The move comes after long months of negotiations in a competitive environment with the streamer nabbing the media rights and partnering with The Coalition, the Canadian game developer behind the franchise. It also comes on the 16th anniversary of the game, which was originally released on Nov. 7, 2006.

Netflix has grand ambitions for the title and a plan that includes first adapting the video game saga into a live-action feature followed by an adult animated series. If everything turns up roses, more stories would follow.

No filmmakers or producers are attached to the multi-adaptations, with the video game franchise getting a fresh start after several big-studio attempts.

With over 40 million copies sold across six installments plus spin-offs, the franchise is considered one of gaming’s richest and well-regarded sagas with a passionate fanbase.

Hollywood has been trying to get in on the Gears action since 2007 when New Line briefly nabbed the rights. The Netflix deal must be particularly satisfying for film head Scott Stuber, who was attached to produce an adaptation when he was an independent producer in the mid-2010s. That iteration was set up by Universal but never got past the screenwriting phase.

So, the Universal film is dead, but Netflix has nabbed the rights now, that's sort of expected, it's all about these streaming services now and Universal's streaming service is fucking Peacock which is awful.

Looking forward to the adult animated series, a bit worried about a feature length film on a Netflix budget, Lol.



The film will be trash but the animated series will probably be ok if it’s adult focused.

Animated series has a high chance of being good Imo, Netflix has quite a few - Arcane, Castlevania, Dota: Dragon's Blood, Edgerunners which are all great.

The film though, I don't have high hopes for Netflix films, Lol. It will have to be pretty high budget and I don't think Netflix will put the money in, we'll see.

Finally done with Persona 5 Royal (95 hours).

Created all the persona possible on the first run (except the 1 new game plus one), got my whole room decorated, got all the confidants on rank 10, thieves den completed for like 95%, collected all requests and defeated the extra boss.

At the end I had the Persona Lucifer/Yoshitsune and Satan.  With abilities as Immunity against elemental attacks/Repel physical attacks/Spell master (Spells cost 50-75% less Sp) etc I was basically invisible.

Music ranged from okay to some great tracks, worst offender because I was a huge fan of the path has opened (rank 10) in 3 and 4:  (spoiler free example of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tH7BpqINSI)

Story: Overall it was fine, for like every great moment their were like 5 fine moments, Glad they had an fast forward option. Plenty of the characters also got annoying fast.  Basically it goes like this New arc => New character => arc is finished and the character only exist to remind me he/she is an phantom thieves and to send me every few days a message to remember me about the objetive...

Gameplay: Mixed about it, because for every hour I explored/Fought I had 2 hours of story, it breaks the flow of the game for me. Also the SMT franchises needs to come up with more Persona. Basically every game starts with you fighting a Pixie and at the end you will get some angels/gods....

Before I played this I thought this would probably be the persona game for me but instead I think it will always be 3 or 4 that comes on top.


The Biggest PLUS the game deserves is the amount of detail. When you for example would go around Xmas fishing you will see that the seller wears some Xmas themed clothes. It is something that 99,9% of the gamers will not see but still they cared about putting it in the game and so their are 1.000 of hidden details we all missed;


Anyway will give the game an 8/10.


Bonus:   - Initially they wanted to implement an confidant progress block situation if you did not go out with that character for some time (the hangouts were a way to fix it but they cut it out of the game and I am happy about that).

- Also normally at the beginning of the game you would not have been in leblanc but the MC had to live in a appartement with Sae.  






I really want an animated Elder Scrolls show, maybe as an anthology, not following any of the games but some of the book stories inside the game itself.

For example, a story about a hero facing a dragon to save their village, another about a regular citizen messing with a Daedric Prince and the consequences (can do many stories on this since there's so many Princes), a story revolving around the Thieves Guild and one for the Dark Brotherhood, a story about the Argonians vs Oblivion Gates (Because that was awesome), Battle of Red Mountain, etc. Stories across the First Era to the Fourth.

Sadly couldn't play a lot today and tomorrow doesn't look much better.
At this rate I doubt I will complete Persona 5 before the weekend.
