Designer surprised Scarface allowed on Wii
Jason Bone, Lead Combat Designer for Scarface: The World is Yours coming to the Nintendo Wii, demoed the game to Games Radar and was quoted saying, “I am amazed we’re allowed to make a game like this for Nintendo Wii.”
Despite the many parental concerns regarding violence on the “family-friendly” console, it seems that Radical Games isn’t planning on toning down the violence meter at all.
Scarface, an adaptation of Brian De Palma’s 1983 film of the same title, was revamped to deliver the full potential of the Wii. This allowed Radical Games to create a visual crispness unrivaled by the PS2 and the original Xbox. And because of the advanced detail to visuals, the violence incurred by the young Cuban Mafia-leader to be can be given much more focus.
Games Radar confirmed that fear: the game took an even more terrifying stance in violence in the recent game demonstration. Bone defended their stance, saying, “Aiming a gun with the Wiimote is the closest you can get to killing a filthy cock-a-roach without getting of your couch.”
While it’s an invitation for you-know-who to do you-know-what, the Wii does have a share of mature games coming for it, like decapitation-king Manhunt 2. Despite the questionable taste of Nintendo to allow such games on the Wii, it’s all part of Nintendo’s bid for third-party title encouragement.
