TGE:
Contrary to popular belief, THQ did in fact publish some very solid games in 2011. Homefront, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, and Saints Row: The Third were but a few of the enjoyable, albeit slightly flawed, examples that THQ still has a lifeline. However, reports claim that the company's stocks are dangerously low at the time of this writing hovering around 70 cents per share. Industry analyst Kevin Dent reported on Twitter last week that THQ was cancelling its lineup of games for 2014 to save money. THQ denied these claims and indeed it may be far too early to spell doom for the publisher as they still has some tricks up their sleeve for 2012 and beyond.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
4A Games' Metro: Last Light originally launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC 10 years ago today, and still holds up.
I got bored of Hogwarts crazy quick and it's bugs, was looking for just any good game got the Metro trilogy for about £8.50 in a Steam sale played through 2033 Redux, Last Light Redux and now am on Exodus. The series is awesome, the first two are like more liner story driven FPS with a few options to confront the levels, stealth, no kill runs and guns blazing, depending on how you play effects the story and its outcome. Third game I'm playing now is heavy story driven (but optional if you don't want to listen you can just walk away... I don't know why you would though) with large open levels that take hours to explore and still some of the best use of RTX I've seen to date, can play this game on ultra with DLSS set to quality, raytracing set to ultra at 4K with no dips, played on Extreme setting and was getting a few drops around water and some interiors.
Cant recommend this series enough and as a new fan I can't wait to see the next game in 2024... I also got the audio books so looking forward to see how well the games follow the original books. A4 Games are extremely talented.
Beat Redux and Last Light. Really good games. Haven't played Exodus yet, was thinking I'll get it for ps5 just havent yet. I will.
THQ have a lots of big titles coming out in the coming year, Darksiders, Metro, south park and insane. These could all be awesome games.
I think THQ has a lot to fix and a lot to change, but it seems like they're making strides to focus solely on hardcore games. Which could be good if they do it right.
THQ may release good games, but financially, they're royally fucked
