has this ever happened before?
Trading IPs
Justin Ortiz
Thomas Rogers
Yeah game companies trade IPs for currency all the time
Cameron Jones
>Second Sight and Risen
looks like THQ got the better end of the deal
Ryder Cruz
Cock Media
Jacob Harris
>Singles: Flirt Up Your Life
>for Painkiller and Red Faction
THQ is full of retards now, isn't it
Jayden Thomas
>Sacred and Second sight
fucking sick
>For red faction
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Benjamin Hall
does it mean we will get a new singles game ?
David Young
This is really weird, but it's great to see Second Sight back on the table.
With Timesplitters cropping up again, I have vague hopes of seeing a Free Radical renaissance.
Henry Butler
But Koch itself isn't a studio, are they? Who are they going to hand those titles to? that's REALLY important.
Eli Russell
>Singles: Flirt Up Your Life
THQ chads fucking won
Christian Smith
this is just an internal restructuring
both THQ Nordic and Koch Media belong to the same group (Embracer)
Chase Rogers
Interested to see what THQ does with risen and sacred.
Dylan Murphy
>there will never be another red faction game again
Asher Johnson
I didn't know Koch actually owned any IP. Aren't they just publishers?
Mason Roberts
>giving painkiller away
these retards
what a flying fuck
Jack Garcia
>uses pokemon and gameboy as props
>doesn't make games for nintendo
???
Nathaniel Turner
>now THQ has both Gothic and Risen
Noah Price
>uh? IP is evolving
>*tututuuu tutututututu
>you IP evolved to AAA shit!
Anthony Powell
Painkiller without People Can Fly wouldn't be worth a damn anyway.
Jacob Hill
>Second Sight
nice
>losing Red Faction
not nice
Connor Ramirez
They make more money off the publicity of something wild like an IP trade than they were ever going to make off those franchises themselves
Josiah Jackson
This is literally just Deep Silver and THQN swapping IPs. DS are doing TimeSplitters. Now THQN is handling Second Sight. Red Faction Evolution has moved over to DS. Most likely it has become a bigger budget affair and thus is better suited to DS.
Camden Butler
Well that takes some of the magic out of it
Lincoln James
Koch publish some multiplats in europe, like Disgaea and SNK heroines
Noah Walker
Test
Dominic Sullivan
Koch are just a parent of Deep Silver. They're interchangeable.
Metro, Saints Row, Homefront, Dead Island, TimeSplitters, Kingdom Come, etc are Koch/DS.
Ethan Cooper
THQ Nordic has Piranha Bytes under their wings now so I guess that explains Risen. Although Piranha Bytes will be working on more Elex for the foreseeable future I guess so I guess it won‘t be immediately relevant.
Robert Green
Painkiller and Red Faction are effectively dead franchises and shooters are an oversaturated market while sim games are on the rise again thanks to AC. It's not a bad trade since it's clear Nordic has no idea what to do with Painkiller and RF anymore.
Nicholas Gomez
Painkiller WITH People Can Fly wasn't worth a damn anyways.
Kayden Garcia
Why are people mad?
Is one of the companies in question bad and they'd do awful job with the IPs or what?
Isaac Jenkins
CEOs played poker with their properties.
Gabriel Reyes
The deal was worth just for having the rights to Risen and PB on board, the other shit is just a plus.
Maybe they'll perform a "Coming back to the roots" with Sacred
Easton Gray
None of those games or companies are AAA though
