The Force Is Strong In Scarface News

Following recent news that the introduction sequence for Vivendi Games' Scarface: The World Is Yours has been produced by Hollywood's Kyle Cooper and Prologue Films, the publisher has today confirmed that the audio production of the game also received a touch of movie magic in the sound department.

In an attempt to take the audio design to the next level, the developers of the game utilised the knowledge and skills of Skywalker Sound, part of George Lucas' empire, and in particular Randy Thorn. Thorn has worked on many feature films in the past including Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now.

"Scarface: The World Is Yours will deliver a surprising audio experience that will add life and power to the experience of playing as the one-and-only Tony Montana," said Randy Thom. "By bringing the game and its developers to Skywalker Sound and remixing the game on-site, we were able to create a more detailed and engaging audio experience that goes beyond what other games have achieved."

Scarface is an icon of American cinema and the game needs to live up to not only the film's enduring legacy but also quality level of today's best blockbuster films," said Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for Vivendi Games. "Our goal from the very beginning was to deliver the best possible experience as Tony Montana. By partnering with the best sound studio in the world and working with a Hollywood legend like Randy Thom, we have ensured that the sound quality in Scarface: The World Is Yours will be second-to-none."

In addition to the audio production, the game will also feature a number of actors including the likes of Elliot Gould, Jason "Snoochie Boochie" Mewes, and Robert Loggia.

Scarface: The World Is Yours will be released in the UK on October 13th; we'll have more news shortly...
