Just been reading this news story...

http://special.reserve.co.uk/news/story.php?id=2266

...which says that The Getaway has been "heavily censored" in Australia.

Bit soft, these Aussies, eh? Considering they're a bunch of criminals themselves... since when did HM's largest open-plan prison develop a moral stance? ;-p

There are also no buses - well, not that I've seen, anyway.

I'm sure they've just been removed for the demo, as they did have to fit quite a bit of other stuff on there too. :-)

Yep, they've got the ratios all wrong. Let's hope that's because it's a demo and certain cars have been removed and replaced with others - for example loads of Lexii but not one Mercedes (I haven't seen any anyway), and the Toyota's are the only sports-ish car I can find.

You never know, they might release it early, but then that's unlikely. Though I still think it's unlikely to be released in the middle of the week. We'll see anyway, only a week to go now.

Maybe Sony, being who they are, just wanted to be different.

Or all the sites got there info from the same source which was actually wrong, and they will all be changing it very soon.

Is it reasonable to think that the date will be 'put back' to the friday of that week? Or are they just after a head start on all the other games that week?

I only realised today that 11th December - the release date for The Getaway - is actually a Wednesday!

It must be right, because everywhere has that as the date - but isn't it a bit odd? Games are ALWAYS released on a Friday!

Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

It could be, let's hope so. There's two more shotguns in a room up some stairs I think, if you ever drop it again.

I think it'd be a cool idea if you could do something to the gangster's car that affected the game later on. For instance, and this is just hypothetical, if you shoot a tyre out then the chase mission after it becomes easier, or the mob give you a harder time for destroying their property. Just an idea :)
