Tony Scott "badly wanted" to direct Gears of War

Player Attack: This week, movie buffs are mourning the death of Tony Scott, following the Top Gun director's suicide at the age of 68. In recent years, Scott had directed Unstoppable, Domino and The Taking of Pelham 123 - but stories are now surfacing that he had also tried to snag a video game tie-in film as well: The cinematic release of Gears of War.

All due respect, I think I would have wanted Ridley for this.

Baka-akaB4265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

Maybe but i doubt Ridley would waste time on Gears of War , amidst all potential game franchises (like Halo) .

Hell i dont picture Ridley directing any game adaptation instead of its own stuff and potential sequels of all of his major hits

blackhammer4265d ago

Only if he didn't butcher the material as he did with Robin Hood.

Either Scott, they would have probably made the movie something worth seeing.

Grap4265d ago

life isn't perfect killing your self is the coward way of life. i don't respect him. end of story.

ChunkyLover534265d ago

Try having brain cancer and being in constant pain, maybe you'd like to spare your family the torture of seeing you shrivel away and die slowly and painfully? Seems like it takes more guts to save the people you love from experiencing that. That might just be me though.

r214265d ago

Dude, he's dead man. Respect the dead. RIP Tony Scott :C

Baka-akaB4265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

It's not like he cared about your respect , and it's easy to judge when you have no real issue , health related or otherwise .

We'll care about your input on what's cowardly or not , once you regal us of tales of battling through insane pain and mentaly debilitating illness

RIp Tony Scott , and much respect for his movies .

Lord_Sloth4265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

Normally I'm inclined to agree about suicide being cowardly and disgraceful, but in this case I can kinda see where he was coming from. He didn't want to put his family through months of watching him deteriorate and in constant pain just to suffer from his death in the end anyway.

He didn't kill himself to get away from the cancer; he killed himself to make sure his family didn't see him suffer to reach the same end anyway. Also he was 68 years old. It's not like he cut his life short before his time.

So with all due respect, shut up, remove your hat, and offer the man a moment of silence.

blackhammer4265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

Clearly, you don't know what suffering and agony is.

pixelsword4259d ago

Reading these comments enlightened me on the subject.

BitbyDeath4265d ago

You might not have heard but he had brain cancer and all treatments had been exhausted so he was going to die anyway.

Honestly I have more respect for him after hearing the reasons as to why he did it.

No disrespect to the man, but if your videogame source material is ALREADY SHIT, then how could the movie possibly be any better? Videogame movies always suck as it is.

I mean he was far from being the greatest filmmaker of all time, but still, Gears of War? Really?? I really think that would've tarnished his career.

R.I.P. nevertheless.

Baka-akaB4265d ago

As usual the movie would most likely got little to do with the game . At least it was Tony Scott , his version could and most likely be better in the story department .

Anyway it obviously didnt work out so ...

IWentBrokeForGaming4265d ago

back on topic with the Gears of War film...

does anyone actually expect this thing to be good?

johnsonbat4265d ago

Then he read the script......

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756101d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00101d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic101d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack102d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing102d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic101d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos102d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin102d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris102d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine101d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz102d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin106d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack106d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69106d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07106d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn106d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid106d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog106d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992106d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
