Video Gaming News - August 2004
Los Angeles, CA (August 10, 2004) - Vivendi Universal Games announced
today that Scarface will be featured in a new video game.
From VU Games:
In a complex world filled with excess and greed, players can
take the role of Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted
on film. Developed by Radical Games and published by Vivendi Universal Games,
this third person action shooter is expected to ship Fall 2005.
“The treacherous world of Scarface is a natural property to translate into a
cinematic game play experience,” said Michael Pole, Executive Vice President,
Worldwide Studios for Vivendi Universal Games. “The game will feature
cutting-edge technology, a compelling storyline and the unprecedented experience
of playing as one of Hollywood’s most notorious gangsters, Tony Montana.”
“Scarface was a landmark film and has inspired countless movies and games,” said
Bill Kispert, vice president of Interactive at Universal Studios Consumer
Products Group. “Having the chance to now bring gamers the authentic experience
is an opportunity and challenge we are looking forward to.”
Highly acclaimed screenwriter, David McKenna, has written an original
event-driven storyline for the interactive game that will lead the player
through a sordid underworld. The Scarface video game will create a gameplay
environment that authentically recreates the historical time period of the film,
touching on politics, news items and events of the day. Players will travel
through the steamy, often violent streets of Miami, the irie islands of the
Florida Keys, the Bahamas and various other locales and will interact with a
world full of seedy and dangerous characters to procure information, negotiate
business deals, smuggle contraband and avoid rivals and DEA on a mission to
rebuild their fallen empire.
