The achievements for THQ's upcoming shooter, Frontlines: Fuel of War have just been revealed and well... They're nothing special or out right original about them and seem very plain.

There are 30 achievement points, totaling 1000 points. Basically, the majority of the list is... Complete this mission, complete this mission in this amount of time, complete this mission without dying *yawn*

Oh well, there is that secret 100 point achievement that does spark interest... But going by the rest of the list, completing the game is a good shout.

"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."

Via Videogamer:

"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.

Kaos DanMatlack said....

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