I sort if disagree with The Getaway. Playing it all those years ago, it had a dodgy control system, more so vehicles, was slow and was graphically unfinished. The sequel was even worse and the third game on PS3 was canned. I think Sony should take both games and merge them into one (as with the soon to be released Max Payne 1 and 2). Weird how Sony messed up The Getaway never to be seen again.
Over twenty years have swept by, but barely any other gangster shooter is as dark and exacting as The Getaway.
I loved the first one sooo mu h, would love a new game or even a remake would awesome tbh.
Bring it back Sony!!!
Mark Hammond. What a great game. It was much better than part 2. This game defined what true next gen was to me back in that generation, it's definitely due for a remake.
Excellent game, Black Monday wasn’t too good but the first one was amazing. The way the waypoint system worked with car indicators and the healing mechanic leaning against the wall. Loved it.
This game looked so good back in the day. Still holds up well even now. Could you imagine what a PS5 remake would look like?
The ambitious PS2 action game is still revealing secrets to this day.
I loved the Getaway. Its controls are/were a bit dated and hard to use, but playing what is basically GTA in London was really cool. Such a great setting for a criminal underground gangster game. I like that it flipped between the cops and the criminals.
Sequel was good too, and the tech demo they released for PS3 with Amsterdam as an extra setting looked great. I was pretty disappointed when it got canned.
The Getaway was great. It felt unlike anything else. I'd really love to see Sony revive the franchise. GTA is taking longer and longer between releases. So it would be nice to play through other open world crime games while we wait. Sony can revive The Getaway. MS can revive True Crime. Saints Row is finally coming back this year too.
man, would love more contemporary action crime games, open-world or not. The matrix awakens demo makes me want those a lot more now, the possibilities of a good action game with those visuals.
I always forget about this one. Played a bunch and loved it but never beat it. Never understood why this is one they never ported to new gen or even remade/rebooted
I remember playing this back in the day. Sure it has it's flaws, but if you're willing to look past the minor issues, there's a lot of fun to be had with the game.
It's maybe just me being wishful, but I really hope for a new Gataway title for the PS4.
Tbh I really enjoyed this game, not so much the second one but would love to see Getaway 3
One of the most memorable games I have played. Plus its set it London and I'm from there so I knew my way around the streets. Good times.
The Getaway was a brilliant game. Brilliant concept. If they had Guy Ritchie on board & a gang warfare. Drug/ heist/ mugging/ riot frenzy MP with a shoot Madonna mode the we all would be laughting including Guy
