"The Getaway to big a game for Gamecube."

I for one can't wait to see if the Getaway can come up with the kind of gameplay and graphics that it reputes to have. Having seen the screenshots signs are very encouraging.

The thing is a friend of mine asked if there was going to be a GC version. A Gamecube disc would not be able to store 1 square mile of London let alone 20miles, so sorry mate you stick to your kiddie titles like Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.

i think that was EA that said that , i read it somewhere that they had easily got 15 million out of it will al the special things added etc. Whats a few million polygons going to do the graphics anyway , when you look at the standards of games with say 12million (i dont know what they are , but most probably run at this) then you dont need more polygons, you might aswell use the extra space to make the gameplay better and add extra multiplayer features or something.

Tra la la la la!

Ahem... anyway, ever heard of multiple discs...? How about dual layering? What about the concept of thinking before you type? Ah... didn't think so...

Yes, Hes a cat that can control time itself.

That gives a few bits of information about the game, and a few movies aswell.

Yeah, I read about Blinx in XBM. Isn't it about a tabby cat?

PGR 2 comes out 2004.

Remember its essential you get Blinx: Timesweeper, that comes out in December.

I might wait for PGR 2, as I'm on a tight budget. Hopefully I can manage to bag a Gameaday before the end of the year but my top priorities are Halo and the Shenmue series.

Halo 2.


lol ;)

*Drools over Project Gotham Racing*

Thats a phat racing game, the replays are proper realistic. Maverick are you going to get PGR when you get your xbox?

I really don't think Dave RJR or Techno Freak know what they're talking about at all. This is a site with all the facts:

[minus spaces]

It proves that the X-Box is most powerful, with the GameCube a very close second. The PS2 lags behind by a considerable way. Oh, and can name me a game that betters the graphics of Resident Evil or Project Gotham Racing?

Thought not.

I'll agree the PS2 has the most good games, but Gamecube has the most excellent games.

Techno Freak, That is one of the most stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone ever say. '' How could they fit 1 square km on a disk that size'' some thing like that anyway.
