    EA and Activision just dissolve developers and run them into the ground.

    Ubi is putting out pure quality. So has THQ. Be a great joint venture.



    Life!? ... What console is that on?

    Seriously, who cares?

    Hate a company? Good for you. You hate someone that doesn't even know, or care, that you exist. While I enjoy the games said company makes.

    Enjoy the games, people.

    No reason why you can't do both.

    Generally I dislike ubisofts games. Their big franchises like splinter cell and assassins creed are more movies than games, IMO. They kind of play themselves.

    However, in the last month or so I bought 2 ubisoft games that are changing my opinion about them. Specifically zombie u (which, while aesthetically generic, is actually a legit survival horror game with some brutally hard gameplay; not nearly as bad as people say) and farcry 3, which is a remarkably fantastic game.

    So, they may do right by some if those thq properties if they pick them up and leave the developers alone. I think they're improving, myself.

    I think that Ubisoft and EA are the front runners for most of THQ's assets, specifically the WWE license for EA and Saint's Row for Ubisoft, although there will probably be a bidding war for that franchise. I think Darksiders, Homefront and any of their other ip's/licenses will go for very little, probably only garnering interest from one or two companies at most. Square Enix, Bethesda and Epic may also show interest in THQ's assets but I don't see Activision caring at all. It's not really their strategy to buy franchises like that these days. It would be ironic if Rockstar/Take-Two bought the Saint's Row series but I see them having just as little interest in THQ's assets as Activision. So atleast EA will have two of THQ's licenses(they already bought the UFC license from them earlier this year and I can't see anyone else wanting the WWE license to continue annualizing it other than EA). The real question will be who pays the most to get Saint's Row.

    EA already tried for two GTA clones, The Godfather series and The Saboteur, so I'd think they'd be interested in acquiring a Saints Row.

    I don't know how long it's going to be until anyone gets anything from THQ though, as Clearlake Capital Group has already purchased THQ and all of its assets for $60 million. THQ may remain independent of any other major publishers and just work for this company instead of being sold off piece by piece.

    You're truly an idiot. Yes Rayman Origins is Fantastic so is the AC series and Farcry 3. Rayman Legends looks amazing and loved the demo.

    THQ's Clearlake Capital deal fell through because of investors and now they're auctioning off titles one by one. I don't think that they can auction off WWE since it's really not their property, but whether they can or can't, I hope EA gets WWE and Saints Row. Don't care about the other THQ titles.
