EA whacks The Godfather II release plans, delays game

EA has revealed that The Godfather II won't be making its release later this month, stating that the game will instead arrive at retail during the company's Q1 fiscal period, between April and June '09. While curiously missing a press release announcing the delay (unlike the similarly delayed Sims 3 and Dragon Age), EA CEO John Riccitiello explained that the reason for Godfather II's delay was to generate more excitement about the title, and exercise the company's new focus on longer lead marketing.

It wasn't all marketing, however; the lingering effects of an unusually busy holiday season are also to blame. Says Riccitiello: "To be honest with you, we looked at the title, title feels very solid It will appeal to its audience well and it was likely to ship, as we had originally planned it, into a very cluttered, price reduced excess inventory channel both in North America and Europe in a heavy competitive environment. We didn't think it would get its best shot at success in [fiscal] Q4."

Let's hope the extra time spent marketing the game will give the devs at Redwood Shores some extra time to make the game as buzzworthy as EA is going tell us it is. More on this as it develops.

In a way, this is good news with the titles coming out this month and next.

Agreed. Summer is always a slow time for video games, perfect time for them to release this game.

My wallet thanks them for delaying the release. Plus, its going to be tough enough finding time to play Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Killzone 2, The Show '09, and Resident Evil 5. **whew**

Kind of but I was really looking forward to this game hitting this month.

Especially since I watched all three Godfather movies in the last month.

LOL! Only versions that I had were PS2 and XBOX, and then when it came to the 360. I never touched the Wii, PSP, or PS3 versions though.

I thought the Wii as well? lol

When the commercial for Godfather said own the territories, own all the families, own them all. Gears took it literally. lol

LOL! No, I didn't buy the Wii or PS3 versions. I was tempted to get the PS3 one at the time, but was a good boy and didn't.
