THQ declared bankruptcy last week and is in the process of being purchased by an equity firm. Looks like the THQ humble bundle was a quick cash grab for the company to raise its stock price and to help with the massive debt the company is in. Good news is that the company will continue to support its titles and have not announced any game cancellations.1

Not entirely surprising. They've been having financial difficulties for the last year or so (with the cancellation of some games and the dropping of non-profitable franchises). I'm surprised they didn't go completely under though I'm somewhat happy to see they haven't (even if I rarely buy THQ titles).

I'd like to see a new Saints Row on the next gen systems. I never was a big fan of the later GTA's the driving was a hassle at times. Saints Row the Third was a blast, I haven't had so much fun driving in a game since Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit for PS1. The story was pretty neat, but the main missions were kinda lacking. The Assassinations were fun when as they got more complex, and I loved the insurance fraud mini games. X'D

The insurance fraud mini games were a lot of fun. Running head first into cars and flinging your body into oncoming traffic always made me happy. XD

This isn't a real surprise...they have been floundering since '09 or so. Hopefully some of their better titles get grabbed by good producers...:\

I would like to see a remade SR3 as long as it was M Rated with the following characters.... Assume all characters are around human size & anthropomorphic where applied....

 

3rd Street Saints

  1. Johnny Gat as Mickey Mouse - Many Saints Row fans raged over the death of Gat. Now imagine if Mickey Mouse fans had the same reaction to Mickey's death. Plus a Fire Breathing Mickey Mouse Mobile is Pure Win.
  2. Pierce as Hercules - Fits with the one I have for Shaundi....
  3. Shaundi as Megara - Two over sexualized Women with attitudes.
  4. Oleg & Clones as Beast - Also fits in with his relationship with Kinzie
  5. Kinzie as Belle - Two Book Worms who barely go out.
  6. Zimos as Fat Cat - Because Fat Cat sounds like a Pimp name....
  7. Josh Birk as Gaston - Both Overly successful idiots obsessed with good looks.
  8. Angel as Woody - Similarities between losing a mask & not being the favorite toy. Plus Hulk Hogan voicing a Cowboy.

 

The Syndicate

  1. Phillipe Loren as a Crow from Dumbo - I know it was a stereotype for African Americans.... But Loren is French.... I mean Belgium.... Same thing....
  2. Viola & Kiki DeWynter as The Siamese Cats from Lady & The Tramp - Originally they were suppose to be Asian but the stereotype of young Asian Women serving white men had that scrapped.... Well Loren is a Crow now....
  3. Matt Miller as Young Anakin Skywalker - Because That whole Ageist thing I guess & revolving around Sci Fi.
  4. Killbane as Buzz Lightyear - Obvious choice because on Angel. Plus Instead of removing his mask you just press the button that opens his helmet causing him to freak out. Also makes sense for the happy ending.

 

STAG - Obviously SHIELD

  1. Cyrus Temple as Nick Fury - Both Older Leaders.
  2. Kia as Maria Hill - Younger 2nd In Commands.

 

Other Cast Members

  1. Burt Reynolds as Burt Reynolds - Sorry Mufasa, Han Solo, etcetera but that never changes.
  2. Professor Genki as Stitch - Because they're insane....
  3. Monica Hughes as Wicked Stepmother from Cinderella - Both are two older women you may not want to confront.
  4. Jenny (Kwilanna) as Sleeping Beauty - I think out of all the Disney Princesses I could think of off the top of my head Sleeping Beauty didn't get that much screen time. If she had an off stage life she'd probably be the most likely to snap like this.
  5. Jimmy Torbitson & Planet Saint Clerks as Jar Jar - Because killing a former employee & robbing a store you technically own is fun & made more fun by killing Jar Jar. That & I can imagine Jar Jar sounding like Jimmy.

I know I've seen past articles about Ubisoft interested in buying all of THQ but I could care less for Ubisoft at the moment.

 

But in other news Warner Brothers just shown interest.

 

Judge denies THQ's plan for a quick sale as Warner Bros., others show interest

 

Maybe future items in Saints Row would be Batmobiles as well as weapons made by ACME.

LMAO. That would be hilarious. Lex Luthor could be the next crime boss trying to take down the Saints. :P

 

That & getting in trouble with The Joker for wearing Purple.

 

If they're still working on it maybe Planet Saints clothes is Gotham City Impostors.

When it comes to Saints Row

 

Like

Disney - As long as it can still be M Rated then same reasons as above.

Valve - Because of Team Fortress & Portal crossovers.

Warner - Same Reasons as above.

 

Maybe

Bethesda - Hooray for maybe actual Khajiits & Argonians. Nay for Changing Saints Row's Game Engine.

Konami - Only if it uses 50 GBs making it only on PC & PS3 at the moment.

Sony - Well I still get to play new versions but I might want to switch to PC.

 

Hate

Microsoft - Not because it would be exclusive to Xbox, but they ruined Rare & Crackdown seems to be forgotten about.

Nintendo - Well they wouldn't, but still I hate The Wii U.

EA - I heard bad things.... Basically the same kind of stuff that happened to Rare.

Rockstar - Buying out the competition just to put them on the side line.... or so I fear.

Ubisoft - I don't care for U-Play.

 

Would Like but will never ever happen.

Grasshopper - Because Suda 51 could probably make a really bizarre Saints Row.

Sega bids high for Relic Entertainment – rumour

 

Reports also suggest Dead Island publisher Koch Media is leading bids for Saints Row and Red Faction developer Volition Inc.

 

I wonder if that's an odd but perfect fit when comparing my reaction to the actual Dead Island Game to the reaction Certain Saints Row fans had to Saints Row The Third.

I don't see how Sega could have any of its characters in the Dawn of War games.. oh well, maybe they'll use the dawn of war engine to make a new Sonic RTS game... or maybe not.

 

Sonic!

He can really strategize!

Sonic!

He's a dying franchise!

Sonic!

He's, the most over rated thing, alive!

He's the most over rated thing alive!

 

....

 

Yeah, I hate Sonic. And I'm still expecting that sooner or later Sega will declare bankruptcy.

      Every once in a while I'll come across free games for PC that look really good. Anyone can feel free to update this topic with limited time free game links so we can add them to our ever growing backlog of games. If a game states how long it will be free for, please list that along with the link. Sometimes it won't be stated so if you click a link and its no longer free, then that promo must have expired. I've seen alot of free game listings off slickdeals or other blogs. I'll update this when I see good ones. I would post the free games with Amazon Prime, but I don't currently have amazon prime so if those appeal to anyone, feel free to post them since Amazon Prime generally gives away a couple free games a month.
      To start off with:
      Little Nightmares is currently free with a Steam promotion until 05/30/2021 @ 10:00am (does not say if EDT, PDT, etc. )
      https://store.steampowered.com/app/424840/Little_Nightmares/
      Company of Heroes 2, Company of Heroes 2 Ardennes Assault - Limited Free Promotional Package, free for this weekend or until 05/31/2021? It doesn't say exact day it ends.

      The new PlayStation 4 firmware update will include external HHD support for game installation. Finally. I honestly didn't realize the original PS4s even had USB 3. They are also finally adding custom wallpapers via screenshots. About damn time. The wallpapers in the online store are complete garbage. I'd still prefer to use my own .jpg files like on the PS3, but modders used that feature as a way to hack the system which is why we never got the functionality in PS4. Using a screenshot is completely fine with me.

      Nvidia is launching an online game streaming service called GeForce NOW.
      I'm going to quote myself here from another topic:
      With Playstation having it's own streaming service and now Nvidia making it's own service, having to own physical consoles and PCs specifically for gaming might come to an end within our lifetimes.
      The downside to the Nvidia service is the cost. I've been seeing the numbers "$25 per 20 hours of gaming" floating around alot. If so, thats a hell of an expense for now.

      Am I the only one suffering from steam sale fatigue? Maybe its just me but ever since they changed the store to the design it is now nothing in the store appeals to me anymore. Its probably because of the massive influx of every game from every independent developer. Theres so many games on there that I never look at what new games came out anymore because in any given week 40+ new games were released and 250+ games are listed in their weekly sales. I stopped looking and only pay attention to humble bundle sales now. Even with the steam sale going on now I don't see any huge sale thats leaping out at me to take my money anymore. Sure I still have a backlog of games but there seems to be less and less new AAA or indie games that I'm interested in for PC. Unless its a game I want for console I hardly look at the steam store anymore even though I use steam on a daily basis.

      Powered by the same GPU as the Nvidia Shield and a couple smart phones and chromebooks, (and not as powerful as current gen consoles or even close to gaming PCs), the Nintendo NX will use the Nvidia Tegra as a GPU/CPU combo for a handheld console with detachable controllers. It will also come with a home base that you can plug into to play the console on the TV. It will still play cartridges.
      My guess is that it will look like the Wii U controller, except with detachable nunchuck controllers on the sides. I would photoshop something to look like that but I need a new photo editing program. ehh.

      The Tegra is a decent chip, but I don't see Nintendo competing with Sony or Microsoft at this point anymore. Its like they are doubling down on their handheld market, which makes sense to me. They know how to make good handhelds and they sell. But if this is all true it seems a bit too gimmicky to me. The Wii and Wii U was all targeted at families and party games, but this is obviously targeted toward individuals and solo players. If the screen is the normal size of a cell phone and its meant to run games all the time, I wonder how hot the thing will get and if it'll need to be recharged every 2 hours.
