Collective staff cuts follow Dirty Harry 'transitioning'

wasn't this game cancelled??? :(

The movies awesome but the video game dirty harry for the NES is boring.

I hope this game wont be PS3 only... otherwise then I'll have to get one :P

wow no 1s seen dirty harry no love for clint eastwood

Never saw the movie? That's insane. I'm glad they're rethinking it before getting too far, buy that sure sucks for the laid off people. I foresee other delays in this game's future too--sadly because of a certain person's age. Maybe not though.

Never saw the movie, hope it's a good game.

30 employees... gosh that sucks.. Well... as long as it comes out sometime in the future. And doesn't suck ass. Yeah, that especially.

30 people got let go and Foundation 9 isn't helping any of them find another job at any of there studios. This lay off affected not only people working on DH but key people who were developing the other 2 titles they were working on. I doubt that Collective will be around much longer.

here we go a movie being made in to a game. i bet it is going to be thrilling. will it be worth a rent from gamefly. i cant just see this game it will take you back to the 80s allright all the way back to the 8bit nintendo will this movie in to video games ever end. i am laughing dirty hairy video game s.o.s.

Well, that did not "make my day"

They must make this game good. Please guys make this game so unbelievably good that its open ended and everything. SOmethign that can last and be added on too with huge world maps of cities and cleaning up justice, we can't have it just cutscenes please, or just release a cutscene movie instead.

how desperate are sony shesh this will be soo awful i guarantee ir

Wanna see the character the Dirty Harry was based on, go see the best movie so far this year. Zodiac, it was awesome. Here's hoping the Dirty Harry game still gets made cause it will be awesome too.

What the hell went on in those studios? Anyway, as a fan of the movies, I hope this game turns out to be good.

I liked the movie, I hope the game is at least decent.

I cant wait for this game. ^_^ Clint Eastwood=GOD

It's good to hear that it's still in the works. Older gamers like myself grew up on the Dirty Harry/Eastwood and Bronson films. I wasn't born for most of them, but the legacy of those films was huge in the late 70's/early 80's. Obviously a lot of gamers around my age (34) will want a piece of this, so it should sell well. I'm sure they're mostly hoping to intoduce these films to the younger generation of violent happy youths :-D Some good $$$$$ potential for them, I just hope it is properly developed so we could see some games made around other classic hits of yesteryear!

Hope this game wont suck....

I wonder if this game will be like most games based on movie or TV licenses? It seems when a company gets a license, they spend more on the rights than they do on development. I know having the 007 license (for example) makes money regardless of how good or bad the game is just because it has 007 in the title.

not bad at all

jesus - this game is gonna blow like everyone else. or maybe it'll never coem out like Duke Nukem Forever

I hope this game doesn't suck.

Come on for wii aswell!

Whichever... a good Dirty Harry game would be good for everybody, but one can't have high expectations on things like this. Remember that Scarface game? I'll wait on the verdict before I lay my $60 down.

Damn, I hope the new studio is as skilled as the last. I'm not saying The Collective are as godly as Kojima and his team, but they made some decent games. I've been waiting for this Dirty Harry game for a while now. I'm a big fan of the movies, and I reckon it will translate well to a videogame. Especially since Eastwood himself is doing the voiceover.

Paultiscali; I remember seeing this on more than the occasional 360 movie demo disk as well, no doubt some of the fanboy masses will use this as an excuse to blame Gamespot of further anti-PS3 bias... "You only mentioned the PS3 version when they've delayed the 360 version as well.... Sont pwn, Sony forever" ertc., etc.,

Annoying, I rather enjoyed The Collective's take on Buffy and their Wrath Unleashed effort.

wizardps2 if i recall this game is due out on the xbox 360 aswell.

Give the development to EA they will do it great!! and make it just for the PS3 The other punks cant have a nother story buy Harry is going to kick ass on the PS3 But MAKE THE GAME Harry has millions of fans

I hate corporate crap like this. Rich people play with people jobs/lives on a daily basis... ruling with an iron fist... firing... re-hiring... and firing you for no reason other then they feel like it. JOB SECURITY IS A THING OF THE PAST AND IT PISSES ME OFF!!!

I hope the developers will be more "lucky" with their neext project.

dirty harry was awesome back in the day but a video game...dont know...maybe if they added the orangutan...lol

o well

I thought this game would be good :(

Thats too bad. But actually it might have been good because games based off of movies usually never do too well.

I'm not sure they should even bother with this game anymore. Changing developers in the middle of the games development could cause problems.

This sucks, All I can hope is they can resume it. I really want to play this game.

This could turn out to be an awesome game with Monolith (one of the best developers of all time IMO) at the helm. Gotta keep praying to those gaming gods...

well there goes another PS3 title

That sucks for The Collective. Though I wasn't that interested in the prospect of a Dirty Harry game to begin with, I felt The Collective could have done it well.

I hope Monolith productions takes the game on, fear and condemned are exellent games.

I didn't even know about this game.

First comment yay!

that's a shame

Doesn't really matter, odds are this game won't be that great as is common with licensed content. Either that, or it will be fine, but just a generic action game with "Dirty Harry" stamped on it.

Oh well, at least it's coming out sometime.
