You won't get away that easily - Getaway 3 still in production
You know what they say; no news is good news. That is, unless you're talking about video games. We haven't heard about The Getaway 3 since E3 2006 almost two years ago. Two years without news usually means the project has been cancelled. Thankfully, that's not the case this time as an interview with the game's writer, Katie Ellwood, has been published today on the British website Den Of Geek. In it Ellwood confirms that not only is The Getaway 3 still in production, but there's a possibility of a movie too."We are certainly talking to production houses about a movie for the third game in the Getaway series. The story and game script for this one is very exciting, as is the writer we have on board." says Ellwood. "I'm afraid I can't give any further information, other than to say: watch this space." Watch this space? We certainly will be.%Gallery-12670%
Warhawk, MotorStorm, & other bootleg GDC PS3 videos
So, are you tired of bootleg stills from the upcoming PS3 titles featured at GDC? (Or bootleg videos from current-gen titles like God of War 2?) Well, it looks like you're in luck, as we've got a few fuzzy PS3 videos from Phil Harrison's speech, courtesy of the embargo-ignorin' folks at Multiplayer.it.What we have above is a clip from the developer demo of Warhawk for the PS3. A voiceover describes the "ambient warfare" to be used in the air-combat simulation game, as well as the innovative mix of "Cell-based software rendering with RSX-based hardware rendering" to produce the graphics. For all you coders out there, it was also interesting to note that the programs running on the Cell's SPUs were not written in low-level assembly (easing development, but possibly degrading performance).While we wait until E3, when a playable version of Warhawk was promised to be delivered, here are a few more PS3 videos from GDC that you might find interesting (with a few unfortunately quite incomplete): Streamed video of MotorStorm GDC footage, also with a voiceover. Streamed speeded-up video clips (no audio) of Warhawk, Getaway 3, Lair, the Havoc physics demo from Heavenly Sword, the bullet-ridden car model demo, and even that video concerning Rachet & Clank. Streamed (basically) audio-only video from Resistance: Fall of Man.
