New Line Cinema has acquired the rights for Gears of War film in March of last year, but an official date for the movie hadn’t been revealed until now. “We’ve got our script and a director we’re about to attach. We’ll hopefully make that early next year for the summer of 2010.” said Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey in an interview with Coming Soon.net.

 

Stuart Beatle, the man handling the script said Gears of War the movie will be an “enormous film”

Current PCs too weak for Supreme Commander 2

sc.jpgChris Taylor, head of Gas Powered Games, said current hardware is stalling his plans for the next entry in the Supreme Commander series.

 

Taylor said “I’ve been told by my engineers that for Supreme Commander 2, I don’t enough memory in a PC with 4Gb of RAM to have more factions.” He continued “We’ll return to the Supreme Commander universe again, but we’ll just have to see when that day is. Maybe when everybody has 64-bit processors…”

 

I guess we won’t be seeing a full sequel to the acclaimed RTS, and we have only technological progress to blame for that. And here I was thinking technology’s moving at an unbelievable pace.
