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

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:

Quote
«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.

Quote
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.

Quote
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.

Quote
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.

Quote
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.

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.
Opinions are not important.

Looks pretty good. I may look into it near the time of release.
