Rumor: THQ cancelling their complete 2014 line-up. Looking for buyers.

Wasn't Homefront 2 targeted for 2014 too?

 

Whatever. THQ never had any good games/developers anyway. Thanks for not releasing Homeworld 3 in all that time, though.

Hopefully we'll still get Darksiders 2 and South Park. Sad for Dark Millenium. :shifty:

So that's why Relic hasn't announced anything in 6 months.

 

Well looking at their selection I can't say that PC gaming is at a great loss there, apart from the 40K MMO there wasn't much to look forward to.

 

Maybe Relic will get to make Homeworld now. After all THQ was the one pushing for endless DoW and CoH sequels/expansions.

Vigil sucks, and Relic hasn't made a single good game since 2006.

 

What was your point again?

 

I rather enjoyed the DOW 2 games.

DoW 2 games are good, polished games. They just aren't going to have the legendary status Relic's regular RTS games have.

 

I didn't like them all that much but you gotta give them credit for trying to do something different.

Don't care about "different" if the end result is a game that is in every way challenge-free (dumbed down) and made for 12 year old boys with all kind of weird sexual fantasies.

 

I'm no WH40K expert, but I always thought this was supposed to be a dark, depressive and gritty setting. DoW, and DoW2 even more, didn't leave that impression on me.

Err, what are you on about exactly ? Maybe use of 'rather' was poor, but I did like and enjoy the games enough to play through it and the expansions all twice on different difficulty settings. DoW 2 does try its best to portray the Tyranids invasion as a hopeless no-win scenario, although in universe it'd be one failed campaign (I guess the assumption is IG units elsewhere and holding the line).

Fair enough.

 

I'm just saying that the Relic I knew is no more. Heck, even Blizzard showed with SCII that they don't have it what it takes anymore. It's a very sad state in the strategy genre. And Ensemble is no more, too.

 

Guess Anno series and XCOM:EU is right now the only hope left to get a decent RTS/Tactical strategy fix.

There is Creative Assembly. Shogun 2 was great. Can't wait for their next game. And there is Eugen Systems.

I wouldn't put my money on XCOM:EU. It will be out on consoles as well. Therefore it will have small maps and a ****ty AI.

Well, blizzard admitted that they stripped a bit out of the game (units wise and such) to cater to the competative market.

thq publishes sci-fi game metro series and games made by volition who made sci-fi games like red faction and freespace and relic who made sci-fi games like homeworld and 40k. they are supposed to publish south park game by oblivion and insane by some director who directed hellboy and hobbit and some propaganda but well-thought game made by crytek. and they do not impose region restriction on their games unlike so many other publishers. and they are going down? i thought they did well with saints row 3. i thought they did well with darksiders. this is truly a dark, depressive and gritty setting.
