Vivendi has announced that Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will come on PlayStation Portable, but the previously announced Xbox 360 has been cancelled.
Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for Vivendi Games said, “Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will challenge players to strategically direct Tony Montana’s legendary and meteoric ascent to the biggest drug kingpin in Miami. Using the PSP platform’s advanced functionality and multiplayer capabilities, Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will deliver a unique and challenging strategy experience combined with real-time combat that is fully immersed in the authentic world of the film.”
This is what Vivendi had to say:
Featuring both single- and multi-player modes, Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will challenge players to make critical strategic decisions to rise from humble beginnings to directing an army of henchmen and hired gunmen through detailed scenarios of conquest and domination.
In the story-based single-player mode, gamers will complete a series of missions based on scenes from the original movie to conquer “turfs” in Miami. Players will need to direct large-scale citywide strategic commands to complete their conquest as well as direct street-level real-time combat. The game will challenge gamers to handle larger territory, additional adversaries and new profit-making opportunities through increased drug trafficking.
Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. will release in October 2006 with a likely ESRB “Mature” rating.
