OFLC: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand being published by THQ

The 50 Cent sequel had previously been dropped by Activision during its merger with Vivendi, which caused rumors to spring up that the game had died. But much lite Fitty getting shot, Developer Swordfish Studios got back up and announced that the game was still in development and trying to make a holiday release. THQ was previously speculated to be a publisher for the game, but the OFLC rating is the first piece of evidence of that claim's validity.

I've noticed that we seem to be the only two commentors on the 'stiq who think this might actually be good.
Dirty @ Oct 13th 2008 2:30PM
Oh... sorry.... I was being sarcastic.

I mean it might be good... its just fun to make fun of it. Im sure it will be.... a game.
You know it depends on your audience, whats good for me might not be good for you.
You know what Im saying?

This piece of shit found a publisher but still nothing for Ghostbusters? Really?
StrangeBum @ Oct 13th 2008 12:54PM
I wouldn't worry about that too much, there are also rumors floating around that there is going to be a new Ghostbusters movie in the works before long.
The only plus/downside to the new movie is it will apparently be an Apatow produced comedy with his cast of regulars like Seth Rogan, Bill Hader etc...
Monkey Thing?!!? @ Oct 13th 2008 12:08PM
Inevitable that someone would pick that up, much to the dismay of many
However, Brutal Legend still sits lost and Forlorn.
Monkey Thing?!!? @ Oct 13th 2008 12:09PM
wtf? Why's Wario back? Where'd Jamie go?
Dirty @ Oct 13th 2008 12:21PM
Seriously, Brutal legend needs to happen. I say we all band together and finance the publishing.
Vidikron @ Oct 13th 2008 12:35PM
Wait a minute... you changed your name?
Moobyghost @ Oct 13th 2008 12:09PM
How is it that this piece-o-shit game gets an official public announcement or a new publisher but we can not get any official word on whether a quality title like ghostbusters is being saved.
50 cent isn't worth his name let alone a sequel to a a shitty game.
Bring on the GBs!
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 13th 2008 12:32PM
OOH OOH LET ME GUESS!!
Is it because THQ knows that a bunch of wiggers and 12 year old kids will buy this game simply because it has 50 cent on the cover, thus having the game sell loads of copies just like the first game did?
StrangeBum @ Oct 13th 2008 12:56PM
"Is it because THQ knows that a bunch of wiggers and 12 year old kids will buy this game"
Disco!

What is a wigger?
Jack of No Trades 85 @ Oct 13th 2008 12:09PM
If you can play as Barack Obama they have my money.
Jeremy @ Oct 13th 2008 12:12PM
Are you saying Barack Obama is a gangsta? That's racist.
Jack of No Trades 85 @ Oct 13th 2008 12:18PM
Yes, he is a gangsta....a political gangsta.
No, I thought it would be funny to say that since this game is located in the middle east and alot of retarded old people think he was born there lol
Sorry I watch too many political shows.
Jakka @ Oct 13th 2008 1:07PM
@ Jeremy
Actually, he's a mulatto.Thus unless he had a second dad who was like Chinese or sth, he can't be any more politically correct...
Also he's not a "Gangsta", he's "Fascinated by the Ghetto and Cultural Aspect of Black Working Classes.".
Get your shit together and watch what you're saying or you might turn out racist!
randomshagz @ Oct 13th 2008 12:12PM
Part of me wonders who played the first one?
StrangeBum @ Oct 13th 2008 12:57PM
To quote Vegeta from above for a second time
"a bunch of wiggers and 12 year old kids"
badbrain @ Oct 13th 2008 12:23PM
And with this, THQ further there position as being one of the worst publishers ever. Seriously, what good games have they ever published? I remember buying the wrestling games when i was 10 but that was about it!
Vidikron @ Oct 13th 2008 12:34PM
Titan Quest (PC) for one. I believe the are also the publisher for Saint's Row. They do have a lot of junk in their history, but there's a few decent titles.
Erluti @ Oct 13th 2008 12:48PM
Titan's Quest was ridiculously good.

Nice, Pure Ownage! Pwnage...if you will. :)
Btw, I think they're also making the new UFC game which looks really really good.
xFenixKnightx @ Oct 13th 2008 2:08PM
Yep, THQ.

HOLLA
Erluti @ Oct 13th 2008 12:49PM
that comment was directed at my boy.
Ranus Studios @ Oct 13th 2008 1:11PM
So excited. This will be one of those fine pieces of work that will be ridiculously entertaining one way or another, in a good way or a bad way.
Levi @ Oct 13th 2008 1:55PM
I anyone actually plays this game seriously, they should probably...
..well I dislike them.
XD
xFenixKnightx @ Oct 13th 2008 2:07PM
Yep, THQ.

On a similar note, Play.com has Brutal Legend dated for the end of this month.
DBoyFlex @ Oct 13th 2008 7:58PM
Crap.
zaglis @ Oct 14th 2008 2:53AM
God yes. Im really waiting for this one
Shroomsday @ Oct 14th 2008 5:02AM
I'd get this game just to see Fiddy get gibbed.
Over and over again.
