THQ Moving Away From Red Faction Franchise


THQ has reported the results for its fiscal first quarter 2012, ending on June 20, 2011, and Brian Farrell, THQ's CEO and president, calls it disappointing. Worst of all, Farrell says the company is moving on from the Red Faction franchise after the last two games were too "niche" in their sales.

"We are disappointed in our first quarter financial performance," said Farrell. "Sales of Red Faction: Armageddon and our licensed kids titles were below our expectations, and the late release of UFC Personal Trainer also adversely impacted the quarter.”

"Given that [Red Faction] now in two successive versions has [only] found a niche, we do not intend to carry forward with that franchise in any meaningful way," Farrell stated. Farrell explained that the company is looking for its core titles to hit high bars in both quality and sales.

Unfortunate, but expected. It certainly only had a limited audience but it was a pretty cool series in my opinion.

Yea..I liked Guerilla to except in some cse the missions and odds were a bit to much. The concept was great and loved the destruction aspect. It would've been better if you just had better support. It was like seasoned troops against farmers most the time.
