Destroy All Humans! PS3 still coming to Europe

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Nov 28th 2008 at 1:45PM }

THQ has informed Eurogamer that the PlayStation 3 version of earthling annihilation sim Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, isn't quite as canceled we were lead to believe. It's still on track for a European release, joining its Xbox 360 sibling on shelves next year, February 13th. Is that enough time to sort out those "development issues?"

A spokesperson for the publisher explained: "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." If you were to ask us, we'd say the European strategy for releasing outside the holiday period and on twice as many platforms seems like the smarter one. If you were to ask us.

Path of the Furon canceled on PS3, becomes a 360 exclusive

Shacknews reports that THQ's upcoming (and cow probing) Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon has been canceled on the Playstation 3 citing "development issues" as being the main reason. Though, THQ is still commited to releasing the Xbox 360 version the first week of December, making Path of the Furon a 360 exclusive. Maybe not an A+ blockbuster exclusive, but it's an exclusive none the less. Enjoy the latest game trailer as a makeshift exclusivity celebration.

Many lives spared: PS3 'Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon' canceled

It's a wonder the UFO soaring toward retail next week has made it through such a rocky atmosphere intact. Well, not entirely. Identified as Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, the vessel has shed half of its cargo, with THQ confirming to Shacknews that the PlayStation 3 version of the game (flying under all radars) has been canceled due to "development issues." Put another way, PS3 owners can consider themselves spared from the latest sequel in the good-idea-gone-bad franchise. So, about that new focus on quality ...

THQ refuses to Destroy All Humans! on PS3

by Andrew Yoon { Nov 26th 2008 at 3:45PM }

The PS3 version of Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon has been mysteriously canceled a week before its release. Originally scheduled for December 1st, the game will now ship exclusively on Xbox 360. According to THQ, "development issues" have been blamed for this cancellation.

Perhaps those "issues" involved forgetting to actually start development of the PS3 version. Or perhaps THQ just didn't care. Or maybe it's because THQ fired everyone that might've even worked on a PS3 version. Regardless, we doubt many of you are feeling the loss.

Destroying all humans begins this December

by Dustin Burg { Nov 11th 2008 at 5:15PM }

THQ and Sandblast just revealed that Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon will make its way to retailers the week of December 1st. We're sure your copy is already secured with a pre-order.

Path of the Furon will be the first Destroy All Humans title to grace the Xbox 360 and will feature fully destructible environments, multiplayer support and co-op. Maybe its reception will be warmer than the original's lukewarm reviews and maybe Crypto will finally realize that probing cows does absolutely nothing for his human species research.
