hmmm.. well, it's hardly surprising, since THQ has their focus primarily on Consoles...

It's probably safe to say that Volitions PC days are essentially over.  There was a dying hope I think when they switched to PS2 development but I think its over now.

Not that it's any great loss, after seeing the quality of their post-FS2 work.

I think FS2 will be designed for both PS3 and PC.

Am I the only one who read 'sold out' in this line?

[q]The initial work on the games (no specific titles were mentioned) will consist of detailed research into the general direction the games will take.[/q]Now I don't know if they mean game markets in general or what the PS3 will be able to do, but if it's the former, it sounds like THQ is basically doing 'pop games'.

Give me a game developed by people who really wanted to make it any day.

I can see it now -
1) Volition releses FS3 fo the PS3.

2) 95% of HLP users go out and buy the PS3.

3) 2 days later, Volition announces the FS3 port to the PC.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
