I just read this in EGM, here's the exact article:
Electronic Gaming Monthly, April 2004, Issue 117:
Page 66 from The Rumor Mill, by the Q-Mann
Digital Godfather
Take EA Games' ability to churn out quality licenced games and its lack of an entry in the burgeoning mafia/gangster genre, and it's not hard to believe this next rumor. If what the Q hears is correct, the company is planning a title based on Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 epic film, The Godfather, (and its sequels). Sounds interesting...
I dunno about the rest of ya, but that sounds like it could actually work. EA did an excellent job with the Lord of the Rings games, there's no reason they couldn't do The Godfather justice. Also, it'd probably be much better than the subpar console versions of Mafia. Any thoughts?
"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis

That would be awesome, i've been thinking of a way you could have the godfather as a video game and it could turn into something amazing. Keep me posted.

this is a horrible idea. the movie was about drama, not action. there would be nothing to do in the game....talk to people to figure out clues as to who the traitor is? they would have to make it an action game that basically has little to do with the real plot and is not a very good game.

We don't know that at all. Let the game come out and then pass judgement. One aspect of playing the game can be this : Your father is shot and now you must take over the family business and try to run things, make money, control your regimes, keep them loyal, fight a war, make the peace, etc. I think that if it is carefully made, it can be a very interesting game.

I guess it would have to be an RTS...

I get Entertainment Weekly, and they had about a paragraph about EA's plans to make The Godfather, yup. It's all true. No details though.
You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy; he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.

it is a terrible idea they're going to ruin the Godfather saga, they'll RUIN it, but what do they care right? they're in it for the money it'll probably be a crappy game like gta, though I hope it isn't
