Half-Blood Prince videogame

by Dave

So, now that the movie has been delayed, what does this mean for the videogame?  Apparently nothing.  Some footage was shown at the Lepzig Games Convention (YouTube link here) in Germany over the last couple of days, and the release date is still slated for this November.  The link is worth a look just to see the graphics engine at work…if you’re in to that kind of thing… 

Why might this be significant?  The games are licensed to the developer, Electronic Arts, via Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.  Up to this point, the games have drawn quite a bit in terms of plot and visual style from the movies.  They are certainly not one-to-one adaptations, but they have been close enough in the past that I’m a bit suprised the game has not been delayed alongside the film — especially since WB has their hands in both. 

Just a note — be on guard for potential spoilers for the film if the game stays on track for its November release.
