No, I don't think so. It's too risky, too different in theme. Some reviewers will love it, others will hate it. New IPs often aren't refined enough, either, as they haven't had a chance to review what works well and what does not translate from paper to actual game-play effectively. As with Titanfall, I think we'll get a lot of "could have been better" comments, which is why sequels often get higher scores.
I'm just hoping the game does well enough that it turns into a continuing franchise, as I love the atmosphere and creativity of it.
