Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 This could either be really good or really bad or just be ok: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...dia_eastwood_dc "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a.44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?" Here is the press release:Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Clint Eastwood's Malpaso and The Tehama Companies have announced an agreement to produce video games based on the "Dirty Harry" film franchise, introducing the legendary character "Dirty Harry" Callahan to the interactive world for the first time on next generation consoles. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is currently overseeing development of the first installment of the game franchise, with Academy Award® winning director, producer and actor Eastwood consulting on key creative aspects of the game design. Eastwood will also lend his voice and likeness to his renowned role of police detective Harry Callahan. "This will be an opportunity to satisfy the many requests over the years to continue the 'Dirty Harry' legacy, only now in the video game medium," said Clint Eastwood. "Creating 'Dirty Harry' video games will also introduce this memorable film character to new generations on a medium they appreciate." "Warner Bros. has enjoyed a remarkable and long standing partnership with Clint Eastwood, and creating videogames based on 'Dirty Harry' will continue our mutual goal of capturing new story-telling and market opportunities for this acclaimed film franchise," said Alan Horn, President and COO, Warner Bros. "Barry (Barry Meyer, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros.) and I are excited about Clint's guidance and direct participation in bringing 'Dirty Harry' into the interactive space as it further reinvigorates the franchise." "Mr. Eastwood is both an incredible performer and an amazing creative talent, and it is an honor to work with him to bring the 'Dirty Harry' franchise credibly to the video game space," said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "The character and content of the 'Dirty Harry' films perfectly lend themselves to telling new and compelling stories to both established and new gameplaying audiences."

Z-Neo Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Wow...I wonder if it will be a 3rd person, maybe like True Crime: Streets of LA, or a FPS type. Either way, I have a bad feeling it'll turn out mediocre at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeval Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Is WB the company that's doing the "ratings based pay" system? This looks interesting. We'll see how respectfully they treat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 As long as EA isn't involved then things might go OK. Clint Eastwood is thoroughly involved in the game so I don't think he'd risk his reputation and release a crappy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 he might not no the difference between a good game and a crappy one :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 He'll surround himself with people who do. And he'll kill whoever is responsible for screwing it up. You don't flock with Clint Eastwood and get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
