Dirty Harry Video Game and more?

[Agent]

Or we can combine the two and make him a Dirty-Harry-Joker vigilante:



We need to send these ideas to the game developers....

And Clint said he'd never make a comic book movie. 

[Dirty Harry Callahan]

Yep, that's the one 

Except it's not made by The Collective anymore, from what I understand.

I was re-watching the trailer, and ... are we sure they used Eastwood's current voice? It sounds pretty young to me  Not that Clint has an "old" voice, but he sure doesn't sound like he did 30 years ago.
Maybe they used audios clips from the film 

[Gant]

Thats exactly what I thought Americanbeauty.

When he says, "Is that tan Ford still parked across from the bank" it is definitely taken from the movie.  If you listen to how it is said in the movie, it is exact.

Anyway, I have been very excited about this game for awhile now.  Still looking for a solid release date.

It`s most likely that I won`t buy this videogame since I never buy them but I got to say that this one(the trailer anyway)looked pretty damn cool 

And I believe too that Harry`s voice is taken from the original DH-film but so wath.It worked beautifully.

Heard this game got canceled or put on hold at least. Anyone else heard that?

Collective staff cuts follow Dirty Harry 'transitioning'

Source close to Foundation 9 division claims 30 staffers laid off following abrupt stoppage of work on film license; Warner Bros. asserts development will continue at new studio.

In the seminal 1970 crime thriller Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood uttered one of his signature lines. "Do you feel lucky?" he asked a wounded bank robber looking down the barrel of his possibly empty .44 magnum revolver. "Well, do ya, punk?"

Today came word that the developer of the Dirty Harry game is feeling very unlucky indeed. This afternoon, GameSpot received word that The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment, is no longer working on the adaptation of the seminal Warner Bros. film. According to a source close to Foundation 9, approximately 30 Collective staffers were handed pink slips today after the studio was summarily pulled off the project.

Though a Foundation 9 spokesperson declined to comment on Dirty Harry's status, she did say an effort to "optimize" its suite of internal studios had led to staffing changes. "When this optimization leads to job loss at one studio, we make every effort to find a place for displaced employees at another of our studios," said the rep. "Foundation 9 is currently hiring for 40 positions in our studios across North America and is still in a state of growth with more than 30 projects in development."

The aforementioned source also told GameSpot the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment team managing the project had "been dissolved." However, newly installed WBIE senior vice president Samantha Ryan appeared to have a strong hand on the helm, proclaiming that a Dirty Harry game will be released...eventually.

"We are moving forward with the Dirty Harry next generation videogames and will be changing our development plans in keeping with the best interest of the franchise legacy," Ryan said in a statement. "WBIE is dedicated to creating a game that will bring Clint Eastwood's legendary Detective Harry Callahan character to the interactive space with a new story and great gameplay."

Ryan's other job as CEO of WBIE-owned Monolith Productions (F.E.A.R., Condemned) raises the prospect that her studio may take up the reins of Dirty Harry development. A source close to WBIE did confirm that the game is "transitioning" to another shop but did not disclose where the project was going.

They should set the game up at Rockstar. Now that'd be a Dirty Harry game worth playing. 

[Alcatraz]

Thanks for that.  And yeah that'd be cool.


By the way, who made those Dirty Harry/joker/the mask pics?

[Brendan]

I made the Joker picture and another member, Agent, made The Mask pic.

[Alcatraz]

Oh cool. I'm no good at that kind of stuff but I get curious. How'd you make that, what you use?

[Brendan]

Not sure about Agent (though I assume he used it too) but I used Adobe Photoshop.

Yes, Photoshop and ImageReady for the animated one.

[Alcatraz]

Ah, cool.


The Mask one reminds me of the villain from the movie.

[Bigtimefan]

There is limited info about this, I have read stuff on IMDB and would like to know if anyone has info on release date, game types etc.

[KC]

Bigtimefan, I've merged your post into the existing thread on this game. (Thanks to Conan for pointing us to the older thread.)

The Collective, the company that was making it, is not anymore so the project is up in the air, if it ever gets made.  Warners has said, however, that they still want to make it.

Has anyone heard anything regarding the Dirty Harry Video Game first reported by in 2005?
