EA boots The Godfather out of the family? |
Ó
Someone must've forgotten to call Paramount Digital Entertainment, because their rep replied, "Plans for the next Godfather game have not been decided." So now it seems that Gibeau must've slipped a word-misuse that lead to a different meaning than the one he intended. According to this email sent to the Los Angeles Times by an EA publicist, "We do not currently have a Godfather game in development," she said. "Nothing has been decided as to future sequels. Paramount is a great partner."
EA has already dropped major licenses like this one before - James Bond went to Activision back in 2006, and The Lord of the Rings: White Council got halted in 2007. With a lackluster sales performance for Godfather II (Xbox 360, PS3) since its release, it's likely that Godfather's non-publishing could get finalized in a bad way.

I didn't care much for this game.
I'm surprised that EA greenlighted a 2nd one, as it is. This looks like a pretty-chump game to me, and it certainly didn't get rave reviews (1 or 2). ...Maybe EA pressed-on with two because all of that effort that the creators did with add-on content paid-off a bit. (And they thought they wouldn't mind catching a little more lightning in the bottle.) Gotta' say that's a pretty stinging slip-of-the-tongue, though. If EA's Pres said that, I'm sure it's what they've internally been thinking (already decided). Big OOPS on not informing their "partners" at Paramount, first. :-)
To me the game looks uninteresting. The movies are ok but who on Earth would think of making a game about this. Most people that are interested in the movies are not game players. Maybe they thought that it would be a hit like the GTA series or something, but it looked like a major fail from the beginning.
I Enjoyed these games, sure the gfx where slightly dated but the game was still fun if you like GTA style games. I guess less and less people like fun games these days sigh.
I think EA was on the right track, but the team they put on these games just wasn't very good. They were still fun to play and had the right idea tho. And I'm not rly a huge gfx whore if the game is fun to play, but the graphics in the Godfather games are almost unacceptable lol Whatever, Mafia 2 is coming out. Nuff said
One can only imagine how awesome the Godfather franchise would be under the reigns of Bioware, or Bethesda
