I hope that Big Huge Games have their own QA staff to check their games. If it gets to THQ's QA department it will be full of bugs. Most of the people there test World of Warcraft instead of games.

Now maybe we'll see a patch for Catan that fixes the multiplayer?

Great post, great news for BHG, great news for THQ. What could possibly go wrong?

While I did not care at all for the actual game, I saw lots of wonderful creative art designs put into Rise of Nations and I hope the devs continue to make such interesting pieces.

@Raziel3333: Demolition man is great :)

As for the story, is this a good thing? I have been out of tuch on how THQ deals with their prey.

@Pezdispenser:

Exactly. Between DoW and RoL, there's going to be some serious RTS publishing coming out of THQ. And considering I loved both of those games, I can't wait.

I don't mind this. I like Big Huge a lot and hopefully this will help them be a bit more prolific, if they keep the team intact.

THQ seems to be a pretty good publisher with respect to letting devs actually finish their games, so I was actually sort of happy to see this. THQ has put out what I believe to be the 2 best strategy games in recent memory, Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander, so another strategy dev added to the picture is probably not a bad thing,

I guess us nerds are the only ones who liked that movie. A little surprising for a Sylvester Stallone movie.

Had they tried to take the movie seriously, maybe it wouldn't have been good. Considering it was purposely funny, though, it was a good movie.

@ceilingFANBOY: sponsor me for PolarBearPlunge, link in prof...: My favorite part in Demolition Man is when Wesley Snipes enters the hall of firearms and slams the guys head against the wall.

Not surprising, considering THQ is publishing Big Huge's next project, that RPG from the head designer of Morrowind and Oblivion. Also, outside of Relic, THQ doesn't have a lot of 'core' game development studios, so this fills a space in their lineup.

So will there be any indie studios left by the end of 2008?

It's like a black hole. Eventually it'll be two major publishers whose sheer size will force each other to collapse. Then rinse and repeat.
