THQ CEO Wants to Make the Next Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim

Unread postby News Portal » 10 Jun 12, 10:00 am

Jason Rubin is only seven days into his position as THQ CEO, but he's already hitting the media to talk about how he intends to turn things around for the company. "Why couldn't that be a 'Red Dead Redemption' or a 'Skyrim'?," said Rubin of Saints Row the Third. "I look at that title and I say, Who cares what it is and why it got to be what it is? From that team we can make something that isn't embarrassing (for you to play in front of your wife and son)." Rubin is also confident that THQ will be able to ditch the last remaining stock of the now infamous uDraw Game Tablet. "We think we will sell the remaining units by this holiday," he said. "We won't be burying these in the desert."

Shouldn't this conservative nutjob be in politics or touching up altar boys?

I like his enthusiasm. If he can back it up with action I will be happy, mature gaming has been the domain of far too few developers, with THQ wasting so much time and money lately on licensed properties and rushed release it will be interesting to see what original works they can create.






As an aside, good luck with the uDraw...

Because another Saints Row is a terrible idea, noone would buy that.
