Looks like you guys over on the Old Continent will get a chance to destroy some humans on the PS3 afterall. A THQ UK representative told Eurogamer that Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon will still be arriving on Europe as scheduled on February 13th of next year. "Due to the game being shipped earlier in North America on 2nd December a decision was made to proceed exclusively with the Xbox 360 format in that market." Americans looking to join Cryptosporidium on his murderous adventures will just have to import.

360 payed them to be exclusive? lol dumbs , this game sucks
nathan-dts @ Nov 28th 2008 12:52PM
I doubt that, why would Microsoft pay for exclusity for a pathetic game like this?
RoninKengo @ Nov 28th 2008 4:18PM
Due to tech issues they can't meet the deadline for the simultaneous release... so they don't release it at all?!
nathan-dts @ Nov 28th 2008 12:52PM
Well then, I can safely say that despite me being a U.K resident I WON'T be picking this up, not only because the previous installments sucked but also because THQ suck.

@ur reply above,
hey u never know, M$ wants to add one more game to the list of games that are no longer on the PS3 or that are multiplatform

@rohan
Are you serious? I've heard 9/11 conspiracies that I'm more inclined to believe. The PS3 version had been delayed for a while, you couldn't even get a release date on it. Nobody would pay for exclusivity on this garbage. THQ will be lucky to move 100k units on this crap at whatever price they're charging for it ($5 is too much IMHO).
The Pirate @ Nov 28th 2008 12:58PM
They have a problem with development and since the american version comes out earlier, the game isnt ready for American audiences yet...the UK release doesnt come out until Febuary! And yet you still say "THQ SUCK FOR DELAYING A GAME THAT WASNT READY!!"
lostmongoose @ Nov 28th 2008 1:42PM
it would be different if they had just delayed the PS3 version instead of outright canceling it. This does warrant a 'THQ sucks ass' comment.
NipGrip @ Nov 28th 2008 1:42PM
So rather than make *any* kind of money on the PS3 version selling it in the US, they would rather just not release it? Something doesn't smell right. I have no clue on Earth what it could be but why not just release it in the US as well as UK on the same day? Who cares it's not releasing in the US on it's scheduled day? It's not like the AAA blockbuster title this season.
Ah well, thanks to the region free PS3, we can just import it.
Game_playa @ Nov 28th 2008 1:47PM
Would you want to though?
truspector @ Nov 28th 2008 2:30PM
No, nobody would want to.
AJ-90 @ Nov 28th 2008 1:13PM
yeah you think microsoft pays for low games ?? they have got a good eye example bioshock, if this game truns out to be good then free region FTW
PixelFlix @ Nov 28th 2008 1:12PM
Gah some of you can be such blind fanboys..
I remember playing the first game on the ps2, and I loved it. I never bought the second game, but now seeing videos from the third game I have to check this out. Destroy all humans is a fun game, just because it's not going to be on american ps3's doesn't mean it "sucks." Stop being such blind fanboys...
AcidReaper @ Nov 28th 2008 1:39PM
did microsoft paid you to say that
Redfield @ Nov 28th 2008 1:50PM
You do realize you're on a site with the word "fanboy" in the title, right? At least try to use your damn brain.
Smitty @ Nov 28th 2008 1:42PM
Apparently, in addition to making crappy games, THQ failed business school. You've already invested in making a game for the PS3 architecture, why would you not release it in the North American market? Limiting yourself to just Europe is silly.
I guess the only reason they wouldn't want to release it late in North America is if they're predicting the game is going to tank and that there will be no demand for it whatsoever (even on a different platform) come February. Interesting.
fiziks @ Nov 28th 2008 2:36PM
right, they must have research from (somewhere) which leads them to believe the game will fail in north america

Destroy some Humans: The path to Europe.
HIghlander @ Nov 28th 2008 4:25PM
That's just plain stupid.
So the game isn't canceled, but because THQ are dumbasses they'll forgo the US market? What now? If they're actually finishing the game why in hell are they not releasing it in the US? Stupidity. What is it? Are they being paid by MS? I mean, if the game is getting a release in Europe, why not the US? Thank goodness PS3s are region free, it should allow some in the US to get the game if they want it. But it's still just plain stupid.
THQ, you're fools, even more so if you're allowing Microsoft's pocketbook to determine your strategy.
MexicanTerrorist @ Nov 28th 2008 3:08PM
We're releasing it earlier in US for 360, so we decided to go 360 exclusive there.
Sounds like a really lame excuse to me.
Tyler @ Nov 28th 2008 10:02PM

ryan @ Nov 29th 2008 6:51PM
That's great, now do that, but for the whole system. Ah, now there's some entertainment potential right? I mean really, how is this so difficult for Sony to implement?
Magma @ Nov 28th 2008 4:25PM
Wow, holy fuck, could you get any more stupid than this?
PixelFlix @ Nov 28th 2008 5:10PM
Haha wow I see so many comments saying that THQ is stupid for making it 360 US exclusive, yet you guys hate this game so much. Now if you hate it with a passion, then how come your mad at THQ? I know! just all mad that it's not going to be on US PS3's :P
Tom @ Nov 28th 2008 5:03PM
Hellz YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH
lorddshadow2 @ Nov 28th 2008 5:25PM
thq sucks. they will never get my money unless they make an amazing never before seen game. the series was pretty good on ps2 if not insanely repetitive but it was fun just slaughtering people. but that's what gta's for...AND IT HAS TROPHIES WHAT NOW THQ?!
GerryButton@me.com @ Nov 28th 2008 6:21PM
This makes me wish I lived in the UK. This is actually one of my favorite game series and I was pretty annoyed there a few days back when I saw the news that the PS3 release of the game was canned. This was going to be one of the gifts I was hoping my wife was going to get me.
I loved the first one, the second was just as fun, I was a tad disappointed with the Wii installation, and I still plan on getting this one, one way or another.
korwyn @ Dec 1st 2008 8:39PM
you can always get the European version of this game, you know?
Ihas @ Nov 28th 2008 9:28PM
where would you get this game import
Shaun @ Nov 29th 2008 1:14AM
Too bad all four of them have to import this game.
PixelFlix @ Nov 29th 2008 3:00AM
@tyler
Really??Wow that's great! To bad I can do that on every one of my 360 games :P Haha well I guess that's good to hear. Killzone 2 does look like something i'll finally buy for my dusty PS3 :)
lookhappy @ Nov 29th 2008 5:06AM
apathy runs through my veins
gamer andy @ Dec 1st 2008 10:45AM
I live in australia and it's a PAL region so we better get the game as well.
As for development issues, that's F#@king bullshit.
THQ are just being lazy, just like Valve (who are the shittest developer in the world ) it looks THQ are coming a close second.
Crypto22 @ Dec 2nd 2008 5:04PM
