Double Fine Reportedly Looking Into Purchasing THQ Assets

Posted on Friday, January 11 @ 07:11:59 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


It looks like the guys over at Double Fine may be interested in bidding on a few of THQ's properties when the publisher is picked clean at an auction later this month.

According to a Twitter post by Distressed Debt Investing, both Warner Bros. and Double Fine Productions  have expressed an interest in the THQ case.  


At this point, we already know that both Electronic Arts and Warner will be there to get in on the action, but news of Double Fine's interest comes as a bit of a surprise. Then again, any studio with some extra cash to spend and a decent amount of common sense would probably be eyeing some of THQ's properties.

So, which THQ franchise do you think would be best suited over at Double Fine? Be sure to let us know in the comments below, and don't forget to check back here at GameRevolution on the 22nd to find out where THQ's assets will end up.

    The next Saints Row. Unfortunately, Double Fine doesn't really have the capital to make that happen, but given the chance, I think it would be amazing.

    Part of me is saying "Darksiders", another part of me is saying "Do you really want Double Fine's humor in a post apocalyptic scenario". Then the two bicker back and forth endlessly with no resolve in sight.

    Still, Darksiders. Would be interesting.

    So you're married to yourself?

    WWE, lol. But in all seriousness, Darksiders II and Saints Row are the only games I can imagine them attempting.

    I rolled that around in my head briefly. A non-standard WWE title could work from Double Fine. A well-executed wrestling game with RPG elements that highlights the ridiculousness of professional wrestling could work. So basically just a fleshed out story mode from any WWE release in the last 10 years or so that focuses on an actual story rather than just-a-little-more-than-random series of events strung together to form a boring and repetitive six hours of gameplay. But again, I don't think Double Fine has the financial means to make that a reality.

    It doesn't make sense. While I love Double Fine, them wanting to buy some properties from THQ seems odd considering that Tim did a Kickstarter for a game.

    Isn't it obvious? They want South Park.
