Sony finally issues comment on The Getaway PS3

Posted on March 7th, 2008 at 07:00 EDT

Sony has finally spoken out in regards to its upcoming Getaway title currently in development for the PlayStation 3, following almost a two-year hiatus after its showing at the Electronic Entertainment Expose  in 2006.

The following comments should come as somewhat of a remedy for fans who have understandably put the game’s status in doubt following two years worth of silence.

"The Next Gen of consoles have liberated us in other ways," commented Screenplay Writer, Katie Ellwood. "There are wider possibilities to use that processing power and tell a story during the game play.”

Ellwood also revealed that Sony is currently "talking to production houses about a movie for the third game in the Getaway series."

"The story and game script for this one is very exciting, as is the writer we have on board. I'm afraid I can't give any further information, other than to say: watch this space," she added.

Stay tuned for more (hopefully detailed) information on The Getaway for PS3 as soon as it becomes available.

Could this be the mysterious game that was commented on by that BBC reporter on CVG the other day? Fits all the criteria, PS3 exclusive, amazing graphics and im sure he emphasised upon the immersive storyline, similar in that to this article. Plus its based in London which may expalin why the BBC got the scoop first.

Getaway games are good but they were limited due to hardware at the time I think this might come closer to gta than SR2. Maybe not but I like they Getaway series. Its gritty.

The only issue I had with the first titles were the horrid controls & camera. Fix that and you've got a decent game guys.

Finally some info about the Getaway 3. If The Getaway 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4 came out on the same day, I would get The Getaway 3 first, that's how much I love the Getaway series. The Getaway is like a more realistic and detailed version of Grand Theft Auto. The voice acting in The Getaway is like no other game and I really love the realism (There is no health meter, there is no weapon hud, there is no GPS/ map when driving).

It has taken literally forever to make this game, there must be a lot to this game if it has taken this long. Hopefully this game will be long and will live up to my expectations.

Can't wait to play this one. They should get Jason Statham to star in the movie. Great one Sony.

@Aclay. I agree with you. I think I want to play this game more than GTAIV. The original getaway was good with a few flaws, but the second one wasnt as good. I think Team Soho can redeem themselves with this one. I cant wait for this game.
