City gangsters decend on the gorgeous-looking PlayStation 3 London town...
What the hell happened to once hyped Getaway series?
I can't believe I clicked this article. The writer adds nothing new to what we already know. Didn't bother updating anything with Sony London or Sony themselves. No new information was giving. Don't waste your time reading this article.
I still think London Studio is one of the most under utilized yet most capable devs in the industry. Whether its Sonys duing or their own decision to only focus on peripheral based games and smaller projects, i really wish they would get/take a shot at a flagship title
They need to reboot it and really put a lot of thought into it
Do it the right way and this could be Sony's Grand Theft Auto if they wanted.
The UK has tons of cities to visit aswell. London, Manchester, Newcastle Upon Tyne etc
If you know 'The Getaway' series, then you may already know who Katie Ellwood is. She worked as Sony Europe's narrative producer, as well as having a role on the original Getaway game and The Getaway: Black Monday. However, more recently, she has broken away from Sony to pursue a more independent career, now screenwriting for games and film as a director of two different business. She took some time out of her schedule to talk to Gamer's Guide to Life about writing for games, films and The Getaway series.
Yeah, it's a shame The Getaway was cancelled, as it looked like it was going to be a great game. I suppose it was just the fact that it'd cost too much to develop that made Sony drop it.
Yea your right black monday was terrible but Id like to see them give it another go.
You probably remember some talk of the 3rd installment of The Getaway, for the PS3 & some of you may not remember, but the ones who did, Eight Days. I personally never was a fan of The Getaway series and when Hiphopgamer asked me to write this story, I will admit, I was a bit skeptical, but now, here I am...
so i am good to go :) now just hoping that at least Eight Days comes back.. don't really care about the other one.. coz ive never heard of it, or seen anything of it :P
Neither on of these games has been canceled indefinitely,expect to hear about 1 of them at GDC
