When?
-
Me want now i cant wait til e3 to see it running
-
It looks fantastic, but what the heck is in the plot of the game? Do you know what the game is about?
-
if this is running at 60fps..
:eek:
this is basically GTA3 without the tongue in cheek dark humour about it
just from memory the story is something like your daughter/wife/dildo is kidnapped, and you are blackmailed into doing work.. or you want vengence, or something like that..
i really hope it plays well, as the graphics are superb, and teh gameplay should be top knotch..
i guess GTA3 will have stolen its thunder.. this should have more parts much more in depth than GTA3, but i doubt it will have all the little options and everything of GTA3..
more like Driver
/me wants

The game looks ok of course... but the previous pics showed long time ago were 10x better. E3!

Here\'s some info from where those screens came from:
«The Getaway» ist eine Mischung aus englischen Gangsterfilmen wie «Snatch» und dem PS2-Klassiker «GTA3». Als Kleinkrimineller muss der Spieler mit dem Auto durch London rasen und verschiedene Missionen lösen. Besonderes Augenmerk legen die Entwickler auf eine authentische Umgebung. Über 70 digitalisierte Quadratkilometer der englischen Hauptstadt können ab diesem Herbst vom PS2-Gamern befahren werden.
The Getaway is a something in the likes of an english gangster movie like Snatch and the PS2 hit game Grand Theft Auto 3. As a small criminal you start your journey by driving through the detailed streets of London while participating in various missions. London itself has been modeled into a 70 square km virtual city. In other words, every detail of the city has been modeled into the game.
Dem Spieler ist dabei die Wahl des fahrbahren Untersatzes überlassen. Zwar stehen auch die typischen schwarzen Taxis oder die roten Doppelstockbusse zur Verfügung. Aber zur effektiven Verfolgungsjagd kommt man nicht um einen schnellen Sportwagen oder gar ein Polizeiauto herum.
Just like in GTA3, you can choose what cars you want to hijack. From the typical black taxis to the red buses - it\'s all there.
Ein beträchtlicher Teil des Spiels findet aber auch ausserhalb des Autos in verschiedenen Lagerhallen, illegalen Casinos oder Rotlichtspelunken statt. Vor allem in diesen Innenlevels vermag die Grafik zu beeindrucken. Jede Lichtquelle wirft an allen Objekten ihre Schatten. Auch die Bewegungen der Gangster sind brilliant animiert und machen Lust auf mehr.
The game not only boosts an incredible outsight scenery, but also lots of scenes where the player can go into various buildings, such as illegal casinos, red district pubs and others. The graphics in those buildings apperantly, are pretty impressive as each light source throws an individual shade on each object. The animations of the gangsters are also quite brilliant.
Die Hauptdarsteller von «The Getaway» bewegen sich fast wie echte Menschen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die unzähligen Zwischensequenzen im Spiel von fünf echten Schauspielern aufgenommen und danach im sogenannten Motion-Capturing-Verfahren ins Spiel eingefügt.
The main characters of "The Getaway" move almost like real people. TO achieve this, real actors (5 of them) have been motion-captured for all the various cut-scenes in the game.
Auf den ersten Blick macht das Spiel einen ausgezeichneten Eindruck aber trotzdem ist bis zum Release noch einige Arbeit nötig. Beim Probespielen im Soho Studio von Sony in London machte sich vor allem die mangelhafte Kollisionsabfrage bemerkbar. Des öfteren gab es im Spiel Autokollisionen aus heiterem Himmel, während in der nächsten Szene der scheinbare Totalcrash mit einer leichten Berührung endete.
The games looks very impressive to date - eventhough there is still alot of improvement left until its release. While playing the game at the Studio of Team Soho, we noticed that there were a lot of car crashes by the AI out of the blue while walking through the streets of London.

Sounds good doesn\'t it?! :D
I love the screens btw: the cars seem to reflect the surroundings and the fact that each object in the buildings have their own realistic shades sounds very cool indeed.

That just about answers my question. Thanks man for the update.;)

Looks and sounds impressive. True, doesn\'t look as good as the previous screens (which most people, even here, didn\'t believe would be achievable in realtime anyways) but still very impressive looking.
Of coarse, it will inevitabily be compared to GTA3. IMO, even with the simularities, should still be a great game on its own. Certainly looks great graphically.
-
What\'s the release date for this game?
I\'m to lazy to search it out.
Ace

said something about late this year. No idea... probably september or october but I really don\'t know for sure. We\'ll find out at E3 I guess...
-
Looks pretty good. I may look into it near the time of release.
-
Woho..
Sounds awesome.. Thanks for the translation seven :)
:eek:
-
With how long they have been working on it, it better be the best damn game ever.
-
yeah been waiting ages for his gae..lets hope it blows our socks off!!!! hope that you can use more stealth, cos it was lmost impossible to sneak up on peep on gta3
-
I just scratched it on my list of most anticipated games. That makes 24, :laughing:!
-
i got 4 on my list
-
The gamne also allows you to play from 2 different character angles
the 1st being the retired criminal who is balckmailed
the other being the shady cop chasing you down
Hows that for replay value
Glad to see the game is coming around..... about time
-
Ive wet myself yet again. I want this game already so I can finally stop ruining my clothes!!
-
that\'s a great 3d model of the inside of the automobile (the best I\'ve ever seen) but seriously... the inside of a car???? hmm... i dunno, but I\'m curious as to how the inside of the car is going to come into the game..

Sony mismanagement or thank you to gamers?
We have learned that SCE’s upcoming PlayStation 2 title The Getaway will be unable to make a profit, due to the huge amount of cash the company has spent during production.
The Getaway is without doubt the most intriguing of all planned PlayStation 2 titles in production at this time. From the very beginning when the game first entered the public domain, controversy seemed an integral part of the title’s make up.
The initial flare came when Sony released shots taken from the game in 2000. So good were these screens, it became evident that they were doctored photos. As we exclusively revealed last year, this was simply a marketing cock-up and a breakdown in communications between the development team the marketing department.
And Sony’s reaction to this blunder? Well, it was simply amazing. It just said, “wait and see, the game will look as good as we have said.” Incredible. So Sony battened down the hatches and got to work. Although we do not know the exact figure spent on The Getaway at this time, members of the development team have freely stated, off the record, that it is “an unrecoverable sum.”
As Sony announces huge profits, largely powered by the success of the PlayStation 2, it can afford to make something special, a game that will set new standards and serve to make the PlayStation 2 the must-have machine. Even if The Getaway cannot fund its development costs through retail sales, the knock-on effect of the PlayStation 2 hosting one of the greatest games ever created, though not directly related to, or tangibly connected to The Getaway, will be well worthwhile.
This news should be welcomed by the gaming community and digested without cynicism. The value of the games industry on a global basis is huge, yet more and more companies are living hand-to-mouth, releasing games at as fast a rate as possible, to keep cashflow healthy. Given Sony’s consolidated position, it can afford to lavish expense on a killer app.
Hopefully this will set a precedent across the games world.
At this point in time, The Getaway is still some way off, though we might just see something at E3.

Nice pics, but the textures on that 3rd one could use some work.
I\'m going to bet that The Getaway will turn out to be either extremely great or considerably bad. For some reason, I don\'t think it will be just "average."
-
and i\'m a little worried, because simply pouring resources into a project doesnt make the project run any faster or any better.

I think they\'re pretty sweet for the PS2.

Well, if the original design of the game is not good, or if the core programmers aren\'t the smartest people, then no matter how many people and money you spend on a single project, the outcome can still be less than something designed and built by a much smaller yet efficient team. For example, my company has a really big project that its working on, and its very important and stuff like that, so they\'ve gone full blown and are using about 500 people to make the project run, but the truth of the matter is is that 500 people won\'t solve a problem that 2 people can\'t.
I\'m not saying whether the Getaway will be good or no, just hoping that people at Sony aren\'t using their resources in the wrong way.

the reason this game has been so expensive to make is purely because of the premise of the game. it is set in realistically captures 70 square kilometers of London (50sq miles).. this means that they have been out with a digital camera, day after day taking photos of shop fronts etc. etc. everything from the local HMV musc store, to light posts and post office boxes have been captured.. if its in London.. it is in this game..
which is why they will never make a profit, unless they do a major sequal
i just hope the game plays fast.. an arcadey feel would probably be preferred from me, but i think it will be realistic, so it will be different from GTA3
and thanks for the info Ddaryl, playing as the cop chasin him could be absolutely sweet. its great to see after putting in all the money to capture the city that they are trying to make the most of it..
i hope it does turn out well..

looks like GTA3 on steroids, which isn\'t a bad thing :)

DXB, please just stick to Console Debating for your threads, you really dont have anything to add in the main forum, thanks :)
