Amazingly, they're also unable to fulfill the 1.7 million orders taken so far for the game, and are currently building new stock to ship as soon as possible. There's a nationwide shortage, but we did tell you to order your copy as soon as you could, so there's no excuse. You can't see, but we're shaking our heads and waving our finger at you.

YOU'VE ENTERED A NEW PLACE

Here there is no order, no logic, only discovery.
Nothing is certain. Everything is possible

Shoehorned into a function room at the Leicester Square Warner Bros. cinema, and plied with as much Champagne as we could guzzle, it was a rare delight to find ourselves admiring the, *cough* charms of a certain Nell McAndrew at close quarters, who was sporting a sparkly white dress that revealed more than was strictly good for us.

Meanwhile, Dan Sullivan (ex Eastenders, aka Craig Fairbrass) wandered around desperately looking for someone he recognised, while fellow journos also observed other minor celebs doing the rounds, pondering aloud at the tragedy of the out of work actor finding themselves at a gaming launch on a cold, wet Thursday night.

And fully an hour behind schedule, we were herded into one of the cinema’s screens to listen to Phil Harrison and Brendan McNamara remind us what a long road it has been to deliver Sony’s most ambitious game to date.

And with that, we were basically given a 40 minute run through on the big screen the first five missions of the game. But such are the game’s cinematics, and lack of any on screen icons or interface, the chronological run through worked surprisingly well, although anyone who hadn’t played the game before would have had approximately a quarter of the game totally ruined for them.

But it didn’t end there. We were then whisked off in a London bus to the trendy nightclub Fabric to party the night away mashed on endless amounts of free booze, purchased with special Getaway money.

Strictly speaking we should probably still be in bed sleeping off the mother of all hangovers, but we dutifully sloped off home before chucking out time to make sure that you, dear reader, are kept up to date with such decadent activities.

Interestingly, Eurogamer spent most of the evening watching fellow journos from Edge, Official PlayStation 2, etc to gauge their reaction, and the consensus was mixed, with some gleefully picking holes in the perceived flaws of the vehicle handling and fiddly combat system, while others marvelled at what they saw as a technical breakthrough. One observer was overwhelmed by the fact that he could walk up to his own accurately rendered house. Yes, the London you see in The Getaway is that accurate – who said the PS2 couldn’t cope with textures?

Us? We’ve waxed lyrical about The Getaway already here, and reckon the game is shaping up to be a stormer. Expect a full review of Sony’s next big thing shortly before its December 11th release.

'Getaway premieres in London Krudster [15-Nov-2002]

Eurogamer got to mix with the great and good of the C list showbiz world last night at the West End ‘premier’ of Sony’s long-awaited The Getaway

The typical mission structure usually revolves around driving to the scene, getting out to complete the mission objective and then hot-tailing out of there before the cops arrive. The on-foot sections again take a little while to get used to, but once you get used to Mark’s full repertoire of moves you’ll be shooting people off from distances, crouching up and peering around walls like a certain Solid Snake and grabbing hold of hostages to use as human shields. The on foot sections put GTA3 to shame, 22 indoor locations have been wonderfully recreated, usually for you to destroy in some possible way. Mark becomes a fluid character to control after a short while, you’re given two targeting options which really help during the heated gun fight scenes; R1 pulls the camera just over the characters shoulder giving you the ability to manually target, whilst taps of R2 target enemy characters in a similar fashion to Z-Targeting; it works wonderfully and makes the aiming system of GTA3 and even Vice City look woefully inadequate. Other moves allow you to cling up against a wall to remain hidden, here you can peer round corners and use the two types of targeting, or simply whip your gun around the corner without peering around yourself, thus reducing the risk of getting yourself shot at the cost of reduced accuracy. You can roll around to dodge bullets or roll into a wall and assume the cling position, duck behind objects and whip your gun above it in a similar fashion to whipping it around the corner. By pressing X when you’re near to another character, you’ll take them hostage to use as a human shield, by whipping out your gun you can put it to their heads or shoot other characters that pose a threat. The controls during these sections are everything we could have hoped for resulting in a perfect mixture of HeadHunter, MGS2 and GTA3 that gives you more freedom then in any of these titles.

ולסיכום...:

There’s so much to say about The Getaway, but we had better save some for the review; for instance when you’ve finished the game with Mark, you can take control of Frank Carter, a ruthless copper who you’ll come across half way through Mark’s adventure. This design allows you to see both sides of the coin, exhibiting a style of game design more akin to a film then a videogame.

The Getaway is certainly different to what we were expecting, playing nothing like the GTA3 clone that we believed it would. Despite the surprise, The Getaway impressed us with its amazing visuals (arguably better then anything else on the PS2), it’s strong cinematic nature (which really does feel like the next Guy Ritchie flick), its intense action sequences and attention to detail.

We’ll have a review soon, so make sure to stick with TVG for all the latest information on The Getaway.

OMG!! שימו לב לרשמים של האתר Total Video Games מהמשחק:
We've been wanting this one, and we're sure you'll want it too as we take an extensive look at The Getaway.

Reportedly one of the most expensive videogames ever created and having been in development for the previous five years, you can understand why SEEE wanted to get The Getaway out in time for the lucrative Christmas market.

Billed as GTA in London, we recently received preview code and have been putting the game through its paces; can it live up to GTA3, is the hype surrounding the quality of the cinematics to be believed, can The Getaway recoup its massive development costs???

Anyone who has followed our previous coverage on this title will know that players take the role of ex-crim Mark Hammond. Forced back into the game by gang leader Charlie Jonson when his wife gets murdered and son is kidnapped; Mark finds himself set up for the murder and blackmailed to undertake a series of jobs for the notorious crime boss and king of the London underworld in order to see his son again.

To be fair The Getaway is more like Headhunter then GTA3, instead of presenting the gamer with a free-flowing adventure where their choices have a direct consequence on the progress of the game; The Getaway is a tightly-nit experience with a strong storyline and distinctive missions that follow one after the other. Although this type of gaming structure isn’t as appealing for long-term play, The Getaway presents a cinematic experience that is unrivalled in the videogames industry. The moment you see the first cut-scene, you’ll find yourself scraping your jaw from the floor; never before have we seen a computer game look so realistic, everything from the perfectly crafted motion-capture animation to the attention to the smallest details such as proper volumetric fog to recreate cigarette smoke will astound you. The Getaway is the first time that actual actors have been digitally recreated for inclusion in the game, providing both the motion capture and voice-acting to ensure the overall look is as accomplished as could possible be hoped for. Having watched the introduction, you’ll also realise that this is one of the most adult orientated titles created; copious amounts of violence and swearing decorate the intro, however it’s not just in there to boost sales, it plays a crucial part to setting the atmosphere of a classic London gangster film throughout the game.

The first mission saw us having to visit our old haunts in SoHo; to prove your allegiance to your new boos you’ll have to torch your old friends nightclub, killing your old mates in the process. Of course you’ve got to get there first, which is quite a task considering that Team SoHo have recreated over 40Km of inner London to splendid detail. We were amazed when both Metropolis Street Racer and Project Gotham gave us digital representations of famous cities, however The Getaway takes it all one-step further. Once again it’s the attention to detail that stands out; a huge amount of famous shops from Burger King to The Link populate the pavements of Oxford Street, whilst the East End looks as dirty and seedy as you’d expect. Driving through London is a tricky affair as the developers have managed to cram the streets full of traffic and pedestrians, perfectly recreating the congested nature of London. Again the attention to detail is marvellous; civilian traffic acts the way it should, stopping for red lights, getting out of the way for Ambulances and Police Cars; we witnessed one crash scene and were amazed to see the police waving the traffic through the narrow gap.

The actual driving is a great mixture of arcade physics and authentic realism, each of the games 50+ cars all handle and respond differently, however the best aspect is the portrayal of loosing control at high speeds; whip around a corner at 50MPH and you can expect to be slip-sliding all over the place, fortunately you never seem to lose total control, it’s been designed to heighten the adrenaline levels but still keep it fun by ensuring you’re not crashing all the time. Of course crashes are inevitable, and despite featuring a whole selection of licensed cars, they all feature a great damage system that sees bodywork crumple, tyres blow out and windows crack then shatter to pieces. As with GTA3, if it all goes wrong you can jump out of the car and hijack another; everything from Citroen’s to London’s famous Red Buses can be stolen to help you through the adventure.

A very neat touch that heightens the cinematic nature of the game is the complete removal of any type of HUD or icons on the screen, instead your blinkers will tell you which way to go, whilst your health is depicted by increasingly dark patches of blood appearing on your character. Of course you’ll not find any health pick-ups throughout the game, so to increase your health all you’ve got to do is wait against a wall and your character will rest against it and begin to replenish his health, very neat!!!

OMG!!
ברגע זה ,זה הפך למשחק שאני הכי מצפה לו!
יותר מvice city!
כמובן שיהיו לי את שתיהם,אבל the getaway פשוט נשמע כל כך מצויין כל כך ענק כל כך יפה! דיי אני גומר פה!

As the credits rolled to the sound of rapturous applause from the audience, a traditional London bus rolled up outside to usher guests to top nightclub Fabric, where a host of top DJs including Grandmaster Flash, Jon Carter and John Digweed kept the numerous revellers partying hard until the early hours of the morning. A fantastic night for what is certain to be a fantastic game.

לא, האמת היא שאין סיבה מיוחדת, חוץ מזה שהוא שיחק במכבי.

The Getaway is scheduled for release in Europe on December 11, and in North America early next year. For more information, check out our previous coverage of the game.

בנוסף לזה אם השוטרים מתנגשים בך מאחור(מה שקורה מן הסתם הרבה)והורסים את הווינקרים,לא תוכל לדעת את הכיוון ותצטרך לגנוב אוטו אחר...טימטום כבר אמרתי?

על הon foot:
Your word for the day is "script." This half of The Getaway operates according to an ironclad script, which dictates enemy placement, enemy behavior, trap locations, and thus the actions necessary to get the player safely from one end of the level to the other. The script is always the same every trip through each shootout (as well as the one or two stealth-based missions), and so success is not necessarily based on quick reflexes or careful surveying of the situation so much as it is a matter of learning the script. Trial and error is the method, as it was in Max Payne to a degree. The camera is a significant issue here, because it rotates relatively slowly as Mark moves around. It's definitely possible to be shot by an enemy before the camera swings around to show where they are
על מערכת הכיוונון:
The automatic aiming system is a frequent source of trouble at present, because it is an absolute requirement in firefights. There is no option to simply hit the square button and fire at the nearest available target, a la GTA -- the player must zero in on a target with the R1 auto-aim before firing. R2 enables a free-look mode where it's possible to fire at any available target, but that isn't a viable option for a shootout due to the amount of time required to tick the analog stick over to the desired aiming point.

This would be an only minor limitation if the auto-aim always worked as desired. However, it still has some problems as yet. First, it interjects an extra button input between seeing a target and opening fire. The AI bad guys are not so constrained, which means that enemies frequently get a shot off while Mark is taking aim. He usually gets the last laugh, since the bad guys like to sit back and think for a bit before popping off a second shot, but that damage mounts up through five or ten opponents. Furthermore, the auto-aim has a nasty tendency to pick the exactly wrong target in a tight moment. Given the choice between a shotgun-toting bastard five feet to the right and some club-waving bobby ten yards to the left, it seems to prefer picking the more distant target, as opposed to the vastly more dangerous one. This is an issue that I very much hope will see some tweaking before the final version is released.

בנוסף הכתב התלונן על שיטת מילוי החיים(אין pick-up-נצמדים לקיר והחיים מתמלאים אוטומטית)בטענה שהיא הורסת את קצב המשחק,וגם על הAI הרע של החברים שלך במשימות מסוימות.

כמובן שיש שבחים בכתבה על הגרפיקה,קאט סינס וכו',אבל כשרואים את כל החסרונות האלה הדברים הטובים לא שווים.אני הולך על gta:vice city.

הם שיחקו בגרסה הסופית סרנדה, המשחק הזדהב בגרסת ה PAL שלו לפניי יומיים שלושה...ולא מפריע לך מה שהם התלוננו? כל מה שהם התלוננו קשור היה לשליטה ולגיימפליי...אז אתה קונה את המשחק בשביל מה?..
