There’s been whispers spoken in the deepest, darkest corners of the internet recently. Whispers that speak of growing financial trouble for THQ.
So let’s say THQ announces they’re effectively closing up shop in the next few days … how would that impact OnLive and all of the games you may have purchased on the service?
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!
Oh no, that would be terriable to us gamers....not OnLive, anything but OnLive /s
Lol. I think there's only 2-3 games that are made by or published by THQ out there. Everything else is from another developers and publishers.
this is why onlive is garbage
you would lose all of those games
and then like old reliable you would have to buy physical
I hope it isn't true. Thq is one of the last remaining developers I grew up playing games with in the 90's
That is why I am skeptical of Onlive. Even if the internet speeds improves and cloud gaming becomes successful, I am sure MS/Sony/nintendo would offer the same service together with physical copy to give consumer the choice+ exclusives from each company.
