DMann2003 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 I saw this mentioned in USA Today and I found this linkGodfather Video Game Announced Seeing as how "The Godfather" is my favorite film, the idea of playing a game where you get to rise up the ranks of the Corleone family sounds pretty frickin sweet.

El Psycho Diablo 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 Something tells me it's going to be heavily "influenced" by games like Mafia and GTA. With EA at the helm, I wouldn't expect much.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted February 4, 2005 I love the way that Brando was somehow coerced into signing his likeness away to EA and coming in to record voices for them before he died. "Shit, I'm on my last legs, there's gotta be some shit left in the world that I need to do… oh fuck yeah, I gotta go and be in a fucking Electronic Arts game!" Bizarre.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 We could be proven wrong, but I foresee a sales/quality divide on the scale of Enter the Matrix on the horizon for this one. Of course, I've been trained to automatically be skeptical of movie-licensed games, since there's maybe five or six in the last fifteen years that have even approached mediocrity.

Especially since he was always so opposed with playing the same character twice in a film. Sure, this isn't a film, but technically... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 I hope this comes off as a good GTA-style roam around. Mafia and the Getaway have left me dissapointed so far. I may be the only one, but I wanna see a Tombstone GTA-style game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Psycho Diablo 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 Mafia was great, but whoever did the console versions should be shot. The PC version is much, much better.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modern Man's Hustle 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2005 Those don't seem to be in game shots, rather cutscenes. SO helpful EA... I read somewhere that those were actual in-game shots. There's gonna be a pissload of load times on this thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 No, I'm sure those are cutscenes. They may use in game graphics, but they're not representative of gameplay at all. Thus, they are unhelpful. Unless you're a graphics whore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrokenTiger 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Bah, I love the Godfather trilogy to death...but personally I don't see this game fare better than Mafia (loved that game). On the other hand...will there be a cutscene of Sonny's dramatic death? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
