2012 is already starting to be a miserable year for THQ, with reports in early January suggesting that the firm had cancelled its 2014 line-up along with the planned Warhammer 40k MMO.
The bad news continues, although THQ hasn't announced anything yet, but industry fundraiser and head of IGDA Mobile SIG Kevin Dent says that the troubled publisher will probably announce 170 layoffs at some point today.
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!
It's all over for THQ...
Thank you Homefront. This is what happens when games like Space Marine get little to no advertisement and games like Homefront go way over budget and schedule and then THQ heads decide that a massive marketing blitz costing millions in an attempt to copy another game and it's sales will save the day.
this tends to happen when you make a crap game like Homefront. I mean seriously, how bad was that? btw sucks to the guys who lost there jobs.
This better not delay Darksiders 2.
Or prevent Darksiders 3,4 and 5.
Thanks for the best racer online i ever played THQ moto gp was stunning in your hands.
