thank god for copy and paste:
Sony has confirmed that its triple A crime-busting PS2 title has cost at least £5 million, easily making it the most expensive European game ever made.
"Sony today admitted that The Getaway, the jewel in the crown of its European PlayStation 2 development arm, has cost at least £5 million so far. While rumour suggests the actual figure is far higher - some estimates put it at well over £10 million - the official line still makes The Getaway far and away the most expensive game ever made in Europe.
Fresh rumours have also arisen of a new slip, with the potential to put the game past the all-important Christmas 2002 watershed.
The Getaway follows Mark Hammond, an ex-gangster attempting to clear his name for the murder of his wife and rescue his kidnapped child. The title has been the centre of controversy since its inception three years ago, especially when spiralling costs were met with the release of the monstrously successful Grand Theft Auto 3 last year; the games are both crime titles based on walking, shooting and driving.
So, it's pricey and it may still be late. Shocker. Watch this space for more on the title as we approach The Getaway's supposed November release date."
Anyway, latest news about the Getaway, it aint going to be released until early December now. Yet another AAA game I really want to play delayed.
