Getaway PS3 finally in pre-production

Silver Mirror | April 28, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 Company 
Getaway PS3 was with great joy to the fans shown off once at E3 and then vanished without a trace. Many have since wondered what has happened to the long awaited sequel to the dark crime sim and now there is finally an answer, Getaway is currently being worked on by a small dev team, which will be later joined by additional members after other PS3 game 'Eight Days' is released
We can’t say we were ever huge fans of the PS2 Getaway games, as they lacked in many areas in terms of gameplay. However, their effort to try and offer gamers some solid British Gangster videogaming was a welcome one. We just wish it came off better than it did.

Nevertheless, it now seems as if Sony’s London Studio will be getting another chance to impress, as the PS3 version of the game has finally been confirmed to be pre-production, and is being currently worked on at the studio.

The Guardian reporters that “A small team is working on pre-production for the next iteration of The Getaway” at the moment. In the future they will apparently be “joined by the bulk of the Eight Days team when the latter is completed.”

    Seeing as they say "PS3 version", I'm assuming this game'll be a multiplatformer?

    Pity; all the newly announced games are all multiplatformers lately.
