The Getaway Deserves a Comeback!

Ойындар

We're going back to another classic of the Playstation 2 era! I still firmly believe that the Getaway deserves a comeback in the modern age. Some say that the entire UK are still havin' themselves a little giggle.
Be sure to catch me on Twitch and hit the bell so you know when I'll be live!

    NO WAY! My nickname was getaway too! It was always fun going to school. They would call my name in the hall and move out of my way, I may as well have been a God in school. Hearing the girl I liked in 5th grade saying "Ahhhh, get away!!!" Truly confirmed that our feelings were mutual. Good memories.

    Black Monday was my first when I got it for Christmas one year. Dad knew I played GTA and the guy at EB Games said it was one of the newest open world crime games. I think driving the many great vehicles through London was my most favorite thing about the franchise. I was already aware of and played Driver, True Crime, Scarface and of course GTA. This felt like True Crime turned up a notch in certain areas, but with a far more serious tone. I'd love to see a modern release honestly. EDIT: Scarface would not come out till AFTER I played these games lol getting old

    Honestly the light hearted “fun” was that of Vice City, it’s now rare to see a game like this that was quite serious all round as, well the plot indeed was too. Only chance you saw or heard was with Jake Jolson’s unintentional comedic dialogues and the pedestrians who road rage that broke the tense imo

I also remember finding out you can lean to get health and it blew my mind. There really was no other game like The Getaway in terms of realism at the time.

    The way you aim in both The Getaway 1 & 2, is to use the tip of your weapon. It acts like a semi-iron sight, but in 3rd person. Every weapon will have the tip of it's barrel in the center of the screen, regardless of where your character is.

Now, it's obviously janky but you can tell what they were trying to do, be immersive. Like how you have to lean on walls to recover and you get bloody instead of a health bar. Or the turn signals instead of a minimap. It's actually wrote in the manual (the PS2 version anyways) on how to aim, this is where I originally read it. :)

Also, some screenplay from cancelled Third "The Getaway" - was been used in VR Worlds, and that story about the heist. How, do i know this (even as a russian gamer?) - it's simply, lead dev of SOHO was said that, in AMA/QnA and also, in interviews - after released of VR Worlds on PS4 Pro/PS VR (First One).
