Electronic Arts - Image 1Recently we posted a bit of news regarding the Electronic Arts-Steven Spielberg collaboration for the Nintendo Wii. Both parties still won't reveal any game details, but GameDaily did manage to get a few new bits of info from EALA's Vice President and General Manager , Neil Young.

In our last post on this subject we mentioned some background details on the first of the three titles EA's cooking up with Spielberg. While the third title remains a mystery, Young revealed to GameDaily that the second title is "really not in [the Doug Church-produced game's] vein, and Lou Castle is producing that game." Castle is one of the co-founders of Westwood Studios and is one of those responsible for the Command & Conquer series.

It looks like the games are coming along nicely, too. Young said that the relationship between EA and Spielberg is "a very close collaborative relationship" and that "it's really wonderful spending time with him." We'll be keeping you guys posted as soon as more details emerge.

with Spielberg - Image 1Almost a year has passed since we caught a whiff of the news on the EA-Spielberg tandem. And while the duo have been pretty successful in being tight-lipped about it since then, the silence is now broken as the GDC provides for some new beans to spill on the mater.

Neil Young, EA's Los Angeles Studio Manager, revealed to GameDaily that two out of the three projects announced last year are actually undergoing development in the studios already.

The first one, what I can tell you is what you'd expect, sort of, from a Steven Spielberg production. Steven's stories are intimate stories that take place around huge world-changing events... sort of, big stories shown through the eyes of a small group. Doug Church is producing it.


As for the other project, Lou Castle is producing it. Young also let it slip that this is one of the projects they're building for the Wii. Now that the first of them beans have been spilled, we expect there will be more to come, so keep it posted here for more.
