THQ lets 200 go, shifts development focus away from kids and licensed titles

its about dam time THQ, time to focus and crank out some polished hardcore AAA titles!

Smart move, they needed to get rid of this shitty kids games.

Sounds good. I'm interested in all of those titles apart from WWE.

But I don't think releasing SR3rd in november is a very smart businessmove, considering the competition that month.

That's right man. Get to work! But wait... I believe the children are our are future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.

So, this is bittersweet.

No! More unemployed people!
Yay! More original games!

how did you manage to get up to 18 comments? Anyway, can we negotiate those B00ts into something lower, say like... 10 bucks?

Good news to move the focus away, but it sucks to hear 200 people lost their jobs.

Ugh, being a developer in Brisbane is looking bleak, I'm not even going to have anywhere to look for work soon.

What studios are left here in humble Brisbane? Halfbrick, the Creative Assembly, and...?

Warhammer 40k MMO!? Please don't suck.

Poor THQ San Diego....

Hardcore gamers are the driving force of the gaming industry. Year after year, and its high time THQ realizes this.
Im in agreeance here, put your focus into 4 to 5 solid core games and polish the hell out of them. Its evededant, gamers are not too willing to pay $60 , for below average games anymore.
and on a side note, the MX vs ATV franchise is in burnout mode ( ala TONY HAWK ), it wont be missed.

Interesting move. I hope they're successful because it would be a good example for other companies.

I miss the Axe's red eyes. I always tough the were bloody and cute.

Hope they ditch the udraw tablet. That thing is useless.

Hire me, maybe I can give the some ideas

Hire me, maybe I can give thq some good ideas for a game

I tried the homefront demo. I think it's a good game concept except they should have added some effects for some of the weapons and fix the vehicles controls a little bit. I would buy it if I have extra cash. It needed additional hype and flash.

I tried the homefront demo, i think it was a good game. They should have a little more effects on the explosions and weapons. Also they should have fix the vehicles controls, it was too clunky. The maps was too cramp for the vehicles base on the demo. The shooting was great in my opinion. The explosion effects was lacking, I can't even blow up a car in the map. The game I think THQ should hire me as a game tester :).

It really needed more flash and hype like the COD and BF series. Maybe the marketing was a bit out of sync on the game. Nobody wants USA to be invaded, they should have change the story. They should have just marketed it as a More Modern Warfare with more advance military gadgets. They should have learned that when Kaos developed Fuel Frontlines, it was a wrong marketing strategy. With all the drones weapons, they should have gone all out with the military equipment and made the game more advance than modern warfare. Ditch the storylines, go with the flash.

holy repeat poster Batman!

Hahaaha sorry about that
