Action adventure Saint's Row, originally expected in time for Christmas, is now slated for a release some time between April and June. Motorbike racer Moto GP 2006: Ultimate Racing Technology and WWII shooter The Outfit will be released in the first half of next year.
In addition, previously delayed PC title S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has slipped further, and is down for an October 2006 release at the earliest.
THQ has a further ten next-generation titles in development, and has revealed that 80 per cent of its development resources will be split equally between PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games. The remaining 20 per cent will be allocated to Nintendo Revolution titles.
Despite the delays, things are looking good for the publisher financially - second quarter net sales stand at $142.7 million, marking a 48 per cent increase on last year's figures.
Net losses are also down from $6.4 million to $1.4 million, which CEO Brian Farrell attributed to strong sales of original IP such as the Tak series, Destroy All Humans! and street racer Juiced. Strong-selling licensed properties included WWE Day of Reckoning 2 and Scooby Doo! Unmasked.
The company predicts net sales of approximately $770 million for the financial year ending March 2006, and expects the SpongeBob SquarePants series and PSP version of Juiced to perform particularly well.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of over-ambition.
It's funny that we're all commenting on that rather than the 360 delays. |

"wouldn't surprise me, afterall Halo was originally PC-1st before M$ nicked it"
Apple MacOS first actually, before M$ bought Bungie. Man, I bet Steve Jobs was f*cking fuming over that one. |

Hmm... should just delay the worthless Xbox 360 until NEVER, as it's gonna get flushed like the massive turd it is when the PS3 hits.
M$ were picking the wrong fight when they stepped into Sony's yard, and they're just taking the piss trying to get the jump on us with the next gen. We're gonna fucking OWN you again this gen cocksuckers. |
