Rumortoid: Frontlines: Fuel of War canceled for the PS3? photo
     First Person Shooter

PlayStation 3 gamers looking to pick-up THQ's first-person shooter, Frontlines: Fuel of War, may be in for some disappointment. 

According to a tip we received from a GameStop employee, the retailer has confirmed in a store-wide email that the title has been canceled for the PlayStation 3. We were able to confirm this email with our own GameStop sources, although no reason was given for the cancellation. GameStop.com also no longer lists the title for pre-order, further indicating the game's demise. 

We've contacted THQ for comment, and we'll keep you updated when we learn more.

[Thanks, Two!]

I heard they canceled the PS3.

Also I played the game on PC and it was pretty good. The single player is crap, you have to play the multiplayer.

@Y0j1mb0:

We don't it either lol. This game is homeless as far as I'm concerned, and I'm just cynical enough to believe that if I give it money it will just buy booze anyways.

Probably not a huge deal but it's not great news for the PS3. The demo on XBL was ok but I don't think I'd buy it new if at all.

Looking at the beta, it should be canceled for all systems.

Was there something special about this title that would really make me want to get it? Is there something that would set this above all of the other generic fps shooters out there?

Something tells me there isn't. Mabye go something like...short but ok single player, good multiplayer with different options for you to choose, overall 6.0-7.0?

The game isn't "garbage". it simply has a long way to go in terms of polish, etc. Its also primarily a PC game with the consoles being the secondary systems.

I don't think it is a bad thing. This game would have probably followed the fate of other PC/360 to PS3 ports only in this case, when you port the mediocre, it just turns to complete shit through the porting process.

Hmm, I don't know why is everyone is talking about this game, as it's the next superman 64... From the vids I've seen it seems OK. Well, I'm downloading the pc beta right now... ^^

Was it ever coming out on PS3? No publisher I've spoken to has ever even mentioned that version. Always the PC and the 360.
