Movie Studio Buys Epic Games Says Silicon Valley
October 27th 2008 04:04
The evidence is becoming compelling as the rumours pick up speed. Variety have reported that Legendary Studios (makers of the prettily violent '300') are looking to aquire Gears Of War developers Epic. And as we already know, that the two are in partnership over the upcoming film version of Gears, meaning that the basis for the relationship has some solid foundations.
Microsoft have recently shrugged off a number of their development partners, preferring to keep the IP's and key staff for their own Microsoft Games Studios. Many might dismiss the news, thinking that such as important property couldn't be risked, but they thought the same about Bungie...
What we like the sound of is the link between Epic and the potential list of Movie related games that Legendary has on the books. You just know that Cliffy B would love a shot at Clash Of The Titans and Watchman. Cliffy has stated that there would be a few new properties for Epic and these look like a great start. For the sake of gamers everywhere, lets hope that this is the case, as it may mean that we actually get playable movie related games.
Superman: Man of Steel (2011)
Clash of the Titans (2010)
Gears of War (2010) (already an Epic tie-in)
Untitled 300 Sequel (2010)
Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
The Hangover (2009)
Observe and Report (2009)
Watchmen (2009)
Ninja Assassin (2009)
