CEO of Electronic Arts John Riccitiello has said that the company is planning on releasing its upcoming action title, The Godfather 2, in late 2008/early 2009.
According to reports, Riccitiello informed those attending the publisher’s recent investors conference that the upcoming movie adaptation would be hitting stores “a few months" after the launch of Left 4 Dead, which releases this November.
Little is known about the game at present, with EA yet to even divulge which platforms the title will be released on. Regardless, the general consensus is that the game will be hitting PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
Stay tuned.

You're not the only one, Altair-Assassin. Sometimes I still go back to it, even. Frankly, I played it more than I played Grand Theft Auto IV. I just wish the graphics were better than they were. I'm hoping for a good one on this. (Unlike most people, I don't hate EA or their in-house developers. As a publisher, EA is a good choice for any up-and-coming developer, because it has enough money to really push their product. Hating EA as a whole is lazy and narrow-minded, in my opinion, especially since EA development team is split between many studios--some good, some bad.)
Back to the topic at hand, I did find the first one enjoyable, sure it was a bit unoriginal because rather than having a separate storyline (a la Scarface: The World Is Yours--another fun game), it stayed parallel to the movie. But... with a movie as important as The Godfather, anything less than a faithful representation of the film would be shameful.

The first game was fun it kept me entertained and I love how they bring the movies into the game play. The first two Godfathers are perhaps the greatest movies ever made (I personally like the first one more. I always hate when Sonny gets killed). So I will be looking forward to this, but as some people already said EA is behind the game so they will mess it up somehow.

I enjoyed the first one, and was contemplating on getting it for the PS3. But lately since they started di(king around with m$ too closely, I decided that they already got too much of my money. They're not getting another dime out of me, regardless of what's coming out.
