In today's E3 feature, Frank Cifaldi examines the developer track lecture which looked at three of the major games being released later this year - EA's
The Godfather, Infinity Ward/Activision's
The Sequel To The Call Of Duty, and Ubisoft's
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
In an extract from the article, Frank argues:
"With his lightly starched blue blazer and silk tie, it's pretty obvious that Nick Earl has a pretty substantial position at Electronic Arts. And, in fact, he does, acting as both Vice President and General Manager. In a crowded conference room that ran out of seating long ago, Earl is speaking of the potential for The Godfather, EA's upcoming mobster game, obviously based on the book and movie.
"There's a real potential here to make this franchise popular with the younger generation," he said, emphasizing that the game is not necessarily aimed at someone with an appreciation of the film."
