Darksiders and Vigil could go well at Warner Bros.

I also wouldn't be opposed to the Nintendo purchase and Retro merger idea, but the chances of that are like zero.

Though if it happened, and we got a Retro-made Darksiders 3, and a Darksiders character got into Smash, I would actually shit my pants.

 

[Card Boy]

Warhammer, WWE and Metro are not THQs IPs they just have the rights to develop games with that IP. If Games Workshop wanted to they can give the Warhammer rights to Silicon Knights.

Warhammer 40k

 

[JimFear]

Saint Row - Rockstar.

For the rest, Give them all to activision, this way they will finally have a couple of good game.

 

[Card Boy]

Warhammer 40k

Does EA have the sticks and stones Warhammer rights?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Does EA have the sticks and stones Warhammer rights?

Yeah, for some reason they're still clinging to that. I don't know how Age of Reckoning is doing for them but they launched a F2P PvP game earlier this year so I guess they're keeping it for a while.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I think a Gearbox Saints Row would be a freaking amazing game.

I like this pairing. Well 2k since I'd want Volition to continue to make it.

Saint Row - Rockstar.

lol no way man, they would turn it into a urban soap opera.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

I just want to see Volition make an attempt at a next gen open world Red Faction, don't care who the publisher is. Their geo-mod engine does destruction so good and putting that in an open world environment is pure bliss, and not taking anything away from Guerrilla which was awesome but it's limitations were made painstakingly obvious.

 

[Soyongdori]

Save Homeworld and Company of Heroes

Couldn't care less about other games... maybe other than Saints Row.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I still want Saints Row with Geomod destruction. Saints Row 2 had so much destructible stuff, just imagining SR with Red Faction:G destruction was a dream.

 

[Des0lar]

Square-Enix Eidos division. All of them.

It's the only sane answer.

 

[Fjordson]

Save Homeworld and Company of Heroes

Couldn't care less about other games.

This is pretty much how I feel.

Company of Heroes 2 was looking so good =[

 

[Data West]

After what a turd Darksiders 2 was, I don't care where it goes.
I REALLY want someone to make a new Red Faction game

I doubt any other publisher wants 40k. Why deal with Games Workshop's bullshit when every publisher has their own space marines? I mean, look at Alien and Starship Troopers. They ARE sci-fi, and the upcoming Alien game only looks okay. The one before that was awful, and no one cares about Starship to make a game.

 

[Hindle]

Darksiders at MS or Blizzard.

 

[trinest]

Dream selection



Done

I'll agree with that (though I don't think Beth should get all that, but whatever, their the best option sadly).

Anyway Udraw should go to Ubisoft. Heck Saints Row for Ubi or Square would also be good.

 

[zkylon]

Mostly Square-Enix. They seem to be doing better at Eidosing than Eidos.

 

[beastmode]

What happens to THQ Montreal?

 

[Glass Rebel]

What happens to THQ Montreal?

Integrated into Eidos Montreal

Spoiler

I wish

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Even the wwe license? I don't trust square-enix at all when it comes to sports games.

Put WWE into Kingdom Hearts and just make Triple H the main character. Instant millions.

 

[Dina]

All I know is that I want Relic to make more Homeworld, Dawn of War, Spacemarine and CoH-games under a stable publisher.

 

[Stahsky]

I have enjoyed many games from THQ, but I would see each franchise burn just to keep Relic in top form.


I will beg if it comes to it

 

[Sipowicz]

Anyone asking for EA is asking for ip's and studios be destroyed. Valve for pc oriented ips, nintendo for the rest

 

[Valnen]

Saint Row - Rockstar.

Saints Row 2 and 3 were a million times better than GTA:IV precisely because they aren't Rockstar games, so no thanks.

 

[Liberty4all]

THQ had the best press parties. Will miss them.

 

[JDSN]

Metro EA
Saints Row Activision
Darksiders Square-Enix
Warhammer 40,000 2K games
Homefrot Can it.
WWE Activision
Red Faction Warner Bros
Homeworld 2K Games
Company of Heroes Warner Bros.


Relic should go to a stable studio that lets them do their own thing, like Cd projekt or Valve.

 

[JoshHood]

Homefront could go to EA - Medal of Honor is struggling, and Homefront could be a good alternating series with Battlefield in its place, it has good marketable iconography. Plus isn't 2 at Crytek? They seem to be buddy with EA over the Crysis games.

In fact, keep Volition on board, but Red Faction to EA as well - Frostbite X GeoMod would be ace, and benefit RF as well as stuff like Battlefield.

 

[Mr_eX]

I doubt their IPs get sold off. It would make more sense if Square Enix or Warner Bros buys out THQ and gets everything. I'd be kind of surprised if Vigil didn't get shutdown though. Which is too bad because I love Darksiders.

Is there any chance of Darksiders 2 on Wii U selling well and saving THQ? Console launch games usually sell well due to lack of options.

 

[mephixto]

Relic at Valve.

Maybe not the best, but is the only one IMO that can keep the original ideas and support the community.

EA, Activision, Ubi prob going sideways with TPS, FPS mobile games etc losing focus on the RTS

 

[Buckethead]

I don't understand why they don't sell off the rights to the WWE license.

Seems like a win-win for everyone.

 

[Mr_eX]

It would be pretty smart of Microsoft to buy THQ. They need more exclusive IPs and THQ has some good ones.

Anyone buying THQ would be incredibly dumb.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Square-Enix Eidos division. All of them.

This one, and not the IPs but the whole being bought by eidos, so they can save their jobs. Because eidos is the best obly part of square enix.

 

[bengraven]

I'll add in Squeenix as well.

They've been incredibly good to Eidos's properties.

 

[Zyrusticae]

I have no idea.


All I know is, I better see a bloody Dawn of War III!

 

[Mr_eX]

Anyone buying THQ would be incredibly dumb.

How do you figure? They'd get at least 3 really good studios plus a crapload of IPs

 

[Vaati]

In the garbage where they belong.

 

[Dictator93]

That's the spirit!

 

[crazy monkey]

nintendo needs saints row and darksiders.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

I just hope that Metro Last light wont have an another Nazi Stealth moment. Damn that part was hard.

I expect Last Light to be harder, actually.

 

[Glass Rebel]

100+m$ of debt, that's why people have been speculating that interested buyers are waiting until they go bankrupt so they can get cheap IPs and/or studios when they're liquidated.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Darksiders!

Just don't give them to Blizzard, they will ruin it. They can't even get WoW right anymore.

 

[exmachina64]

lol no way man, they would turn it into a urban soap opera.

I think some people know that and are suggesting that pairing as a joke. I know I was, at least. There's no reason for R* to even buy the IP and/or Volition since they already have GTA.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Do they really own Quest 64? That was by Imagineer/Rocket Company aka the Medabots folks, maybe they will take it back? Make a Wii U sequel and a remake for 3DS? Cool!

Add me to the Vigil/Darksiders to Nintendo and Retro group. At least as a another team, pump out more games, we need more than 2 a gen...

 

[funkystudent]

I know it wont happen but some 2D Capcom deveopled WWE themed fighting games could be really fun

 

[Santiako]

A bump seems necessary as these will be sold on Jan 22th, looks like EA and Warner are among the bidders. Any wishes?

They could buy the name, but the actual game belongs to Sony. It's just one of those titles that Sony didn't publish outside of Japan.
