360 - Gears of War - Epic was ready to scrap Gears multiplayer

Speaking to XLeague.TV back at Games Convention 2007, Mike Capps revealed that he was so unhappy with the multiplayer element of Gears of War that it was very close to being pulled from the game.

"I was going to cut multiplayer from Gears because I thought it wasn't coming together fast enough, right," said Capps. "The day before E3 I'm like 'no guys, it's not pulling together'. And they made it, they pulled it together, and then we won every award."

360 - Gears of War - Rare Questions Microsoft's Marketing of Viva Piñata

Viva Piñata developer Rare has questioned why its owner Microsoft decided to back Gears of War with such a high-profile marketing campaign, which left its own new franchise in the shadows last Christmas.

Software engineer James Thomas feels that the new family-friendly IP lost out to Epic's Gears of War, which enjoyed a much bigger marketing budget from Microsoft, helping it top the charts all over the world.

Gears of War Movie Could Be Cancelled

360 News from N4G | Gears of War

360 - Gears of War - Gears of War Movie Could Be Cancelled

A few months ago, IESB reported that Len Wiseman was in negotiations to direct the Escape from New York remake and also Gears of War.

The big news today, that started over at AICN, is that Len Wiseman will no longer be directing Escape and that Brett Ratner has replaced him.

The IESB contacted a source over at New Line, the studio behind the film, and was able to confirm the story which is no longer a rumor but instead 100% fact. Brett Ratner will take over directorial duties on the remake.

***UPDATE***: IESB later clarified with their source, the status of Gears of War. Yes, Chud, Len Wiseman is still on the project currently, but it doesn't look good, due to the budget concerns the studio has, New Line will most likely not be moving forward on this film.

Gears of War movie is "enormous"

360 News from N4G | Gears of War

360 - Gears of War - Gears of War movie is

Script writer Stuart Beattie spills beans on the film adaptation of Epic's shooter.

The Hollywood scriptwriter given the responsibility of penning the silver screen adaptation of Epic's Gears of War has said that movie will be an "enormous film."

Stuart Beattie, whose writing credits include Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, explained that it's likely the Gears movie will be shot entirely on green screen like 300.

"There's no way to build that world any other way, really," he said. "That's a huge world. It's a planet and it's a bubble and it's a building. It's an epic sci-fi war and an enormous film. To get it made at all, the only way to make it for a price is to be on a soundstage. But the game also has that look, which is really interesting, so I think it will dovetail really nicely."

360 - Gears of War - Silicon Knights Blasts Epic Games' Motion to Dismiss

Silicon Knights has filed a response to Epic Games' August counterclaim and motion to dismiss a case revolving around Unreal Engine 3 and Too Human, and blasted Epic's motion to dismiss with accusations of breach of contract, fraud and various other claims.

"Silicon Knights has... very clearly and sufficiently alleged that Epic has 'done much wrong.' Consequently, Epic's Motion to Dismiss should be denied," Silicon Knights said in its response to the motion to dismiss, "Under Epic's interpretation of 'operable,' it would be sufficient if Silicon Knights received effectively nothing in return for its payments under the Agreement (which is what, in reality, happened in this case, as set forth in the [original] Complaint)."
