OnlySP writes: The holiday season may be behind us, but there seems to be one more stuffed turkey waiting to be picked apart and feasted upon. Beleaguered publisher THQ filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 19th and failed in their attempt to push through a quick sale of the company’s assets to Clearlake Capital Group. After some legal head-butting between Clearlake and THQ’s creditors, the US Trustee overseeing the bankruptcy proceedings has ordered that the publisher’s assets, including studios and game licenses, will be auctioned off one-by-one on January 22nd.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.
Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.
Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?
The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo
Square Enix.
I hope Saints Row doesn't go to a major publisher. WB PLEASE pick it up....
If not, saints row 4 will probably be my last.
Don't care as long as they don't all end up at Activision and EA.
Saints is the only one that matters. Where that one falls will make or break the series. Can't land somewhere full of uptight corporate douchebags.
Saints Row IP is the obvious choice for top pick and I can see EA and Acitivion both fighting hard for this one.
That said, SR is definitely not the only game IP that needs to find a home.
Company of Heroes is an excellent RTS...but give it to Fraxis and Take 2 and let them put the Xcom treatment to it!
Homefront 2 - Crytek has this project now and I think they could be the right dev to make this game relevant. Ubisoft seems like a good home for this game.
War Hammer 40K Space Marine - was a great first step... Nintendo could use another hardcore FPS besides ZombieU.
Theres plenty more out there too...
