According to IGN, a Scarface game is being made. It is scheduled to be released fall 2005. Here is what the article said:

Scarface Game Announced

Say hello to your new little friend.


August 10, 2004 - Vivendi Universal Games today announced the development of Scarface, a new third-person shooter based on the 1983 Brian De Palma classic (in turn based on the 1932 Howard Hawks classic). The title is being developed by Radical Games and is planned for release in Fall 2005 for PC and consoles. Exactly which consoles has yet to be revealed.


Players will step into the shoes of Tony Montana, the larger-than-life gangster memorably played by Al Pacino in the film. While it has yet to be revealed whether any of the film's cast and crew will contribute to the game, VU Games has announced that David McKenna (screenwriter for American History X) will handle the storyline.

"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."

We should see more details on the game in coming months, including first screens. Given its screen inspiration, though, it's safe to assume Scarface will be heavy on action and include not a little bloodshed. Stay tuned for more.

That's all the article says. I think that this could be a great game if they do it right. Playing Tony Montana in a FPS sounds cool as hell. Click here for the article.

Hmm...wonder where I've seen a game like that before...

We don't need an "authentic" game that will probably be crap. Do something new.

No point doing a scarface game when Vice City did 3/4's of Scarface's scenes and with Vice City being the game it is, I'll say Scarface won't be as good as it.

I think it sounds pretty sweet actually. Especially if we get some of the cast to do the voices, some nice cut scenes, a lot of coke, and some good gameplay.

I'm with it..

I second that. Someone posted earlier too that Vice City did 3/4 of it jast as good, if not better. After playing Chronnicles of Riddick for Xbox I have also come to the conclustion that movie licences translate best into video games when they take an enierly different round, and stay away from anything that has been told in their movie interations. A number of games that have done well are:
Chronnicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Star Wars:KOTOR
Star Wars Republic Comando (looks extreamly good so far)
Mission Impossible
007 games
Star Wars N64 game (I forgot the name of the game)

The game will turn out just like Driver 3 & True Crimes. Short of the hype, and linear. No matter ow much the game will try and be open ended it never really works.

this and a Godfather game?? my prediction: both will flop

there's simply no way they can take a license after this long and make it into a good game... perhaps they make it into a mediocre game, but either way it won't live up to the hype or the source material's legend

and with so many GTA-type games on the market, I just don't see the point... seems like an attempt to cash-in on the craze to me

the only good movie-licensed games IMO have been 007, Spider-Man, LOTR and a handful of Star Wars games.
