'We've Been In Conversation With THQ Since January,' Says Nordic Games CEO

Yesterday's announcement regarding the second of THQ's intellectual property auctions yielded surprising results. Not only did Gearbox take home fan favorite real-time strategy franchise Homeworld, but out of seemingly nowhere came Nordic Games Publishing to scoop up almost everything else. Game Informer had a chance to speak with Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors about his company and the future of beloved series including Darksiders and Red Faction.

Talk is cheap. Make it happen and then we'll see.

WolfLeBlack4047d ago

Agreed, it could just be talk. But still, he comes across as refreshingly honest in an industry filled with PR talk that means little. Hopefully they'll deliver.

ALLWRONG4046d ago

Maybe some Darksiders 2 DLC then?

Baka-akaB4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

Loads of empty talk .Dont pretend you dont want to , you couldnt anyway .

You just got the licence , you'd have some nerve to release a sequel this year .

Roccetarius4045d ago

Well, Saints Row 4 was already supposed to come out as DLC, so they had most of it done.

@Roccetarius

I know, i was just making a joke.

JKelloggs4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

They were already in dev since last year. I highly doubt there would of been a Darksiders 3 this year because the last one came out last year.. Think about it...

Sorry, saw you were making a joke, disregard this :)

Baka-akaB4045d ago

Even taking it seriously , saint row remains with its original developpers :p. Darksiders not at all

WeskerChildReborned4045d ago

Hmm well if this game ends up being a "Sh*t sequel" then that would just be all talk, i'm hoping they can make this work and make a great sequel to Darksiders.

i disagree. i think this game is fun, you obviously dont understand motocross, or just cant grasp the controls...

Blue_stripes2839d ago

I'm new to the sport yes, something that I don't hide, but controls aren't the only issue I had with it, which I go into detail about.

cheeko2837d ago

well each to their own then

They confirmed Darksiders 3 years ago. Well in as much as they've said they wanted to make it. Then hired as much of the original talent as possible. founded a studio in america to house them all and then re-released the previous 2 games in the series to help fund it. I mean, how much more evidence do you want?

thatguyhayat2840d ago

Exactly not a lot of people know this. When they bought the feanchise they said theyd carry it on and said War story wasnt over

LucasRuinedChildhood2840d ago

This is pretty cool having the THQ name back out there, albeit, in a faint capacity.

blackblades2840d ago

They need to fix ps3 darksiders 2 online trophy so people can actually platinum the game. Morons put a online trophy in a single player game.

That Darksiders 3, probably going to happen next year

Alexious2840d ago

Personally can't wait for Red Faction, that setting has a lot of potential!

Resis7ance2840d ago

Agreed. Loved the original Volition game on PS2.

DeadlyFire2840d ago

Sooooo much so. Its ashame its collecting dust. I Loved RF 1 and played RF2 multiplayer with bots for awhile when I had no internet in those PS2 days. It was alright.

Majin-vegeta2840d ago

DS3&Destroy All Humans get on it chop chop.

Kalebninja2840d ago

So at least 7 will be THQ games so De Blob, Red Faction, Darksiders, Stuntman, Full Spectrum Warrior, Destroy All Humans, and Titan Quest. Sounds like a killer lineup to me.

Alexious2840d ago

Yeah, though we shouldn't expect AAA budget for all of them. Nordic Games isn't that wealthy.

quent2840d ago

Wish they would fund Stalker 2.

Alexious2840d ago

I don't know if they have that one, though

AnotherProGamer2840d ago

GSC World still own it and they will probably make STALKER 2 after they are done with Cossacks 3

Dangerous2840d ago

Hope for phoenix and the cursed mummy sequel.
