Frontlines: Fuel of War PS3 & Destroy All Humans! PS2 cancelled

PS2 News | As THQ swings the axe.

THQ has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version of Frontlines: Fuel of War has been cancelled. The game was previously thought to be delayed, but the cancellation news has been confirmed today by the publisher. The cancellation is a shame, because it was being developed in Australia.

It seems THQ was in a cancellation mood today, also confirming that the PlayStation 2 version of Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed has also been cancelled. Frontlines: Fuel of War is set for release on the PC and Xbox 360 next month, Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed will be out for the Wii and PSP in March.

I really don't see how they can cancel the PS2 version of DAH, yet still be planning a PSP release. I mean, the PS2 is still alive and kicking, with a bigger grasp on the market than the PSP.

You would think that for the cost of porting an existing 360/PC game, that there would be more than enough PS3's out there to justify FFOW on the shiny black foreman grill.
As for the PS2 version of Destroy All Humans, as outdated as it is, the PS2 always performs well on the sales charts.

Frontlines is being developed by KAOS Studios, formerly Trauma Studios, the guys who made the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942, and were subsequently hired and fired by DICE, when they decided to close down DICE New York.

I also heard THQ is ditching Juiced and Stuntman franchises...maybe they are going poor or sumthin lol, and they both cancelled games comin out on sony platforms (except for psp), maybe they are too expensive to develop with and they can't afford it lol...

Is Frontlines going to be any good? With so many war games coming out and COD 4 being as good as it is will Frontlines have what it takes to stand out in this crowded genre?

Frontlines was shaping up quite well when I played it last year - it's a shame that PS3 owners will be missing out, because the multiplayer especially has tonnes of potential.

Different emphasis, Frontlines is more open and has vehicles (like Battlefield 2), whereas COD4 is more concentrated and is purely infantry on infantry. Even without Frontlines (which is a pity) PS3 will still get Battlefield: Bad Company which will be the same sort of thing.

That's not a generic shooter. THAT'S a generic shooter!

I am sure if it sells well, then they should have the funds to complete the ps3 port. If not, there are plenty of other games to choose from

That's a well polished and enjoyable game which I doubt you've even played.

There are a LOT worse shooters out there this gen...yet you chose that one?
