Some Clues About Spielberg A Electronic Arts’ Game Projects

Electronic Arts has had the right sticky hook for bringing its gamers to this year’s E3 Media & Business Summit: it had just to unveil some facts about two of the game projects that the company is working at in a partnership with director Steven Spielberg, that the gamers’ appetite has surely been whetted.

Neil Young, the general manager of Electronic Arts Los Angeles, has not revealed all three games’ titles, but he however said that one of them would be an action puzzle game for Nintendo’s Wii. Called “PQRS”, the game lets players move around blocks in something that's "more of a puzzle game," but with a real-time physics engine and easy to pick up for the whole family. The game was said to have been inspired by the meeting director Steven Spielberg had with Shigery Miyamoto, the famous developer of the popular game “Mario”. This meeting was said to have taken place at last year’s E3 Media & Business Summit.

As about another title that Electronic Arts and Steven Spielberg has been preparing for their gamers, Neil Young has mentioned only its code-name. “LMNO” will be a game for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and it has been described as a contemporary epic action-adventure game focusing on a special relationship between the player and a non-playing character. The player will assume the role of a former special agent  which has a relation with a robotic girl.

Players’ interactions with the girl will decide what powers she develops and how she chooses to use them. According to Spielberg, "The challenge is, can the game have an emotional impact on players while they are actively manipulating the world?"

Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts teamed up for this project back in 2005, agreeing to work together to three video games. Spielberg’s popularity as one of the most important directors of our times alongside Electronic Arts seems to be the proper ingredients for making unforgettable games. 

Electronic Arts has now also promised to show at the E3 Media & Business Summit unrevealed projects.
