[Pre-E3 2006] Vivendi Vents Lineup
No surprises here -- at least not for console gamers.
Published: May 8, 2006
Vivendi Games (now officially without the Universal part of their title), has finally pulled the wraps off their E3 lineup. There's a smattering of next-gen content (though none of the games are confirmed for PS3 right now), some PSP stuff, and even a contender to the Grand Theft Auto crown from the guys that brought us Simpsons: Hit & Run.
“Vivendi Games has emerged as a leader in top quality interactive entertainment with the number one position in the MMORPG market, and leading positions in PC and console. We are thrilled to present a spectacular E3 roster of original properties and entertainment licenses, which reflect the creativity and innovation that are cornerstones of our work,” burped Vivendi Games CEO Bruce Hack.
Those games (complete with Vivendi-penned descriptors) are:
Scarface: The World Is Yours
Scarface: The World Is Yours is an open-world action game that puts players in the epic role of Tony Montana. Featuring an unprecedented all-star Hollywood cast and an original script penned by renowned writer David McKenna, the creator of American History X and Blow, Scarface: The World Is Yours will bring Tony Montana to life in an authentic Scarface experience.
Eragon
Based on the worldwide literary phenomenon and the 2006 20th Century Fox film starring Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons, Academy Award nominee John Malkovich, Djimon Hounsou, Robert Carlyle, Ed Speleers and Sienna Guillory, Eragon immerses the player in a magical world of dragon riders, destiny and adventure. Gamers will engage in intense battles with an unparalleled combo and magic-based combat system.
50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition
The gritty urban action game starring multi-platinum recording artist 50 Cent is now portable. 50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition is the ultimate fusion of music, gaming and video entertainment, offering more than a boxed-set of 50 Cent music, an exclusive G Unit documentary, 15 music videos and all new action-packed gameplay.
Miami Vice The Game
Inspired by the upcoming summer film from Universal Pictures, Miami Vice The Game puts players deep undercover as narcotics officers Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs in the decadent world of present-day Miami.
Short but sweet. Just the way we like it. It should make Vivendi a nice-quick stop for impressions later this week. We'll make sure to update you if something groundbreaking takes place.
