Well, I mean, any project that is basically finished will make it to market by one publisher or another.
It's things after these next three games that are at danger (along with the existence of the studios).
FUCK NOOOOOOooooooo....
There goes Obsidian South Park game.
Looks like Project Eternity was their liveordie project.

My gut feeling is if its close, something can be worked out with another publisher.
C'mon, Square Enix. Buy THQ! I know you can and will!
Nintendo isn't dumb enough to blow their money on something that will lose them money. They should think about some IP and studio acquisitions (Darksiders?)
Oh and I said THQ wouldn't make it through the end of next year, well now I'm not sure they will make it through the middle of next year.
Ye pretty much the only thing worth buying from THQ is darksiders and its studio and Metro Guys.
LOL SEGASega pickup relic? They'll have two great strategy powerhouses between relic and creative assembly.

LOL SEGA
That game's been in development for so long, if it's not done by the time they find a new publisher and set a proper release date, it's their own damn fault.Someone will buy South Park, it's easily one of THQ's only attractive properties along with Saints Row.
The only thing I'm worried about is who buys it. Obsidian has a long history of being abused by big publishers so if it's someone like EA I'm sure that tradition will continue.
Yes, but SEGA is pretty fucked too. They will publish only Sonic games, Football Manager and Creative Assembly games.sega/CA have done a pretty good job with the total war series.
The past 5 years :
And the last 5 days :
if they have 100 million dollars in debt then I think they are a reasonable purchase. Think of it as a 111 million dollar investment. I think their IP's and licences alone are worth that much. Anyone know how much longer they have the Warhammer licence for?

After Darksiders 2, I wouldn't say that studio's worth buying, and good luck finding a publisher who says 'Yeah! We need another FPS developer!'
So which parts is Disney going to buy?
Darksiders 2, is a good game (better then Darksiders 1) hampered by marketing and bugs. However put that in the hands of Nintendo, and we should get a bug free game and proper marketing push.
Metro is not just another FPS, its a unique, great game based on a well written book.
Also it would mean Nintendo would have a studio In Ukraine, were its basically a cheap country to produce big budget games.
Vigil games is in Austin, so I guess they could move in with Retro studios under the roof and learn a lot from them. Vigil has the potential to easily reach Nintendo Quality/Retro quality with proper Guidance.
I'm sure Nintendo would love South Park, Darksiders, WWE and Saint Row IP.
So which parts is Disney going to buy?
You'd think Jason's Rubin's experience of doing nothing for almost a decade would have prevented this.
especially when they have an ass load of cash. Nintendo wouldn't feel a dent in their pockets.
They can easily flip these games to turn a profit.
Free IP's
The rage I would have if Nintendo bought south park would be enough to collapse the internet. I want it on PC, not for a system I don't have or want.
They signed a multi-year extension of the licensing agreement in 2011, but the press release doesn't specify an end date to the agreement. It appears that the agreement that was extended was originally intended to run through 2013, so presumably their current arrangement has them in possession of the Warhammer 40,000 license through at least 2015.
South Park game is being funded by Viacom, so that one should be safe.There goes Obsidian South Park game.
