Rumor: Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to PS3?THQ is disappointing the PS3 faithful once more as they have officially canned Frontlines: Fuel of War for the PlayStation 3. The rumors regarding this game were all over the place over the last handful of days and THQ has finally had the guts to come out and lay them to rest in nothing but a negative fashion.
Some speculate that an interview with Frank Delise done through Gamespot kind of gave the foreshadowing for this event. It was in this interview that Frank stated, "Mostly the engine we're using--Unreal Engine 3. One of the main things about it is that the PS3 came a year later than the Xbox 360, so that actually delayed us making a budget in a sense for what's possible on the PS3 versus the Xbox and PC. Also, the engine wasn't ready for a year later because the PS3 came out a year later. So [with] the Xbox and the PC platform we've found more solid a platform to develop on, but the engine is literally just finished for that platform and that's actually a long time. All the first games for the PS3 are coming out now for the PS3 on that engine."
Along with Frontlines being canned for the PS3, THQ has canned their Concrete Games Studio which had two unannounced titles scheduled for release over the next 2-3 years. With the recent cancellation of the small-hit Destroy All Humans and now this, it’s been a disappointing week overall thus far for gamers.
THQ had the following to say about the issue, "In October, we announced certain product quality initiatives, including personnel and structural changes in product development and a more rigorous internal and external product evaluation and feedback process," said Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ. "Consistent with these initiatives, we have taken actions to strengthen our pipeline and position ourselves to compete aggressively with compelling, high quality games."
I guess in order to strengthen their pipelines they’ve leaned towards weakening their pipeline to the PlayStation 3. This move may hurt their reputation in the long run.

Thats just being lazy
If only, we get the truth, not the broke back lies...........EA, don't know 'bout you.
Whatever, one less bad FPS on the market. That's too bad about Destroy All Humans though. Never played it, but heard it was fun.
Clearly read.......We suck on good hardware, we will dev for Wii now.
its a conspiracy
tossers, who needs em anyway!
not really a big deal to me. hopefully they pull things togeather for next year
who cares tht game looks boring anyways. just play COD4 and call it day
I hope 2008 isn't the year of the downfall of THQ... Maybe I'm overreacting though...
Well I honestly cant say I'm disappointed because I had no intention to pick this game up - but at the same time that isnt very good news for people hanging out for this game. If they were gonna cancel it they should have cancelled it months ago! Its not good enough... now what happens to all the pre-orders aye? Stupid THQ.. rediculous.
Thats going to have wary supporters of THQ. Seeing as how this cancellation has passed, I wonder how they will regain fanbase support.
THQ probably didn't want to go up against Killzone 2 and Haze. They figured Playstation owners are more well rounded and don't just play FPSs. This would have been nothing more than a rental for me if I happened to be bored the week it came out, so I won't miss it. 360 gets Frontlines... PS3 get Metal Gear Solid... hmm, I'm gonna go cry now!!!
Actually no it has not been canned, it was rumored over the last while that it would be canned but several days ago THQ replied and said it has "not" been canned it was just delayed.
hahaha who cares. I wouldnt have bought their lazy games anyways.
Ok...can we get a list of all the "banned words" that the filter blocks....cause this is getting ridiculous. I can't post what I want to say concerning this article...and there isn't a cuss word in there. That my friend is weak sauce!
Dasteru, are you trying to tell me that THQ officially announcing today that it has been canned, is wrong? Lol.

Thanks, that's two days old news. This was announced today, do you have anything announced within the last couple of hours that specifies the game is delayed?
Maybe it has been canned but i doubt it, devs have been known before to say games were canned when they werent, and it seems kinda strange that the company would confront a rumor with "the game is still on track" then 2 days later say it has been canned. most likely it was just an uninformed rep that isnt directly involved with the game.
I wish they would confirm every rumor before posting it
This isn't a rumor, lol.
wow great. UT3 runs the unreal engine great, but thq sucks too bad to use it. not that i care about more shooters, but its still BS
what abunch of a**holes, but in reality I thank them for saving PS3 owners from purchasing a mediocre game. Its not like this is going to be a groundbreaking game or anything, its just another FPS with shot guns, rocket launchers and enemy soldiers. I'll stick with call of duty thank you. Xbots are welcome to keep this one.
Quitters never win. They'll regret this one...
i said it b4 and i'll say it again, this is by far the best thing that could happen and if they were smart they would can the game all together. the demo is complete trash, trust me, no one is going to buy this game and this is no hate for the 360, i have 1 but this game is simply horrible.
thats fine with me anyone who dosen't want in to the ps3 revolution can be left out on the curb. FL)CK THQ There games r a waist of time. my money isn't going to them till they make a real game.
I don't care, that much, well a little, but I probably wouldn't play it
down with thq
Dam! Not a good day for news for PS3 owners! But I laughed, as I thought of the abundance of other things going for the PS3 currently. This news is not even worthy of my brainpower, when this won't even affect the momentum the PS3 has.
i hope they like loosing our faith in them, because when THQ sees that are console is selling alot they will want to come back, well they can keep their CRAP!
DAMNIT!! this game was lookin so good 2. i was gonna pick it up no doubt
Screw THQ, after those sweet trailers shown early 2007 i was pretty pumped for this game. But then i saw actuall gameplay and it looks horrible. Im sorry to say i could care less if this game was on ps3 or not.
thats funny on g4 on the 22nd the feed said though being rumored canned it was merely delayed
HAHAHAHAHAHA. That is over used now. The PS3 came out a year later.... it came out a year later. SHUT UP!!! I'm tired of that, get it outta here. That didn't stop epic from making Unreal Tournament, an amazing shooter using the Unreal Engine.
Is Microsoft down to the point where they have to bribe studios for their platform? Probably wouldn't have gotten this title anyway. Glad THQ lost all that money deving for PS3.
god so many freakin cancels this week
Frontlines seemed a little meh to me. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't have picked it up. DAH on the other hand, I was definitely waiting for that one. That one being cancelled hurts me more.
THQ lost credibility i dont know how they are going to bring it back for the sony faithfuls, just seems THQ isnt that great of devs as some people may think that they can't conquer the PS3 hardware like everyone else can. as a matter of fact I can't think of a game that was really an AAA title, I wasn't a fan of DAH played and sent it back to blockbuster that same week.
If they can't deliver a quality product, It's better not to deliver it. Who wants another bad port and a XBox version better then the PS3 version?
The microsoft wants under the fame and power of ps3.That uses a conspiracy?lol
So,their excuse,after UT3 released exclusively on ps3 last year,is that the unreal engine doesn't work properly on the ps3?THQ,are you serious?
i dont gave a $hi+ about this game ... its a good thing that they cancelled the game on the PS3 ... i dont wanna see another half-good /game on my PS3
Lets face it, who cares, we already have 5 squillion FPS's and another 5 Squillion to come. woopy doo
thq is the worst. who cares if they dont make games for the ps3? when was the last major hit from thq?
I play demo version of this game on D other console and this game is just as bad as almost all THQ games. So no!... is not a big loss for ps3 gamers.
This game wasn't all that anyway. The preview in OPM said it looked pretty average, and a mate who downloaded the XBL demo said that AI was hopeless. This is no loss at all.
Oh, and bedsidelee - an opinion is an opinion, but your comments regarding GTA5 are complete BS. Plus, the PS3 'struggling'? Sure, sales started out slow, but it's catching up fast - and in no way could it ever be described as 'struggling'!.
i get it, its not like i would do it for ps3 either, its developed later then the others and delaying the release date would be bad
I think this is just the beginning. Last year, they cancelled Saints Row. Now, they cancel this and destroy all humans. Expect Saints Row 2 to be cancelled as well. We've probably seen the last Smackdown vs Raw too.
psn id: gingo... wasn't a gamei was going to get anyway but developers really need to get a grip on ps3 developement cos this is jus plain lazy
They've made their decision, and now I'm making mine. I will never support such developers on any console. And THQ is as you can see a subpar company that will no longer exsist if this game tanks!
thq sucks!!!
These folks are lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. What about CONAN, who released it for them?? Well THQ just back your bags and get out of the PS3 camp, do yu even know the console we are talking about???? Lots of bad news for the ps3 this month.
