THQ held its 4th quarter investor call today where they detailed their plan for 2011, or fiscal 2012. I know, the fiscal year thing confuses me too. THQ's fiscal 2012 began this past April 1. THQ will be entering fiscal 2012 with the most triple-A titles they've had in one year. Red Faction: Armageddon and MX vs ATV Alive are scheduled for this quarter with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine in August. They will be wrapping up the fiscal year with Saints Row 3, UDraw for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and UFC 3 in Q4. But there were several THQ titles missing.

Absent from 2011's line-up was Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium, Darksiders 2, Devil's Third, and the sequel to Metro 2033, Metro Last Light. THQ dated their MMO Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium for fiscal 2013 which means we could see it in the latter half of 2012. THQ didn't mention when they planned on releasing the first installment in Guillermo del Toro's trilogy, Insane but they did remind us it was still coming.

THQ was also mum about developing and publishing games on Nintendo's new console. They declined to comment on its features at Nintendo's request. They did mention they were looking forward to working with the new hardware. I wonder if we'll see some THQ launch titles when Nintendo's console is released.

Which THQ games are you looking forward too?

So they have said they are working on a new Metro 2033? I absolutely loved the first! Sure it was kinda short but the story and feel of the game i thought were amazing. I have always thought it was too underated.

Is anyone else tired of this person ''beosi'' and people like them treating our forum like a freakin' swap meet? They're over here selling their crappy goods and getting the featured comment at least 25% of the time. I think these people should face the heavy end of the ban hammer NOW!! If anyone reading this feels the same then support the cause and REPORT THESE IDIOTS!!!

I'm actually lookin forward to Space Marine. It'd be interesting to see what kinda weapons, armor, and abilities they'd give to a space marine

I was a big fan of Darksiders. I was underwhelmed by the demo but bought it anyway and absolutely loved it. There's a lot of variety and it's just fun. No, it's not the most original game but who cares, it's a fun game.

What I find ABSOLUTELY hysterical is how so many people rag on Darksiders as a game, when it has so many of the same mechanics of a Zelda game. To me it just felt like a more grown up Zelda, anyway. Same sort of dungeon navigation/ find big new item that lets you get to next area kind of gameplay.

Now, if it was a "ZELDA" title, people would love it just for the branding, whether or not the game grew up a little or did anything different from previous iterations. Which for the record, Darksiders DID just that.

That said, Darksiders was an awesome game just for the sheer size of the game. It wasn't a mindless hack and slash like God of War can be, it had elements of shooting, vehicle use, puzzles, melee combat, and honestly... it had one hell of a cool story. People need to stop wanting to just flame everything and really look at what they're talking about.
