THIS looks "okay" while Geist gets blasted?!?





Heh.

Well, if you compare this to the competion (GTA games) it looks OK. But if you compare Geist to the competion ( first persons shooters) it looks pretty far from OK....

I think it looks pretty good.

And I don't understand all the hate for this game just because it's based on a classic movie and it goes against the ending to said film, it is after all just a game. It's not like it's a movie sequel where they magically brought back Tony from the dead. Be comforted in the fact that's it's probably not canon in the filmmakers eyes, but more of a what if. I'd rather play this than a rehash of the movie, at least now I'll know nothing of what happens in regards to the story and characters.

Come on, it does not look that bad.

It does. Alot of it is because they're trying to do self shadowing when its obvious the engine doesn't do it very well. In alot of the pics characters look cell shaded because of it.

In the IGN preview IGN preview: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/594/594831p1.html
they say that the game starts with the film end scene in his mansion. You has to surive, if you don´t you start all over in the same scene.

I think i sounds like a great idea! Ínstead of trying to replay the films scenes, you only play the last one, and when everything take place after the film. All your friends are dead and you have to fight your way up again, and later on take revenge on Sosa.

I will miss some of Tonys old friends though....

They are saying that they are still trying to maked it look better ( five times better compared to the first EGM shots) , so maybe the end product will look nicer.

GTA isn't much of a looker to begin with. :p

It´s true. But I think it is not fair to compare a free roaming game with like GTA to something like Resident evil 4 and say GTa look bad. If you think of how huge GTA is, it looks really good.
 
if they dont get pacino for the VA (which they wont) itll suck



and if they do, Al im mad at you (VA the godfather instead for crissakes)



and something tells me they didnt get als likeness either (blurry portrait) all behind shots, kinda like M.I. on n64 (originally looked like cruise, then became random tom cruise but not really alike model)
 
Tony Montana is dead as someone else already pointed out so this game can't work the film ends with his death and a life lesson, if you live fast you die fast.

yes but a preview i read said, the game begins during the final moments of the film...where you can avoid dying.... :|
 
The screens look weird, but I'm still giving this a rent. I'm not that big a fan of Scarface that I'm going to be upset about a game ruining the legacy. It's not like gangster films are high art to begin with. :lol

scarface is a pretty awful movie. the game manages to look worse and will date even worse than the movie.

Right on Dm, we all need to say that to the devs of this game. I like Scarface but the cult like
following that has been built around it is insane to me.
