The level of hatred this title has accrued is practically viscous

I... don't think you can use that word like that...

[UHMEEEEBA]

You ever heard the phase so the tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife? That's probably what Heat meant.

Either that or he typed vicious incorrectly.

Goodbye, THQ.

It's worth noting that all of these sales are pending approval from U.S. bankruptcy court and nothing is finalized yet. A hearing is currently underway in Delaware.

SEGA has agreed to purchase Relic, developer of Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.
Koch Media (owner of Dead Island publisher Deep Silver) has agreed to purchase Saints Row developer Volition as well as the publishing rights to the Metro franchise.
Crytek, who is currently developing Homefront 2, has purchased the rights to the Homefront franchise.
Take-Two (parent company of 2K and Rockstar) has agreed to purchase Turtle Rock Studios' project codenamed Evolve. (Update: While Take Two was initially rumored to have acquired Darksiders publisher Vigil, it has since been revealed that this isn't the case) [In addition, they will acquire the WWE license.]
Ubisoft has purchased the rights to publish South Park: The Stick of Truth (pending any further objections from South Park Studios) as well as THQ Montreal, the current developer of Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Desilets' project codenamed 1666.

#PlayStation2013

599 US DOLLARS

What changes could they possibly make that'd be big enough for a new console? Not trying to be pessimistic— just realistic. Honestly, I think the current generation should be the last. They kinda lost their killer app since Rockstar went multi-platform with GTA, Metal Gear Solid should be over (soon), and they haven't done shit with Parappa other than add him to PlayStation All-Stars which means absolute jack shit if you look at every crossover fighting game/brawler ever.

MAYBE if they bring back Parappa with some sort of rap name to compete and set it apart from the Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, and Rock Band crap, that could be it. I'd be interested regardless, but I still need to put my own tastes aside and try to think of the casual public. Of course, they have inFamous and Uncharted, but I'm unsure just how popular those games really are.
