"The Godfather cancelled"

I know this hardly effects us because it was never going to be any good. But EA's Godfather game has been cancelled on the Gamecube, DS and GBA and will now hit the PS2, X-box, PSP and PC.

Shame.

I think EA's view of Nintendo's market is the issue here. Reflected in the fact Cube isn't getting it but Xbox/PS2 is.

I'd imagine it's more to do with EA not being bothered to develop an entire new version of the game to work on the DS platform.

Remember the game needs not just graphically changing.

EA will develop totally new games for the DS, Godfather can stay on the PSP if all it'll be is a dumbed down version of the home console title.

Weather it is a good game or not will make no difference. It will sell well none the less.

About this one game I don't give a crap.

About EA obviously seeing this as "too adult" for GBA/Cube and - most worryingly - the DS, I do.

The lord of the rings games are crap.

it'll be crap, i'll give you money if it's any good.

And to roll out the old argument:

Game not out yet.
Game not been played yet.
How can game be bad?
ARE U PZYKIK?


Enough. I'm bored.

Played The Third Age over later Dec and early Jan it was a quality sidestory to LOTR despite being entirely composed at EA.

Dringo got it wrong.


It's bound to sell well, despite being rubbish.

EA have always been okay, just not the company that's developing this license.

Take it you haven't played EA's licenses.
