THQ: Two Big Announcements Coming That Will Blow Your Mind
THQ are really showcasing their strong presence in the gaming industry, with successful games such as Darksiders and their popular UFC video game franchise. Their upcoming line-up was strengthened when Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki joined the company with the recently announced Devil’s Third. Now, with THQ acquiring the talent to work on big upcoming blockbuster titles, they claim that two announcements they have in store will blow your mind. Literally.
Speaking with VG247, THQ Core head Danny Bilson stated that established developers such as Activision and EA will start worrying about competing with THQ. Bilson also said there are two big announcements from the company which will blow your mind.
I think what you’re going to see is the best developers in the world coming to THQ over the next year, because our system is completely different to the other companies. Of course, we can be competitive in the deal, but it’s not about that. At THQ Core, our marketing department and our product development department work as one, together under my supervision. I come from creative, so at THQ, games are built from a creative [standpoint] first, then marketing looks at it and figures out a creative campaign. We don’t do market research on, “What do kids want to play?” We make games that we want to play, and we hire professionals. We are very professional, and we play games all the time. What we’re building at THQ are the games we want to play the most.
Honestly? To compete with our friends at Activision and EA? I think they’re going to have to start worrying about competing with us. Everybody wants to work here. There are two big announcements coming that will blow your mind.
For whatever it could be, it’s going to blow our minds, so, get ready to get your minds, er, blown.

Having your mind blown – literally – would actually suck pretty bad
Sounds like a great approach though. Not asking marketing what people want to play, but instead making games that the developers like to play and then marketing them.
Cool
Saints Row 3 plz
the only thing that would blow my mind would be that all new game are priced 39.99 or less for now on
Awesome over the last 2 years or so THQ is starting ro become one of my favorite publishers, so anything new coming from them is fine in my book.
Talk is cheap
they will make a ufc where the online works! -KAAAA BOOOMMMM!-
Lol
Why do people make announcements to announce the announcement lol. Wouldn’t it just be better to announce what you want to a announce.
Jeeze if I ever announced to my girl before hand that she would receive a dutch oven right before she wakes up I’d never have any fun…:D
Seriously though I don’t do dutch ovens, and I take the improper use of farts as very seriously. Did you know a leading reason why girls don’t like boys is because boys pass gas. Naw I’m joking again…got yah, but seriously though
Don’t Do Dutch Ovens…
“Brought to you by P.A.T.M.U.D.O.” People Against The Miss-Use of Dutch Ovens.
You have been warned.
could have sworn e3 passed already right. anyway still interested in these announcements
So what could a multi-platform developer have to say that would blow the minds of PS3 owners? There isn’t one multi-platform game that has ever been produced that has blown my mind. The reason for that being the 360!
Now, if THQ are planning on some exclusive PS3 games that are sounding good, maybe i’ll listen out for them. But if it’s multi-platform rubbish that uses less than 30% of the PS3′s power yet stretches the 360 to the max, then i don’t want to hear it.
@xST-ANGERx
Haha I was thinking something similar
Very very very few Multiplatform games has got me interested, the GTA series and a select few fighting games are the only ones that I can think of at the moment. Anyway this only appeals to the Trend Gamer
Saints Row 3 would be a big announcement
