For those getaway fans out there, Getaway 3 was meant to be released the PS3 before summer well unfortunately it got cancelled! = ‘[

Here is insight of how it was cancelled: (From Wikipedia)

A technical demo featuring Piccadilly circus was demonstrated in May 2005 at E3, but this was not directly from the game. It was confirmed that the game would again be set in London but rumours had been circulating that the game could also feature Amsterdam, which was later confirmed by a video shown at the E3 convention in 2006.

Information regarding The Getaway was released on 7 March 2008 by screenplay writer Katie Ellwood, who affirmed the action title was still in the works. No estimated release date was given, however, Ellwood did say that Sony were making deals with movie companies about the possibility of a future film adaptation of The Getaway 3

On 4 June 2008 The Getaway was cancelled

Now as you can see… The in-game graphics are brilliant! Believe it or not people, but they are the graphics for the Getaway which was going to come out on the PS3. For all the PS3 fans, this would’ve been a GREAT hit. PLUS they were also thinking of basing the game in Amsterdam as well as London! So people of good ole Holland, you too have missed out. This was going to be one of the greatest games on the PS3 based on graphics alone, as well as the depth of the past games.

For all the PS3 and Getaway fan boys, we have missed out on a pretty special game: Rumour has it, this Getaway was going to be based in the whole of London Town, from Westminster to Peckham to Finchley to Hackney. You would’ve been able to go anywhere!! Streets were known to be 95% correct and if something happened in London (a building collapsed or certain decorations or a new car) they would be realised with the updates. The taxi driving mode was rather insane in The Getaway: Black Monday since it was not realistic at all. But in this Getaway, it would’ve been closer to a simulation, with different people asking for lifts to places, AND you would have to; whether you like it or not- follow the rules of the road. (This feature would’ve been excellent, in helping people learn the rules of the road).
