THQ can't even catch a break in death

B-radical4358d ago

Microsoft should of purchased thq ;)

tiffac0084358d ago

Assets have already been liquidated or sold. It would not be in the best interest of MS to buy them at this point.

Invest this 941 grand into Yakuza 5 localization

Firan4358d ago

That would make my day. Why did we get a zombie spinoff Yakuza and now we haven't heard anything about Yakuza 5?

Goro4358d ago

Because they made no profit with Dead Souls because of their lack of advertising but i highly doubt it would be the same with Yakuza 5

ThanatosDMC4355d ago

I was okay with it though i started missing stomping people's faces after trudging through the underground to kill the main true boss of the game.

xtremexx4358d ago

Cmon just leave THQ alone man, i dont even think they can pay half of that.

Baka-akaB4358d ago

Another one of Sega's screw ups and bad investments for a change .

TooTall194358d ago

A top-15 most played Steam game is a bad investment? For $60 games it's probably in the top 5. Even if Sega doesn't get the extra million I'm sure in the long run CoH is a great investment.

Baka-akaB4358d ago

Nah i badly expressed myself , i'm talking about them hovering like vultures on a corpse that wont give anything else . Like you said they are already making money of the game , and they wont be the primary recipient of anything THQ would still have

Atlus coming in strong for Sega thankfully

CrimsonWing6932d ago

What about the Yakuza series and Sonic?

_Decadent_Descent31d ago

I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

OtterX33d ago

I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.

Deeeeznuuuts32d ago

I've always said this, would much prefer SEGA, such a shame.

blacktiger31d ago

this was all part of the plan to give Microsoft the spot

chicken_in_the_corn31d ago

Would be interesting to see what they would do for a modern console.

Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.

Profchaos32d ago

Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.

Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.

I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.

Knightofelemia33d ago

I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
