EA moves Godfather II forward, now releasing on February 27th

Electronic Arts announced yesterday that it would be releasing Godfather II in March, although now they have told us that it will be released on February 27th. Inspired by the film and Mario Puzo's Corleone family drama, The Godfather II game goes beyond the film's story by setting players in the world of organized crime in 1960's Florida, Cuba and New York. As the head of the family, players can build a crew and grow their family in an effort to become the most powerful mob syndicate in America.

february 27th hahahahaha is this a sick joke????

i think that MS has something to do with this :P all the games releasing feb 27th against killzone 2, but remember killzone 2 is releasing feb 25th here in europe :)

[crimsonfox]

haha preach!!!

[yoghurt]

27th in the UK, and it can't come soon enough I tell you!

however, do need to play through KZ1 on my ps3 and liberation on my psp first to get with the story

[Eiffel]

I'd like to see one article without the mention of Killzone 2.

Well at least you're advertising.
Unlike S..

Almost had a fanboy moment, I stopped myself..

If godfather 2 doesn't follow the storyline of the original classic then i wont be picking up this game....from the looks of it either EA didn't watch the movie or they just think the name of the game is gonna sell it and they can do whatever they want because godfather 2 has nothing to do with rising in the ranks to become the most powerful crime syndicate per say, it has to do with who the heck betrayed Michael Carleone and how his dad went from a kid to being a DON! This is what should be in godfather 2 anything else is a knock off of the movie which I do not support.

I don't understand this February 27th release date. That's a Friday. Games in the U.S. are rarely released on Friday. Most of them are shipped out Monday or Tuesday.

[No]

That's a hard choice which game do i get Kill Zone 2 or Godfather 2?.............Godfather 2 it is.

[Pennywise]

Being you only have a console that plays GF2... Smart choice.

[BrianC6234]

This one is easy for me since I already paid for my copy of Killzone 2 in full. I know you weren't serious though.

At least we're seeing more games out in slow periods though. Time for publishers to stop dropping all their games on us at once. I'm sure a lot of gamers will eventually get around to some of the games that didn't sell well at Christmas. Nobody can afford to buy every game at once.

EA are mental.

[InMyOpinion]

I won't be bothered with EA's other titles for a while when I get Skate 2.

[Hellsvacancy]

I probably wont bother with another Ea game untll Dead Space 2 to arrives

[InMyOpinion]

Not even with Fight Night Round 4? =)

[liquidsnake]

Well, after have put 60$ on Goof father 1 on PS2, I'll rather cut my on left hand off than buying this.

[Raoh]

LMFAO

i take it microsoft plans on a big godfather 2 marketing push

[creeping judas]

I don't knwo where this site is getting their info, the official release was to be Feb 24th. Still a bad date considering what is coming in 3 days after the 24th.

[mll09]

I wonder...Killzone 2 or Godfather 2?

You know what, I think I'll get Killzone 2.

[Sasanova]

no way....WOW WHAT THE F IS GOING ON!??

[andron]

The game might be good, but the use of the Godfather license doesn't mesh with me.

The first one wasn't very good either, but I guess some will buy it because of the license...

[BlackCountryBob]

Mirrors Edge and Dead Space were ace but got swallowed up by the other xmas games and had much lower sales; why put a seemingly low quality game in direct competition with something very very high quality and high publicity like KZ2; its not like there are many other AAA games due in March or April that also need to be avoided.

Maybe FNR4 will go head to head with Resi 5!

[Blasphemy]

I am guessing they hope that people will pick up Killzone 2 and Godfather 2 on the same day...

[Helghast Slayer]

Wow pretty dumb move considering it has to go against SF4 and Killzone2. This is blasphemy, wait more like suicide. It just had to be released on the 27th right? Hmm my microsoft scum alert is going of again.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Where the hell are you people getting Microsoft? This title is EA and has nothing to do with MS. You think the entire industry is going to stop because KZ2 is coming out on the PS3? LMFAO The game is multiplatform there is zero reason why MS would give 2 sh*ts about Godfather 2.

My fanboy bullsh*t detector is going off.

[kosovo]

bravo EA
good marketing strategy.
when people go to K2, and they see GF2, they would be tempted to get the 2.
but the sales are going to be K2:GF2 = 4:1
