THQ recovery continues: stock safe on NASDAQ
THQ's recovery received a boost today after the US company regained compliance with the NASDAQ stock market.

NASDAQ gave it the nod after THQ's common stock closed at $1 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days - the minimum amount required.

The Saints Row publisher's decision to go for a one for 10 reverse stock split did the trick, then. Earlier this month it consolidated THQ's 68.5 million shares to around 6.9 million, raising the value of each unit of common stock to well over the one dollar mark. THQ had been in danger of a de-listing since January after its stock fell under the one dollar mark for over 30 days.

THQ, which is set to release action game Darksiders 2 next month, has reshuffled key management in recent months and dropped games in an attempt to steer the company back to profitability.

In May Naughty Dog co-founder Jason Rubin replaced outgoing games boss Danny Bilson, and this week THQ announced Ron Moravek, co-founder of Dawn of War and Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment, had joined as executive vice president.

THQ has ditched its failed uDraw product, Itagaki's Devil's Third and licensed titles to focus on fewer core games. Its upcoming slate includes WWE, Metro: Last Light, Company of Heroes 2, Saints Row 4, South Park: The Stick of Truth, inSANE and Homefront 2.

Project Adventurer screens, details

Εικόνα

The Farm 51 studio have released the first screenshots of their project Adventurer and also a press release that gives details about this upcoming FPS action-adventure game. Set in the 1930's, the title features several environments, such as tropical jungles and frozen wastelands, filled with puzzles, traps and enemies. Powered by Unreal Engine 3, the game is expected to release in 2013 for Xbox 360 and PC.

Press Release

Spoiler: ΕΜΦΑΝΙΣΗ

July 24, 2012

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Jungle, The Farm 51 showcases one of the main antagonists from the upcoming action / adventure FPS - Project Adventurer.

GLIWICE, Poland - Simply known as The Sentinel or The Guardian to the Lost City, this creature’s real name is no longer remembered by mere mortals. Once a brutal, but just Mayan king, The Sentinel made a pact with his God that in exchange for his eternal servitude he would be granted unimaginable power and immortality.

Such power that his mortal body did not withstand the awesome might that was bestowed upon him. The Sentinel perished only to be reborn – stronger than before. Blinded by rage, he hunted and slaughtered every last resident of The Lost City and now stands as its eternal guardian – waiting at the entrance for anyone fool enough to enter.

Set in the 1930’s, Project Adventurer takes the player on a globetrotting adventure from tropical jungles to frozen wastelands – each locale filled with dangerous traps, extensive environmental puzzles and dangerous enemies. Ranging from human soldiers to supernatural warriors, Project Adventurer puts the player in the shoes of a private Investigator dragged into a plot to find an ancient artifact that seems to have awakened a threat long though dead.

Developed by The Farm 51 and powered by Unreal 3, Project Adventurer is planned for a 2013 release for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and PC – with plans for a Playstation 3 version of the game. About The Farm 51 The Farm 51 is a Polish video game developer focusing on high quality action games for both the PC and current generation of gaming consoles. Founded in 2005 by industry veterans, The Farm 51 currently employs persons responsible for such titles as the original Painkiller, The Witcher and Two Worlds II.

The Farm 51 is best known for its first person shooters NecroVisioN and NecroVisioN: Lost Company as well as, the extremely successful PC casual game StoneLoops! and Time Ace for the Nintendo DS. The company is headquartered in Gliwice, Poland with additional offices in Katowice and employs nearly 50 people. The Farm 51 is listed on NewConnect (a share market run by the Warsaw Stock Exchange).

This Crysis Halo Mod Sounds Sweet

Εικόνα

Once in a while a mod project comes around that is so big and ambitious that it catches our attention here at Game Informer. Venerance: Sigma Octanus IV is one such mod project. A dedicated group of Halo fans, who have dubbed themselves Tributary Creations, has decided to create the mod using the tools from the CryEngine 3 Software Development Kit from Crytek.

The goal of the mod is to essentially overhaul Crysis 2 and create an authentic Halo experience focusing on the events that occurred on the planet Sigma Octanus IV in Eric Nylund’s “The Fall of Reach” from chapters 19-22. You won’t find big space battles in this mod. Instead, the action will be focused solely on stealth and ground combat as you take on the role of Blue-Five, a SPARTAN-II on a mission to infiltrate the only Covenant occupied city and discover why they haven’t simply destroyed it like all the others.

The team stresses their dedication to creating an authentic and plausible experience based on their interpretation of the Halo canon as well as making logical improvements. As an example they cite that in Halo 2 the only other visible MJOLNIR equipped soldier magically grabs ammo from nowhere. In their mod, there will be ammo pouches. It might be a small detail, but for a team trying to create an experience that is as plausible as possible, little things like that can go a long way to making a focused experience.

Though no definite timeline for development has been released, the stated goal is to have a SPARTAN-II partial mod out by the end of Summer that allows gamers to play through Crysis 1, 2, and 3 as a SPARTAN-II soldier. Hopefully that will pacify anxious players until the full mod is released.

A statement from the Venerance developer page states:

“We are doing this in tribute to the makers of all things Halo; not in defiance, contradiction, or competition. Venerance is a labor of love: nothing more, nothing less. A returned handshake, fistbump, man-hug, or whatever other example you’d like. Bungie has shown love to us, 343i has shown love to us… this is us showing the love back. There are many ways to return the love, but this is the channel of expression which we are choosing.”

We wish you the best of luck, Tributary Creations and we hope to see Venerance in action as soon as possible.
