confirms plans for a "second and third" in the Brink series.
"We already have big plans for that," Ham said. He hopes that Brink's integration of online play -- a combination of Burnout Paradise's freeburn mode and an FPS -- will best reigning multiplayer kingpins Halo and Call of Duty. Of course, upcoming new entries in each of those franchises are certain to put up a fight before succumbing to Mr. Ham's ambitions.

You just won. For serious, any man(or woman?) who makes a 'Brink' reference is okay in my book.

A Brink trilogy?
But I thought Sarah Palin said we can't brink.

I seriously doubt this game will make any sort of "Splash" in the gaming industry. Maybe a light ripple. This is mostly due to the horrible title and the "tinyhead" cheatcode being on all the time. I didn't even wanna click on the article because of the name and have ignored most information I've seen about it.

I had no idea that there was a precedent for tinyhead games leading to failure.
Person #1 "Hey, you going to buy that new game?"
Person #2 "Dunno yet, any word on the head sizes?"
Person #1 "Oh you're one of those people!"
Person #2 "One of WHAT people?"
Person #1 "C'mon man, don't be like that. You know what I mean."
Person #2 "Ugh...look...'man', I've been burned too many times by games that feature dudes with small heads...tiny heads...whatever... and...I'm just not going to do it anymore! I'm not going to keep supporting tiny heads because it's just going to turn around and bite me in the rear, okay?!?"
Person #1 "Is this because people think YOU have a small head?"
Person #2 "What?!? No one thinks that! Who thinks that? What people? You? Are you all, 'psst hey Person #2 has a tiny head, pass it on'? Is that you saying that? Dude! You can eat it! My head is awesome! It's awesome!
Person #1 "Yeah, keep thinking that dude. Later."

Usually when a developer plans to release more games before even releasing the first one, it's not a good sign

Small heads are actually better for gameplay, believe it or not. They make headshots harder to achieve, cutting down on sloppy accidental headshots. If you get a headshot in a game with small heads, you had to work for it.

Is this the art direction of the people who created team fortress?

I've seen this game in action. It fucking rocks.
The only reason this game won't be made into a franchise is if they botch the marketing for it, or every gamer becomes a giant fucktard.
This game is ALL about team play. It's both cooperative and competitive at the same time, and on the fly. It looks to play wonderfully and is a spiritual successor to Wolf:ET... which is one of the fucking best online team games of all time.
With backings from Bethesda and id... I have no doubt it will be successful.
