Pretty much all their IP's were sold except for Darksiders

Sega & Koch Media bought the biggest titles Ubisoft went cheap & lost most of the IP's they were bidding on (thankfully!).

Looks like THQ's plan of survival failed then.
Can't help but be very disappointed, also let down about Darksiders, I quite like the series.

Thank god, Saints row is SAFE!

Looks like Relic got lucky

(I am a Sega fanboy at heart but come on, who would you like as your puppet master, Sega or Ubisoft?)

Martini1991 · 24 Jan 2013 at 01:47

I'd rather THQ still have relic

jahujames · 24 Jan 2013 at 02:18

Genuinely hoping Sega ask Relic to develop Homeworld 3. Pleaseeeee, Sega (!)

Hmm i didnt know south park the mmo was associated with thq i thought it was bethesda or was it obsidian.

South Park to Ubi

.

It was probably going to be terrible anyway, but it's South Park, **** you Ubi :mad:

.

Generally happy about the rest of them at least

Pleased with Relic being bought by Sega, Sega already publish some fantastic RTS games so I'm sure they'll be chuffed to have nabbed the CoH franchise.

Semiskimmed · 24 Jan 2013 at 04:23

What a shame about southpark!

kthula666 · 24 Jan 2013 at 05:03

Sad to hear I liked DS 1 & 2

jakspyder · 24 Jan 2013 at 06:51

While id much rather Relic was still THQ. If anyone was going to buy Relic, im SO glad it was saga. Who knows this might really work out great for RTS. The Pickup and play of DOW/COH but perhaps the slightly "Deeper" strategy of TW.

Or just Total Warhammer =D Either works.

Think I'l go offer them 50p for Darksiders

never know.

Shamikebab · 24 Jan 2013 at 09:02

I'm very happy Relic has gone to Sega, should be a good move for them.

And for everyone asking for Homeworld, THQ still have the right to Homeworld, it hasn't been sold off yet.

Yes know what you mean but Platinum games have expressed an interest so I have some hope of the franchise surviving

Koch Media got Saints Row and Metro.

Who the hell are they? God damn it.

Dead Island, Risen to name two games, Google it and check out the wiki page.

I'm not bothered by that, so long as 4A Games remains a part of it.

What was their plan of survival?

Good news all around, IMHO.

Well, except for Vigil Games. R.I.P.

Sega with COH, sounds alright to me. COH2 was finished so nothing to worry about until another sequel is planned.
