Sons of Anarchy game 'dead'

Nothing good happens overnight in the game industry. I'm glad he gave up so easily. Del Toro has the patience and perseverance that's necessary. Obviously, this guy doesn't.

i've never even heard of this

Kurt hit the nail on the head.  "No interest" is right.

Might be a blessing in disguise for him. 

I must have missed the earlier stories about this, cause is the first I have heard anything about a SoA game.

I liked his enthusiasm about the idea though, nice try Kurt.

well considering nearly every movie/tv show game is a piece of s**t, I would say that this was a good move. It's a great show, you don't need anything else especially a mediocre half-ass video game.

well, personally i think this is a good move. The show is great and most games that are made after a movie/show turn flop anyways.

Never knew a game was being made. I never watched the show.

I guess since Lost and the Damned was so similar to this show, it would be kinda hard to make this an actual game without seeming like they are re-releasing the GTA version 

I liked Lost and the Damned (aside from the naked dude). Riding as a biker is a cool idea, something Road Rash proved years ago. I think Rockstar would have as good a shot as anyone of making it work.

I just don't see how the game could have been, well, much of a GAME.   GTA4's first expansion tried to follow this kind of storyline, and it simply didn't work well.  (Heh -- they even had Ron Perlman, pretty much in the same character... Makes me wonder if someone played the expansion and THEN copied the idea for a show...)

I said this yesterday in the news ( http://www.gamespot.com/news/kurt-sutter-wants-rockstar-to-make-sons-of-anarchy-game-6399213#generic_comments ), but Rockstar doesn't need to use other companies IPs and therefore pay royalties. It's not a big loss really.

I want games to come out that are based on fresh gaming experiences, not some game that's tied to a TV show IP and plays just like every game out there.

It would have just ended up as a cookie cutter game.

Rockstar is in a position now where it doesn't need anything but its own IPs.  The last time they did a game treatment on anything owned by someone else was The Warriors back in '05.  

Its just not good business sense to spend years and an untold amount of coding-hours on a product that you won't have complete control over.

Trippy. I just saw him the other day on X-play talking about how a SoA game would have worked with the game story line being parallel to the TV story line. Sort of like The Walking Dead game and the comics.

Good. The show is successful, it doesn't need a game.

The problem might be SoA has no targetted audience. If a majority of gamers don't watch FX, then they aren't going to get hyped for this. And if the show's majority of viewers just watch TV for entertainment, then they could care less for videogames.

Only a small minority, as it seems, would care for this tie-in to work; and that isn't something major publishers are looking for.

Besides, isn't Rockstar already busy with GTA5?

Less than 24 hours since he announced he wanted to do this, he's now saying he's scrapped the idea.

Well that's some dedication right there.

Would have turned out good if Rockstar had gotten involved; the Lost and Damned DLC for GTA4 was damn close to the show.

Yeah cuz games based on TV shows are always good right??

I say just incorporate That world into the next Title.. Gta 6 Sons Of Anarchy.. etc... Something along those lines.. the other mc's the cartel.. all of it could fit right in... Start out as a "Prospect" and work your way up... I would buy it... Good Crosspromotion for both..

One of the most overrated shows on television. Things always come together a little too easy. I compare the show and all their talk of a club to a group of boys with a clubhouse with a "No Girls Allowed" sign on the outsideWhen the show "raises" the stakes it only gets worse. Needs to be a little more grounded.

Would've been a great idea for GTA V DLC if not for the Lost and the Damned making it a been there done that kind of idea.

Good. TV shows shouldn't be come games.

R.A.G.E should be the perfect engine for the game .

i don't want this game, ever.

Good riddance.

This is actually a good thing, I love the show but just like game adapted movies usually suck, film and TV adapted games usually suck, I'm glad SOA won't be another one of these travesties......

That's no biggie for me, better than a really bad game being made just for the sake of it, the TV series is brilliant on its own, looking forward to the next season. I'm still wondering when it's starting back in the UK.

Not really sure this is a show that would translate as a game anyway.  Not saying there aren't gamers that watch it but I don't really think that there is a high demand for a game around it either.

hasnt there already been a game sorta like SOA called "GTAIV: lost and damned"?was close enough to the show IMO and was fun. i had enough bikers. 

What's that? I couldn't hear you over the fact that "The Lost and the Damned" is already far more interesting then your motorbiking show. 

I like this show but I don't think it would be worth doing a game for this show. I mean maybe a GTA:IV mod or something but I would think your best bet for something like this would be the Lost and the Damned expansion for GTA:IV.

SOA has a very exclusive audience... it's getting a little more interest these days, but with Breaking Bad ending, Walking Dead taking over and other shows like American Horror Story getting a lot of attention, the SOA "Biker" fans aren't enough.

lol he reached out yesterday and gave up today..... way to stick to your guns :P

fail.
