Forums - Sony - The Getaway PS3 preview

I am doubtful of this one again (EDIT it was an April fool), but the article was written on March 31st, and apparantly they are a reliable source, here is the summary from N4G

French site Play3-Live.com had the opportunity to move over to England for a special occasion following an invitation by SCEE London Studio.This morning we invite you to read their preview & impression`s of the game.Here are some brief thoughts as follows:

-Immediately, the quality of the graphics in(The Getaway 3)is superb 'dazzling' The enviromets are superb, but it`s mostly the effects of lights that leave us open-mouthed!

-The Cars (still under license) are superbly modeled, a bit lesser than those of Gran Turismo, but just about the level comparable to a Colin McRae DiRT Racing car model.

-A slight blur effect has been added to give an impression of greater speed which clearly fits well during driving!

-Car damage has been improved and we would often compared it (The Getaway 3 )to Codemasters Rally simulation.

-The Getaway 3 will have no online modes, because according to the development team, it has no place in a game of this sort.

-About 40 hours of gameplay in total, not counting side missions and special vehicles to locate in the various large cities or towns, as the scenario of The Getaway is taking place in London but also in Amsterdam.

-Other information include, the team expects to link up the 3 games story wise (The Getaway, The Getaway Black Monday and Gangs of London) since the adventure takes place a few years before the first Game.

-Over 3 years in development have been necessary for such graphics rendering.The game has been in development since late 2004 & beginning of 2005.

-The music will be more varied than before.The game will also be more mature than it`s predecessors, and 18 + will be recommended.

-There will be (for each playable character) his small home where you can store weapons, cars, and bank notes in a small trunk. No planes or helicopters are playable, but boats yes! The game is taking place (around the end of the story) in the winter, snow! Also, if you are caught, it will be Game Over, and it will resume from the last checkpoint.

-Finally, your atrocities will be identified(taken into notice) and if you are too violent, you will see your face on posters or TV (WANTED).In other words, must refine your crimes and avoid leaving traces.

So much for the "essentials" information on the too discreet game(The Getaway 3), which should be available by December.we were impressed by the hands on presentation and suggest that this series of Sony may well be greater than GTA IV in terms of graphics rendering and technology, especially as the characters are supremely modeled with real time climate conditions change.

See you soon for images and videos. Many thanks to Sony for that nice presentation.

Please note:I left out impressions of the storyline which takes place just after the E3 2006 trailer.Follow link to read more on that

See you soon for images and videos. Many thanks to Sony for that nice introduction.

Read the article, which I take with a grain of salt myself,and advise everyone to follow suit since it`s 1st of April , It`s from a reliable and well respected site hence it`s degree of authenticity.

I read play3live section quite often and I doubt they get any exclusive interview/test like this one (it is a little site for me)

I seriously doubt what they have written is true

It is an april fool according to me (a nice one since nobody knows the truth even in the main site)



Time to Work !

@ libellule, maybe everyone else is waiting till tommorow so that people will beleive the



Sounds interesting anyway! The more games on the PS3 the better and this one sounds on par with GTAIV so thats pretty impressive, although GTAIV has yet to impress me enough to want to buy it.



If it is indeed a April Fools joke, it's a shoddy one at that.

There was early speculation that the game might be set in London and Amsterdam. So if this article is legitimate, it seems the early rumours were true.

40 hours+ gameplay sounds very good.

The previous Getaways were appalling. No online is poor. I expect nothing from this game.



LOL Selnor FTW. The topic was a little too happy :)

I'm excited for the news ^^ All I've seen is that one screenshot from way back when and it LOOKS amazing :P I have high hopes for this :)



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

==> having or not online is a non-event for this type of game ...

 Yeah, they're almost certainly exaggerating it, but even if it's only 20 hours of gameplay, it's better than most games that have been coming out lately. The trick is making it not feel forced...

Setting in london, wonderful, if its lifelike then you'll average less than 10mph and be spending all your time beating up wardens for unfair traffic tickets.
