Game News - The Godfather 2 Confirmed By EA Games Boss

   It didn't happen at E3, but a shareholder meeting is fine, too. At the latest such Electronic Arts bureaucratic gathering, EA Games head Frank Gibeau confirmed - more or less voluntarily - that a sequel to last year's The Godfather game is in development. According to a report on Gamasutra, Gibeau offered the Godfather 2 title as an example of future project targeted at older customers (alongside other games listed below), in response to a shareholder question regarding EA's attitude towards mature games:
"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."    Unfortunately, that's all he let slip, leaving us to guess the platforms for which The Godfather 2 might be released (probably all of them, except perhaps the Nintendo DS), and the release date. 2008, 2009?... Could be 2008, if they're still whipping their developers overtime hard enough.

   As a curiosity, Gamasutra recalls that The Godfather 2 game was also thought to be in development by a certain analyst, Todd Greenwald, after his visit to EA a while ago. Not that we needed a genius to figure out the obvious, even more so considering that the cinematographic trilogy was spread over - you guessed - three parts. So, to be continued.
