GamesRadar - THQ officially announced its bankruptcy and is going to be auctioning off its properties in late January. This means that the futures of its game series, like Darksiders, Company of Heroes, and Saints Row, are all up in the air. Some may never see the light of day again, but this is also the chance for these licenses to get a fresh start with a new publisher.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
PlaySation gamers are in for a treat today! Not only did Sony roll out its “Double Discount” PlayStation Store sale, but there’s also a THQ Humbe Bundle PS4 discount happening too!
Rockstar making Saint's Row.... Lol...
MS should buy them so to keep the good games multi-plat as a Publisher while pulling in the cash.
Square Enix already have Sleeping Dogs. They don't need to make another open world crime game like Saint's Row. We have too many of those already this gen. I'd prefer them to put more money into Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3 rather than that.
Whomever it is just dont f up saints row or darksiders & ill continue to be a customer!
Edit: Oh crap i didnt realise they were making the South Park: Stick of Truth & Metro Last light im looking forward to both of these.
Also I liked Space Marines & Red Faction dammit!
DarkSiders should go to Sony Santa Monica =P
