Today with an interview with IGN, Brian Farrell, CEO of THQ, stated that the company is planning on doing some major internally.
Since they do kiddie games so well, Farrell says, people usually associate the company with just that. From here on out, things are going to change.
“One of the things I think is a little misunderstood — and this is one of the things that we need to get out in front of a little bit — is that EA, Activision, Ubi, and Take 2 all do kids games and because we’ve done them so well, sometimes people associate us more with that,” he said. “But if you look at some of the things we’ve delivered to core gamers, I think the core gamers are actually really figuring it out now. Even some of the consumer feedback we’ve gotten on a game like Darksiders — it’s awesome. And then think about what we have coming in front of us. Homefront. The next Red Faction. The Warhammer 40K MMO. Saints Row 3. People can say what they want, but we’ve got a pipeline that I think those guys would be envious of — and we’re doing it internally.”
Looks like there are some big things going on over at THQ. At the same time, he mention support for Natal, both the next Red Faction and Saints Row 3 will be at E3.
Translation: Tell the other publishers, shit just got real.
