Yup, is no joke. After so many years The Godfather will have a video game for all systems.

Looks like EA wants to be like Rockstar.

there is no way you can combine EA and The Godfather and make a bad game.... no way I tell you

EA is making an offer you can't refuse

Saw the world premiere on Spike TV's "Video Game Awards" show, if they do it right, this could be an excellent game.

Actually there a rare instances where you can combine EA with anything and have a good game. They're notorious for being buggy.

Really?
What game?

Who can you play in the game?

Sounds good.

I think this game will become the next GTA. Or it will head down the hill fast.

The Godfather.




I was about to create a thread, but I guess I'v Been Beat.

Read the Preview and Hands on, Looks really intresting and "broad"

And For Plastation 2 un PC graphics They look AMAZING.

The Animation is beautiful, They ALmost perfectly re-created the scence from the movie.

They are even using the Actores from the Original Movie!

Even if Marlon brando is not in there, theya re still using his voice from the film.

Yeah, I heard they got his voice for the part of the game right before he died.

But Francis Ford Coppola has said he wants nothing to do with it.

Have you guys even seen the trilogy? The Godfather is on acompletely deeper level than any other gangster franchise, I don't see it working, especially with EA involved. they've got the money but they also have a sincere lack of imagination.

It should'nt be done.

I have seen the entire Godfather Triology.

The first movie is the best.

Lack of Imagination!?

in No Way. No Way, I trust EA on this one, GO WATCH the Devlopper Interview 1

No lack of anything, I entirly trust this game, and Will be the first to buy come its release.

(The Movie is at the bottom of the page)

The problem is that your not entirely following the story of the Godfather. Your just some underling, who eventually works there way to the top so there. That eliminates any hope of the game being as deep, since it doesn't even follow the Corleone family.

Wrong, Your there for the major plot outlines, Everything is intermingled.

Sure its not "As deep" But name me one Game besides HL that is.

There challenge was To amke a Godfather Game, Not change or invent anything outrageous, they are following the 1940ies Godfather World.

They have to stay with the Godfather tradition, AND add gamming elemental storyline.

The Game is not as Deep as The Books, But it is MUCH deeper then most.

This is all speculation. And how would you know if the game is deeper than most? It has yet to be released.

This is completely and entirely off topic, but WindDancer, I thought you weren't changing until January 1?

Watch all Devloper Interviews and movies, see for yourself.

I've watched the developer reviews, trust me I was elated when I found out the game was in production. then i heard EA were making it...

I mean why not just make a normal gangster game, why the godfather franchise? Hopefully the fad of making games of classic movies will wear out soon.

It's still speculation. Until you have the game in your hands, there is no way of knowing how deep it will be. Have you seen the number of moviess that have been turned into games? Almost all of them have sucked. So judging by that the Godfather might be the same way.

I even have high hopes Scarface but I'll concede that that game will probably suck too.

Becasue it will be endlessly compared to "Mafia"

They wanted to sue the franchise because they liked the story concept.

Probly invloves some copyright infrigments.

That is no basis for creating a decent game though.

Your Right, Theya re All Lying.

It all comes down to money.

Another GTA?

I doubt it

I'll reserve judgement until I actually play the game. It could be good, but who knows.

Might be a little late to bump this thread or even discuss with anyone,but stupid Dutch Release dates and a lack of money,made me decide(forced me)to wait till last Saturday to buy it.

I've only played about too hours,which in I've only progressed for 6,5% percent...I think,yet I have already come to the conclusion that I LIKE(note:like does not mean that I think it's better of quality than GTAA,I had some trouble with the camera,meh,Blackhand could've been done a little bit better,what am I whining about? )this game more than GTAA.Simply because it's THE GODFATHER.I like the atmosphere of the game more.I like bribing officers,and thrash stores to cash in on their illegal businesses.GTA doesn't do that for me...

I don't even know why I'm comparing them

I played it, and liked it, but not as much as GTA3. It's generally the exact same game, only with the timeline and characters from the movie. I give The Godfather a solid 8, Whereas GTA3 is 10. Say what you will, but GTA3 was innovational and one of the most scrutinized games in a long while. The Godfather just followed pace.
