THQ has cancelled development of PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade versions of Saints Row: Drive-by, according to the CV of Scott Rogers, creative manager for THQ’s Core Games, Digital Games Group and Kids and Family Groups divisions.
The CV makes no reference to the 3DS version announced amongst a host of other 3DS titles at E3 last year.
Speaking last summer, THQ Core game boss Danny Bilson said: “The interesting thing about the game is we were already making it. We were already making it as our Xbox LIVE game and in 3D also. It’s designed for 3D already. So the 3DS version is an incremental cost. It’s not a big startup cost.”
He added: “Anything in a transmedia play has a column called marketing in it. It’s also a marketing tool. So how does that game model for us? I believe it will do great, especially if Nintendo is going to go mature and really do a big mature campaign on it. It’s a killer game. It’s got all the weird humour of Saints Row, and also its existence is part of the marketing plan to sell Saints Row 3.”
Saints Row The Third will be released this holiday for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
