In 2005, Warner Bros. Interactive announced they’d be releasing a game based off of theDirty Harryfilms, for the then next-gen systems, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In 2007, the game — in the hands ofSilent Hill: Homecomingdeveloper, The Collective — was then canned.
Warner Bros. has stated they still intend to release aDirty Harrygame with another developer, so fans of a wrinkly-old Clint Eastwood should sleep well. But it certainly won’t look like these screens, found in the online portfolio of an artist for Warner Bros. at the time of the game’s development.
The artist’s resume also lists work on a PlayStation 2 title Midway was developing calledThe Executives, a title which (as far as I know) was never announced. The game, also in development by The Collective, looks to have featured gangsters with huge guns, chicks with laser axes, low pants, and rock-hard nipples.
But back to Dirty Harry. While it’s a character that has inspired many a tough-guy-with-a-gun, I’m not so sure it deserves its own game. Especially when the market is already flooded with relatively solid third-person shooter titles. Would any of you guys be interested in aDirty Harrygame?
