Spielberg joines forces with EA

Now that this next-generation allows games to be more cinematic (supposedly...zing!), EA has decided to combine their sweatshopping creative talents with Steven Spielberg to have the director work directly with EA's developers to collaborate on three upcoming games. Spielberg had this to say:

 

I have been playing EA games for years and have watched them master the interactive format. Having watched the game industry grow from a niche to a major creative force in entertainment, I have a great deal of respect for EA's understanding of the interactive format. I'm looking forward to working closely with the team in Los Angeles

 

Master the format? I wouldn't go that far. It would have been nice to see Spielberg team up with someone like Bungie. Probably too much red tape and politics for that though.
