It would appear that video game retailers wiping the PlayStation 3 version of Kaos Studios' shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War from their databases wasn't done just for giggles. It would appear that GameStop called both guys who pre-ordered the game for a reason. THQ officially canceled the PS3 edition of the game today, previously thought to just be delayed, using the same axe to kill the release of the PlayStation 2 version of Destroy All Humans!: Big Willy Unleashed. Don't go jumping off any buildings, now, kids, despite how hard it may seem to put this terrible, terrible news behind us.
There's always Haze! Oh wait...

I think I can live without it. Although...I wouldn't buy it for my 360 either. Or PC. Or anything really. Ever.
didn't look good to me anyways wasn't even gonna get it for my 360
And right above said article as well. Something tells me you get a kick out of this, McWhertor.
I played the Demo.....lets just say PS3 owners should not feel left out.
I suspect PS3 owners aren't going to weep much over this one.
@Moonshadow101: yes, as an official ps3 owner i can verify that.
Best news all day. Frees up some shelf space.
Wasn't Destroy All Humans like THQ's big release this year?
Another win for the 360
Son of a. I was gonna buy destroy all humans 2. But frontline. Meh.
Well, thats why you own both systems. No disappointments.
@DigitalHero: or all 3 systems >.> *sneaks off*
To bad this game sucks.
@TuSoKa67: another win for the 360? the demo for that game was so terrible, its more like, another punishment for the 360 :)
@Pieman2: Of also forgot to say that i have both systems as well so yeah. No skin of my back.
@Moonshadow101:
It's like hearing Lair was cancelled. No tears here, lol.
Wait...That's evil.
You hide the cancellation of the game we care about, DAH, behind the cancellation of a game nobody gives a crap about.
I want Destroy all Humans on the Ps2. There's no reason not to have it.
One less bad game for me to waste my money on..
meh, I didnt even download it for my 360 (demo I mean)
no effect on me. So that makes what? 9 people who pre-ordered it worldwide? xD
@Pieman2: Second that.
@White-Sharingan: 10 people
Is it bad that I've never even heard of this game?
As a PS3 owner I would have to say " Front-What??? Never heard of it...."
@ConfuciusMax: i played the demo on my friends 360 and it is really that bad, the targeting system is TOTAL J-U-N-K, it probably would have been easier to club people to death with my shoe! than have to use that to shoot at anything
I don't think many people are going to care.
@ConfuciusMax:
I never heard of it either which translates to me not caring about this news.
Who cares,who wants to play battlefield...2042 anyway.BF 2142 was boring and the sci fi setting just didn't work for the fans as they showed with they're wallets.So imho i don't see what would make them think that another futuristic bfesque game is what we want.Especially in the AAA shooter loaded year we have this year.Of course i might just be biased being in the beta and having the knowledge of just how average it is :)
I will be shedding tears for this loss.
Wait...what game is this again?
Yeah, I'm not to heartbroken over this news.
What is this game even about and reading some comments here, I see the demo was really bad.
I really like the backstory for the game. It's pretty cool actually and the demo wasn't terrible to be honest. I'm gonna give it a rent when I get the time. It was much better than the Dark Messiah of Might & Magic demo, I thought that was terrible but it had some promise so I'll give it a rent later too. Today seems to be delay day though, seriously, delay week actually since in the last week we've had this, Haze, Brawl, and Battlefield Bad Company all delayed in the past week. Something else too but I can't remember right now.
@crazyscreenwriter:
Don't worry the PSP version wasn't canned yet, so theres still hope. Plus, theres still a Wii version too!
All joking aside, I think the PlayStation 3 will have a better year for having been "neglected" this game.
The PC version seems horrible from trying it, had no plans to purchase.
Erm, never heard of it. Should I feel bad?
I'm pretty much alone on this, but I enjoyed the demo :P
@SlowDeath420: I happen to like bf2142 and for those playing BF2 and giving it a chance they usually like the way it has been changed, and the classes and balancing is very tight. Also the furturistic element isn't cartoony like Quakewars or UT, it is one of those rare multiplayer games that actually respects me as an adult. There's no spaceships or laser guns here ad no macho voice taunts. The walker feels much more realistic than the one in quakewars and is more useful (in my opinion)
It's probably my favorite online game among all those I play, including:
UT3
TF2
Quakewars
BF2
Warhawk
Resistance
UT2k4
@bobbus-maximus: damn, this game is going to be more epic than I thought ;_;
I'll probably pick this one up on PC anyway--what I've played was a hell of a lot better than some other titles (Battlefield, I'm looking at you) and Frank Delise made Desert Combat, the greatest mod post-counterstrike ever created.
@Ehardergardens: Lots did dude,no offense.Just a cold hard fact,Every BF game was a monster seller except 2142.And just to be clear it did sell well compared to other shooters of said time period but didn't even scratch BF2's total sales.
Too bad the 360 demo was god awful. Was I going to taint my PS3 with this? HELL NO! ( We had a party at work breaking the demo discs :D )
How many wargames are out and coming out (not in the "don't ask don't tell sense," hint hint) again? Jesus, the saturation's making me wanna go hippie and just shell out for a copy of Harvest Moon.
@SlowDeath420: I think to most(My self included at th beginning) it just seemed like a glorified TC of BF2, and no one was that compelled to see it as anything better.
@White-Sharingan: sorry i have a strong dislike for shitty games. (im lookin at you lair) honestly though it was bad, and i stand by all i said about my shoe :)
@TuSoKa67: sort of...
oh well, when i finally have the cash to pick up a PS3, i will have a few other games i need to catch up on to see what all the hype on them is about
No real loss, the X360 demo was shite.
Oh no, they can't buy a bf2 clone.
The pc beta is pretty damn good. has the potential to do very well. The remote control helo/bombs are way too much fun. Nothing like hiding in a good spot and flying an RC copter around the map landing near unsuspecting players and BLAMMO!
I guess everyone forgets these are the guys who made the Desert Combat mode for BattleField 1942. They're pretty talented.
Luckily the 360 demo was pretty much crap. I wouldnt buy it either way.
@WatershipDown: they are talented but the demo was shiz, granted it could change, but as a ps3 owner and past 360 owner i have to say that i wouldnt buy it based on the demo, and its utter crappiness
Perhaps THQ realized this game is a bust and wanted to cut down on the ballooning dev costs knowing this game will just not sell very well even on 360 which caters to these types of games more.
