based off this i bet you'd love the film Layer Cake mate
You should try The Getaway Black Monday next it has a more detailed and bigger version of london
'I'd never shoot a policeman in real life'
Thanks for clarifying that Tom, thanks.
Heâs just letting the American audiences know
Thanks for repeating and your sarcastic gratitude James, thanks.

He's a London taxi driver so playing a game in a cab around London shooting people is a bit too close to reality lol.
You're a cop ?
Imagine if this game was re-mastered for next gen
Honestly, wouldn't require much changing to the map! And they could do it so well!
They developed it, but pulled investment to focus on EyeToy. The graphics looked amazing too.
Rumours are that Sony is working on a new one for PS5! They trademarked "Soho engine" and the original developers were Team Soho
Thereâs always a game that finally makes me buy the next console⊠historically it was usually GTA but a Getaway remaster on PS5 would do it.
no
I remember playing this game as a kid in 2002 and then driving into London for the first time in 2007 and knowing my way around. Still to this day I reckon itâs the reason I moved here and became a London Bus Driver đ Every time I go down Westminster Bridge Road and under Waterloo station I get flashbacks. Best game ever đđ
The most amazing thing about this is that they weren't sued into oblivion by including a ton of shops' real names and logos
they bought and had permission from all the logos at the time dufus
BT and an art gallery complained, but that was about it
On the PSP version of this game; Gangs of London, there is a mode called Taxi where you drop people around the city using only your own knowledge of the layout, no gps or anything, itâll obviously be a lot different to the real world London but you should give it a try! Not sure itâs in any of the others.
Yeah it will be now as the city's changed quite a bit since then.
Gangs of London is an elite TV show n all
The getaway black Monday on PS2 also had a taxi side mission! It was timed though so you'd have to drive crazy and the vehicles indicators would show you where to go
Try the second game. "Getaway: Black Monday". I seem to recall the map was slightly bigger/more detailed?
Map was the same. And they downgraded the driving mechanics to be more GTA like
The map was more open in Black Monday, for some odd reason certain parts of the map in the Getaway only seemingly open up towards the endgame or at certain parts in Frank's campaign.
Hi Tom, there was a game that came out in 2000 called "Midtown Madness 2" made by Microsoft, which would let you drive around San Francisco and more importantly London. They even had a Cab Driving School where you complete driving tasks in a black cab. Might be worth a look
That one was one of my favourites as a kid. Please try it.
Loved that game đ
Amazing game with so many great mods
Definitely worth a play!
The original first batch released of Getaway, (the first one), had an old grey BT Ford Transit van in one of the missions, where you had to break someone out of a Snow Hill Police Station, but the first release was recalled back within a month, due to BT stating that they did not want to be part of this kind of mission, so they re-release it as a second batch, with an ordinary plain white Ford Transit van for that mission,
(The only way to find out if you have the original copy, is to look at the game disc, the second batch has â#2â printed on it, where the original doesnât have this)
đđŒ
Thanks for the fact!
Play the Getaway Black Monday. It's a more updated London to the Getaway....... and the graphics are a tad better.
And has a taxi feature
You should try playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which is set in Victorian London
Yeah I was about to say that also. Such a great place to explore.
Watch Dogs: Legion map includes AC Syndicate map + more streets and boroughs
@@DarkDutch007 very, very vaguely - I don't think the WDL map was based on the ACS map, and I doubt there are any substantially shared assets (as very little of Victorian London still exists). Is the Palace of Westminster the same in both?
Absolute classic!! I remember all the cars in it, nostalgia is strong. At the same time I was playing Gran Turismo 4, Medal of honour rising sun and many more
Now they are some absolute belters of games. Donât make them like that anymore
Brethren... you are legendary for making this video.
I am from the US, and I am so grateful I had the chance to play this game when I was between 9/10 years old... it really gave me a cultural lesson on London and its sights, slang, etc. Til this day this game is in my top 10 of all time, including the soundtrack... so damn GREAT!!!
The Getaway is a Fab game! i love the fact that they actually implemented real cars too gives it more of an atmosphere of early 2000s london with all the old cars.
I remember playing the getaway with my dad who was a london dispatch rider in the 80s and he knew all the roads.
This unlocks so many deeply held memories for me, i played this game relentlessly for ages. Exactly like you, i would get to Free Roam and just trundle about in a Micra, using indicators etc..... great vid.
Iâm amazed by the amount of brands they have included
That was great fun and such a nostalgia trip for you.
Really pleased to see you've figured out how to put a map in the corner of the screen - looking forward to this in other videos
This was like a walk down memory lane for me. I was about 11 when I got The Getaway too, my dad completed it for me so I could free roam, it was epic to see London so detailed in a video game back then!
Brilliant video. I used to take A LOT of black cabs around London during the era of this game. And funnily enough I was working at 16 Great Marlborough Street - right where the game spawns you in free roam mode. Itâs really impressive how accurately this game recreated London back then - Iâd forgotten about that abandoned old building on the big roundabout south of Westminster Bridge. Takes me right back 20 years.
Just discovered you tonight when your Watch Dogs: Legion video was recommended.
I learned so much about London whilst watching and the whole time I was thinking: He should play The Getaway and show us how accurate it is because it was advertised at the time as a true depiction of London but you and many of your viewers have obviously beaten me to it.
Just a word of advice if I may, viscount is pronounced vycount.
Thanks for the entertaining and educational videos. Keep up the good work!
It's amazing that when you said there is a place where you can get these really fast cars, I instantly knew where you meant! And like you I never knew exactly how to find it back in the day, but would stumble upon it mostly out of luck.
16:12 my dad was a driver for City Link for nearly 20 years! I went out on deliveries with him a few times during the school holidays, loved it
Brother, That was flipping amazing! Being an American, I knew when I was playing this at the time it came out that I'd never see it in real life. Now I listen to LBC and here Steve Allen or Nick Abbott talking about just life there really but it takes me back. So thank you. That was fun.
What a throwback! Loved this game as a kid remaster/remake would be amazing
This game taught me the roads of London at 14. Haven't forgotten since!
I have tried to find a video doing this exact sort of thing with this game so many times. This was great, brought back some brilliant memories.
The effort put into this game before google earth and coordinates etc. I watched the making of anniversary and the guy was explaining eh had to go out to every street and take photos which can only be 8 pictures on 1 floppy disc then sort them in the office and then manually place each façade on a building.......
I cant imagine how many hours was put in. What a marvellous achievement.
One of the things I love about this game is that you can use real London knowledge to navigate in it, and you really showed that off.
Hearing you know about MR2s and sounding excited to hop into it made my night tonight. I own 3 of em and i always get the same excitement :)
Glad you gave this game another look. I gave the game a try a few weeks ago and retraced the route from memory I used to drive from Whitechapel to Nine Elms about 25/30 years ago. I used to drive night shift out of Southend and ran into Nine Elms, Mount Pleasant, Liverpool Street etc when I worked for Royal Mail. It was absolutely spot on and as the game dates from 2002, all of it was how it looked back then. Great achievement on the game developers part. Don't forget to have a look for the Vauxhall Firenza in the rally colours parked in a back street in the St Pancras area in the game. I always used to go and nab that for my in game run around. Subscribed too. Great channel!
I subscribed to this channel,what a nice guy.professional in his job,polite and respectful,i do the same.Hats off to you fella ! if younger people were all like you the world would be a better place,i don't often give compliments,but you Sir deserve it.
Your videos are so calming and entertaining to watch
Well done Tom, good and interesting video. Playing this when it was first released still playing the same disc as I've always kept my trusty old PS2 and Gamecube and still play both. Love this game and even now like that it is never easy. When first playing it around 2002, then after trips to London I was amazed how I knew where I was.
I loved "The Getaway", it was a fun game, but sadly Sony Computer Entertainment Europe completely botched the North American release. First of all they didn't release it in North America until after the new year, 2003; over two months after "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", and missing the crucial Christmas season. Secondly-and maybe most egregiously-was that they omitted the paper map! With no in-game map either, it made navigation of the game's version of London very, very difficult for North American players. We only had the turn signals ("indicators") to guide us, which made getting from point A to point B a tedious slog. ("Vice City" came with a paper map, a full in-game map and HUD mini-map...)
The Getaway was my first and only PS2 game I ever played đ€Ł I remember playing a little bit every morning before school. It's so awesome to revisit it with someone knowledgeable about London
Now that's a throwback! Love it!
Only Tom could do a sightseeing tour of London while being chased by a dozen cops
you have brought my childhood memories back Tom classic days
One of my favourite games on the PS2. Loved the idea of driving around a real city. Great selection of cars too.
I love the casual tour while the cops are smashing into you đ€Ł
Love this! Another fantastic video.
Addicted to your videos, I was in London yesterday and I was looking out for youâŠ.. needle in a haystack comes to mind tho lol
Loved the game when it came out. I had never been in london before the game was released. It helped me understanding how big of a city it is. Couple years later i have been visiting. And some spots I could recognize them by the game. Its been a while since first time in london so i came back this year for business. Some things never change.
The car list for this game was incredible loved cruising around in a highace or old transit đ€Łđ€Ł
I literally just wondered if the knowledge would be useful in a game, then thought of Getaway, then searched it and bam, there you are đ I love it someone actually did this
Hi Tom. Seen a few of your videos already and really like them. Just one thing that got me, at the beginning you said "you'd been to London a few times as a kid". Obvs as a Northerner can't tell the difference( you sound proper London), but if you aren't from London originally maybe do a video on how you learned London streets so quick and how hard it is to learn them? Love the vids mate.
Really enjoyed this
Nice one man. Really enjoy the gaming parts. Keep them up!
Great video mate! Keep up the good work! đđ
I still vibe to that yardie crackhouse music
What a game. Blew me away at the time. we were supposed to get another one on PS3 but it never happened . Apparently there's one on the works for ps5. I've never been to London but I never actually thought it was a sort of true recreation of the place but watching this I'm shocked how well they have nailed the look and perspectives. I just loved how it felt like England and the cars were real cars from the time. The shops and logos and stuff were all things we seen day to day. Especially the BT van haha. Loved it
As soon as I saw you play Watch Dogs: Legion, I immediately thought that you should play The Getaway. And here it is! So cool to see.
Wow this takes me back! Iâd be the same age as you by the sounds of it, and this was such a cool game!⊠really wanna play it my self again now haha
Watched the watch dogs video yesterday and almost commented about this gameâŠđ
one of my childhood games right here đđ»
OH MY MY I LOVED THIS GAME. Also wondered what it would be like knowing London streets, it seemed awesome realistic. After watching first seconds of it... I remembered graphics way better than they actually are lol
I'm loving these videos! Going to buy Watch Dogs legion when I get home because of them! A crazy one to try might be The Italian Job (PS1) - I remember cruising round 1960s London in that having no idea where I was going
I bought this game on release. I thought it was amazingly realistic with a great cinematic feel. I was totally sold on the London aesthetic, which they nailed. I remember trying to infiltrate a yardi crack den. Soooo realistic!
Loved this game when it first came out. Used to live and drive round London in the early 90s, and it was just stunning seeing places and names and vehicles that you know and loved in a computer game. One of the most realistic depictions of London ever done.
Not too sure I liked how you kept mentioning how old this depiction of London is though, to me it was only a few years ago. đđđđ
Makes me sound old. đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€
Awesome. They did so well for 20 years ago!
Great vid Tom, Iâve always been curious to see if it was accurate
Nice one Tom, The Getaway was my favourite game all those years ago. I know it's been suggested a few times but you should definitely do the sequel Black Monday! Pretty sure they added more areas, and you could get onto a few rooftops. Graphics were a bit better too and it has a taxi mode!
Same age as you and I did the same thing with the indicators and driving normally on free roam modeđ. I've always loved the accuracy of the map on The Getaway. I do prefer The Getaway Black Monday though, so would be good if you could do that at some point
Scotch corner was quite accurate. When you came up Sloane st, you had to go left, then right to head east. It was also the original Edinburgh gate where you could go in / out to South carriage drive. Then they demolished to building above and that ended that.
These are amazing, more!
Nice vid Tom
I remember playing this every day and driving as far south towards Peckham as you could get. The edge of the map used to stop at St Georgeâs
Circus, sad but I used to go there every day and wish you could get closer towards the old Kent road đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
đ love this
I would love to sit in your cab.. You look like a lot of fun and enjoy a good chat lol đ
Such a shame they cancelled The Gateway 3 even after being announced. Great video, what a nostalgia Tom!
It was teaser trailer they never announced the game
Great video mate, funny I was only thinking of buying that game again lol
Man I love/hated this game. Felt like cut-rate GTA...i wish they remade.
Love the channel fella! Might see you about London!
Glad people are still playing this game.
I remember playing this game so much that when I went to London first time I knew exactly where I was going.
The game certainly helped me with navigating my way London for the first time I visited there.
12:52 look at the guy on the right lol
Tom "oooo"
Italian job ps1 was my intro to driving in london never played this game might need to have a go love getting the ps2 out!
Loved that game immensely.
Would love to see more games set in London and probably other cities in the UK today, the yanks keeps getting all the video game spotlight ;)
Watch dogs legion
@@vanillasplash6198 The near future setting with drones and holograms ruined the vibes for me, hate it. Still at least it's progress.
Just incase you were wondering.. yes, the Strand underpass exists in the game.
Was looking for someone to comment cheers
@@cdog728 np
AWESOME Video Dude. đđ.
Hi Tom, love the videos. Could you play the getaway black Monday, it was released a few years after the original and would love to see your reaction to it.
i used to love playing this game bk in the day, when i completed it i used to find a single bus and just drive it around the bus stops lol
Those railings were at Oxford Circus to stop pedestrians crossing except at the lights - and particularly important during Christmas shopping.
Funny enough, I have been waiting for this video since you previously mentioned the game in one of your older videos. I used to love this game and from what I can see it came out in 2002 so I would have 9 years old playing it. 18 age ratings didn't mean much for games back then lol
it sounds awesome
Mark Hammond what a legend !! Set fire to the bar Republik!
I was wondering when you would do the getaway lol . Keep up the good content and I wish they would do a new follow on to this game
Love that the scuttle-esque round window in Tom's room is the same shape as his cam overlay haha
I should just line my head up with the porthole on my boat haha!
@@TomtheTaxiDriver Haha absolutely!
Ps2 game with indicators that work and show you witch way to go to your next mission. Leaps forward from other games.
ive never been to london but i think nkow my away around from video game i played it over the years loved it
the routemaster buses are magnificent
Nice video man, would you do the sequel âblack Mondayâ after this one pal!?
It's an almost identical one to the first game.
Loved this game when I was a teen, LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY
Come across Your channel today man earned yourself a sub quality content đ
I remember there was a hidden Penny Farthing near one of the museums in this game
still got this game for my old PS2 slim
great old school console fuckin love it
My favourite part of this game was the fact it had real cars and is probably part of the reason I'm fascinated with 80s, 90s and early 2000's cars.
Fun fact is all of the vans are perfect replicas of ford transits but they didn't get the licensing for the transit so just changed the lights to make it look different.
Iâm now blowing the dust off my ps2 and digging out my copy of the getaway lol
Bro please carry on this series and play every game that depicts London. I will watch every single one.
Will do đđ». I just need to find more games, assassins creed next
@@TomtheTaxiDriver I was hoping you would do that one đ
Imagine a full game where you're a London taxi driver, ala Crazy Taxi but with realism....
"what even is this car?" That sir is a Daihatsu Sirion, which coincidentally ( for me) you promptly crash into a Laguna estate, which I used to have when I was a taxi driver , I also had an R33 Skyline đ. That sports car that keeps spawning at around 3:30 is the Jensen S V8, lucky to see so many as they only made about 20 đ
