In my hands I have a 4 pages long article about The Getaway.(Swedish gamemagazine)
This is the biggest European game ever done, 45 people are working on it.
They are convinst that this game is going to be something that has never been done before.
the Getaway is a gangsterdrama in London. 2 men on opposit side of the law is main characters, (both playable, 12 missions each=24 total)
Mark Hammond is a fugitive, been accused of murdered his wife and is out looking for his kiddnaped son,
Frank Carter is a suspended policeofficer. Both have the same objectives, finding the truth and make a big revenge on the man that has made them lost their lifes, charlie Jolson, the boss of East Ends mobs.
U can do about anything in the game, U can walk down the street and pull up your gun and start shooting people, they will try to escape and the cops are there within minutes.
Its not like DRIVER. Sure U can drive a car but U can walk if U want to. The player will have a goal, but U can do in the way that pleases U.
There is no helthbar, the shots are calculated in realtime depending on several factors like distance, weapon, where U get hit a.s.o
the faces of people walking around in the city has 64 muscles. fear and anger and happines can be shown.
The productiondesigner woody has worked with movies like, Star wars: The phantom Menace and 007.
There is over 60 cutscence.
50 squarekilometers of london is in the game.
Every single part of of the game is real. U can walk into a stripbar and look at the strippers.
