The Godfather fans campaign to remake the 2006 video game

Ah, nostalgia is such a sweet thing. Given that it’s January, you may be thinking about the year ahead and all of the game releases it holds. From time to time though, it’s nice to sway away from the latest AAA releases to take a trip down memory lane.

Speaking of nostalgia, theSilent Hill 2remake is due to release this year. Take a look at the trailer below.

Admittedly,The Godfatherisn’t a game I sampled in 2006. I was likely too busy playingThe Sims 2 PetsorNintendo: Dalmatian & Friends. In retrospect though, I can appreciate what a gem it was. Well, as with many favourites of yesteryear, fans are keen to see it remade or remastered, with one going as far as creatinga petition.

He continued, “This is nothing but iconic. An extremely underrated game that everyone loves. Even the second game was amazing along with the second (and third, in my opinion) movie being just as good. The fans want it. We’ve been calling for it for years and now is the perfect time to do it. A Definitive or Remastered edition. Just as Hangar 13 did withMafiaand look how amazingly that turned out. Paramount. Francis. Viscera. WHOEVER.”

The petition was actually set up back in 2020 but continues to find support from fans, with signatures landing as recently as this week as the petition nears its goal. “It needs to happen,” read one comment. “I played the game for 80 hours, restarted it three times, an absolute masterpiece,” added another. While this petition may not lead to a remake, it certainly is important in showing how much appetite there is for the idea.
