Ubisoft to buy THQ assets?

...and then they joined Valve and we never needed another game developer again.

I bet ubisoft is deeply interested in buying THQ Montreal studio...Because it holds the trump card : Patrice Désilets..If this happens well Patrice Ubisoft is your destiny then :)

Ubisoft buying THQ doesn't mean games will ship full of bugs, just like Disney acquiring Marvel doesn't mean we'll see Mickey Mouse in a Spiderman movie.

It's almost a certainty that they would keep the current studios and developers instead of going through a costly redesign and hiring new people.

That being said, new games coming from THQ will still have the same quality regardless of what company buys it, as long as it's interested in funding the development of those games.

Ubisoft has turned everything into crap last couple years. So  i guess thats company of heroes 2 down the pooper now.

What!?!? Microsoft hasn't bought them yet? What are they waiting for? They could buy Ubisoft and TH-Q, that way both companies would be happy together. lol!!

as long as warhammer ends up in a good home im happy

If this means COH2 getting any kind of DRM other then Steam it will mean me canceling my pre-order. I am actualy suprised to the many positive reactions to this. I am a gamer and I like many different games. What I don't like is having to start Origin for Battlefield. Uplay for Farcry, Stardock for Fallen Enchantress and so on.

The way I see it the best that could happen is that simple investors pump money into THQ to give it a heavy balance and nothing else changes.

that would be a catastrophe.

I'll be happy if Ubisoft buys THQ, that way I can still play the awesome titles scheduled for 2013 and hopefully Ubisoft will save some titles!

i would love to see what Ubisoft can do with Saints Row and Company of Heros

THQ > Ubisoft!!!

There will probably never be a correlation with the two games...but having an Assassin's' Creed free running system in a Saint's Row game would be TIGHT!!!

I suppose this is better than the alternatives.

So its not bad for ubi soft ?

They said this deal has no interruptions in progress of development. Let just hope that.... CoH and Metro will be release on schedule....

To be fair, i'm more interested as to how Warhammer 40,000 video games will look without Relic.

Patrice Désilets father Assassins Creed franchise returns to ubi. Beneficial for Assassins Creed franchise. Patrice Désilets is brilliant.

bring on south park thats all i care about from THQ

better than EA, activation. blizzard and Microsoft  

Hope they support and continue Darksiders games

Hope they take it over and continue with Darksiders games.

great so now I'll get more DRM and "online passes" lol. Hopefully they'll keep the studios they buy intact so someone at Ubisoft can put out a decent PC version of a game.

now on every THQ games will have hunting and collecting flowers...

Yeah ubisoft is a great dev , one of the remaining few who keep on pushing games to the pc , please ubi take over voliation inc and give us saints row 4

Of all the companies that could buy out THQ's assets, Ubisoft is the one who I think would do the best job with those properties. I hope it works out for both companies.

?????????????????????????????????????????????? NOOBS ray man the best

last night i wast playing Far Cry 3....and Suddenly thought that Ubi should buy this franchise and my wish for Christmas came true?.shit!! Should have been wished for Bugatti Veyron Sports Edition

Hopefully they'll give Darksiders a home.

Surprisingly, I'm perfectly okay with this. Had it been EA... heads would have rolled.

what? but cool!

just saying i really havent like alot of ubi games but i recently picked up ac3 and its a really good game i love it havent played a game that good in awhile. thq has managed to screw up every title that i have ever played by them and mainly the wwe games offline was great in 13 but online is the worst in years either goes split screen or the match never ends because the pin system is messed up online and a 3yr old could kick out of the pin its that easy. hopefully whomever buys the rights to there titles does a good job well ill say this it cant be worse than they are lol.

oh this would be awesomeq had this coming for awhile now im so glad thq may you never rest in peace.

Wouldn't be too bad a deal. Ubisoft is one of the few big publishers with a pretty good catalog. Hell, GOG already has a good bit of Ubisoft's 6th gen stuff. Throw us some of THQ's 6th gen goodies DRM-free as well.

Better than EA or Microsoft.

To all the Ubisoft haters : Far Cry 3, nuff said.
