From the article: "European online distributor Metaboli just garnered some serious gaming street cred by signing a huge deal with THQ to distribute some of their top upcoming games. Titles such as Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm as well as Frontlines: Fuel of War will be available on their release date, making it easy for Europeans not wanting to drive somewhere to get the titles."

"THQ had the following to say about the issue, "In October, we announced certain product quality initiatives, including personnel and structural changes in product development and a more rigorous internal and external product evaluation and feedback process," said Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ. "Consistent with these initiatives, we have taken actions to strengthen our pipeline and position ourselves to compete aggressively with compelling, high quality games.""

"Mostly the engine we're using--Unreal Engine 3. One of the main things about it is that the PS3 came a year later than the Xbox 360, so that actually delayed us making a budget in a sense for what's possible on the PS3 versus the Xbox and PC. Also, the engine wasn't ready for a year later because the PS3 came out a year later. So [with] the Xbox and the PC platform we've found more solid a platform to develop on, but the engine is literally just finished for that platform and that's actually a long time. All the first games for the PS3 are coming out now for the PS3 on that engine."

"THQ has refused to comment on Internet rumours suggesting the PS3 version of upcoming near-future FPS Frontlines: Fuel of War has been cancelled.

Over the weekend rumours that the PS3 version of the game had been canned emerged after forum posters at developer Kaos Studios revealed that some US retailers had removed the PS3 from its online listings.

In response Kaos Studio employees have posted in the forum, calling for patience and promising more info soon, saying: "Again, please do not overreact to rumours or, like with release dates, take what retailers say as truth. The timing of this was unfortunate as it was the weekend but there will be actual info shortly."

When contacted by VideoGamer.com today for clarification, publisher THQ served us with the standard "THQ does not comment on rumour or speculation".

While a lack of a firm and swift denial will do nothing to allay PS3-owners fears that the game, which is still on for a February 29 release on Xbox 360 and PC, has been canned on their system, it may simply be the case that the PS3 version of the game, which has never been given an official release date, needs some added polish to bring it up to scratch."

Reports have come in that Gamestop & EBGames have been notified the PS3 version is canceled, listings seem to have been removed from their respective web sites, and admins on the Kaos Studios forums are not denying it.

"Don't fret. The xbox 360 version is great!"

"The art director on upcoming shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War has denied that gamers are currently suffering from FPS fatigue.

Luis Cataldi, art director at Frontlines developer Kaos Studios, believes the high number of critically acclaimed first-person shooter games that have come out in 2007, like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and BioShock, has instead "created more of an appetite".

Speaking at a hands-on even for Frontlines, which depicts a near future world where the West is fighting the East over the Earth's last reserves of oil, Cataldi told VideoGamer.com that while there is the "opportunity" for FPS fatigue to be true, the opposite is in fact happening."
