Schindler’s List. Saving Private Ryan. Jaws. Boom Blox.
Yeah, when I first heard about Steven Spielberg’s upcoming EA game for the Wii I didn’t think it fit in with his accomplished line of work either.
But, I guess most of the GDC attendees were just as curious (and hopelessly optimistic) as I was, as the line for the Boom Blox seminar was the longest one I had seen all week. I also think the rumors circulating about Spielberg making an appearance also had something to do with it (sadly, he did not show up, what with a little movie called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on his plate).
So, what did I think about the game after hearing EA Vice President Louis Castle talk about it for an hour? Did my confusion turn to excitement or wave its fist in anger? Hit the jump for a summary of the lecture and the ridiculously short hands-on I got with the title everyone is talking about.
