Sucks to hear that people have lost their jobs. Especially Bobby since he's been so great towards the CoH community since he joined THQ.

I want to wish all those who have been made redundant the best of luck in finding new jobs.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Confirmed that Sega has purchased Relic.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm okay with Sega owning Relic.

 

[SteveWinwood]

News is coming too slowly.

Sounds like THQ is done. Sources told me that Ubisoft has purchased South Park and THQ Montréal (Patrice Déselit's team). Take 2 gets Vigil

Manveer Heir ‏@manveerheir
Sounds like Take 2 may just take Vigil's IP and assets and shutter the company, but that's not 100% clear so take that as a rumor for now.

[grimshawish]

Hopefully some of them find a home. Retro is only down the road.

Also, good to here the Sega deal went through.

 

[DrAndonuts]

Seems so

Twitter handles seems apt.

 

[LTWheels]

Yay!!! Sega!

 

[GillianSeed79]

Is there a summary of what's happened this morning in the past few pages?

 

[Sanic]

Relic is in good hands, I feel. Can we get a separate thread for where these devs are ending up?

 

[iavi]

Sega actually had the money to throw around for Relic?

 

[PaulLFC]

This Vigil news is very confusing! Take 2 now?!

 

[Acosta]

YES! CONGRATULATIONS RELIC, I LOVE YOU SEGA!

 

[Seda]

 

[Xun]

Goodbye THQ.

Very sad.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Patrice back to Ubisoft is hilarious.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I am absolutely astonished that Vigil potentially didn't make it. I thought they'd have been the jewel in the auctioned off crown?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Relic at SEGA - Nice
THQ Montreal at Ubisoft - Fuck

 

[Hot Coldman]

Ubisoft buying Patrice back? LOL

Ultramarine to appear in Sonic and All Star Racing 3

 

[iavi]

Patrice back to Ubisoft is hilarious.

If that's true, it really is.

That would be volition. But yeah, vigil are good.

GOD that's SAD. Why would you buy the IP and not its creator

Still, T2 is an AWESOME publisher.


And Désilets back to Ubisoft... lol?
NOW SAVE ASSASSINS CREED PATRICK

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Holy shit. Vigil getting shut down? WOW

 

[SteveWinwood]

This Vigil news is very confusing! Take 2 now?!

Bought it for Darksiders. They don't need the people apparently.

 

[Curufinwe]

Patrice back to Ubisoft is hilarious.

It's a better plot twist than any in AC3.

 

[Interfectum]

So... no Steam cheeves on the South Park game? =(

 

[HoosTrax]

Ubisoft buying Patrice back? LOL

Ultramarine to appear in Sonic and All Star Racing 3

Oh god no. Blood Ravens please.

 

[Nirolak]

The results are all known, but wait for the official announcement before we make a new thread.

 

[Surface of Me]

Take 2 actually seems like a good fit for Vigil, hopefully they keep them running.

Where is Volition?

 

[rankor]

The only thing I care about are Vigil and the Darksiders series, and I hear only bad news

 

[SteveWinwood]

The results are all known, but wait for the official announcement before we make a new thread.

I must have missed Volition?

Thats pretty funny.


Now what about Saints Row and Volition? The real jewel in the crown.

 

[Kusagari]

Uh oh

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Assassins Creed should be good next time around I suppose...

 

[erpg]

Sega cements itself as my favourite third publisher.

 

[kswiston]

Ubisoft buying Patrice back? LOL

Ya, that made me laugh. No Escape for him.

 

[jbug617]

No word on Volition or Saints Row?

 

[Bebpo]

I am absolutely astonished that Vigil potentially didn't make it. I thought they'd have been the jewel in the auctioned off crown?

But didn't Darksiders II bomb sales-wise, and word of mouth was from gamers pretty bad? 1 good game followed by 1 disappointment doesn't make them any attractive buy I'd guess.

 

[Nirolak]

I must have missed Volition?

They're not all /publicly/ announced yet.

 

[Sullen]

Glad to hear Relic is alright. Only real part of THQ I cared for.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Oh god no. Blood Ravens please.

brofist

 

[Santiako]

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So Patrice is back with Ubisoft. Hilarious.

 

[GK86]

I'm glad Sega landed Relic. Sucks that Vigil is being shut down.

 

[iavi]

So, from the sound of it, Take Two just wanted the darksiders IP. Interested in seeing what they do with it. Hope it's not shelved.

Where is Volition? That's the biggest one!

 

[Pooya]

annualized rushed buggy mess Patrice game part 2, him to quit after shipping first game

 

[Totobeni]

Sega actually had the money to throw around for Relic?

we covered this in this thread,yeah Sammy haz moniez

this is bad, Vigil is a good studio. :(

 

[Kusagari]

Lmao at Patrice.

 

[inky]

Now what about Saints Row and Volition? The real jewel in the crown.

I take it EA didn't walk out empty handed.

 

[DieH@rd]

God fucking damnit, I really hope that Vigil is not dead.
