"I'm amazed we're allowed to make it for Wii," says Scarface developer

Okay, so the actual quote was, "I am amazed we're allowed to make a game like this for Nintendo Wii," to avoid the risk of misquoting Jason Bone, Lead Combat Designer on Scarface at Radical Games speaking to Games Radar as he demoed the game to GamesRadar recently.

But the message is pretty clear either way you read it - the Scarface Wii team has absolutely no intention of toning down the ultra-violence in the "family console" version of Brian De Palma's apocryphal film.

Amazed that Nintendo allows lazy devs lke you to keep making half assed ports for it's console.

ItsDubC6263d ago

Well-said Odiah. Given the lower cost of developing Wii games, I'd like to see some creative but original releases from 3rd-party devs for once. It's still fairly early in the console's lifespan tho I suppose, but I've heard that standard Wii dev kits are still being finalized and that Nintendo doesn't have a lot of them to go around.

MK_Red6263d ago

"Scarface", "MK Armegeddon"... even "No More Heroes" still... Wii is a "child console", ratio of M rated games to T&E titles is 1 to 1000.

ItsDubC6263d ago

I don't think having less M-rated games affects a console's appeal. If it did, the DS wouldn't be outselling the PSP by almost 2 to 1.

Shaka2K66263d ago

And it continues nintendo wii is only for kids.

techie6263d ago

Make it for wee? You mean they're not being paid in money? I bet they have some kind of way of using urine as fuel...

Sorry...they named it Wii for a reason...to make evrey sentence using it sound stupid :)

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist395d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138395d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Best game based on two movies that were never made goes to robocop vs terminator.

Owlbert505d ago

Did you play RoboCop Vs terminator... pretty sure it was on the mega drive) genisis.

HeliosHex505d ago

Yes played it on genesis for the blood. Snes had a version but I think the blood was censored not sure. I just remember genesis being the go to system for games with blood.

Owlbert505d ago

Alien isolation...ftw,it is definitely one of my top games,I played it again a few months ago ✌️

Condemned criminal origins

porkChop625d ago

That was such a cool game. I didn't like Bloodshot nearly as much though.

MadLad625d ago

Yeah.
It lost the grounded soul of the original and became a kind of corny take on horror.

The sequel was by no means a bad game, but it's like they didn't understand what made the first so good.
Not much different than FEAR 2.

I still would have liked to see what they would do with the third, but WB turned them into a license developer for years now.
I doubt they'll ever be given a chance to work on old IP unless they get from under WB.

Profchaos625d ago

I hate they ended the 2nd on a cliffhanger

sourOG625d ago

I’d love a remaster of the first game: same with fear.

sourOG625d ago

I agree about that the FEAR comparison. First was amazing. 2nd was meh.

TheEnigma313625d ago (Edited 625d ago )

I loved that game. My first 360 game. Loved the concept

Surprised The Getaway didn't make the list.

ClayRules2012625d ago

I am too. Loved The Getaway, such a fun time I had with that game. Shame it never came out on PS3 back in the day😢

Good-Smurf625d ago

They did showed tech demo of the third game until it stuck in development hell for years and cancelled it for some unclear reasons.
Same with Eight Days very impressive looking crime game but got cancelled for unclear reasons.

RedDevils625d ago

It was 8 days, and I was so hyped wish they didn't cancel it.

ClayRules2012625d ago

Good-Smurf
Yeah, I remember that PS3 tech demo for The Getaway, it was really stunning at the time, and the density in traffic (for the small section on display) had me really impressed. I guess I wouldn’t say traffic, just the amount of vehicles on display in general in that area.

And I remember that Eight Days, that first trailer (where it looked like gameplay) with animations that still today blow me away, specifically the guy jumping throw that diner window and landing onto that table, that was a 🤯wtf moment! I remember hearing it was cancelled and was so bummed.

I wish Rockstar would’ve done something with that Sony exclusive they never delivered on (for various reasons we don’t know) shame on that too.

Yui_Suzumiya625d ago

Kane and Lynch series was awesome. Still waiting on a sequel to Dog Days.

neutralgamer1992625d ago

Scarface needs a remaster

True crime series was a lot of fun. Hopefully MS will reboot the series

Saints row 1-2 needs a remaster

Sleeping dogs is great but I feel like it's on all lists now a days

ClayRules2012625d ago

Scarface, I put so much time into that game! LOVED IT!

Would love a True Crime again, loved NY.

And Sleeping Dogs, great it is!

MajorLazer625d ago

Probably my favourite PS2 game ever, Scarface.

porkChop625d ago

With Xbox buying Activision I would love to see them reacquire the license and remaster the game. Then resurrect the cancelled sequel in Las Vegas. Scarface could have been a huge franchise but Activision bought Sierra, and COD4 had just exploded the shooter market. We know where their focus went after that.

Good-Smurf625d ago (Edited 625d ago )

Urban Chaos Riot Response is also deserves a mention one of many hidden gem of PS2 era.
Getaway is simply a darker more realisitc GTA in London crime world the second game pushed PS2 to its breaking point alongside SoC.
