Richard Bunn, a former developer, had noted the game was cancelled shortly after Phil Harrison was replaced by Shuhei Yoshida as president of SCE Worldwide Studios. Information regarding The Getaway 3 was released on 7 March 2008 by screenplay writer Katie Ellwood, who affirmed the action title was still in the works. A technical demo featuring Piccadilly Circus was demonstrated in May 2005 at E3, but this was not directly from the game. The Getaway 3 was to be the fourth installment of Sony's The Getaway series for the PlayStation 3 console and the third main installment in the franchise.
The amount of energy that floods out of the Sun is a fundamental quantity in understanding the impact of solar heating on Earth’s atmosphere and climate. Akin to studying how seismic waves traverse Earth during an earthquake, helioseismology probes the inside of the Sun by studying how sound waves reverberate through it. An international rescue team worked tirelessly for three months to locate and recover it. Two-and-a-half years after launch, the spacecraft suffered a critical error, spinning out of control and losing contact with Earth.

Gangs of London is the third game in the series and was developed for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. In 2020, Push Square included the game and its sequel in a list of games they would like to see released on the PlayStation 4. The Getaway received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. By then, the project had ballooned, exceeding its development budget many times over. Once Mark Hammond's missions are completed, free-roaming is unlocked for his character, which allows the player to roam around the City of London and Central London without mission objectives or time limits.

Left with no other options for assistance, Frank frees Mark and Yasmin and convinces them to team up with him and bring the Jolsons down. The majority of the vehicles in the game are made by MG Rover Group, Jensen Motors, Saab, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Fiat, and Lexus, along with a number of others. The game features a number of licensed vehicles from automobile manufacturers that the player can control, unlike those seen in Grand Theft Auto, which are fictional. Due to similarities to the Grand Theft Auto series, it is often labeled as a Grand Theft Auto clone. Both of the characters can perform a series of physical tasks such as walking, sprinting, rolling, shooting, and taking cover during a gunfight.
The Getaway is an open world action-adventure game played from third-person view in which the player controls the two lead characters as they carry out their missions for game progression. The game was planned to be released alongside the launch of the PlayStation 2 in 2000, but was delayed by over two years due to the difficulty of recreating large areas of London in high resolution. The Getaway is an action-adventure video game developed by Team Soho and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. Team Soho was a British video game developer based in Soho, London and a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment. This United Kingdom video game corporation or company article is a stub.
- The observations have provided valuable data on the movement, composition and dust production of comets.

- The total energy output of the Sun changes very little – on average, by only 0.06% over the solar cycle.
- This allows us to see coronal mass ejections – large eruptions of solar material and magnetic fields – as they set off from the Sun, providing up to three days warning of potentially disruptive incoming space weather reaching Earth.
Solar storm monitoring made law
The hype surrounding the project began in earnest just before E3 2000, when a series of screenshots were published online. Unlike Rockstar Games's Grand Theft Auto III, it was not an acceptable option for the Team Soho developers to break the city up into separate regions and impose a loading time delay when crossing between areas. The title was prototyped and playable missions were made; several screenshots appeared in the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine. After Porsche Challenge, director Brendan McNamara felt that a free-roaming vehicle game was an interesting concept worth exploring. The Getaway's development originated at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on the PlayStation, off the back of Porsche Challenge.
List of software developed
About two-and-a-half years after launch, the spacecraft experienced a major malfunction that sent it into an uncontrolled spin and severed communications with Earth. "Congratulations to the NASA and ESA teams on an amazing thirty years working together." Since launch, it has provided an almost unbroken record of solar activity spanning nearly three full 11-year solar cycles. From a position 1.5 million km away from Earth, located between our planet and the Sun, SOHO has an uninterrupted view of the solar surface.
This allows us to see coronal mass ejections – large eruptions of solar material and magnetic fields – as they set off from the Sun, providing up to three days warning of potentially disruptive incoming space weather reaching Earth. This matches the timeline of the Sun’s magnetic cycle, explaining how sunspots – regions where intense magnetic fields break through the Sun’s surface – emerge progressively closer to the equator over the solar cycle. Then, in November & December 1998, the spacecraft’s stabilising gyroscopes failed and a new race to save the mission began. On 2 December 1995 the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) blasted into space – on what was supposed to be a two-year mission. For example, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission is imaging the solar poles from higher latitude and flying much closer to the Sun, with many of its instruments being successors of SOHO's. This allows us to see coronal mass ejections — large eruptions of solar material and magnetic fields — as they set off from the Sun, providing up to three days warning of potentially disruptive incoming space weather reaching Earth.
However, its extreme ultraviolet radiation changes far more significantly, doubling between solar minimum and solar maximum. Scientists have found that the Sun's total energy output changes very little, varying by only about 0.06% over the solar cycle. Measuring the energy emitted by the Sun is essential for understanding how solar heating influences Earth's atmosphere and climate. This timing matches the Sun's magnetic cycle and helps explain why sunspots, which are produced when strong magnetic fields break through the surface, tend to appear progressively closer to the equator as each solar cycle unfolds. SOHO became a leading instrument in the development of helioseismology, which studies how sound waves move through the Sun in a way similar to how seismic waves reveal the interior of Earth.
5000 comets – and counting!
"SOHO has overcome nail-biting challenges to become one of the longest-operating space missions of all time." The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the game a score of cycling tampa three-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that "the biggest hindrance in The Getaway involves its user interface – or lack thereof – as the development team attempted to make the game look and play out like a movie". The original development staff had little to no experience in the video game industry, with most of them being recent college graduates. They started out with developing NBA ShootOut, the first entry of the NBA ShootOut series, which released in 1996. For example, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission is imaging the solar poles from higher latitude and flying much closer to the Sun, with many of its instruments being successors of SOHO's.
SOHO science highlights
“SOHO is an all-round shining success, thanks to the dedication of the teams keeping this incredible machine flying,” says Daniel. SOHO’s success has shaped the next generation of solar observatories, both in terms of their technology and scientific objectives, as well as being a role model for open data policies and international collaboration. The observations have provided valuable data on the movement, composition and dust production of comets. Most of these have been found by citizen scientists worldwide through the Sungrazer Project. SOHO discovered its 5000th comet in March 2024, making it the most prolific comet-discoverer in history.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe had a range of other titles in development; however, the decision was taken by Phil Harrison to can many of them, perhaps to allow yet more funds to be poured into The Getaway. Although the prototype game was shown behind closed doors, the public was not privy to its results for at least another year. They revealed a level of detail, showing the identifiable streets near Team Soho's studio.
