Are you joking? I really hope Soho strays as far as possible from their little dream concept. The no HUD thing does just not work for me. In Ico it was nice, in The Getaway it is annoying. I mean add a map for god's sake, they have maps in real life...why can't the player see a map when they push start or something? I'm fine with there being no health recovery items, but leaning against a wall for health isn't anymore realistic.
Well actually the only thing that bothers me is the lack of a map, and the turn signal directions.
The no-HUD works perfectly in the game. I don't see any problem with the blinkers in place of a map--as long as you don't follow them blindly, and use them as a general approximation of where you need to go, they work great and don't require having to pause the game to examine a map (that's boring).Grizzlyjin said:
What I do want changed: less automated controls, and a camera that doesn't have to wait for you to let off the control stick to re-center on the character.

I dunno, I don't think a pause menu map would be that helpful. For a map to work, it'd have to be in-game, like your average racing game, GTA, or Driver. Especially in London--those streets don't make sense like US streets do.Grizzlyjin said:You say boring, I say helpful.
I don't know what that means. At all.Minotauro said:
Personally, I love the handling of the original Getaway. The cars are super responsive, the physics are very solid and challenging, and it all let me dodge through traffic just fine. I wouldn't ask them to change anything about the vehicle controls.
Just the on-foot stuff.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
The first was trash, I've never understood the love it receives on here. That said, you could tell (just like with so many games) how it could have been a good game given more time, effort, something. I hope the second addresses the firsts shortcomings.

They have a pretty stupid system set to keep young kids out. It says to enter the year of your birth to gain access. I put in 1986 and it won't let me through...yet I'm 18. That just seems kinda dumb that they didn't take months into consideration. Of course I could lie about the year, but eugh. Little things like that always bother me.

The intro song is awesome. It sounds like something Portishead would do. That reminds me of one thing I really wanted in the original, different radio stations.

It means that the cars are almost too responsive. Even with just subtle pressure on the analog stick, your vehicle veers uncontrollably immediately. More often than not, I would find myself veering into oncoming traffic or any of the numerous obstacles that would bring my vehicle to a sudden halt. The turns are just difficult to gauge and the obstacles too plenty. Granted, this is all based upon maybe twenty minutes with the franchise in total and maybe I would get the hang of it in the future but it isn't immediately satisfying in the way that the GTA series' handling is.
