THQ CEO Brian Farrell is showing all of his cards well in advance of the year's biggest show, telling IGN to expect new instalments of the company's noted franchises.

Topping the list are Saint's Row 3, a new game, and original first-person Homefront. The latter comes from Frontlines: Fuel of War-creators Studio. A showing of the 40k game is also planned.

Despite concerns that is merely milking franchises, Farrell thinks the response from E3 will be positive. "I think people are going to go, 'Oh my God. They've got their stuff together.' "

We'd loved to be wowed, though we'll have to wait until E3 in June to see if THQ has pulled their stuff together.
