Electronic Arts serves up some information on the upcoming games in their
collaboration with Steven Spielberg, revealing one title will be available on
PCs, an action/adventure that currently does not carry a release date. Word is
the game "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." Here's the whole
shebang:
LOS ANGELES, CALIF., July 10, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ: ERTS) 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.”
As an exclusive for the Wii™ from Nintendo, the first of the two projects will
allow for players of all ages to compete in over a hundred challenging,
action-packed interactive games that take blocks to a new level of creativity
and fun for single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Additionally, use the Wii
remote to build your own fun games and structures or turn the same Wii remote
into a destructive tool to bring them crashing down.
The second, and more ambitious project in development, 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. No ship timeframe has
been disclosed.
“Through our partnership we are delivering games that are not only engaging and
compelling with interactivity, but we hope can also move people emotionally,”
noted Young.
“I am truly enjoying the creative collaboration and we hope that gamers will be
as excited as we are about what we can bring to the medium through our shared
vision,” added Spielberg.

It looks like Wii owners get fucked in the ass, while next-gen console gamers get something that might actually be worth playing. Blocks?? WTF.
I realize that Wii isn't seen as a serious console by most developers/publishers, but all the kiddy bullshit is why I won't be buying one any time soon. There's Zelda and Resident Evil 4 and... nothing else for semi-serious gamers.
Sorta off topic... but fucking blocks?!?
