From what I remember hearing, THQ is one of the strongest publishers against there being another generation of consoles, because they are struggling with affording development on current consoles.
Isn't THQ the publisher of South Park: The RPG? FML.

I could totally see EA taking that one and putting Patrice Desilets in charge of a sandbox game.

Sony pull the trigger, you don't have a studio in Canada
Since Squeenix is funding all those titles and waiting for the hopefully pay off of their western dealings, I don't think they are going to make a large play at this. I think its Warner Bros being the other studio with a lot of funding and desire to expand picking up the pieces, but I do see one wild card. Volition and Saints Row. Saints Row is the closest thing to a competitor GTA has ever had, where both EA and Activision unsuccessful attempt to create their own. If they swing it off as a piece meal sale, I think one of those two are going to go after Volition and Saints Row. If its a full company sale, then I'm leaning on Warner's.So far they have:
Internal:
Eidos Montreal Team 1: Deus Ex
Eidos Montreal Team 2: Thief
Eidos Montreal Team 3: New IP
Square Enix Montreal Team 1: Hitman
Square Enix Montreal Team 2: Unknown
Crystal Dynamics Team 1: Tomb Raider
Crystal Dynamics Team 2: New IP
IO Interactive Team 1: Hitman
IO Interactive Team 2: New IP
External:
True Crime: Hong Kong
Just Cause 3
Probably more.
They have a lot already, but yeah, they seem eager to grow.
A lot of people want Darksiders II to be a WiiU exclusive, eh?

Hmm. I wonder what this means for Darksiders 2. Could Nintendo buy exclusive rights? Even buy the whole team?
You know, exclusive to the platform it like, doesn't have an audience on.
Presumably Nintendo will fire over half their staff as well since they're not making an MMO.
It's a nice fate to wish on them.
It's also just not going to happen. The game will be released before THQ will go under. These companies just don't die over night.

Nintendo buys Vigil, makes Darksiders their new IP, makes it the go to place for people that want a gritty Zelda, continues to make the real Zelda something family friendly.
There, everybody happy.
how does this effect saints row 4?

Damn, hope that's not true. That would directly affect me.
and so dies gaming's traditional middle class.
show's over folks.
Please go to Platinum Itagaki (And I'm sure they'd except you to Patrice!)
o man this gen killed a lot of companies
They're sharing offices with Acclaim in videogame heaven now
o man this gen killed a lot of companies
Where's Midway?
I can see it already, EA buys Volition, renames it Bioware Ill and have them make Mass Effect Row.
Darksiders is safe as a 2012 release. It's anything after that's now in jeopardy if not picked up by someone else.OMG I didn't even read the thread because I'm so nervous and almost crying.
What's going to happen to Darksiders 2???? I need to lie down.
Fucking uDraw HD, now that was Shenmue like bomba that killed the company.
oh well..Goodbye THQ (and RIP Volition) SR3 was a good ending for the company,I Hope that at least Square-Enix,SEGA, Capcom, or even EA, Activition or Ubi buy them, I don't want Nintendo or Microsoft to buy them because that mean they will kill the PC versions.
Do you work at one of the studios?
