GamerZines: So the movie based on Microsoft's second biggest franchise is running into difficulties, with the director leaving and the budget "significantly scaled back."
Frankly we're disappointed but not surprised, however there's one massive factor yet to be revealed, the cast. As a result we thought we'd throw in our two cents and put together a fantasy list for the big screen adaptation of the original Gears of War.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
Gears of War is Epics game...
can't wait
This is just an idea but what about making the movie CG and use the voice cast from the game to voice the characters in the movie. I think the movie would look great as a CG Square proved that with Final Fantasy Advent Children a live action movie would be stupid.
so hollywood wants to destroy another video game by making it into a crappy movie. way to go by running out of ideas
