A last-gen game innovated the current-gen more than any current-gen game has.

The Getaway

• Recovering Health/black and white screen when you're about to die.
• Realistic moving slower/animation changes when hurt/damaged.
• Wall cover system

The Getaway was just a trainwreck of a game. To think I was insanely hyped for it and picked it up on release day, only later that night to jump off the nearest hill and sprain my ankle. The fall didn't kill me and my stupidity.

didn't Halo CE come out before the Getaway?AdmiralDan

no i think your the only one who is that desperate for ownage!!!!!! but it ends in epic failure

Gears of Wars owes itself to The Getaway. Thanks team Soho, without you Gears of War would not exist.

Recovering Health isnt an innovation.. I hope. Just a form of casualizing and dumbing down. Anyway regardless of The getaway doing anything new the game was a forgettable experience.

[QUOTE="angry_fork"][QUOTE="AdmiralDan"] Yes it did, but Halo didn't have all of the 'realistic'-like stuff that Getaway had which is in GTA4. Can't believe i'm the only one who see's it, maybe i'm one of the few who actually played it.p0g0theclown

Recharging health was never innovation. Its more of a step back of you ask me. Most games these days can't even use the system right.

No way, Jose.

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"][QUOTE="angry_fork"] Thanks for the sarcasm but that's not what I meant. You guys are missing the point. GTA4 had 'realistic' movements and stuff, which Getaway had. Getaway had the first real cover system (that I can remember). The whole 'you get shot and have to wait to recover' thing was in Getaway. I just find it interesting that the game got such low scores, and is rarely talked about, but it did try a lot of new things which ended up in the large amount of current-gen games.angry_fork

Mafia on PC had realistic driving.

Winback on N64 had a cover system.

And Halo had that whole recharging health thing before the getaway.

I love the Getaway!
Didn't the 3rd one get cancelled though?

I always tought Kill.switch had the first cover system that is now used so much. Thanks for informing me. The getaway was a forgettable game though.

I think getaway is one of the most underrated games...it has a cool story and great gameplay
