Sons of Anarchy game is getting 'no traction,' says Sutter

Sons of Anarchy creator/writer/producer/director/actor Kurt Sutter doesn't sound terribly hopeful when it comes to the video game adaptation of his FX cable television show. As it stands, the game is "getting NO TRACTION," Sutter tweeted earlier today, and that it "looks like our big publisher blew us off." Sutter went on to say that the project was not a priority for FX, and that he doubts it will happen.

After cautioning his followers that game development is an incredibly risky business, Sutter reiterated that he does not wish to "do a shitty browser game," giving AMC The Walking Dead Social Game as an example of what not to do -- "sorry @glenmazzara, show's awesome, game sucks." He also said that it was his responsibility as a gamer to release a quality product, "not some 1/2 promotional piece of shit like GOT."

Though he admittedly does not know what his options are at this time, Sutter did jokingly suggest a Sons of Anarchy edition of Monopoly as an alternative to a console title.

Sons of Anarchy getting a 'real' console title, rather than browser-based multiplayer

Kurt Sutter, the creator of the FX TV series, Sons of Anarchy, said a little while back there was a game in progress, based on the series' rowdy biker family exploits. It was set to be "a high-end browser-based" title, but a recent tweet from Sutter says that's all changed. Instead, FX and Fox have agreed to "do a REAL game. Console based. Not some slapcrap browser [multiplayer] thing," according to Sutter. He admits it'll take a long time to put together, but since the browser game "felt rushed and unsatisfying," he wants the property treated right.

That's good news for Sons of Anarchy fans ready for a full console experience based on their show. As for us, as long as Ron Perlman's Clay Morrow is playable somehow, we're happy with whatever SAMCRO-based experience we can get.

Sons of Anarchy creator in talks for game, likely browser-based

Jessica Conditt — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:30:00 EST

Kurt Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy the television series, is looking to become Kurt Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy the video game. Sutter teased a possible Sons of Anarchy video game from a "major gaming company" in a tweet today, writing that he is "soon to be taking meetings" for the project to "figure out costs, platform and timing."

Sutter clarified his realistic expectations a few minutes after the initial tweet, saying, "to do a quality platform-based game costs tens of millions and takes years. We're toying with the idea of a high-end browser-based game." We're not complaining one way or the other, as long as video game Jax looks exactly like Charlie Hunnam.
