THQ files for bankrupcy

That's not even the full intro for death. Having seen the series, I do say they have one of the most believable Deaths to date though, in any game or movie.

Hell yes. They should make a game just inspired by his character in Supernatural :love: . I found that that intro wasn't substantial enough to prove my point ^_^. He truly shines when he speaks.

Ubisoft to make a bid?

I'd rather THQ not be bought by someone already in the industry. If this happens I hope that Ubisoft doesn't make Relic titles online-only.

That is sad sad news.

Ah, that's too bad dude. Hopefully the next generations will continue on well with their franchises.

They better do a Darksiders 3.. and stick with the plan to make it multiplayer *eyes Rockstar intensely* I'm TALKIN TO YOU!!

--- edit ---

Darksiders 1/2 sold well enough. Their trouble (really, there is no demise, they'll probably be fine after the bankruptcy) is a result of their focus on licensed titles, which weren't selling as well as they needed, and which they got a lower profit margin on anyway. Even more so than that, uDraw really bled them dry, they lost hundreds of millions on that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDraw_GameTablet

Darksiders one sold excetpionally well. 2 on the other hand, they put quite a bit of money into promoting it, and sales didn't come close to their projections. A big part of that is to blame

Atari are going under too

 

[Zeonix]

What does Atari even make?

 

[Deverz]

Neverwinter nights was probably their last game

They also made Test-drive unlimited

Nostalgia aside, I can't say I'll miss the company.

I'm still deeply wounded by Sega having the rights to the Warhammer games.

Sega does right by Total War. They might manage to not mess it up.

Total War doesn't convince me that they know how to do a sci-fi setting correctly, as all of their games rely on guns either being really shitty or non-existent. That being their only good title also probably means no sequel to Space Marine, or if they do, it'll be like Viking and make me want to kill myself. After the crimes against humanity they label superhero games, I have little faith in them.
