Scarface on Wii, confirmed?
« on: January 26, 2007, 06:35:11 AM »
NOTE: I know this is yes another thread I've made, but this is some pretty big news so I can't help but post it here.

NGamer has confirmed through their cover story that Scarface has been confirmed for the Wii.

Here's the scan.

I don't know if this is real or not, but this is some interesting news. Last I heard Scarface was a solid/decent GTA clone, and Scarface is one of those franchises that people NEVER expected to pop up on a Nintendo console. I mean, the movie is constantly quoted, made fun of and re-enacted in many adult comedy shows, through merchandise at Hot topic and many more. Scarface is indeed a popular adult franchise, and seeing a NINTENDO console getting it sure can be refreshing.

We got the Godfather, now we might be getting Scarface. Could this lead to GTA Wii? Time will tell...

I'm more curious about whether or not "Wii Sports League" is an actual game or something the magazine made up...

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Considering the type of game it is (a GTA clone based on a movie franchise), an overall 77% rating is pretty good.

But again, I haven't played the game. I just heard from my friends and forums that the game was at least a decent clone till GTA 4 is released.

More than likely it's just an article about how people are forming leagues and tournaments to play Wii Sports.  I think EGM had a similar article a month or so ago.

Here are some new details:
Shooting – a key part in most missions – is mapped on to the remote pointer, with players able to direct the aiming reticule around the screen, leaving a trail of Miami dead in its path. Moving your hand to direct Tony’s gun while your body remains still captures Montana’s steadfast mentality perfectly, that stubborn determination to stand his ground – an anchor with an AK.”

“The famous filmic image is of Tony standing in his office doorway, legs wide open, determinedly bolted to the floor with his “little friend” the M16 held firmly in his hands. On the Wii, players will be able to adopt this pose, spraying bullets as one with Montana – gaming and filmic iconography merged into one.”

“And what would Scarface be without that very implement that left said face scarred in the first place? If Resident Evil 4’s bag-wearing chainsaw jugglers got your gore-loving synapses firing, wait until you rev Scarface’s flesh munching baby into action. Chainsaw waving is directed with the remote, lopping heads clean off with a high swipe, or using more choppy motions to re-enact everyone’s favourite Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black Knight arm-putation moment. To add a cherry to the viscera flavoured cake, the remote speaker will even growl like a saw so as not to bring you out of the moment. Lovely.”

Also an interesting fact is that there was supposed to be a 360 release of Scarface but apprently Sierra canceled that version and moved it to the Wii.

You say waggle like it was a bad thing, That "waggle" just mey make the game more fun to play.

I shure hope they add extra features like the Godfather so it can stand out a little more.  Other than that I'm excited.  It's games like these that mey make it so developers decide to bring more mature content to the wii, I mean it has a parental feature so they can't sue.

GTA for the wii is looking more and more realistic every day.

BUMP!

Sorry for bumping this, but Games radar has posted some impressions of Scarface Wii and they were very impressed.

5 reasons why porting Scarface on the Wii was worth it

That's actually how they named the article, and from what I read, they were impressed with how the game was progressing and loved the controls (they detailed how controlling the chainsaw feels really good).

Could Scarface be a lot like the Godfather in that the Wii controls actually make the game better than its earlier versions?

Well if what they say is true, I see no reason to doubt that the Wii controls will add to this game. What I especially like about this hands-on report is that visuals are BETTER than the Xbox version with more people, and a more consistent framerate.

I will eventually own this and The Godfather, as soon as I have some extra money and/or the games hit the bargain bin.

At least it is nice to see games coming to Wii now where the developers are actually putting effort in them, even if they are ports in a sense. Hopefully this trend will continue to evolve as companies get more comfortable, and hopefully we will see some big budget exclusive Wii games.

My fantastic experience with Godfather: BlackWaggle edition so far has me extra intrigued about this game. I want more well done sandbox!

Has anyone played this on the PS2/Xbox/PC ? How does it compare to the Godfather?

The graphics look pretty good in this scene. The conversation however, makes no sense. ADULT LANGUAGE WARNING

For reference, IGN gave Godfather an 8.0.

They gave Scarface an 8.5.

How are the new Wii controls?
