Aussie classification website confirms it. I wonder if they picked up anything else form Sierra?

MassiveAttack · (10-11-2008, 04:49 AM)

Next up, Ghostbusters...

HK-47 · (10-11-2008, 04:49 AM)

Fuck yeah

Kulock · (10-11-2008, 04:54 AM)

Drill punch time!

SapientWolf · (10-11-2008, 04:55 AM)

Did they pick up World in Conflict? It's lackluster sales combined with stellar reviews reminded me of Grim Fandango. I was hoping it would get a second chance on the consoles, since it is easily the most action packed RTS ever made.

Waluvil · (10-11-2008, 04:56 AM)

Awesome, I hope THQ grabbed a bunch of the good games that Activision was dumping.

MassiveAttack · (10-11-2008, 04:57 AM)

EA is supposedly publishing Brutal Legends.

Wollan · (10-11-2008, 04:58 AM)

The game might be bad but why would any sane (non-platform holding) publisher let this go? Didn't the previous one sell 4m+?

Activision dropped a LOT of shit after the merger. I have no fucking clue why they did it.

"Hey! Let's buy this company and cancel everything! FUCK YOU GAMERS!"

Strangely, they're keeping Prototype...

Hmm... somehow I'm not convinced since THQ Australia picks up every other game for AU localization... I can be wrong though.
EDIT: Maybe I'm thinking of another company..

activision's GTA clone, like how spyro and crash were kept to be there "mascot" games. Or why they bought bizzare for a Need for Speed competitor. They want there finger in every genre pie.

Just when you thought this soulless, talentless piece of shit game was in the dumpster, some asshole has to go make money off it.

FoneBone · (10-11-2008, 07:03 AM)

The first of the Activision dumpings to get anything resembling a confirmed publisher... let's hope more follow soon. (Brutal Legend at least has one heavily rumored, though the same can't be said for any of the others.)

A large part of it seems to have to do with Activision's desire to work (almost) solely with internal developers.

KyanMehwulfe · (10-11-2008, 07:21 AM)

more monies for Warhammer....

gwiz210 · (10-11-2008, 07:23 AM)

If a demo for this comes out, I'm making sure all of GAF plays it

It's called people been developing this game for too long and wanted more money because someone fucked up and we don't want that shit.

kassatsu · (10-11-2008, 07:36 AM)

Best news all week.

twinturbo2 · (10-11-2008, 05:43 PM)

... and yet nobody has yet to pick up Ghostbusters. I need the world's biggest facepalm...

Just pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if MTV Games is publishing, and EA is distributing – it'd be an excellent tie-in with Rock Band.

I have a feeling there will some news on that front very shortly.

MorisUkunRasik · 06:11 PM

TheJollyCorner · (10-11-2008, 05:54 PM)

Fitty better be in every THQ came from now on. Every. One.

Deadly Monk · (10-11-2008, 05:55 PM)

This is real? Seriously, this is a real game? I thought it was an April Fool's joke in EGM....

You should watch the hilarious trailers.

OmegaRed · (10-11-2008, 05:59 PM)

Indeed.

Atari comeback?

I still can't believe Activision dropped Ghostbusters. I mean I'm sure they only did the merger for Crash and Spyro, but the game has some pretty big potential.

PolyGone · (10-11-2008, 07:03 PM)

yknow what would be great? if this game wasn't being made

Tiktaalik · (10-11-2008, 07:13 PM)

hell yes

Grecco · (10-11-2008, 07:16 PM)

Please make a joint advertisement and provide 50Cent DLC in Saints Row 2 thanks.

Fixed. Come on, dude, let's be realistic here.

I would buy Dawn of War if that happens. In a heartbeat. Despite the fact that I've never played a RTS. And hate Fiddy.

I'm dead serious.

Vorador · (10-11-2008, 08:22 PM)

So THQ picked this up instead of Ghostbusters? :/

Yeah so we can't let other people enjoy games you don't like?

That would make sense. Atari is seriously in the shitter.

It would fit with their unbelievable RTS stable of games.

World in Conflict was great.

If you truly like that, than I feel for you man, you've got bad fucking taste.
Music like that is the reason all these idiots like Young Jeezy and lol wayne are coming out of the woodworks. Truly pathetic and it has nothing to do with hiphop.

krazen · (10-11-2008, 10:50 PM)

I don't know why all the hate guys.

With this news, the Trailer of the Year is almost certain to have a sequel!

In all honesty tho, considering that the footage has it looking halfway decent and the previous one did so well, it was dumb of them to dump it.
