It might have already started.
Anyone who got a game from SR recently (mine was Vice City on Friday) might have noticed a London A to Z in with the package. Of course it was a fictional one, it was advertising The Getaway, and to be honest, I was really impressed by it!
For those that haven’t seen it. Its a large map on it with, what looks like a A to Z of London, with loads of roads on it and buildings as you would expect to find, but if you look closer, you will notice all the road names are actually cockney sentences, that I presume will be used in the game. Then on the other side there’s the usual info on the game. It was a pretty big piece of material.
The work put into it seems to have been on a high scale, so if Sony are prepared to go that far for a paper presentation, what else can we expect.
Especially with around a month to go till release.
> Ortega got his from another company, and that also had the A-Z.
I sure did! I really dont recall writing that on this site though...must be old age creeping in!
I guess Sony are thinking along the lines of "everyone who likes VC will surely be interested in a game like the getaway"
And I doubt Rockstar would mind too much. Didnt Sony pay them off to keep Vice City a PS2 exclusive :)

Well if there were a group of strange men outside your house taking pictures and making sketches a few months ago, then your house will probably be in it :)
