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

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.
Polygon: "We look back at Sony London’s dropped PlayStation 3 buddy-themed action game."
So Sony cancelled Eight Days but didn't know that it was them who cancelled The Getaway 3
Getaway series should be brought back especially now that Sony has more diverse developers. Getaway 1-2 HD remakes by bluepoint
What went wrong for the co-op action title?
I thought It was well known that it was canceled because they felt it was competing with too many other cover based TPSs including their own Uncharted. Wish they would've brought it back, but by now I'm sure Londin Studios isn't interested in making it anymore.
Yup. Pretty much. Sony thought it was redundant when they were downsizing to streamline the company. I wanted this game so bad. It was right up my alley. Action, action, action. Still think Ving Rhames would have been the black guy and used his likeness. Maybe Sony could also have paid Jason Statham to be the white guy.

Would be cool if brought back and rebooted for PS5 with all its destructive backgrounds.

After Blood and Truth's high octane action elements, I'd even take a full PS5 PSVR game. The car shooting from the helicopter, driving in the streets gunplay, shooting set pieces with glass and things flying around like in the gas station in the video above. That's Blood and Truth gameplay right there.
Give me 8 Days VR. Lol! Wonder what Sony's VR Studio Manchester(formerly North West Studio) is doing or making? They haven't announced anything yet.
Considering Uncharted is kind of over and done with as a main priority maybe they should bring this game back.
However I'm not sure if they should keep the heavy co-op or stick to being a pure single player game. Just seems like playing with an AI if you are by yourself might get annoying in a game like this.
It never made it past concept and rockstar shut it down.
Research before mocking cos u look like a fool.
Its funny that you make fun of PS4 when we literally have the better games
The trailer was completely faked and they didn't have anything actually working according to a Eurogamer video
In this article, we try to list eight cancelled games that looked the most promising. Before we start, if you haven’t already, be sure to read this list over cancelled games, too.
Mega Man Legends 3 is the one cancelled game that sucked the most for me. Blaming it on the fans was a real jerkish move, too.

Promising? Maybe they sounded good, but, for instance, Redwood Falls and Shadow Realms never saw the light of day because they weren't anything exceptional. The tragic ones are the ones like Star Wars 1313, which was cancelled because of Disney's buyout of Star Wars, or Insane, which was cancelled because THQ was going out of business. I can only guess that Agent, Eight Days, and Starcraft Ghosts never made it anywhere because they didn't live up to expectations. Maybe they weren't any good, maybe they were too ambitious, maybe the tech at the time couldn't support them . . . we simply don't know.
I was once excited for the Pirates of the Caribbean game, Armada of the Damned, but chances are it was cancelled because it wasn't living up to expectations, so there's really no point in being letdown by it.
bout time we got info on this game
been far too long
No online modes What! If Sony no what I know online is very important nowadays.There still in development hopefully they will add it later.
well doesn't sound too bad. Actually sounds pretty good. No online may be a mistake though after ppl see gta4 but since they aren't going to be in direct competition considering the time between both releases, maybe getaway may have a spot on my shelf
This and 8 Days (or what ever its called now (Protector?)) are reasons why GTA IV's DLC is going to be wasted on me.
Cant wait, will be a welcome change to have a great game set in my old home town rather than the states.
not every game needs online.
