THQ, Citing Poor Revenues in the First Quarter, Kills Sopranos for the 360 |
Ó
THQ held a conference call today, confirming the cancellation of the Sopranos game for the Xbox 360. The title remains on schedule to be released on the Playstation 2. According to THQ, there "was not enough difference" between the PS2 and Xbox 360 version. Originally, THQ wanted to develop the X360 version as a genuine next-gen effort with features the PS2 version wouldn't have. The company also reported their revenue results for the first quarter of 2006 today, which did not look as good as Ubisoft's - the cancellation could be part of an effort to save resources.
Net losses of $12.1 million were reported by THQ, three times as much as in the same period last year.
The Sopranos game for the X360 was supposed to present next-gen gamers the first playable version of the long-running, award-winning television show. The screens that were released by THQ for the Xbox 360 were indeed very similar to the visual qualities of the PS2 version, and even for the latter, the game did not look very good.
THQ's future is looking much brighter: The publisher will delve further into the next-gen era with the release of Saint's Row and Company Of Heroes. Additionally, next-gen ports of Cars head to shelves this holiday season.

good, it looked like crap, and those TV/games always suck...
no raw on ps3 ,no sopranoson 360 what next no saints row
saints row is badass.... at first I didnt think it was that cool but after playing some Im totally hooked
THQ blows
As quoted by THQ, "The 360 version of Sopranos look no better than the PS2 version." Oh wow, so much for a next-gen system. If the 360 is that weak, PS3 is going to own!
"what next no saints row" not when its coming out next month...I highly doubt they'd cancel a game they are 99% done with. unless they are complete morons.
I was hoping for this game. i would love to be able to play as Tony as long as long as you could smack the crap out of Janice Soprano. can't stand her.
