"THQ has decided to enter the proverbial battle of modern first-person shooters and is tasking Kaos Studios to the job of overcoming the odds to take the world by surprise. Kaos Studios in turn has come up with a beautiful gameplan that is in the form of Homefront to show the masses that they have what it takes to compete against the brightest and best in the industry within the genre."
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.
Jack writes: "Back in March 2011, the first-person action shooter Homefront arrived on the Xbox 360 from THQ, along with a storm of publicity which included a really cool live-action trailer"
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.
I hope this is as cool as people are saying
looks pretty good...
