The Godfather II - Image 1The Godfather may be the boss of the mafia, but he still answers to a bigger boss - his publisher! Despite his swagger and thug-smoking powers, Electronic Arts remains his real Corleone, and according to EA Games' president Frank Gibeau, "We're not going to do another one." After getting rescued by EA Games after his old family, Brash Entertainment, went out of business, the Godfather may need to go look for another family for publishing.

Console Star Wars MMO Looks like console MMOs are becoming the trend. Electronic Arts has confirmed that console versions of Warhammer Online and the recently-announced Star Wars: The Old Republic are under consideration. Sounds like a very solid "maybe."

Tiberium - Image 1Electronic Arts has confirmed to Kotaku that development for Tiberium has ceased. Yep, the Command & Conquer FPS title that's been scheduled for release on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC will never see the light of day. And why is that? Because it did not deliver the appropriate level of quality given the resources and time put into it.

Army of Two - Image 1Reuters reports that Electronic Arts has decided to delay Army of Two to early next year. Army of Two was originally slated for a November 15 release for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 home video game consoles.

According to the Reuters reports, EA said that more time is needed to polish the game. EA Games head Frank Gibeau was quoted in a statement saying, "Army of Two has potential to become a lasting EA franchise -- so getting the first title right is essential."

"It's an important game for them if they hope to establish it as a franchise," said Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. "It shouldn't have much of an impact, but the market always seems to assume the worst about the company."

EA Confirms Godfather II in development - Image 1 


The Don is looking to make a second coming as Electronic Arts has confirmed during a recent shareholders meeting that it is currently developing Godfather II. While this was already expected, it was never really confirmed by EA until recently.

"Adult-centric" games on consoles have been a point of debate across the industry recently so it was only natural that a question was posed in the said meeting regarding how the company plans to handle the more mature, edgier titles.

EA Games Label President Frank Gibeau was called upon to answer the aforementioned question and gave this rather interesting comment:

The appeal of those types of games is growing as the demographics start to open up for that older demographic. We make products like Godfather 2, Army Of Two, Crysis - a lot of products that appeal to that older customer.


So far, no specific information on launch dates or platform releases for Godfather II have been given. But rest assured that when the news breaks, we'll be giving you more updates. So the Don is back and he's making an offer we all can't refuse.

NEW LOTR video game fom EA coming soon - Image 1Now we know why EA is asking everybody about what they want from a video game console...

As you all know, The Lord of the Rings series of video games on consoles is being handled by Electronic Arts (EA). If you happen to like those games, you might be delighted to know that the publisher just signed a new license with the film company New Line Cinema, thereby assuring the extension of the partnership.

EA's Executive VP and general manager of North American publishing Frank Gibeau is quite excited as he quipped, "The Lord of the Rings is an incredible canvas to create epic games. We look forward to our next project with New Line Cinema and Tolkien Enterprises scheduled to ship in 2008."

Furthermore, EA slipped in an exciting development saying that an all new LOTR title is coming up. The publisher wouldn't divulge any information on what platform it will be released on (or platforms, for that matter), or when the new title will be released. "We have a long history of making great games with EA and are thrilled to extend our longstanding relationship," remarked David Imhoff, New Line's Senior Exec. VP of Worldwide Licensing and Merchandising.

The list of current LOTR video games from EA includes:
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II (PC, 360)
  • The Lord of the Rings: The White Council (360, PS3)
  • The Lord of the Rings: Tactics (PSP)
