THQ陷入危机 正努力摆脱退市厄运
在该公司的投资者页面当中详细地记录了这次行动——他们将THQ公司原本6850万份股份合并到了近690万份,由此将每份普通股的股价提升到了刚刚超过一美元的水平。
从今年1月份开始,THQ公司的股票就一直处在退市的危险当中,其中有超过30天的时间股价处在一美元以下。为了避免退市,该公司必须要将其股票价格提升至一美元以上,并且在7月23日之前连续10个交易日保持价格在一美元以上。
目前还无法确定这个危急时刻的努力是否能成功。这一家游戏发行公司称,“目前无法保证这次反向股票分割能否达成期望中的一美元收盘价,以达到交易所的要求。”
THQ公司目前脆弱财政状况,是因为旗下的uDraw项目比公司的预期要多亏了近1亿美元,这直接导致了该公司在本季度直接亏损3000万美元。
但目前仍不能说THQ必死无疑,8月份他们将在Xbox 360、PlayStation 3、和PC平台推出《暗黑血统2》,希望这能缓解他们目前的财政危机。

游戏发行商THQ正处于四面楚歌的困境之中,糟糕的财政状况让很多人认为这家公司离关门不远了。但THQ新上任的总裁Jason Rubin可不这么认为。这位Naughty Dog工作室的创始人在最近的一次采访中,谈及了他认为公司应该重点关注的地方,以及THQ在将来的一些策略。
在这次采访中,Rubin指出他浏览了现阶段正处于开发之中的游戏,并相信这些游戏将取得不错的成绩:
“虽然《地铁:残光夜影》不能和《使命召唤》相比,但它仍然是一款优秀的作品。《南方公园:真理之杖(South Park: The Stick of Truth)》也广受玩家关注和讨论。《英雄连》则保持了高水准的RTS风格。”
Rubin还说道他计划全力开发那些THQ旗下的成功游戏系列,并暂时忽视iOS和Android等移动平台。此外,他还计划让公司尽量避免那些高风险的项目,例如公司之前的uDraw游戏平板计划。
Rubin还提及了《潘神迷宫》导演Guillermo Del Toro首部视频游戏作品《Insane》以及一部未宣布的游戏作品。

THQ解除纳斯达克摘牌危机 诸多大作躲过一劫
目前正处于“作战状态”的发行商THQ终于躲过了被纳斯达克摘牌的危机。
在今年一月,THQ由于股价太低,被要求在180天内重整股价,不然就会被纳斯达克交易所摘牌。
之后,THQ采取了十股合一的方案。昨天,THQ正式宣布,他们在保持了10天一元以上股价后,已经收到了纳斯达克的通知,成功抵御了本次摘牌危机。
THQ的这次财政危机是从2011年发布休闲游戏《U Draw》后开始的,目前,这个游戏已经被彻底终止。
在过去几个月,THQ经历了一段非常动荡的重组过程,为了降低生产成本,关闭了全球范围内多家分支机构和工作室。尽管如此,还是有专家认为他们会撑不过这次摘牌危机。在今年4月,Take-Two的总裁Strauss Zelnick曾表示,THQ撑不过六个月。
虽然这次他们成功的保留了自己在纳斯达克的位置,但十股合一后,THQ的股票发行量已经从6800万降到了700万,市值同样一路猛跌。看来在松一口气后,THQ的高层们的坏日子还要继续。
作为游戏玩家,让我们一起为THQ送上祝福吧!

大作又有戏了?THQ更换总裁 顽皮狗创始人上任
THQ于美国时间5月29日宣布,将由Naughty Dog创办人Jason Rubin接任总裁职位,负责所有THQ全球产品研发、行销与发行业务,对主席兼CEO Brian Farrell负责。同时宣布核心游戏部门执行副总裁Danny Bilson与核心工作室资深副总裁Dave Davis离职的消息。
Jason Rubin是游戏产业知名创业者与创作者,1986年15岁时就与好友Andy Gavin共同创办Naughty Dog(近期代表作:《神秘海域》系列),后曾领军制作《古惑狼》、《捷克与达斯特》等畅销游戏,2001年美国索尼电脑娱乐(SCEA)收购Naughty Dog后仍持续领导Naughty Dog直到2004年离职为止。后续则是与Andy Gavin及Jason Kay共同创办了网页多媒体混搭创作工具公司Flektor,该公司于2007年被福斯互动媒体并购。
Jason Rubin之后将肩负起重整THQ的任务,解决公司运营状况欠佳导致的股票下市危机。

THQ注册1666和《黑道圣徒4》域名 4代更“狂野”
THQ已经注册了大量的与其未来游戏的相关的新网址,其中就包括《黑道圣徒4》和神秘新作《1666》。《黑道圣徒》的域名包括EnterTheDominatrix.com 和 IAmSaintsRow.com,而《1666》域名则是1666Amsterdam.com 和1666TheGame.com。
EnterTheDominatrix.com指的是《黑道圣徒3》的最新DLC“进入进入施虐狂世界(Enter the Dominatrix)”,之后也会转换到《黑道圣徒4》中来。早前THQ前董事Danny Bilson表示《黑道圣徒4》比3还要更“狂野”。
1666则指的是THQ在三月份的注册的一个商标,尽管官方未透漏细节,很多人猜测1666就是发生在这一年的伦敦大火(Great Fire of London)。而Amsterdam(荷兰首都:阿姆斯特丹)的域名进一步表明游戏发生地是在欧洲,1666TheGame像是确认该作的游戏名称。
以上皆为猜测,但是我们也向THQ关于这些域名进行了询问,THQ确认了2012年目前会上市的游戏包括8月份的《暗黑血统2》和10月份的《WWE 13》。公司在2013年准备的游戏包括《英雄连2》,《地铁:最后的曙光》和《南方公园:真理之杖》。THQ也会发行由Crytek开发的《国土防线2》。

THQ又痿了!新报告显示取消《inSANE》的开发
在THQ财政陷入困境期间,该公司都尚未宣布过会取消《inSANE》的开发,一则可能是觉得该作有潜力,可以为THQ吸金;另一方面,可能是怕同一时间内连续取消多个项目(他们之前已经取消了《恶魔第三人》),会影响一众股东对公司力挽狂澜的信心。
无论如何,THQ在公布今季的财政报告时,已经顺带宣布了《inSANE》的死刑,并且将该作的版权交还给Guillermo del Toro。
THQ和del Toro原本有意将《inSANE》打造成“三部曲”大作,并且由《黑道圣徒》系列背后的“Volition”工作室开发……可惜了一个好游戏。

《地铁2033》成THQ新摇钱树 怪不得穷的要关门
《地铁:最后的曙光》是我们2013年最期待的游戏之一。尽管还没什么它的消息,THQ的Huw Beynon打算谈一谈它的前作《地铁2033》。尽管THQ并没有帮助游戏在生产过程中进一步打磨和提高质量,但仍然取得了不错的收入。

THQ资金匮乏 《英雄连2》等大作被延期发售
今晨THQ发布了最新一期季度财报,公司2013财年第二季获得1.074亿美元的净销售收入,远逊于去年同期的1.460亿。这一收入状况将直接导致《英雄连2》等大作被延期发售。下面来看看详细内容。
通过裁员,换将,关闭工作室等一系列伤筋动骨的自救手段,公司净亏损由去年同期的9240万美元降至2100万美元(GAAP),但公司仍未脱离危险,资金依然匮乏。
公司承认《黑暗血统2》的销售成绩低于预期,各平台合计仅出货140万套;《黑道圣徒3》稍好一点,各平台合计出货500万套。
为此,公司将原定于2013财年第四季(即2014日历年首季)面市的作品统统延至2014财年(始于2014日历年第二季)。
比如由黑曜石负责的《南方公园:真理之杖》(South Park:The Stick of Truth)现延至2014财年上半年,该作原定于2013年3月5号面市:
原定于明年3月面市的《英雄连2》及《地铁:残光夜影》也受此影响,面市日期被迫后延,具体发布日期待定。
毫无疑问,THQ就指望靠明年这三板斧翻身了,因此绝对不能失手。为避开明年首季的大作潮(明年1-3月充斥着各家公司的跳票大作),公司毅然推迟了旗下作品的发布时间,为这些颇有潜力的游戏争取到额外润色工期。
算上明年这三部大作,THQ手头一共有10部游戏处于开发状态 -- 其中一部尚未宣布的作品来自L4D的原创单位Turtle Rock工作室。

THQ自挖坟墓再遇财政危机 真的回天乏力了?
根据报告显示,THQ在没有提出合理理由的前提下,未能于11月8日当日或之前,向“证劵交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)”的10-Q申报其在2012年9月30日为止的季度报告,违反了该公司与富国银行之间协定的信用条款。
THQ随后发表道,他们现正在与富国银行洽商,商榷其违约的相关细节,并且相信可以和该银行机构落成新协议。
另一方面,富国银行于9月30日截止的季度中,曾经不止一次通知过THQ,他们的5000万美元周转信贷,只余下12.5%的资金调度限额。虽然富国银行然在继续在经济上支持THQ,而且THQ也表示自己在极力和银行磋商,但没有人能够确保双方最终可以达成新的协议。
本周之前,有报告指出THQ本季度亏损了2100万美元,同时将会延迟《南方公园:真理之杖》、《英雄连2》和《地铁:最后的曙光》。

《暗黑血统2》没有大卖 THQ为求生将出售工作室
大家知道THQ是一家很有实力的公司,开发过众多优秀的游戏作品作品,在玩家和业内的影响力也是非同小可的。不过最近他们日子很难过,因为THQ现在很有可能就要破产。媒体曝光称THQ到年末将亏损5千6百万美元,为了生存THQ或将被迫出售游戏版权、工作室等等。
THQ今年主打的《暗黑血统2》完全没有大卖,这使得他们损失很大。他们对此的认识是“考察同期的游戏作品最显著的感觉就是在现在的市场上,只有绝对意义上的3A大作才能很好地俘获消费者的心”。真的么?你们直到2012年末才意识到中端游戏前途渺茫?
中端游戏
中端游戏市场的覆灭在本世代初就出现了,那时候THQ的利润就已经受到很大冲击了。THQ在2007年第一次营收10亿美元,简直爽翻天。但之后就悲剧了,2008年THQ亏损数百万美元因而不得不关掉5家工作室。面对营收渐少、投资者纷纷离去的状况,他们反应得太慢了,而当他们真的想全力反击的时候,他们的计划又是如此的草率。《国土防线》便是THQ试图翻版COD赚大钱的棋子,为此他们投入了太多的资金。可游戏最终失败了,THQ顿时入不敷出。他们不顾一切地妄图打造一款COD,却没有方方面面考虑周全,到最后只能舔着脸跟投资人解释为什么会出现这样的败局。
入不敷出
THQ还有一系列低劣的商业活动,2008年收购Big Huge Games,次年即关停并随后出售该工作室——在他们还没有发售一款游戏并已经花钱投入两款游戏开发的情况下。
目前THQ账上哟有3千6百万美元,但一些分析师认为他们现在每月要花掉1千5百万美元。而今年他们没有待发售大作了,而到2014年3月份,他们要偿还1亿美元的债务。
简单地说,THQ真的大事不妙。虽然他们拥有《暗黑系统》和《黑道圣徒》这类质量不错的游戏,但他们始终做不出行业领先的超大作。这个原因很复杂,但很明显的是,THQ的游戏几乎没有参与对本世代游戏进化的贡献,他们所提供给观众的都是些已存在的东西。自从2007年的大丰收后,THQ已经很久没有带来真正意义上的创新了。
很不错的游戏,奈何前有猛虎,后有追兵
THQ对待作品的态度也值得商榷。2012年他们的许多作品便各种延期。而在宣布《南方公园》《英雄连2》和《地铁:最后的曙光》延期后,他们本财年将会非常难受。但明年初的《地铁:最后的曙光》和《英雄连2》又要遭遇《生化奇兵:无限》,几乎被判死刑。
该游戏的销量很成问题
2012年对于THQ来说显然是很关键的一年,所以他们将众多游戏延期而不是尽早推出赚取资金实在令人困惑。THQ有可能出售公司尽可能多的财产,然后仅凭少量游戏品牌东山再起。但不管THQ想怎么做,不管这些措施能有多成功,我只希望THQ的员工和他们的家庭能够度过这场危机。
从玩家观点讲,我挺满意THQ将游戏延期以进一步提高品质。但他们低估了市场的不良反响——THQ的股价已经跌了一半了,而原价就不怎么高啊。我们只能期望延期的游戏能在长远的未来留下更好的口碑,但问题在于,现在的THQ能撑多久?

THQ面临困境 育碧趁火打劫对THQ“很感兴趣”
最近THQ杯具消息不断,甚至有出售旗下工作室和大作的传闻,这些传闻甚至引起了育碧的关注,育碧执行总裁Yves Guillemot在接受外媒GI采访时透露,公司的确对THQ的项目“很感兴趣”。
在采访中,Guillemot对THQ目前所面临的困境大为感叹,但也表示,这样的事情其实也是游戏业巨头们的自然生存法则。
“发生在THQ身上的事情在我们的过渡期时时都有发生,”他说,“有些可以解决,有些则可能决定(公司)不同的走向。上个游戏世代,Atari(雅达利)、Midway以及著名的Acclaim公司都发生了这样的事情……这是业界时常会发生的事情,这也是一个行业整合的途径。”
Guillemot表示,育碧正在公开讨论收购THQ一些项目的问题,但他拒绝透露公司最想收购那款大作。
“他们有很多好东西,”他说,“我们也一直对良好的游戏品牌感兴趣。可以肯定的是,我们确实是在考虑收购一些东西,不过我不能向你们透露太多。” 上一周,THQ在第二季度财政报告上宣布净亏损2100万美元,旗下诸多大作包括《南方公园:真理之杖(South Park:The Stick of Truth)》、《英雄连2(Company of Heroes 2)》和《地铁:最后的曙光(Metro
ast Light)》更是集体延期。随后在第二天,公司的股价更是大跌46%,THQ不得不聘请了专门的会计公司以寻求更好的“战略和融资方案”。
另外据报道,THQ将在本周末和富国银行(Wells Fargo)进行5000万美元的循环信贷,我们也希望THQ能早日走出困境。

要hold住啊!THQ暂时性的缓解了目前的经济危机
出版商和富国银行(Wells Fargo)已经进入延期偿付协议,这意味着后者已同意不会行使其权利并认同THQ的技术5000万美元的信用额度。
延期偿付协议预计在2013年1月15日结束,在此期间,富国银行(Wells Fargo)将提供额外贷款给THQ。
因为好几款游戏的延迟,THQ在宽容期结束前依然不具有足够的收入来源来,但他们也宣布与金融保荐人谈判另外的融资方案“。
值得一提的是,该协议可能会“很大程度的稀释股东”。 THQ不能透露是谁或者什么条件加入直到完成谈判,他们也提过这次的交易未必能够成功。值得一提的是,THQ开始会考虑其版权的销售,曾经把UFC卖过给EA,育碧也说过要收购THQ的IP;所以说收购也不是完全不可能。
THQ还宣布辞退Pucino,执行副总裁和首席财政官。Pucino是2009年加入公司里的。新的人还没有选上来,虽然THQ让FTI咨询来协助其财务和会计团队,也没有提到Pucino今后的去向。

THQ即时战略游戏《英雄连2》最新预告片公布
这个简短的预告片只是一个“序曲”,官方表示,在11月28号将会公布更多关于《英雄连2》的信息。
早在Relic Entertainment开发《英雄连2》的时候,就已经有人表示,这款续作是个非常不错的即时战略游戏,很令人期待,可是有点小遗憾,因为THQ一拖再拖,把《英雄连2》的发布时间拖到了明年3月份。
所幸,这段《英雄连2》的预告片还是在网上公布了出来,等不及的玩家们可以先看看视频过过瘾:

THQ旗下大作捆绑销售 不到6美元就能买到7款
大家都知道THQ目前正深陷财政危机之中,当然THQ也在做着一些努力,比如搞一些不同寻常的东西,换一些现金来解决一些实际问题。没错,THQ也这么做了,THQ刚刚为我们提供了一个“Humble Bundle”捆绑销售活动,PC玩家们只要花一点点前就可以买到多款不错的作品。
Humble Bundle捆绑包内容包括《暗黑血统》、《地铁2033》、《红色派系:末日审判》,以及《英雄连》及其两部扩展包《英雄连:抵抗前线》《英雄连:勇气传说》,一共六部作品,或许有玩家对Humble Bundle销售模式不太熟悉,这是国外的一种自由出价销售手段,6款作品你可以随意出价,甚至1美元也可以全部拿下,只能说,老外太神奇了,在小编看来,这实在是不可想象的事情。
另外,玩家只要平均支付超过5.69美元(平均值)就可以获得《黑道圣徒3》,换言之,你只要花费不到六美元就可以买到七部作品,对正版玩家而言,还是相当地超值的。
这真是PC正版玩家不能错过的好机会!当然,THQ的Humble Bundle捆绑包仅支持Windows系统,同时需要Steam平台支持。
如果你感兴趣的话,可以从这里购买,另外,值得一提的是,该捆绑包在发布首日就突破100万美元(目前已经快160万美元啦)的销量,吸引了20多万人购买,实在是不小的战绩,我们也希望THQ能挺过这次的难关。

铁杆玩家鼎力帮助THQ 行善股票大涨前景光明!
在上周四,THQ在Humble Bundle网站发售它的慈善包,六款游戏打包出售,最低1美元便可成交,引发抢购。公司股票应声开涨,最高曾摸至1.60美元的价位,较前一交易日的1.07美元涨了不少。
至本周一公司股票以1.46美元的价位开盘,中途低至1.32美元,但离1美元的纳市摘牌价仍留有相当余量:
目前THQ慈善包已售出60多万份,以均价5.62美元计算,仅此一项公司就募得300多万美元(其中一部分为善款,比例由买家指定,但有相当一部分铁杆玩家将资金全数留给THQ以助其渡过难关)。

THQ将重点开发Linux平台游戏 大作都将移植?
近日,THQ总裁Jason Rubin在接受外媒采访时透露称公司正考虑是否要开发Linux平台的游戏。Jason Rubin表示THQ未来会积极拓展自己的业务寻找新的发展方向,吸引更多玩家。
“我从大量的THQ Humble Bundle活动评论中发现,非Windows平台玩家是一个非常活跃的用户群体,因此像THQ这样的游戏公司不应该忽视他们的存在。”Jason Rubin说到,但THQ将会在对游戏作品的移植成本与收益作出评估后再决定是否继续推出Linux版本的游戏。
同时,报道还指出,THQ或将采用Unity 4引擎来开发面向Linux平台的游戏作品,这意味着该公司将在现有游戏作品的移植选择方面采取更加谨慎的态度。

《英雄连2》将全面支持DX11 赶紧升级显卡吧
开发商Relic刚刚通过官方Facebook主页确认旗下战争策略新作《英雄连2》将全面支持DX11。早前《孤岛危机3》DX11独占的消息就已经让玩家们压力山大了,而现在大家又多了一个升级显卡的理由。
以下是官方通过Facebook发布的说明:
“《英雄连2》将全面支持DX11!Essence Engine 3引擎已完全支持DX11硬件的细分曲面技术。这意味着在《英雄连2》将带来开创性的图形画面,包括雪地景观在有单位行进或通过时都会有逼真的深度变化。”
Relic许诺将带来突破性的视觉效果,并为我们带来了一张全新的DX11游戏截图。官方同时也表示,DX11这一技术在Alpha的压力测试中就已经体现出来。

要破产了吗?THQ申请保护令 全盘出售名下资产
作为协议的一部分,THQ将会出售其旗下“四家工作室及在开发中游戏”给Clearlake Capital Group(清水湖投资集团)。该公司宣布,在资产转移期间,他们依旧会照常运作,不会影响到工作进度。
THQ的正式公开声明上如是道:“公司旗下的所有工作室会照常运作,而所有开发团亦继续工作。本公司对自己现有的游戏有绝对的信心。THQ与世界上一众顶尖的独立开发工作室一直保持着合作关系,作为本次买卖交易的部分内容,本公司正在咨询这些工作室,是否愿意更改合作协议,将合作方转交到Clearlake名下。”
或者很多人在看见“破产”或“全盘出售”这些字眼的时候,便会立刻想到THQ即将崩溃的画面,但事实上,THQ这次将名下资产卖给另一家私人机构,也可以说是一种变相的融资吧。
THQ董事长Jason Rubin随后补充道:“我们THQ有的是难以估量和富有创意的人才,我们很期待能够和有经验的投资商合作。我们会继续利用已有的知识产权来开发更高素质的核心游戏,创造新系列作品,并且在传统和数字销售渠道上推动玩家的需求。”

游戏巨头公司THQ的陨落之谜 愚蠢而不可救药
今年最倒霉最衰最惹人关注的游戏公司大概就是THQ了吧,这破倒霉公司三天两头传出负面传闻,到了年末的时候,终于传出了破产的游戏,那么THQ为何会沦落到今天这步田地?不能怪市场不能怪环境,也不能怪金融危机,更不能怪玩家不支持THQ,《暗黑血统2》就那种水准,居然卖出了140万套,可见玩家已经很给THQ面子了,所以关键原因其实就在于THQ频频做出一些自毁长城,自断经脉的行为,只能说是这家公司的管理层自作自受了。
愚蠢而不可救药的管理层
要说THQ最根本的堕落原因,还是在于他们那奇葩的管理层,由于他们做出的奇葩事情太多,无法一一列举,所以我只谈几个比较出名的,一个就是他们居然让他们的前任总裁Brian J. Farrell这个神奇的人物从1995年一直干到了2012年,早在2007年THQ出现很多问题的时候,他们就该解雇此人,但是却一直让此人干到了今年,这是怎样的一种精神啊,结果就是,这位仁兄拍拍屁股走人,丢下个没法收拾的烂摊子,最后换了总裁也没办法收拾残局,其实无论谁来接手,都是没法改变THQ破产的命运了;另外一件事就是THQ放弃了儿童游戏的市场,早年THQ做出了很多的儿童游戏,并且斩获颇丰,GBA时代很多游戏的片头都会出现THQ的标志,后来呢,THQ就逐渐减少在儿童游戏市场这一块的投入了,到了2011年,他们更是彻底退出了儿童游戏市场,这种做法真是令人哭笑不得,要知道儿童的钱是最好赚的,不管哪个国家都是如此,而THQ这一退出,无异于自断手脚,我猜当年其他厂商看到THQ此举,估计一个个都乐死了。
想模仿却都成了四不像
THQ这家公司有个很好玩的理念,就是现在啥游戏火,我马上就做个模仿品,根本上来说这个想法没错,但是他们做出来的模仿品却全都是四不像,或者说是劣质模仿片,例如最近这几年使命召唤系列不是挺火的么,于是他们就开始做一个山寨品,这个山寨品就是《国土防线》,结果游戏做出来后那真是惊天地泣鬼神,恶评连连,公司股价直接跌了26%,这样一款烂作,他们花了那么多钱宣传,搞了那么大声势,最后却是这样一个结果,天知道他们是怎么想的。
THQ另一个山寨失败的例子就是前阵子的《暗黑血统2》,平心而论这款游戏还是有一定水准的,但是野心过大了,基本上是眉毛胡子一把抓,恨不得能把当下所有流行的经典游戏元素全都融合进去,结果就是能看到很多经典游戏的元素,却没有自身的特色,整个游戏玩起来枯燥而漫长,很多重复而无聊的任务,跑路太多,多到令人郁闷。
专横霸道 随心所欲
THQ公司的行事理念完全就是今天想到啥就干啥,明天想到啥再干啥,完全不考虑长远的问题,例如刺客信条系列不是火了么,他们就将这个系列的创意总监Patrice Desilets挖了过来,还顺带挖走了育碧的很多员工,搞到后来育碧告上法庭,禁止THQ从自己这边挖走员工,这件事看起来好像THQ赚了,但是结果呢,因为法律相关规定,Patrice Desilets在加入THQ后一年内不得从事游戏制作的工作,所以直到不久前才有了Patrice Desilets制作具体项目的消息,结果没过多久,THQ就宣布破产了,在自身财务状况并不乐观的情况下还花一堆钱挖来这么多人,THQ的管理层人员还真都是不怕死的英雄啊。
此外THQ随心所欲的关闭旗下的一些游戏工作室,转卖员工,做出决策就跟儿戏一样,此类事情也发生多次了,并且旗下仅存的一些游戏工作室也因为母公司财务状况恶化而面临种种困境,这也无形中形成了一种恶性循环,最后终于压垮了THQ,无法想象这样一家决策和管理如此混乱的公司最后不会走向绝路。
THQ虽然宣布破产了,但是最近有各种分析说,破产了也不代表THQ就完蛋了,毕竟THQ旗下有些品牌和资产还是有着很大的价值的,即便没有公司收购重组THQ,这些品牌也还是会有公司买下来的,另外最近传出各种消息,说有好几家公司对收购THQ有兴趣,其中传得比较多的则是育碧想要收购THQ这么一种说法,我倒希望这消息是真的,虽然育碧做的游戏并不是那么好玩,但是起码育碧在商业经营方面比起THQ来说聪明得多,不会像THQ的管理层那样一无是处,当然了,THQ最终命运如何,只有老天知道了。

华纳兄弟对收购THQ也有兴趣 只要游戏不要公司
THQ破产了,因为担心旗下游戏品牌从此消失,很多玩家比该公司老板更着急。今天我们就为大家带来一个好消息,事实上,已经有多家公司对收购THQ表现出了浓厚兴趣,其中就包括华纳兄弟(全球最大的电影和电视娱乐制作公司)这样的大户。
根据美国破产法院处的消息,现在有5家公司非常积极的希望收购THQ,正在为THQ的官司奔走的Sam Greene表示,其中一家是业界大头华纳兄弟,另外的名字则不方便透露。
Greene同时表示,这些潜在的收购者最希望的是收购THQ旗下的独立游戏,而不是整个公司。这也是双方至今无法谈拢的原因之一,THQ当然希望打包把自己卖出去,一旦游戏被瓜分,他们要东山再起就更难了。
与THQ想法不同的是他们的债权人,为了早日收回款项,他们已经为THQ设定了30天的上限,要求他们尽快把游戏卖出去。
目前得到的消息是,本周之内法院会就此事做出裁定,也就是说,也许在下周之一我们就会听到THQ最终何去何从的消息了,祝他们幸运。

《英雄连2》最新UI截图 游戏界面战斗机制展示
尽管THQ已经破产,但其正在进行中的项目仍然还存活着,比如它们的RTS大作《英雄连2(Company Of Heroes 2)》。
近日《英雄连2》通过官网公开了本作的最新UI(用户界面)截图,首次展示了游戏的界面和战斗机制,“目的是给玩家呈现一个全景的战场和快捷的单位控制。”
游戏的控制界面划出几个不同的区域,官网日志为玩家解释了游戏如何运作的原理。与前作类似的迷你地图,方便玩家鸟瞰战场上的捕捉点和领土控制边线。那些独特的图标代表着不同的地图目标。
紧挨着迷你地图的是单位描述,玩家们在这个地方会看到游戏角色的健康状态,经验和忠诚度。其他信息面板,像桥梁和资源面板,玩家在这里可以找到单位信息,有价值的资源和更多信息。
尽管这个新的界面已经是完全的智能了,但是开发团队从Alpha压力测试到封闭测试反馈期间还会做一些细微的调整。

恐怖游戏新作《Insane》并未终止开发
由执导过电影《潘神的迷宫》的导演吉尔莫·德尔·托罗 Guillermo del Toro负责制作,THQ代理发行的新作《Insane》在2010年的VGA上公布了首段影像,游戏风格诡异惊悚,但是从预告片中看不出游戏的更多细节,更为诡异的是游戏将于2013年才能与玩家见面。
但是在游戏公布后的这两年中该作简直杳无音信,正当玩家们以为这款游戏将被腰斩之时,该作却有了新的消息。
游戏的发行商为THQ,但是大家也知道THQ最近面临倒闭,由于经济原因THQ放弃了该游戏,他们宣布该作将在一个新的工作室中继续被开发。多伦多太阳报采访到了游戏的导演吉尔莫·德尔·托罗,他称目前正在和一个“大公司”针对游戏的事宜进行协商。
“我们正在和一个非常非常大的公司谈判,我不能说这是什么公司,但是它非常大。他们真正的想要制作一款游戏,他们会给我们的努力给予回报。”吉尔莫·德尔·托罗说到:“开发游戏的部分设备目前需要更新,因为现在我看到新技术力量已经在其他游戏中浮现出来,这总会发生的。但是我们的原则是试图提供一个真正能让玩家们感觉身临其境的游戏体验。所以这款游戏真的是非常的有挑战性。”
THQ要东山再起?旗下Relic工作室招程序渲染师
之前我们跟大家一起讨论过关于THQ这家非常有业界良心的公司破产的事情,大家的想法或许并不一致,但是今天小编告诉大家,或许我们讨论这个还为时过早。
THQ申请破产的消息近日在网上讨论的沸沸扬扬,人们起初认为这家麻烦缠身的公司终于迎来了它的毁灭之日。如果他们注意到(很多人并不知道)破产法第7和第11的区别时,就会松了一口气的。
THQ总裁Jason Rubin解释目前状况时说道:“发行商不能像傻瓜那样办事,更不可能在这种紧要关头雇佣新人员,这是错误的行为。”
而THQ旗下Relic娱乐工作室刚刚张贴了广告,要在温哥华招聘全职的程序渲染师。
THQ的子公司继续招聘更多的雇员也不一定是错误的,我更乐意看到THQ东山再起,因为THQ有很多有才华的人,失去他们我会很伤心。

THQ拍卖会于1月22开幕 肢解出售旗下全部财产
终于,THQ不堪众多债主的压迫,抛开了所有对其苟延残喘的命运任然抱有期待的玩家,低头承认输掉了这场命运之战!
美国特拉华州威尔明顿市破产法院的Mary Walrath法官识破了THQ试图保全自己的“阴谋”,她指出THQ在与Clearlake Capital Group达成保密协议之前并未及时将出售自己的消息公之于众,潜在的买家只能通过破产申请察觉到此次出售的消息,这种做法对于破产进程中的出售流程而言并不恰当。
THQ原本计划于2013年1月15日达成这笔交易,以6000万美元的掩护竞拍价格被Clearlake Capital Group原封不动地收至麾下,但今日召开的听证会砸烂了THQ的如意算盘,法院站到了THQ的债权人那边,彻底断送了这家公司的命运:
最终的结果是——当事人达成协议,THQ的拍卖会将于1月22日开幕,届时将允许肢解出售(piecemeal sales)THQ旗下的全部财产。
消息传出之后,THQ内部都已经陷入了混乱,连Volition(黑道圣徒Saints Row系列开发商)的员工都要问Hunter“拍卖会让THQ被拆得多零散?工作室和游戏品牌是否会被分别拍卖?”但他还没有得到回应
这意味着THQ总裁Justin Rubin写的那篇公开信完全沦为一纸空谈,THQ最终还是陷入了清算财产抵偿债务的泥沼,短暂的破产保护仅仅拖延了债务的偿还期限。没错,THQ完蛋了。
另一位潜在的买家于本次听证会中现身——其身份完全没有悬念——而且是用血红的大字写着“大凶”的下下签——业界触手怪,名作粉碎机EA。
关于此次出售的具体方案(例如是否会将开发团队与游戏品牌绑定拍卖)、肢解出售对于THQ已经开放预购的游戏(例如《英雄连2》)会产生何种影响等问题尚未得到解答。
Distressed Debt Investing博客公布了来自今日听证会的更多细节消息,但仍未提到肢解出售会对THQ旗下目前尚处于开发阶段并即将问世的数款游戏造成怎样的影响,也不能确定工作室是否会与自己开发的品牌分割出售。THQ及其他当事人尚未对此表态。

保种不断后 四个能挽救THQ大作的游戏开发商
当THQ在1989年创建时,电子游戏产业正蓬勃发展并具有无限潜力。经过10年的发展,THQ发展出许多顶尖的游戏工作室像Volition和Vigil Games,他们制作了《黑道圣徒》和《暗黑血统》这样脍炙人口的游戏。而到了2013年,这些有前途的工作室却变得债务缠身,成了快要灭绝的招牌。
在1月22日,THQ将被迫在拍卖会上卖出旗下的所有游戏系列。早先报道称买家为华纳兄弟,还有众多公司对其充满了兴趣,我能想出至少有四家公司有能力拯救这些游戏系列,不让它们消失。
1.育碧公司
《英雄连》《地铁:最后的曙光》
在2012年E3中,育碧在他们的发布会上公布了一大推新游戏。许多人对《刺客信条》系列非常期待。但育碧还有许多重量级作品,比如《孤岛惊魂》系列,《波斯王子》系列,《细胞分裂》系列,《雷曼》系列,《Just Dance》系列,还有新宣布的《监听风暴》。
2.动视
《黑道圣徒》
自2003年以来发售第一款《使命召唤》以来,动视便不停发布续作,以完善这款第一人称射击游戏。同时他们也在不断扩展《变形金刚》和《蜘蛛侠》系列,但没有任何一款游戏能达到《COD》的一半销量。
由于动视觉得他们旗下的其他游戏无法获得较高的销量,于是他们在2011年8月将《真实犯罪》系列卖给了史克威尔公司。这款游戏在去年发售状况良好,我确定他们肯定后悔自己做出的的决定。如果他们能得到《黑道圣徒》系列游戏,便可以轻易地弥补自己的短板,并证明他们有能力发展出第一人称射击游戏之外的其他游戏。
3 美国艺电
《wwe》和《国土防线》
当EA CEO John Riccitello在1997年十月加入EA后,他为EA称霸整个游戏界画下了蓝图。这个妄尊自大的企业,试图与动视争夺FSP类游戏大厂的头把交椅。EA也曾试图将Take-Two Interactive收入囊中,以此垄断所有的2K体育游戏还有GTA系列游戏。
当它购买下THQ的财产,他们最有可能买下《WWE》和《国土防线》的版权。EA已经拥有了《UFC Undisputed》系列,并且很有可能继续寻觅一款摔跤类游戏。或者,EA会在Crytek UK正在研发的《国土防线2》中插上一脚,因为在《孤岛危机》系列之前,他们和开发者曾一起工作过。最后,你们就睁大着眼睛看动视和EA争夺《黑道圣徒》系列游戏版权吧。
4 史克威尔·艾尼克斯
《暗黑血统》
自从史克威尔接手了《杀出重围》《热血无赖》《古墓丽影》和《杀手》等大作之后,它开始尽情享受作为发行商的美好时光。《最终幻想》系列游戏广为人知,而令人高兴的是他们终于能发展其他类型的游戏了。
THQ只有一款游戏符合他们的商业模式,那便是《暗黑血统》系列。令人无法自拔的开放式世界,吸引人的战斗,还有激动人心的故事,这些元素足以让其成为最火的商品。想想Vigil将会用更多的资源,时间,还有无限的想象力完成的作品是什么样的。史克威尔还能以他自身的影响力来让那些不知道《暗黑血统》的玩家们来尝试它。

THQ分尸大拍卖开始!世嘉大爱领走《战锤40K》
最近业界最大的盛事是什么?不是新作的发布,不是系列大作的重制,而是准一流游戏发行商“THQ”的分拆大会。由于经营不善,THQ于较早前已经申请了破产保护令,而今日我们终于等到这个庞然大物将其旗下的知识产权一一拿出来拍卖了。
THQ的资产拍卖会已于今日早晨正式开始了,不过由于拍卖会本身并不对外开放,所以各家媒体暂时都没有确切的相关消息。直至目前为止,有不少内幕人士倒是透露,世嘉极有可能拍得THQ旗下的附属公司“Relic Entertainment”。
据相关小道消息显示,Sega-Sammy控股公司(前身为世嘉株式会社)相信是目前Relic Entertainment最大的竞标者。
Relic Entertainment是《战锤40K》系列和《英雄连》系列的原开发商,所以很多人都看好这次世嘉和Relic的结合,事关世嘉同时也是Creative Assembly的龙头老大;旗下名作《幕府将军2:全面战争》大受好评——是其最成功的一个战略游戏旁支。
另外亦有消息显示,《死亡岛》的发行商:“Koch Media”,现正在积极竞拍《黑道圣徒》及《红色派系》的开发商——“Volition Inc.”。
世嘉和Koch两家公司都有充裕的资金;兴许他们的盈利额不如其他一线发行商,但他们本身的债台也不如其他一线公司筑得那么高,所以更容易在短时间内调集大量流动资金。
除此之外,一直追踪着THQ破产经过的DDInvesting表示,育碧(Ubisoft)也在争取多家THQ名下的附属公司。
育碧的大老板Yves Guillemont早前曾经表示过,他对THQ名下多个知识产权都相当有兴趣,恰巧双方都在蒙特利尔有分公司驻守,所以育碧这次有可能会乘机吸纳THQ的蒙特利尔分部。
如果“南方公园工作室”无法阻止这次拍卖的话,《南方公园:真理之杖》便会成为育碧的囊中物。
先旨声明,以上所述一切暂时还停留在“内幕消息”阶段,真相究竟如何还有待拍卖会落幕后才会有正式公布,各位看客不宜为这些传闻而太过兴奋。外界暂时还没有《暗黑血统》系列开发商——“Vigil”的有关消息。

THQ破产拍卖最终结果公布 资产被一分为五
在经过22小时的破产拍卖后,严阵以待的游戏出版商THQ将被剥离资产,并出售给一批曾经的竞争对手。
出卖资产后,THQ将停止商业活动。该出版商曾一度可能被资本投资公司以6000万美元买断,但遭到破产案法官Mary Walrath否决,原因是这个方案遭到THQ创始人反对。
根据法律文件规定,要想分拆出售THQ资产,这些分拆资产的售卖总值必须超过Clearlake报出的6000万美元。如今,这个条件已经兑现了。
交易的详情将在稍后向公众公开。THQ未被认购的工作室将面临裁员甚是彻底关闭的命运。
THQ首席执行官Brian Farrell给员工写了一封信,里面公布了拍卖的最终结果,结果如下(所有货币单位皆以美元计算):
“世嘉(Sega)”以2600万买下“Relic”;
“Koch Media”以2800万买下“Volition”工作室和《地铁》;
“Crytek”买下了《国土防线》Homefront;
“Take 2”买下了“Evolve”;
“育碧(Ubisoft)”则以570万兼拼了THQ的蒙特利尔分部和《南方公园:真理之杖》

失业THQ员工泄露THQ总裁及CEO致员工的一封信
外媒Kotaku从一位已经失业的THQ员工那里得到了这封信,我们一起来感伤一下吧!
致THQ全体员工:
如今,我们已经得到了藉由公司财务重组及破产保护案所探寻的答案。虽然我有很多话想说,但还是先公布拍卖会的结果吧:
·昨日上午,我们收到了一份关于当前运营产业的竞标单,包括Clearlake所开出的价格,以及大批竞标者对于个别资产的竞标。
·在一次持续22小时的拍卖流程之后,最终的结果是:对于个别资产的竞标总额超过了单一买家对于公司整体的出价。
·简而言之,我们不得不向美国破产法院出示并认同这一结果。
·我们将按计划出售下列多个资产:
·世嘉(Sega)同意收购水雷(Relic)
·Koch Media同意收购Volition和《地下铁》(Metro)
·Crytek同意收购《国土防线》(Home Front)
·Take 2同意收购Evolve(由Turtle Rock Studios开发的新作)和(这里是空白)
·育碧(Ubisoft)同意收购THQ Montreal和《南方公园》
我们预计会在本周之内完成出售。
THQ旗下部分资产,包括我们的出版集团和Vigil(《暗黑血统》系列开发商),以及其他知识产权并未包括在此次出售协议之内。他们将作为破产保护的一部分得到保留。倘若有可能的话,我们会尽己所能为它们找到合适的买家。
这对于员工而言意味着什么?
我们希望绝大多数任职于被包括在此次出售范围中的部门的员工都能被新的买主所雇佣。但是我们无法保证这些买主是否有意如此,同样也不能确保其买主是否会筛选掉部分不需要的职位。倘若新买主有意继续雇佣你的话,你会在本周或下周初收到相关通知。请留意你的新劳动合同,尤其是关于工资和奖金的部分,这些内容可能会与THQ的规定有所不同。
如果你任职于未受此次出售影响的部门,我们很抱歉:你的工作结束了。只有一小部分THQ总部的工作人员会被持续雇佣至1月25日,以协助完成此次过渡。THQ拥有足够的资源以支持这一部分员工继续工作,我们会立即联络这些员工,以确保他们在转型期继续得到雇佣。我们会为未被出售部门的员工支付遣散费,以尽量减少他们在迈向事业的下一阶段的过程中所遭受的损失。
我们明白你们对于这一消息有诸多疑问。我们会在明日的会议中详细讨论这一公告,并回答你们的问题。你们会收到一份情况简报,以及关于你们可能会关心的问题的答复。请仔细阅读这些材料。
个人致公司员工
诸位在THQ这个大家庭中所做的工作是富有想象力、创造力和艺术性的,这些成果得到了我们的忠实玩家的高度评价。尽管迎来了今日的结果,但我们仍为共同完成的一切而感到骄傲。
能够与THQ团队共事是我们的荣耀。尽管这家公司将不复存在,我们仍为自己的大量工作室和游戏能够因新的买主而继续存在而感到欣慰。我们原本希望整个公司都能够保持完整,但如今只要能收到各个部门在新的组织中继续运作的消息我们就已经知足了。
感谢诸位为THQ团队做出的贡献。我们由衷祝愿诸位好运并能够一直保持联系。
谨上
Brian Farrell
首席执行官
Jason Rubin
总裁

《暗黑血统》开发商新项目曝光 赶紧来买我吧
THQ破产正式退出游戏舞台后,旗下许多大型开发工作室以及游戏专营权都找到了买家,收购其项目的厂商包括Crytek、世嘉、育碧与Koch Media。而让THQ和玩家们始料不及的是《暗黑血统(Darksiders)》系列以及其开发商Vigil居然无人问津,连THQ总裁Jason Rubin也自嘲式的说这看起来有点“滑稽”。
虽然THQ不在了,但Jason Rubin仍然向记者曝了点猛料。他称目前Vigil在开发一款代号为“Crawler”的大作,而这款大作有两个超屌的形容词:“奇妙的(fantastic)”和“真正意义上独特的(truly unique)”。
Jason Rubin说:
“‘Crawler’是一款真正意义上独特的、奇妙的大作。事实上没人对Vigil报价真是让人觉得滑稽和讽刺。如果我没有被禁止投标的话,我肯定会自己掏钱买下Vigil。这不是安慰人,这是事实。”
对于没人报价买Vigil,Jason Rubin也发表了自己的看法:
“Vigil刚完成了《暗黑血统2》,离下一款作品出来还有一段时间。尽管我们已经努力在争取,但确实没有人明确表态对Vigil感兴趣。现在大家都知道Vigil正在研发一个全新的项目,我相信会有人愿意收购它的。”
此前《猎天使魔女》开发商Platinum Games老板表示有兴趣收购《暗黑血统》,但条件是“得很便宜才行!”

THQ二十四年发展史回顾 1989成立现在入土为安
随着THQ的拍卖尘埃落定,这家成立于1989年,有着二十多年历史的游戏商正式宣告寿终正寝。值此历史性时刻,让我们来回顾下它的成长历程:
THQ的前身是1989年成立的Trinity Acquisition,1990年THQ开始作为玩具业务品牌出现。直到于当年9月成功收购了曾推出过《波斯王子》Prince of Persia的知名游戏发行商Br.derbund,才得以正式进军游戏界。
THQ于1991年推出了自己的首款游戏《小飞侠和海盗》 Peter Pan and the Pirates,并在这一领域发展的很好,以至于1994年干脆完全抛弃了原来的玩具业务(如《小鬼当家》模型和棋牌等),全力投入到游戏领域。曾面向任天堂平台推出过《自由博击》Pit Fighter和《暴力摩托》Road Rash-Jailbreak等比较知名的作品。不过在上世纪90年代中期,当竞争对手们纷纷进军PS、SS、N64等新兴主机平台时,THQ却继续专注于SFC等老旧主机平台的游戏开发。尽管因为成本低廉赚得盆满钵满,但却也因此错失了发展良机。
1997年,THQ推出了首款获得世界冠军摔盟授权的摔角游戏,并获得了巨大成功,更导致竞争对手EA迅速失去了授权许可。从此摔角游戏成为THQ的招牌产品,并在随后几年又推出了更受欢迎的世界摔角娱乐授权作品。这一优势也一直持续至如今的综合格斗游戏领域,THQ的UFC系列始终压制EA的MMA系列。
从2000年开始,THQ开始通过大手笔的收购和创建新工作室(如Volition、Relic、Vigil、Kaos)来拓展新业务,并与迪士尼、MTV、尼克频道等合作推出授权游戏,这迅速成为THQ最为成功同时也最不稳定的核心业务。随着旗下拥有的游戏品牌越来越多(如Games Workshops打造的《战锤40K》Warhammer 40,000系列),THQ成长为全球规模最大的游戏发行商之一。
THQ于2007年收获公司史上最高的销售和利润成绩,像《战争黎明》Dawn of War、《红色派系》Red Faction、《全能战士》Full Spectrum Warrior、《毁灭全人类》Destroy All Humans、《黑道圣徒》Saint Row都表现不错,再加上深受少年儿童欢迎的摔角游戏、皮克斯电影和《海绵宝宝》等改编游戏,THQ发展势头一片大好。
但谁也没有想到,转折来得太快。2009年,THQ在儿童游戏市场遭遇重挫,同时核心游戏也一蹶不振。全球性的经济危机严重打击了游戏消费者,THQ从两年前足以比肩传统巨头EA和动视,无法阻止的迅速开始下滑。尽管THQ马上调整对策将重心减少只放到几款大作上,并关闭了一些表现不佳的工作室,但投入巨资的《黑道圣徒》Saints Row、《战争黎明Dawn ofWar》、《终极格斗冠军赛》Ultimate Fighting Championship等系列新作,以及邀请说唱巨星50美分加盟的《50美分 血沙》50 Cent: Blood on the Sand都未能收回成本。
2010年,THQ推出了游戏平板硬件uDraw,这是一款针对Wii、PS3、XB360打造的绘图周边,设计和制造花费了上百万美元,但最终以失败告终。此举也标志着THQ已深陷泥潭、不能自拔。到2011年,由于uDraw的惨败,THQ无法再维持原来的儿童授权游戏,只得全部押宝高品质的核心游戏。但伴随着崇高目标而来的却是令人失望的业绩,像《家园前线》Homefront和《红色派系 世界末日》Red Faction: Armageddon都未能达到预期销量。
2012年1月,THQ宣布将会推出《黑道圣徒》Saints Row、《暗黑血统》Darksiders、《英雄连》Company Of Heroes、《地铁》Metro 2033、《终极格斗冠军赛》UFC的系列新作,并终结了《红色派系》Red Faction系列做垂死挣扎。6月,THQ将《终极格斗冠军赛》品牌售予了竞争对手EA,结束了自摔角游戏以来双方就开始的明争暗斗。7月,由日本著名制作人板垣伴信主持开发的《恶魔三人组》宣布流产。8月,好莱坞名导Guillermo del Toro首次进军游戏业的《精神错乱》insanity也宣告取消——原因都是THQ已无法再负担昂贵的开发费用。
截至目前,THQ押宝打造的超级核心大作仍没有诞生。在经过了不太成功的求生自救之举后,THQ的游戏资产终于在本周被竞争对手们纷纷竞拍买走,它的时代也正式宣告结束。从崛起到衰落,THQ如流星一般滑过业界星空。尽管它的规模曾位居全球游戏业前列,但固步自封和跟随潮流的保守经营还是让THQ收到了历史惩罚。这家可悲而可耻的游戏商能撑过2009年的经济危机都堪称奇迹,现在终于该到了入土为安的时候了。

THQ总裁:未来市场我们能生存 只是没撑到
就在上周,THQ几乎已经卖掉了所有有价值的资产,公司也宣告申请破产。不过在最近一次采访中,THQ总裁Jason Rubin却表示未来几年内,数字化发行浪潮必定兴起,THQ也做了充分的准备,本可以借势重振,只可惜他们没能撑到曙光到来:
“我敢肯定在不远的将来,数字化发行和崭新的商业模式会为开发者与发行商带来比现在多得多的利益与商机。如果按几年后的市场形势,(对数字化)我们有充分的准备,THQ本能生存下去。但在现下这种过渡期,游戏业是3A巨头们的天下,规模大的发行商实在比我们有利太多,可几年后,他们也会面临前所未有的挑战。时间会证明我是对的,不过很可惜我没办法和THQ一起证明这一点了。”
也许Jason Rubin是对的,现在的游戏业对中小开发者越来越艰难,而数字化可以有效帮助他们打击盗版及二手游戏,从而留住利润,但确实遗憾这个美好未来不属于THQ。

玩家泪目!新东家不懂游戏 THQ游戏未来在哪?
随着THQ卖光了资产,我就越发的关心一个问题:我们最喜欢的《黑道圣徒》系列未来的走向如何?开发组很可能会坚持系列的原汁原味,但是以我们对于大多数改旗易帜的游戏来说,很可能会裁掉不少原班人马换上自己的人,而这将会极大的影响游戏的元素甚至走向。而现在令人拥有这种担心的不仅仅是《黑道圣徒》系列,THQ的其他游戏一样面临着该问题。不过既然THQ已经卖光了,我们只能希望新东家随着原班人马的意思去做游戏了。
《黑道圣徒》的工作室Volition Studios已经在几周前卖给了Koch Media,在这个收购中Koch同样也获得了《地铁》系列的开发权,不过好消息是《地铁:最后的曙光》在上一次曝光的时候看起来完成度已经很高了,所以这一作的素质我们不用太过担心。新东家最需要做的就是维持该系列的4A大作本色,但是这可能也是Koch所面临最令他们恐惧的问题。如果他们对于游戏的认知以及把持能力不足,做出来的游戏很有可能令玩家大跌眼镜--“这是我们之前玩的那个游戏么!!”
如果我们将担心的范围不局限于《黑道圣徒》和《地铁》,我真是想说我担心所有被卖出去的工作室。《南方公园:真理之杖》已经开发了很久了,并且由于各种原因时至现在还没有发行,现在这个作品被育碧购入,对于育碧一直以来强烈的约束员工以及创意迸发的特点,我倒是比较放心的。
THQ名下诸多游戏还没有被决定命运的可能就是《暗黑血统》系列了,很显然该系列应该是四部曲,每部都渲染天启四骑士之中的一位,就算还没有人决定收购这一系列,我也相信该系列最终也会名花有主,因为前两部游戏的销量都很可观。
在THQ破产的时候,他们卖出了大部分的财产,当时我真的相当恐惧,因为我见过太多改换东家毁了续作的先例了,但同时我又很是兴奋,因为新东家往往能带来不少的新鲜血液以及新鲜创意,但是事实究竟如何,还是要看新掌帅印的人做出来的新游戏是什么样子的了。

《黑道圣徒》买家表示自己没野心做下一个THQ
在该公司倒闭前8个月临危受命的THQ前行政总裁——“Jason Rubin”——,上星期细谈有关他在THQ倒闭前的最后挣扎;当时他们如何“有可能”撑过这个难关;他们在途中所犯下的关键错误等等。
Koch Media的行政总裁“Klemens Kundratitz”表示,他的公司会谨慎行事,以免重蹈THQ的覆辙——“很多人觉得我们算不上游戏业界的大腕,他们都不明白我们在做什么。由于我们最近吸纳的新IP(知识产权)而惹来这么多关注目光,令我感到很欣慰,但同时也不得不说,我们没有野心成为下一个THQ。”
此后,Kundratitz便稍微解释了一番Koch Media的内部结构……
多得由Deep Silver(Koch名下的游戏发行品牌)发行的热门游戏《死亡岛》,该公司逐渐在欧洲地区以外,慢慢凝聚起一定的势力,也为其发行品牌Deep Silver赢取了不少名声。
骤眼看来,Koch Media似乎已经准备就绪,随时可以发动一起全方位的传媒冲击,“我们一直都在找寻自己的道路,并用自己认为恰当的方式来做生意。我们不想复制其他人的成功故事。”
“我们对Deep Silver充满热诚,现在对该品牌的投资明显扩大了很多,不过Koch Media同时也有相当大比重的增值发行业务驻扎在欧洲地区里面,亦是我们将来的中心支柱。”
“第三方面的要点当属我们的电影业务,这也是在欧洲发展——我们收购电影版权,然后通过影院、家庭娱乐设施和电视等媒体开拓利益。这三点业务都处于增长阶段,三足鼎立,而不偏重于任何一方,至少我们觉得这是个好主意。”
说实话,Koch Media绝对是一家不容小视的跨媒体企业,只是他们过去的主战场不在北美,而且平常行事低调,所以声明不显。随着这次收购了开发商“Volition Inc.”以及《黑道圣徒》和《地铁》等IP,相信他们在游戏业界已成气候。一起期待Koch以后的表现吧!

拒绝步THQ后尘《死或生》开发商度过的第四季度
就在这个游戏开发商会因为一个游戏的失误而关门大吉的年代里,在这个THQ公司由于种种原因倒闭的年代里,一个正在强大发展的公司Tecmo Koei,为游戏界展示了自己的手段。
就在12月季度(截止于2012年12月的3个月之间), Tecmo Koei的净利润同比去年上涨了291.7%,达到了¥2.6 billion ($27.9m/£17.7m).
我没说错,就是将近300%的增长率,最有趣的是增长并不是来自移动手机业务,或者网上游戏业务等其他游戏公司增长效益的主要来源,实际上,Tecmo Koei的网上游戏与移动手机业务反而下降了10%,跌至¥3.8 billion ($40.8m/£25.9m).
我认为原因是在这三个月中,Tecmo Koei公司并未发行游戏至 iPhone或者iPad平台上 ,当你在集中精力销售主机平台游戏时,你也许并不需要把精力集中于别处。
所以我们特意发一张可爱的 Hitomi的照片来为公司感到庆贺,我一点也不怀疑,Tecmo Koei 公司度过了一个美满的营销季度,也不惊奇于《死或生5》发售时候的DLC了。

《暗黑血统》系列精尽人亡 天启四骑士无缘再见
喜欢《暗黑血统》系列的玩家们,这里恐怕要告诉你们一个坏消息了,《暗黑血统》系列恐怕已经走到了尽头,这部属于THQ的动作游戏系列终于还是没有成功找到买家,也许再也不会了。基本上《暗黑血统》系列就到此为止了。
虽然我们报道过Crytek确实从《暗黑血统》的开发商Vigil工作室中招募了很大一批开发游戏的核心成员,他们也曾负责过《暗黑血统》的开发工作,不过也仅此而已了,他们只带走了这些员工,却把这部游戏留在了Vigil。
这周早些时候,Rovio的创意总监Patrick Liu在Twitter上说:“《暗黑血统》没有了!这是为为为为为什么啊Crytek...”而《暗黑血统》的首席设计师Haydn Dalton回应说:“这是真的,Pat(指Patrick)...再好的东西也有结束的时候。所以我们才要在它们结束之前好好去享受它们。”
在这里,Dalton基本上已经肯定了《暗黑血统》命运的终结,似乎虽然感到遗憾,可是他也已经无力挽回了。趁《暗黑血统》系列还没有过时,好好享受它们吧。

THQ剩余游戏资产将于4月1日再次进行拍卖
已经破产的THQ在上个月结束了首轮拍卖后,还剩下相当一部分资产没能拍出。今天,THQ宣布他们将在法院的监督下进行第二次拍卖。本次参与竞拍的品牌包括《黑暗血统》、《家园》、《红色派系》等众多名作,至于公司大量其他品牌及授权游戏(如《漫威超级英雄战队》等)都将打包出售。拍卖会第一次投标定于4月1日,最后一次则在15日,持续半个月时间,而全部交易预计在五月中旬完成。不知届时我们能否看到《黑暗血统》“借尸还魂”。

THQ旗下《暗黑血统》等游戏版权已找到下家
THQ倒闭之后,旗下的游戏品牌版权被拍卖到各个公司,日前THQ宣布Nordict Games获得了旗下《暗黑血统》和《红色派系》的游戏版权。
Nordict Games是瑞典的一家出版商,旗下拥有《致命冒险(Deadfall Adventures)》和《阿卡尼亚》等知名系列。他们从THQ处拍得了众多的游戏版权,包括《暗黑血统》、《红色派系》及《MX vs. ATV》,同时还获得了其他“拥有游戏软件版权”,包括《毁灭全人类(Destroy All Humans!)》和《召唤师(Summoner)》,同时还获得了“其他许可游戏软件版权”,包括《漫画超级英雄战队(Marvel Super Hero Squad)》和《最高指挥官(Supreme Commander)》,以上游戏授权总共拍出490万美元,交易将于2013年5月13日完成。
此外推出《边境之地》系列的Gearbox早先也购买了《家园》系列的游戏版权,拍卖价格为135万美元。
为505游戏则购买了《描绘生命(Drawn to Life)》系列的游戏版权,共支付了30万美元。
THQ to Receive $6.55 Million in Sale of Certain Intellectual Properties to Nordic Games, Gearbox Software, and 505 Games
THQ today announced that it has completed the bidding and sale process on certain of its intellectual properties with three buyers emerging to pay $6.55 million for the six available lots, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. The company is filing its motions today with the Bankruptcy Court to obtain approval of these proposed sales.
The $6.55 million sale of the IP assets breaks down as follows:
• $4.9 million from Nordic Games, a Swedish-based video games publisher, for Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs ATV, Other Owned Software - includes Destroy all Humans!, Summoner and more, and Other Licensed Software - includes Marvel Super Hero Squad, Supreme Commander and more.
• $1.35 million from Gearbox Software, a Texas-based developer of interactive entertainment, for Homeworld.
• $0.3 million from 505 Games, an Italian video game publisher, for Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
The company expects the Bankruptcy Court to hear the sales motions on May 13, 2013 and to finalize the sale transactions thereafter.
On April 18, the company filed its Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement with the Court. The Plan outlines how certain classes of claims will be satisfied. Once the Court approves the Disclosure Statement, voting on the Plan by certain impaired classes will commence.
THQ and its domestic business units filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 19, 2012.

Nordic工作室仍在完成《暗黑血统》等THQ资产交易
Nordic工作室早在四个月以前就已经签订了490万美元的合约,买下了一系列前THQ资产。目前,这家公司依然在努力完成这笔交易,这也就意味着我们可能要多等一段时间才能看到这些游戏的续作了。
Nordic公司负责商务和产品开发的主管人员Reinhard Pollice表示:“花费的时间比我们预想的要长一些,因为THQ方面剩下的人已经很少了。总共也就五个人在管理财务和行政,要完成我们所需的工作和事物,他们人手不够用。”
Pollice说,他非常喜欢他们收购来的游戏系列,但他认为THQ浪费了许多人才和天赋,尤其是在《红色派系》系列作品上。现在,《红色派系》的优先度已经被排在《暗黑血统》《究级大越野》和《泰坦之旅》之后了。不过Nordic已经与前Volition工作室成员进行了详谈,依然在积极地考量这个系列。我们觉着,只要别把这系列游戏变成MOBA类型,大家就都还是朋友。
至于《暗黑血统》,估计还要等几年才会有续作了。Pollice说,Nordic已经与原Vigil工作室的制作团队进行了商讨,主要的问题是,《暗黑血统》开发组中的关键人物有好多现在都在Crytek美国部。

Nordic将推出《暗黑血统 Darksider 》和《红色派系 Red Faction》捆绑版
THQ以前的游戏系列《暗黑血统》和《红色派系》将会在PS3,Xbox 360和PC上推出捆绑版。Nordic在这3个平台上列出了《暗黑血统》的典藏版,这个版本将包括《暗黑血统》和《暗黑血统2》。主机版本还将包括DLC的季票,而PC版本将包括所有的DLC。《红色派系》典藏版的主机板将包括原版游戏和2个续作,而PC版本将加入《红色派系2》。Nordic在4月的时候从THQ处购得两个系列,随后表示会开发《暗黑血统》第三作。

《暗黑血统 | Darksider》前创意总监表示该系列尚未死亡
《暗黑血统》前两作创意制作人Joe Madureira暗示游戏将会有新作品。 - https://www.facebook.com/permali ... 0975722&fref=nf
自THQ倒闭后,该公司旗下的许多经典游戏系列都被拍卖,其中就包括《暗黑血统》系列。虽然目前并没有任何系列新作相关的情报,不过日前该系列的前创意总监表示《暗黑系统》尚未死亡,而且他还暗示最近可能会有“令人兴奋的消息”公开。
近日,《暗黑血统》系列前创意总监Joe Madureira通过其Facebook页面表达了他的这一说法。“《暗黑血统》尚未死亡!新的拥有者Nordic似乎非常有兴趣继续该系列。至于我是否参与,目前我还不能说。希望我们所有人很快就能听到与该系列有关的新情报。”
Nordict Games是瑞典的一家出版商,旗下拥有《致命冒险(Deadfall Adventures)》和《阿卡尼亚》等知名系列。他们从THQ处拍得了众多的游戏版权,包括《暗黑血统》、《红色派系》及《MX vs. ATV》,同时还获得了其他“拥有游戏软件版权”,包括《毁灭全人类(Destroy All Humans!)》和《召唤师(Summoner)》,同时还获得了“其他许可游戏软件版权”,包括《漫画超级英雄战队(Marvel Super Hero Squad)》和《最高指挥官(Supreme Commander)》,以上游戏授权总共拍出490万美元,交易已经于于2013年5月13日完成。
厂商证实《暗黑血统3》将不会出现在今年的E3上
昨天有报道刊登了一名开发者关于《暗黑血统》系列还没有被放弃,并且希望很快会有关于这个系列的消息的言论。一些玩家甚至希望在E3上听到新游戏的宣布,但是根据Nordic的说法,这些都不可能了。
Nordic Games的推特账号在回应一名玩家提问的时候写到:“对不起,但是《暗黑血统3》不会参展这次的E3。” 他们随后在另外一个推特上简单的解释了原因。Nordic写到:“《暗黑血统》系列并没有被放弃,我们还没有达到宣布的程度,需要更多的经验。”
Nordic的这个言论好像说明他们对于下一部游戏的开发非常重视,所以不会在没有准备好之前公布任何消息。这是个好事,因为系列有很多忠实的玩家,谁都不想看到游戏草草的发售。应该让开发商做好充分准备,制作一款好游戏。

Nordic考虑《暗黑血统 |(Darksider)》未来方向 或有新作?
THQ倒闭后,该公司旗下的名作《暗黑血统》系列版权被瑞典发行商Nordic Games GmbH所收购。尽管官方暂未公开新作的具体情报,但日前Nordic Games GmbH表示正在“寻找所有《暗黑血统》系列设计方向的可能性”,这意味着官方或许会在未来制作该系列的新作。
该公司的产品开发总监Reinhard Pollice在接受外媒GenGAME的采访时表示:“我认为《暗黑血统》系列在游戏机制方面很好。《暗黑血统》1代和2代都预示着某些事情,而我们显然不太想让人们失望。所以我们真的打算好好确认一下,看看《暗黑血统》新作有什么可能的好角度,而且还要想想与正确的人选来合作。”
实际上早在5月的时候,《暗黑血统》系列的前创意总监Joe Madureira就曾透露该系列并未真的死掉,更暗示他有可能会参与新作开发。

Nordic Games表示 《暗黑血统3》一定会推出

Nordic Games还在思考他们从已经倒闭的THQ公司收购的《赤色战线》、《暗黑血统》两款系列作的未来发展。产品研发经理Reinhard Police对于在漫长等待后,终于可以谈论一些关于这两款游戏的概念感到很开心。
在接受游戏网站的访谈时,Police说:“《暗黑血统》系列作表现非常好,尤其游玩技术的展现也非常棒。”,并且表示:“在第一与第二代的《暗黑血统》中透露了某些发展,很显然的我们不会想要让玩家们失望。”
他说:“所以我们真的很想再稍微观望一下,想想下一代的《暗黑血统》要采用哪些可能的切入角度,并且要找到适合的人一起开发。”
许多曾参与此系列作的开发者,现在都受雇于由以前Vigil公司的成员所组成的Crytek's USA工作室。Police表示:“他们仍然非常喜爱《暗黑血统》,虽然我不确定他们会不会公开表示,但他们的确是这样想的。我们正在和他们进行沟通,但我目前无法透露更多。”
很明显的,Vigil公司对于第三代《暗黑血统》的游戏玩法“从来没有一个完整的规划以及概念”。Police表示:“他们对于这一代游戏长得怎样,抱持一个非常开放的态度。”。四人合作模式也是“其中一个可能性”,虽然如此,Police认为“不应该单单只是新增四人游玩之类的东西,新一代的游戏同时还要拥有很棒的单人模式。许多《暗黑血统》的粉丝也都会想要独自游玩的体验。”
所以我们何时能够听到相关的消息呢?Police透露:“这绝对不会太久,就请玩家持续关注,看看我们即将发表的内容。《暗黑血统》也差不多该有未来发展了,而且将会是非常棒的。《暗黑血统》一直都是非常棒的作品,而且他会持续的保持这样的状态,这是定律。这就像是一个世间千古不变的道理,命中注定,《暗黑血统》只能非常棒,或者更棒。”
而提到另一个系列作,《赤色战线》的前景就不那么明朗,Nordic曾考虑过推出《赤色战线:游击战队》,这款在Xbox 360上被公认最棒的系列作品的续集。
Police含糊的表示:“我们也正进展到跟《暗黑血统》一样的阶段,但或许相比于《暗黑血统》还来的稍为落后一些。我不敢说他近期不会有动作,或许很快就会有消息了。”
“对《赤色战线》来说,这个系列作品历经了许多的变革。第一代和第二代重点在于目标破坏以及消灭特定对象,而《赤色战线:游击战队》及《赤色战线:最终决战》中,就只要搞破坏就好了,毁灭了什么对于游戏游玩来说并不是关键。我认为,应该想办法把这两种游玩角度做结合,并且置入《赤色战线》的续作。”
“另一个问题是因为现在市面上实在有太多射击游戏了。目前的市场非常拥挤,但我仍然相信《赤色战线》系列将会带来一番冲击。”
《赤色战线》系列的创作人 Volition 盼望续作将能由《镜之边缘》的开发商DICE来完成,虽然有些人认为这就像是太阳打西边出来一样不太可能,但这的确是一个值得考虑的方法。

Nordic Games acquired Imperium Galactica, Black Knight Sword, Sine Mora and more


Nordic Games Saves Intergalactic IPs and Acquires the Imperium Galactica and Other Franchises
The classic game IP imperium is on the brink of collapse, especially when it comes to preserving franchises which left their mark in video games history. In these dire times, a young and promising alliance from the distant planet of Scandinavia (solar system Europe) holds the future of many of said IPs, which are threatened by the fate of being lost and forgotten, and thus, proved themselves worthy of protection.
After some life-sustaining measures, said alliance, also known as Nordic Games Licensing with its base of operations Karlstad, Sweden, managed to acquire and preserve the following list of IPs:
• Bang Bang Racing (PC, XBL, PSN, Android)
• Black Knight Sword (XBL, PSN)
• Skydrift (PC, XBL, PSN)
• Sine Mora (PC, XBL, PSN, PSVita, iOS, Android)
• Imperium Galactica (PC)
• Imperium Galactica II (PC, iOS, Android)
• Liberty Wings (iOS)
• Ubrain (iOS)
• Scarabeus: Pearls of Nile iOS
The alliance places their trust in the brave warriors of the Nordic Games, in their colony of Vienna, Austria, to take control of the IPs and to handle the day-to-day business (sales and distribution, evaluation of sequels & new content etc.).

THQ Is Back. Nordic Games Rebranding as THQ Nordic
THQ再临 瑞典开发商Nordic更名为THQ Nordic
总部位于瑞典的Nordic Games宣布更名为THQ Nordic!这意味着破产数年之久的THQ以另一种形式复活了。
Nordic Games成立于2008年,当时他们在PS2和Wii平台上发行了数款小成本的游戏,在Wii上曾经发行过一款销量过百万的卡拉ok游戏《We Sing》。在2011年之后,该公司开始向多平台发行商转型。公司转型的契机来自于2013年,他们在这一年收购了THQ旗下的多款知名IP,包括在当时大热的《暗黑血统》。凭借这一行动,Nordic Games一炮而红,一夜之间就成为了媒体之间的焦点。除了IP之外,Nordic Games在2014年也获得了THQ的商标所有权。在这段时间里,Nordic Games也在扩张,截止到现在为止,该公司已经在凤凰城和慕尼黑拥有了两个工作室。
在经过考虑之后,Nordic Games决定重新利用THQ的商标,将自己更名为THQ Nordic。目前THQ Nordic正在开发23个游戏项目,其中13个将会在之后几个月内发表,这些作品的大多久都是之前THQ所持有的。同时,THQ Nordic将在今年的科隆游戏展期间参战。
虽然现在我们还不能确信THQ Nordic现在手上有什么牌,但是《暗黑血统》、《红色派系》这些经典IP应该会和我们见面,毕竟这些作品在当年也算是不晓得话题之作。今后THQ Nordic能够为我们带来怎样的游戏,让我们拭目以待吧!

Nordic Games Reincorporates to THQ Nordic
his is not your standard press release. Instead, we would like to make this corporate statement regarding our company Nordic Games reincorporating to THQ Nordic.
It all started out in Sweden in 2008 as a mini-venture to self-publish such illustrious titles like Dance Party Club Hits, Kart Racer and Truck Racer (just to name a few) on PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii. The following year, we landed We Sing, a million-plus selling karaoke franchise for Nintendo Wii. In 2011, with our first of many acquisitions to come, Nordic Games began its transformation from small scale, two-platform games publisher to a multi-platform, multi-genre global player.
One could say the most defining moment for our company happened in 2013, grabbing headlines like; “Who the [词语过滤-#] is Nordic Games?”, “Darksiders Gets Bought By…Nordic Games?”, and “Nordic Games explains who the f they are, plans for THQ assets”. Funny enough, back then, this was so true. Until that point, we had been a low profile publisher uttering expletives of our own along the way, and all of a sudden we found ourselves in the international gaming media spotlight. We knew then, with great certainty, that we’d just made the best deal in our company′s history.
Nordic Games By The Numbers
Since our formation in 2008, we proudly look back on 8 years of continuous growth on all (!) aspects of our business, not just the bottom-line. During that time, 16 individual IP and franchise acquisitions were concluded, resulting in a catalogue of more than 250 actively sold games, over 60 trademarks, hundreds of web domains and a few patents for hardware and software.
61 game development projects were initiated and have launched, and most importantly, we have created 82 jobs (if you include external development teams this number amounts to 325) and pride ourselves on our very, very, very low staff fluctuation, which basically amounts to zero.
Two development studios were setup – one located in Phoenix, Arizona (let’s hope Donald Trump reads this), the other one in Munich, Germany, and we have managed to grow our group wide team size from 2 in 2008 to 84 team members today.
Introducing THQ Nordic (the KISS part)
Whilst we take great pride in our Swedish roots and accomplished a great deal under the Nordic Games masthead, we decided it was time to incorporate the THQ name. Those key brands will continue to shape our business in a meaningful way going forward, and THQ Nordic represents a core approach of doing much more than “owning” a highly competitive portfolio of IP. We cherish them, and align them with the very best development resources to expand upon them with the level of experience that communities and established fan bases expect and deserve. Side note - another upside to this whole rebrand thing is we don’t get asked about the Nordic Game parties at Gamescom anymore – it was the other guys who threw them.
With this rebrand we are entering the next phase in our company’s evolution.
As of now we have 23 game projects in development, 13 thereof have not yet been publicly announced, but are sure to be in the next months. Needless to say, the majority of these projects are based on former THQ owned IPs and franchises.
As far as the logo design is concerned, Lars Wingefors, founder and owner of THQ Nordic (formerly known as Nordic Games) would like to say this:
“As for the new logo design, we literally stumbled across it when browsing some art files, after we bought the THQ trademark and figured: why not? We hope the reception from our partners is less ambivalent but we’re OK either way. We invite you to our Gamescom booth to play our games and see the logo in large-scale format.”
Please visit us in Cologne and stop by our booth to take a look at our current projects and also some of our upcoming games. If you’re not interested at all, you can still pop by to charge your mobile phones, hunt Pokémons, or just hang out and chat with us.

THQ Nordic now owns Delta Force, F-22 series and other Novalogic IPs

THQ Nordic Acquires All of NovaLogic's Franchises
Today, THQ Nordic announced that an asset purchase agreement with NovaLogic containing all games and/or projects owned by NovaLogic Inc has been closed. In essence, that means that they’re back at it again with the acquisition of partly forgotten, but classic game IPs and this time is all about first-person military themed game franchises like groundbreaking and genre defining Delta Force, Comanche or Joint Ops.
Novalogic’s games struck a strong chord with the market from the late 80s throughout the 00s, with its strong focus on military simulations like for example with the F-22 series, the Comanche series, and, last but not least, the Delta Force series.
“After 30 years of creating ground breaking Computer and Video Games we are proud to pass the baton to THQ Nordic. As individuals, they are enthusiastic gamers and as a company have shown the agility and acumen needed to propel our industry towards a much-needed reset”, comments John Garcia, owner, founder and CEO of NovaLogic Inc. “We are happy to see the franchises we created in such capable hands.”
“NovaLogic pioneered military simulations and military-themed multiplayer shooters with vehicular combat and also clearly targeted at an adult audience,” said Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director, THQ Nordic. “We are extremely satisfied with the new additions to our portfolio, and also very thrilled about how to continue some of said franchises, we are open for talks in this regard if any developer approaches us with a concept for a potential sequel to any IP.”
Here is an extract of the acquired franchises and brands:
• Delta Force Series
• Comanche Series
• Joint Operations Series
• Armored Fist Series
• Tachyon: The Fringe
• F-22 Series
• F-16 Series
• NovaLogic Trademark
• and more...

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.

• Extreme Arsenal – Wield a devastating arsenal of angelic, demonic and Earthly weapons; and blaze a trail of destruction atop Ruin, War’s fiery phantom steed

Baja: Edge of Control HD Launches September 14 for PS4, Xbox One and PC
越野竞速游戏《巴哈:控制边缘》推出新视频
自从三月公开之后,赛车游戏《巴哈:控制边缘》的PS4以及XBOX ONE版就销声匿迹了一段时间,终于在今天官方放出了本作的全新预告片。本次宣传片除了着重表现了重制版和原版之间的画面区别,同时也宣布了游戏将会在今年9月14日发售。
从视频里能看出来,开发商重制的工作量还是很大的,比如整体提升的材质,更高的帧数表现以及更好更有细节的环境,更高级的渲染技术,所有这些提升都让这个重制版在阴影、光照以及灰尘效果上更具有说服力。游戏的UI和操控也进行了一定程度的调整,从而能够让游戏对新玩家更友好。
《巴哈:控制边缘》是一款最早于2008年登录XBOX360以及PS3的越野赛车游戏,此番重制之后或许能有更多玩家有机会玩到这款作品。

Gothic Horror Game 'Black Mirror' Announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC
THQ恐怖新作《黑镜(Black Mirror)》公布 诡异城堡充满死亡气息
今日,THQ Nordic公布了旗下的一款恐怖游戏新作《黑镜(Black Mirror)》,由KING Art工作室开发,官方称游戏将拥有“哥特式”的经典恐怖风格。
不过当然,此“黑镜”只是与热门英剧《黑镜》名称相同,并没有任何联系,至于游戏讲述了怎样的故事,官方尚未公布太多内容,不过从首支预告中似乎能看出故事依旧发生在“黑镜城堡”。游戏将在2017年11月28日发售,登陆 PC/PS4/Xbox One 平台。
恐怖游戏《黑镜》系列已经出品过三款作品,分别于2004年、2009年和2011年发售,而官方表示,即便是不熟悉之前系列玩家可以毫无障碍享受这款游戏,因为最新的作品可以看作为系列的重启,它带来了一个完全独立的新故事,同时在画面表现上也更加出色。
此外,新的《黑镜》也保留了原系列的优秀元素,加强了探索性,方便让玩家更简单自由体验“黑镜”世界。所以在游戏中,经典的“点点点进行下一步”将会保留,但自由度却更强,游戏节奏会更惊险刺激。
目前《黑镜》游戏的官网也已正式上线,感兴趣的话不妨前去看看吧,

THQ Nordic announces new game: Black Mirror scheduled for release this November
THQ Nordic is thrilled to reveal its new project: Black Mirror, a Gothic horror adventure, due for release on 28th November 2017. The game will be developed by the Bremen studio KING Art Games, known for “The Book of Unwritten Tales”, “The Dwarves” and “The Raven”, and will be available on PC/Mac/Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.
Black Mirror - The Brand
The game name may already exist one way or another, and no, we’re not talking about the Netflix series. The first part of the creepy point-and-click series was released in 2004 as “The Black Mirror”, which produced two more spin-offs, “Black Mirror II” (2009) and “Black Mirror III” (2011).
But don’t worry, even players unfamiliar with the previous games in the series can also enjoy Black Mirror, because this reboot of the franchise tells a totally independent and new story. The major difference between the new and old Black Mirror, apart from the modern graphics of course, will be a new gameplay element: interaction with vision-like apparitions.
Gamescom 2017 and Website
A playable demo of Black Mirror will be ready for gamescom 2017 for both industry and public visitors to try out, and the THQ Nordic Stand (A011) is in the Entertainment Area in Hall 8. Please contact us below if you are media and would like to schedule an appointment and interview the development team during the show.
Those who can’t attend gamescom in Cologne, can at least visit our new website for a first impression of Black Mirror: blackmirror-game.com.
About Black Mirror
Like in the original graphic adventure trilogy, the Gothic Horror genre and its unique atmosphere of madness and psychological distress remains at the heart of Black Mirror.
The point-and-click gameplay of the original trilogy served as the basis for the re-imagined gameplay, which focuses on close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.
Key Features
• A modern re-imagining of the acclaimed gothic-horror adventure series
• Interactions with vision-like apparitions which help you learn more about the past of your family
• Eerie atmosphere focusing on the horrors of the mind, in the style of EA Poe and HP Lovecraft
• High quality voice acting from a compelling ensemble cast

Black Mirror Gameplay Trailer
After announcing Black Mirror during gamescom this year, the gothic horror adventure by KING Art Games, will be released on November 28, 2017 for PC/Mac/Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.
About Black Mirror
Like in the original graphic adventure trilogy, the Gothic Horror genre and its unique atmosphere of madness and psychological distress remains at the heart of Black Mirror.
The point-and-click gameplay of the original trilogy served as the basis for the re-imagined gameplay, which focuses on close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.
Story
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
Edgar Allan Poe
David Gordon never knew his estranged father particularly well. Still it comes as a shock when he is summoned to his family's ancestral home in the Scottish highlands, after his father has taken his own life there. David does not know much about his father's final weeks, but the circumstances of his death seem more than peculiar. Settling the heritage is merely an excuse for David to find out more about the castle his father grew up in, meeting the family he never knew and for shedding light on the mysteries surrounding his father's death.
Tormented by nightmares and waking dreams for all his life, he fears that it might be his destiny to follow in his father's footsteps, down a path that leads to madness and death.
Is there really a curse that has been haunting his family for generations as his father believed? Or are the mysteries hidden inside the cold walls of Black Mirror house of a far more wordly nature?
It is up to David to uncover the horrible truths, buried under generations of silence and fathoms of stone.
Key Features
• A modern re-imagining of the acclaimed gothic-horror adventure series
• Interactions with vision-like apparitions which help you learn more about the past of your family
• Eerie atmosphere focusing on the horrors of the mind, in the style of EA Poe and HP Lovecraft
• High quality voice acting from a compelling ensemble cast

A new set of screenshots from THQ Nordic and Experiment 101’s “post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG” Biomutant have surfaced online courtesy of PC Gamer.
Here’s an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Biomutant is an open-world, post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG, with a unique martial arts styled combat system allowing you to mix melee, shooting and mutant ability action.
Key Features
A New Take on Third-Person Combat – The martial arts style combat system allows you maximum freedom of movement and agility while mixing shooting, melee and powers from your mutations. Learning new Wushu combat forms through progression and learning from masters you’ll meet, will constantly add to your choices and make sure combat never gets old.
Evolve Your Gameplay – You’ll be able to re-code your genetic structure to change the way you look and play. This will of course affect your attributes and in addition to this, exposure to bio-contamination in the world will lead to physical mutations like mantis-claws and barbed tails, while exposure to radioactivity found in bunkers from the old world will affect your mind and unlock psi-mutations like telekinesis, levitation and more.
Next Level of Crafting – You are totally free when crafting weapons. Mix and match parts to create your own unique 1H or 2H slash, crush and pierce melee weapons. Revolvers, rifles and shotguns and add modifications like cork-screws and battery-powered chainsaw modules to bio-contaminated sludge vials adding to your combat arsenal. There are even characters you’ll meet that’ll craft cool stuff for you, like bionic wings, a jump-pack and even let you modify your Automaton – the scrap-toy sidekick!
Gear Up for Adventure – You are totally free when equipping your character. Not only when it comes to choosing weapons you created, but what type of gear you wear. Equip a gas-mask and an oxygen tank for exploring the Dead Zones, thermos-resistant clothes for venturing into cryonic areas or protective gear for taking on bio-contaminated creatures, the choice is up to you.
Survive in a Vibrant Open World – You are free to explore the world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon or area unique mounts. Explore the dying wildland, the tunnels and bunker networks of the underworld, and find your way up the mountains or out in the archipelago. There are lots of discoveries to be made, mysteries to unravel, creatures to confront and weird characters to meet in this vibrant and colorful world.
An Unusual Story with an Unusual End – Your actions play a major part in the unfolding of a story where End is coming to the New World. A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down… You are guided through the world by a Storyteller that narrates every step of your journey, but it’s your actions and choices that’ll decide how your story of survival ends.
Biomutant is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2018.

THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games survival game Fade to Silence launches via Steam Early Access on December 14
The new title announcement from THQ Nordic first teased yesterday is Fade to Silence, a survival game developed by Giana Sisters studio Black Forest Games launching for PC via Steam Early Access on December 14. The announcement, which was planned for tonight’s The Game Awards 2017, leaked early via the its Steam page.
Here’s the full overview of the game:
■ Early Access FAQ
Why Early Access?
“We believe nothing is a more personal game-experience than a survival game. Our goal is to develop something that drags you deep into the cold and deadly world of an apocalyptic winter. Therefore, for us this game will only be perfect if we can get feedback from the community. Early Access is designed for that.
Communication between you as the player and us the developer is key. With your help we can create an outstanding game. A game that you helped to shape.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“The plan in place aims for 8 months of Early Access and a final release in August 2018.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“We are planning to regularly update the game content throughout Early Access, as well as features we believe will make the game even more enjoyable and richer.
In order to achieve this, and to get as much as we can from the Early Access participation, we will be hard at work listening to YOU, sifting through the feedback (and being awesomely surprised at your creativity to inspire us) and implementing these throughout this phase.
The full version will feature a larger game world with more areas to explore, more followers, conscious choices, and an unique story driving the game.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“At this stage of development we are going out with all the base game features in place:
- Construct, upgrade and defend your refuge
- Rescue and recruit followers
- Coordinate your followers for resource management
- Combat a variety of eldritch monstrosities
- Go out on expeditions with your followers on your wolf sled
- Explore the initial release of the game world, roughly 10 km2 area, under dynamic snowfall and time of day
- All the while trying to survive the deadly blizzards in this post-apocalyptic world.
We are also introducing the first beats of the story: What is the haunting voice that keeps pestering, misleading, mocking us? Where does the corruption come from, and why?
Can we even do anything about it?”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“The Early Access version’s price is below the final release price. We want to recognize that you help us developing this game to its full glory and trusting us at an early stage.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We are planning to make use of the Steam forums. Further communication channels will be on BFG’s and the game’s social channels. Furthermore, we’ll do regular live-shows from our studio where everyone can chat with developers or ask questions. Monthly Vlogs, regular broadcasts and surveys about specific topics are also part of our communication strategy.”
■ Game Description
About
As the player you take the role of Ash, a natural but tormented leader. In that role you explore a post-apocalyptic, frozen wasteland to gather the resources necessary to establish a refuge for survival. With dwindling resources, simple tasks like upgrading equipment and collecting materials quickly require an expedition to scavenge the necessary items. In the search for survival materials, players must navigate a vast territory, in which they will encounter Eldritch monsters and an even greater foe: the unrelenting winter. While freezing temperatures constantly take their toll on the player Ash, the deadliest event is that of a blizzard. If caught by surprise, it takes every ounce of skill, determination and luck to survive.
In order to survive and overcome all challenges, the player needs to attract followers, bringing them into thei refuge. Each individual skillset and character traits grants access to higher tier resources and gear. Without such advances, the player character can scavenge only the barest necessities, crafting makeshift tools and weapons.
“You’re glad to have found wood; for once, you’ll have a roaring fire in the camp. As your sled wolves race home, you pay no attention to the strange lights in the forest. You’ve done enough for today. The wind suddenly picks up – a blizzard is moving in fast. The voice in your head dares you to keep going,”Come on! You have plenty of time to make it back.” You doubt it, but stopping now means you need to build a shelter—out of that precious wood. The snow begins to fall; you have only a moment to decide. Should you risk it and keep going, or do you play it safe but lose your firewood?”
Fade to Silence introduces the many dynamics of a harsh winter climate to a complex, character-driven, group survival experience. The dynamic weather system adds to the immersion of survival in a cold, corrupted world. Survival depends on how well the players read weather patterns, and if they come to the right conclusion – look for shelter or press home. The dynamic snow displacement leaves a realistic path by both player character and NPC. This telltale sign will tell you regions where it is good to hunt and regions where monsters are roaming.
“You’re out hunting. The barren, snow-filled landscape is endless and unrelenting. A Ripper comes out of nowhere, and you fight it off, narrowly dodging its gigantic claws. Then you see it: a distant fire. Another person? Impossible. But there’s a strange noise—a voice? Wild hope sears your heart; you won’t be alone anymore. The voice in your head steps in, discouraging you from investigating. “Anyone living must have done terrible things to survive”, it says. You quiet the voice, defying it this time, and move in closer. Another person could help you rebuild, gather food, harvest deer. You see someone—yes! Someone else is out here. Then, you hear a scream. But you hesitate. How can you trust them? Another scream, desperate. There’s only one way to find out.”
Key Features
- Explore a vast winter landscape: The launch version lets you explore a river delta, a dense forest region and cultivated farmland of an 8km2 area.
- Wolf Sled Expeditions: Pack your sled, take a follower with you and engage in long term expeditions into the farthest regions.
- Fight System: Tiered weapon system, melee and ranged combat.
- Moral choices: Save and recruit various NPCs to join your group. Harsh choices have to be made; who do you take, who do you leave behind.
- Battle increasingly dangerous Eldritch creatures that roam an apocalyptic world.
- Trust your inner voice. It is your friend.

THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games Announce Survival Game Fade to Silence
THQ 新作《归于沉寂》正式公布
转载 - 游明星空(http://www.gamersky.com/news/201712/988285.shtml)
THQ Nordic 今日在年度游戏奖项「游戏大奖(The Game Awards)」颁奖典礼上,公布了新作《归于沉寂》的预告片。
THQ早先暗示会推出一款“无尽寒冬”主题的新作,目前Steam已经上线了这款游戏,名为《归于沉寂》,2017年12月14就会开启抢先体验,游戏支持简体中文。
玩家将要操控角色“艾什”——一名天生的领导者,但饱受生存环境的严酷折磨。在游戏中,玩家要操控角色探索后启示录世界中的冰封废土,搜寻并收集建立庇护所的必需资源。随着资源的逐渐耗尽,玩家很快就不得不前往远方来搜集必要的物品,然后才能完成升级装备或收集材料之类的简单任务。在寻找资源的过程中,玩家必须穿过一片广阔的领域。期间,他们可能会碰到可怕的怪兽,或是更恐怖的敌人:严冬。低温严寒无时无刻不在折磨着艾什,但最为致命的情况当属暴风雪来袭。如果在毫无准备的情况下遭遇暴风雪,玩家必须竭尽全力、绞尽脑汁再撞上些好运气,才能最终生还。
为了克服这重重困难并成功存活到最后,玩家需要吸引追随者们,带他们一起建立庇护所。每个人的技能和角色天赋都让玩家能够获得更高等级的资源和装备。反之,玩家操控的角色就只能获得最简单的材料,造出粗制滥造的工具和武器。
“恭喜你找到木头;你的营地将升起熊熊营火(仅此一次)。当你乘坐狼拉雪橇回营地时,你没有注意到森林中奇异的光线。你今天干得活儿够多了。
突然间,周围刮起了大风——暴风雪将至。脑中有一个声音不断催促你前进:‘快走!你有足够的时间回去。’你有些怀疑,但在此停下就意味着你需要用珍贵的木料在此处建立一个庇护所。雪已经开始下了,留给你做出选择的时间不多了。你是冒险前进,还是谨慎行事、放弃寻找柴火?”
《归于沉寂》引进了动态的严冬天气系统,为玩家带来复杂多变、角色推动的集体生存体验。动态天气系统让这个寒冷而堕落的世界能给人带来更加沉浸式的生存体验。角色能否成功存活取决于玩家能否正确解读天气转变模式,以及是否能做出正确的决策——寻找庇护所或坚持前进。而动态雪花贴图也能让玩家或NPC在世界中留下真实的脚印。而这些脚印会成为你判断的线索——此处适合狩猎或此处有猛兽出没。
“你外出狩猎。这片荒芜的雪景茫茫无边无际。一只撕裂者突然出现。你与它战成一团,它巨大的兽爪从你身旁呼啸而过。
随后,你发现:远处有火光。有其他人?不可能。但那边发出了奇怪的声音——有人在说话?一股狂喜涌上心头;你不会再是一个人了!但脑中的声音再次响起,阻止你前去查看。它说:‘能够活下来的人一定使用了卑鄙手段’。但这次,你没有听它的话。你挥散了脑中的声音,靠近查看。如果有另一个人类,他能够帮助你重建家园、收集食物、狩猎鹿群。你看到了一个人——是的!真的有人!你听到了一声尖叫。但你犹豫了起来。你该不该信任他?又一声绝望的尖叫响起。只有一种方法能帮你获得最终的答案。”
特色:
探索广阔的冰雪世界:在本次发布的游戏中,你可以探索总计8平方公里的广阔区域,其中有三角洲、茂密林区和农田。
狼拉雪橇探险:装配好雪橇,带上追随者们,踏上前往遥远地区的征途。
战斗系统:等级制武器系统、近距离及远程作战。
道德选择:拯救各种NPC,并将其招募进自己的队伍。但有时你必须做出冷酷的选择:你该接纳谁,又该抛弃谁?。
与灾后大陆上的可怕生物决一死战——它们会随着冒险而变得愈发危险
相信你内心的声音——它是你的伙伴

About Rad Rodgers
Rad is a rambunctious but spirited young boy who maybe plays too many video games. After dozing off at the tail end of a long night of gaming, Rad awakens to find his dusty old console has turned itself back on. Suddenly a vortex emerges and he's [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ed into his TV, where he finds himself the star in his very own video game adventure.
Dusty is Rad's good-hearted but foul-mouthed, now-sentient game console. His clock speed isn't what it used to be, but what he lacks for in megahertz he makes up for with experience and attitude!
Rad & Dusty's adventure begins in the First World, taking them through seven dangerous stages of action-packed, humor-filled, hardcore platforming fun. This decaying jungle world has been infected by a fierce corruption, and it's up to the unlikely buddy-duo Rad and Dusty to save the jungle's inhabitants and restore the Elder Tree as guardian of the land.
Key Features
• Weapons: Dusty arms Rad with a variety of radical bad-ass weaponry. The Bolt Blaster has unlimited ammo, is easy to use, and more than enough firepower to get the job done. The Phoenix Cannon shoots out a fiery bird whose wingspan lights enemies ablaze as it flies by. There are 5+ weapons in this first chapter, with more to come.
• Sounds & Music: Our composer Andrew Hulshult combined his years of musical experience (both performing and writing) with his passion for retro-style gaming to create an amazing and authentic soundtrack for the game complete with MIDI-inspired music... And synthesizers!
• The Pixelverse: While Rad and Dusty are a great team, only Dusty can enter the electrified Pixelverse - a dangerous spacetime-breaking region that exists behind the game world. Dusty enters the Pixelverse when necessary to repair glitches in the running game world, allowing both Rad & Dusty to continue their journey.
• Classic Easter Eggs: The game features hard-to-find collectibles in sometimes even harder-to-find classic secret rooms. Use your precision platforming skills to collect 'em all.

THQ Nordic acquires Deep Silver parent Koch Media
THQ斥资九亿收购深银 《黑道圣徒》《地铁》IP回归
THQ Nordic近日宣布,全资收购德国发行商Koch Media,虽然Koch Media自己发行的游戏不多,但旗下为人熟知的发行商就是深银(Deep Silver),因为是全资收购,所以包括《黑道圣徒》、《死亡岛》、《地铁》等游戏版权都归THQ Nordic所有,“复活”后的THQ真有钱!
据悉,THQ Nordic将以1.21亿欧元,约合9.471638亿元的现金,以及约合9150万欧元的债券全资收购Koch Media。THQ Nordic将支付6600万欧元,约合6580万瑞典克朗的首付资金,之后以分期付款方式纳入Koch Media,交易将通过瑞典的卡尔斯塔德中介银行完成,所以会出现瑞典克朗货币。
交易大约会在2018年5月完成,届时THQ Nordic、Koch Media将保持各自的商标权。
THQ Nordic表示,《黑道圣徒》开发商Volition会在他们的协助下完成全新未公布的3A级游戏,《国土防线:革命》开发商Dambuster同样会在他们的协助下完成全新未公布的3A级游戏,以及4A Games的《地铁》新作,另外THQ Nordic还有一款未公布的3A级新作。
虽然Koch Media、深银继续保持独立性,但各自的IP、资产、资源将作为THQ Nordic集团的共享资源。
值得一提的是,THQ Nordic共有24个未公布新作正在开发,加上Koch Media的9个,全新的THQ Nordic共有33个未公布新作正在开发
THQ Nordic原名为Nordic Games,2014年收购了THQ商标以及旗下大部分游戏版权与资源,因为觉得THQ商标名称更响亮,所以才改成THQ Nordic并把THQ放到他们公司名称Nordic的前面。
Nordic Games除了收购THQ外,之前还收购了德国开发商BitComposer,包括《铁血联盟》、《装甲战略HD》游戏版权,其中《铁血联盟》将开发新作。

THQ Nordic has acquired Koch Media, owner of Metro and Saints Row publisher Deep Silver, for Eur 121 million, the company announced.
Here is an overview of Koch Media as a company, via the press release:
Koch Media is a leading, independent producer and marketer of digital entertainment products in Europe and North America with studios in Germany, the UK, and the US, and offices in several Central and Northern European cities. Koch Media’s business consists of three business areas; 1) Games, which are mainly published under the Deep Silver label with several AAA-intellectual property rights such as Saints Row, Dead Island and Metro; 2) Partner Publishing, which is the leading company in this business area in Europe and 3) Film, which is a business within movies for primarily the German and Italian speaking territories. Koch Media generated net sales of approximately SEK 2,548 million and Adjusted EBIT of approximately SEK 296 million for the period April – December 2017.
“Koch Media has a long history of profitability despite losses incurred from some less successful game releases,” THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors said in the press release. “THQ Nordic is convinced that the development studios of Deep Silver as part of THQ Nordic will successfully deliver at least four ongoing AAA game projects including Metro Exodus as well as the next Volition Studio AAA release and the next Dambuster Studio AAA release, together with a number of other game development and publishing titles.”
Koch Media CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz added, “I strongly believe that THQ Nordic is a great strategic fit with Koch Media. In addition to having long experience within games development and publishing, THQ Nordic has the skills, willingness and capital to deliver growth in the future.”
