THQ Shuttering 5 Houses

[modeps]

Looks like some more folks won't have a happy holiday. I'll let Shack (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55703)'s summary take care of the remarks.

Shacknews has confirmed, via sources, that Stuntman: Ignition and Pilotwings 64 developer Paradigm Entertainment was indeed dissolved by THQ today.

Fellow THQ subsidiary Mass Media was also closed today, according to Shacker PowerLlama. As for Juice Games, Develop claims the studio will lose about a third of its staff, but will remain open.

In addition, Helixe, Locomotive Games and Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon developer Sandblast Games appear to have joined Mass Media and Paradigm in closure, as THQ no longer shows them on its studio list, which now numbers 11.

I don't care what anyone says, Stuntman: Ignition was a fun game!

Stuntman: Ignition was the most fun I've had with a driving game in years.

I can see where people who like driving games in general may not care for it, because it's really nothing like other driving games. But it was everything I was looking for and gobs of fun.

Damn right!

I actually still having finished it. I think I'm on the fourth movie right now, have to get back to it, now that I got my 360 back.

But I've "Strung" it in almost every scene up till now.

My youngest son totally agrees with you. I find the game tedious, but he loves it to death.

I'm just glad Vigil games is still in there. Not that we have much info on the 40k MMO, but the fact it exists in some way make me happy.

Wondered why Path of Furon had disappeared off all the coming soon lists.

Shuttering studios and THQ's stock goes up by 3%.

NO, Stuntman Ignition was an AWFUL game that insulted the player and was ridiculously difficult. Let them burn.
