It's been an up and down week for sequel news. First we find out that Dead Rising 2 might not come out for quite a while. And that was sad. But then Sam and Max got a second season. And that was good. Now, Gamasutra reports that The Godfather 2 is in development, and depending on your proclivities, this news is either really awesome or really irrelevant.
That said, beyond the simple fact that an EA rep used the title "The Godfather 2" in a sentence referencing some upcoming "mature" titles, nothing else is known.
Will Godfather 2 be a direct sequel to the first game and remain in the 1940's, or will it work as an adaptation of The Godfather Part II? If the latter is to be the case, will the player alternate between Michael Corleone in the 1950's and Vito Corleone in the 1920's like the film did? And, perhaps most importantly, will the developers find a way to explain the dreaded Hyman Roth and Dead Assassins Plot Holes (check the alt text if you don't know what I mean)?
These questions probably won't get answered for some time, but one thing is for sure: more Godfather games means more beetches to choke.

You pointed out my peeve though, the plot holes. There was a TNT adaptation of the film (I think it was TNT) that had the movies done in chronological order which was
Amazing.
Again, this is my opinion.
2. Alt text is the caption text that pops up when you hover your mouse over a picture for a while. In Firefox, you have to right click a picture, select "properties," and read it from there. In IE, you just hover over and read as much as you can before it disappears, then move your mouse off and hover back again.
3. Trust me, nobody else is going to comment about anything more important. The discussion stays HYAH.
I just wanted to point out that since Persona 3 came out, your avatar is even more gaming related.
I'd believe that Hyman Roth just fell ass backwards into luck with Pentangeli living.
Oh, and Godfather 2 > Godfather 1. But both were great films.
Francis, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever.

Fix-ed.
DrXym:
Even as someone who liked the first game, I have to agree with you. It wasn't exactly very Godfather-y, especially in the final mission where Michael decides (for no reason) that YOU, and no one else, are to kill the heads of the five families and Moe Green (who just happens to be visiting NYC).
Everyone else:
Your efficiency in quoting the Godfather has literally made me laugh out loud more than a few times.
