mistermostyn | January 24, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 
Following on from the canning of Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed, THQ has now pulled the plug on Frontlines: Fuel of War on the PS3 as well as cutting loose under-performing IPs Juiced and Stuntman.
Specifically the California-based company has confirmed in the report for its fiscal third quarter (ending December 31, 2007) that it has cancelled Frontlines: Fuel of War for the PlayStation 3 and also chosen to drop under-performing intellectual properties (IPs) Stuntman and Juiced. THQ has also dropped its Concrete Games studio.

    Didn't care about Frontlines. THQ wasn't doing well since this new generation of gaming began.

    shame for ps3 owners. Frontlines looked like an awesome game.

    What does it mean to 'drop'? Does that mean they still own the IP, but are not developing it?

    Would be a shame for Stuntman. Not nearly as big a deal for the other two.
