10 Obvious Video Game Remasters The Industry Is Ignoring

Often drawing comparisons to the Grand Theft Auto franchise and heavily inspired by crime-comedy films such as Snatch, The Getaway immediately sets itself apart as in its setting: an open-world London.

Where the development was initially stunted due to the scale of the level design, a modern adaptation in the right hands could make this transition seamlessly.

Based around a former member of a Soho crime family, the player assumes the role of Mark Hammond. Upon your release from prison your wife is murder and your child is abducted, with Mark being forced to commit crimes for the Bethnal Green Mob to get his son back.

You venture around England's capital, driving and shooting under the strict directive of the mob. This is just the first half of the game.

In the second half, you become the recently suspended Detective Constable Frank Carter, whose task it is to undo much of the damage that Mark caused in the first half of the game. These storylines operate parallel to each other, with Frank and Mark directly meeting a few times, creating an interesting clash between two viewpoints.

Rare is it that we see an open-world game nowadays set outside of the USA or a medieval fantasy realm, so The Getaway's London would be the perfect playground for us under-represented Brits.
