Not surprised really, they've been struggling!

Sega have taken Relic, so CoH2 is in fairly decent hands.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Atari are up for sale too. It's all going Pete Tong. Read they're (THQ) in legal disputes over selling on the South Park game writes with the South Park studios too.

 

[Scutch]

Wow. Surprising to me.

 

[Philip.]

They did good wrestling games back in the day!

 

[Gally]

Totally changed wrestling games...

 

[Scutch]

WCW vs NWO Revenge and WWF No Mercy. Utterly awesome.

 

[Philip.]

No Mercy was a fuckin' beast of a game!

 

[Joe#]

Anyone remember juiced?

 

[Silent_Scone]

I remember no mercy had that fault with the saves, they recalled all the cartridges. That must of cost em a few quid even back then lol.

I remember Juiced 2. Was really good for editing and customizing cars. The driving experience however was shocking

 

[richy22]

That means no more humble bundles

 

[Darren S]

Shame. So long as Company of Heroes 2 still gets released this year....

That was Acclaim not THQ.

But yeah, they completely reinvented wrestling games.

 

[Gally]

Ah bingo. Apologies. Shows how much we associate THQ with wrestling games.

It must be near enough complete, all Sega have to do is market and distribute it

 

[Ray Gin]

No Mercy <3 Have it sitting in front of me as it happens, lol. TLC matches FTW.

 

[boffey]

Sega are also just keeping there head above water apparently.

I hope Relic come out unaffected, they are one of the few studios that consistantly make titles i enjoy. I was really hoping they would get the opertunity to make another HomeWorld now that THQ re-acquired the IP.... guess not

 

[Cliotoby]

Metro sold off to people running stalker or something?

I was really looking forward to that.

Truly epic game from Relic, that. I play Sins of a Solar Empire by Ironclad, just as a close-ish homage to Homeworld. It was so ahead of its time and the music was brilliant. Surely there's enough demand to make Homeworld 3??

Endless Space is also worth a look Darren, I think you'd like it. Brutally difficult though at times, and takes a few playthroughs to even figure out what the hell you're supposed to do.

I'd be playing more of it if it wasn't for getting addicted to Anno 2070, more than a year after I bought it.

Not got Rebellion yet - still using Trinity at the minute. Wish I'd bought Rebellion in the Steam winter sale....

[Cookie]

I've got Trinity too, think it's at around 20 odd hours of play time. Thing is, the game is always ruined for me when you get that weird super race that turns up 90% through a game and wipes you out in 3 turns :/

 

[treemanx]

Think THQ did the smackdown wrestling games?

 

[Snakey]

Yeah, they've done every wwe/wwf wrestling game since they took over the rights from Acclaim back in '99
