Steven Spielberg To Direct A Video Game



Quote From EA Site:

Electronic Arts Inc. today revealed the first details surrounding two of the three new original intellectual properties in development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) in collaboration with Academy Award® winning
director and producer, Steven Spielberg.


"I am a gamer myself and game development has always intrigued me,” said Steven Spielberg . “Now I've been able to jump in and do it, enjoying the creative collaboration with the EALA team on our first two games and I feel we have two incredibly unique projects in development.”


“Steven's vision as both a storyteller and a gamemaker makes partnering with him an incredible experience,” noted General Manager Neil Young . “Together we're making games that are unique and that we feel will each move the medium in their own way.”


The first Spielberg's Video Game will be exclusive for Wii from Nintendo.

And the second which is described by EA as "a more ambitious project" is a contemporary action-packed adventure that puts you in the leading role of an emotional journey where your actions tell the tale.

Set against the backdrop of an epic story, the game focuses on a touching and ever-changing relationship between you and a mysterious female character who holds the key to many futures.
The game is in development for PLAYSTATION ® 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC.

Mmmm. Will he get another award for this? Let's wait and see.

EA by the way is the distributor of NBA 2007, 2142 Battlefield, Command And Conquer: Tiberium Wars, and other great games.

@the philosophical bastard, well, everyone has a "kid" inside his heart. Sabi ko nga dun sa isa kong post, ang video game ay para sa lahat: lalaki, babae, bakla, bata, matanda, may ngipin o wala.

@conan_cat, yes! that's something anticipating. just imagining an award winning director, creating/directing a video game would surely thrill our minds. well, let's see if his talents will go beyond movies.
