Destroy All Humans, Saint's Row sequels not coming this year

by Ross Miller { Jul 3rd 2007 at 2:45PM }

A brief note in publisher THQ's fiscal report (PDF file) indicates that a previously announced sequel to Saint's Row will not be marching until fiscal year 2009. In calendar terms, that means excess excess pimp-slapping won't be coming until at least April 1, 2008.

Conspicuously absent from the entire report was a mention of a Destroy All Humans sequel. Though DAH3 was reportedly announced in a German magazine as coming out this calendar year to consoles, no mentions were made of the franchise for either FY 2008 or 2009. It is still listed as one of its key IPs, however.

There's always a chance, however slim, that THQ could pull a surprise announcement at next week's Min-E3. Expected this fiscal year from THQ are Stuntman: Ignition, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights and MX vs. ATV. Oh, and licensed titles, too.

I find it funny that THQ stopped development of the PS3 port of Saints Row stating that their resources would be better served on the sequel, and PS3 gamers would be more appreciative of a sequel made from the ground up to support the PS3/Xbox 360.

I'm sorry, why is that funny?

As long as there are more dudes in hot dog suits when the Saint's Row sequel releases I'm fine w/ waiting a little longer. :)

@baby sea tuna -

Because they are fucking over the gamers.

Howso? Rather than bring out a shitty port 1 year later (a la F.E.A.R.,) on a console that hasn't been selling all that well, they decided to take their time and try to produce a decent, multiplatform sequel. I don't see how this fucks over gamers at all.
