Sony Responds to Microsoft’s LithGoW Announcement with… LithGOW?
by Dan Landis on April 24, 2008
Shorty after Microsoft announced what is sure to be the greatest game of all time, Sony (in typical Sony style) announced it’s very own videogame rip-off of someone else’s idea. We present to you now — LithGOW.
We were shown just that first piece of concept art because Sony only recently found out about Microsoft’s LithGoW. A Sony rep helps explain the difference between the two games:
“Our new title, LithGOW, is a God of War game, but we have replaced Kratos with John Lithgow. This is completely different from Microsoft’s game. You’ll notice that the “O” in “LithGOW” is capitalized in our game, not only to differentiate between the two games, but to show that our game is better. I don’t know what you’re insinuating, but we’ve had this idea well before Microsoft did. We really wish they would stop copying our strategy.”
I once again had a chat with John Lithgow to hear his thoughts on the new game:
“This is a really exciting time for me. I was contacted by Sony roughly 15 minutes after your story broke on Ripten, and some reps came to my house to take some pictures. Wait… [a voice is heard in the background] What’s that? [more background voices] Oh, I meant to say that we’ve been in talks with Sony for quite a while now, and they offered me a huge amount of money– err, opportunity– to star in their new game… which I still have no idea what it’s about.”
It’s nice that PS3 owners aren’t left out in the cold with no John Lithgow game, but it remains to be seen which game, LithGoW or LithGOW, will be the ultimate in John Lithgow awesomeness. We’ve been promised review copies, so we’ll let you know.
