- We're going back to another classic of the Playstation 2 era! I still firmly believe that the Getaway deserves a comeback in the modern age. Some say that the entire UK are still havin' themselves a little giggle.
Be sure to catch me on Twitch and hit the bell so you know when I'll be live!

u havin' a giggle?
I had a giggle but the police arrested me
@@timsmith7858 same
I never giggle, I just loudly reverse-snort
I'm about ta 'ave a fockin' slapple if you get my meaning
This video gave me a giggle
The real getaway was the giggles we were havin' along the way
that's deep man. You havin a gigguw?!
As a brit, the "you avin' a giggle" is incredibly accurate and I'm all for it 😂
I'd love a remastered Getaway, not a remake because the story is already stellar. But going around a 4K London that isn't Watch Dogs Legion's version is the dream ☺️
Nah we definitely need a remake of the getaway not Remastered lol it's basically the same as the PS2 🤣
We might be lucky some day lol ya never know
That cell phone dial had me going, mick. Thank you for the giggle.
I can say as an Englishman, this is basically the finest representation of England in pop culture. 100% accurate. Not even havin’ a giraffe
The bit with the phone really got me
I was this close to making it longer
I thought it was gonna last till the end ngl.
@@MickyD I was half hoping you made the entire last half of the video just pressing phone buttons
@@MickyD 1/10 wasn't long enough
Black Monday was my first when I got it for Christmas one year. Dad knew I played GTA and the guy at EB Games said it was one of the newest open world crime games. I think driving the many great vehicles through London was my most favorite thing about the franchise. I was already aware of and played Driver, True Crime, Scarface and of course GTA. This felt like True Crime turned up a notch in certain areas, but with a far more serious tone. I'd love to see a modern release honestly. EDIT: Scarface would not come out till AFTER I played these games lol getting old
One of the more underrated games on the PS2.
After having a bad day this made me laugh so much, loved the General Grievous cameo especially, he was definitely havin’ a giggle 🤭

NO WAY! My nickname was getaway too! It was always fun going to school. They would call my name in the hall and move out of my way, I may as well have been a God in school. Hearing the girl I liked in 5th grade saying "Ahhhh, get away!!!" Truly confirmed that our feelings were mutual. Good memories.
holy fokin' underrated comment, batman
💀
Omg my favorite now is Micky D doing a brish accent
Ya havin a giggo
The getaway games where extremely close to being generational titles, the graphics, story, voice acting where all f, haantastic, had they only improved upon the game mechanics and maybe added some more light hearted "fun"
Honestly the light hearted “fun” was that of Vice City, it’s now rare to see a game like this that was quite serious all round as, well the plot indeed was too. Only chance you saw or heard was with Jake Jolson’s unintentional comedic dialogues and the pedestrians who road rage that broke the tense imo
I loved this game as a kid. I remember getting stuck on the police station level. How Londoners speak "If u keep flipping your bin lid at me mate! I'll paint your bins red! u hear me son?!"
I remember how much of a big deal this game was when it came out cuz it used real locations and the dev team went around and photographed the whole city for reference and textures.
I also remember finding out you can lean to get health and it blew my mind. There really was no other game like The Getaway in terms of realism at the time.
Don't forget - there exist a sequel to first The Getaway, and PSP "Gangs of London" - which used some assets from cancelled Third "The Getaway".
Also, some screenplay from cancelled Third "The Getaway" - was been used in VR Worlds, and that story about the heist.
How, do i know this (even as a russian gamer?) - it's simply, lead dev of SOHO was said that, in AMA/QnA and also, in interviews - after released of VR Worlds on PS4 Pro/PS VR (First One).
The Getaway is one of my favorite ps2 games. I remember playing it for hours and just driving around London in the free roam mode, looking for secret cars like the TVR Cerbera. The sequel is cool too, check it out if you haven‘t already!
It's genuinely crazy how good this game looks. I've only been to England once and I know this is British architecture.
Mainly because Scotland is the same, ye filth, ye tainted us, give us back our mud huts and blue paint!
There is something poetic about an Irishman exploding cars in London. I'm 'avin a giggle aight.
I laughed so much at this.. relentless. The constant Bill theme playing and slapping got me, cannot believe you made us watch the phone animation for so long 😂😂😂😂
Start of the video: “you havin’ a giggle?”
End of the video: “U ‘avin a geegle??”
The way you aim in both The Getaway 1 & 2, is to use the tip of your weapon. It acts like a semi-iron sight, but in 3rd person. Every weapon will have the tip of it's barrel in the center of the screen, regardless of where your character is.
lol this is weird
That method of aiming is so amazing for its time. The moment I figured I'd out, I was popping heads like watermelons
@@AHSValor When I played this as a kid I thought the same thing. It was the first game I'd ever played that didn't use a crosshair and felt like I was actually aiming a gun. Now, it's obviously janky but you can tell what they were trying to do, be immersive. Like how you have to lean on walls to recover and you get bloody instead of a health bar. Or the turn signals instead of a minimap. It's actually wrote in the manual (the PS2 version anyways) on how to aim, this is where I originally read it. :)
@@kupokinzyt Back in the days when we would literally sit and study the manual before playing. Good old times
@@AHSValor EVERY TIME! Especially my favorite thing to do when renting a game from Block Buster was to read the back of the box and manual on the way home. :D I miss those days.
Giggles aside, hats off to the game you can reognise exactly where in London he is in every scene
13:48 Jesus christ 😂
"Havin a giggle" is definitely one of your best gags to date, you gotta play Black Monday
He did
ruclips.net/video/_HTmmtWdfAk/видео.html
13:48 this part gave me a giggle
I love this because its basically just an Irishman babbling and every so often "YOU HAVIN A GIGGLE?"
I picked a random video to say this on, but:
FINALLY, A RUclipsR WHERE I ACTUALLY GET ALL THE REFERENCES!
(Thank you for every single obscure and non obscure music reference ever)
Back when all car based games either had covers that looked like GT or Driver.
I’m so used to games being set in the USA that driving on the left looks weird. I’m English and drive everyday 😅
Hello
I have a big soft spot for this series. In fact, I recently put out a big video covering them. Considering within a month someone else has made something with a similar sentiment that the series needs some kind of comeback, I hope Sony actually takes note and maybe considers doing something with the IP (hopefully not VR.)
Maybe I was just in a good mood, but this video was pure comedic gold to me.
Had a few giggles from this vid
I'm literally crying!😭🤣 Absolutely frickin hilarious. The Bill music OMG 🤣🤣🤣 What content!
So glad I found this channel.😄
Damn, i havent seen that loading screen in ages and yet it was like it was yesterday when those dots appeared. Like remembering a forgotten memory...
I finished it not long ago and it was such a trip. One trick to help with driving is to use the right analog stick as the gas, kind of like Halo. Found the driving way more manageable that way.
Took me a long time to work out the healing system in this, I had to get through that whole museum section not knowing how.
I also kept hearing about how they got taxi drivers to play this to learn the layout of the city apparently.
play half life 1
this game was literally my childhood. never got too far with the missions so I just walked around and acted like a good citizien lmao
it btw took me months to figure out that you can steel cars in this game
"he burnt alive. Well that's just having a Peugeot to be fair" 😁😁
I played this so much as a kid. Free Roam mode actually has a truly weird number of completely unique one-off hidden cars which I hunted down relentlessly, and now wonder why on earth they didn't just incorporate into traffic (Since a lot weren't particularly weird)
I was having a giggle through out the whole video :D
13:40-14:45 killed me off
I remember watching my dad play this as a young fella and was the first time I saw a man shrug off bullets by leaning on a wall, also still got a getaway sticker on my ps2 from a ps2 magazine back in the day
The phone dialing put my sides in orbit
Fucking loved this game.. would love to see a remake, charley boy
I thought I was the only one in the US who actually played this game
You havin a fookin laugh fam?
No.
I'm havin a giggle - Getaway man
both getaway games could be frustrating at times but i loved them anyway. would love to see a comeback!
every single time you go "u havin' a giggle?" I can't stop laughing LOL
This game is legendary ! They really need to bring it back
I'm here
the commitment to the phone dialing bit is legendary
Can’t even tell you how much I cried-laughing at this vid. Masterpiece here!!!
Btw, Sleeping Dogs is actually a good game...if you can get hold of it's melee fighting system...
This is the glorious absolute chaos i watch micky d for.
Would love more Getaway and giggles in the future
The Getaway games were amazing, I'm totally up for the series returning.
fun fact: Sleeping dogs was meant to be a sequel to True Crime LA but was changed to be it's own game. The story of Sleeping dogs development is pretty interesting.
Can u stop making jokes every 2 seconds, I'm suffocating from laughter.🤬
Thanks
18:33 that's because sleeping dogs is a true crime game, as in it was originally going to be called true crime Hong Kong before they sold the rights to square enix.
Edit: since you asked, I can confirm that true crime games both hold up great, New York is absolutely better than LA in every way, because LA has a good story and combat, but everything outside the main story is boring and pointless, it has no reason to be an open world game, new York improved the open world by making the street crimes much more interesting, letting you do drug busts in warehouses and stop bank robberies and interrupt domestic abuse with reasonable force like grenades.
The last of us is going to be like Skyrim they are just gonna remake it 50 times.
I love how Micky D roasts British culture. I'm currently doing the most British thing I can think of, eating cake while drinking a nice cup of tea.
that Daihatsu unironically deserves to be in tokyo drift
Micky D is my new favorite RUclipsr
The getaway franchise needs a comeback…!
I haven't laughed this hard in a while, 10/10 content.
Oi, you havin a fakin laugh mate? This game is legendary, proper innit. Cor blimey.
Not gonna lie, it truly does. I remember having blast with this game and even black monday, which was bugged to death.
This game was so damn hard when I was a kid
I remember playing this as a kid and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. It hasn't aged all that well but still a classic for me.
To this day scholars remain divided on whether or not he was 'avin a giggle
First impression of the game: A mix between Mafia and Driver
Yer man from The Getaway playing snake on his phone ASMR 10:00:00
Should've added ten minutes of it at the end
We’re going to Cardifff to getaway
Me at 0:00 - This will be good
Me at 26:10 - Giggle giggle, giggle giggle, giggle? Giggle! Giggle... Giggle giggle giggle Old Bill Giggle!
I remember playing this game it was a b to navigate around
Omg! This game was my fav back in the day!
Another one of the forgotten, but yet hidden gems.
England, Mexico, Switzerland. What a international game!
The longer the phone bit went on the more giggles I had
Correction i be havin
This is the most British game in existence
"你個雞巴！"
"I don't speak British!"
peak comedy
That phone dialing animation was too good, 🤣
Wow I remember this game, jeeeeesus this is an oldie
Is this a full walkthrough or just a 1 vid? Also keep up the fantastic work buddy, I can’t wait for the other Harry Potter walkthroughs, your the best❤️
man i really liked this game, it really deserves a remake!
I realize its a bit late to bother commenting this, but. A comeback of this game would definately be awesome, would buy in a heartbeat. Would buy it over GTA6, just saiyan.
That’s dialing bit got me for a sec! Also man I miss this game. Please play more or even some Black Monday!
"are you experiencing a mirthful event?" Classic Getaway
Hammonds passing out so much like he’s in a silent hill game
3:55 Mark Hammond has Wolverine style healing where leaning against walls fixes bullet wounds.
Can confirm, I had a giggle
I've never even played this game but it's so nostalgic to me, the devs really knew London in the 2000s because it's the exact London i remember from my childhood. My dad even drove one of those gold Peuguot 306s when I was little and he crashed it too lmao
7:42 "sell your house for NOTHING!"
when i saw you going against the wall to heal all the memories and PTSD of later missions of this game came to my mind good game but my god the difficulty spikes later
I absolutely lost my shit with the phone scene, I always listen to Micky when I go to sleep and I was so confused.
remember the famous tech demo's for Getaway 3. wished it had come out. There's still time. I loved this game. my familys old street is on it in islington. this game was way ahead of its time graphically
I dropped a like, because I knew you could do it; even if it was predatory! ROFLMAO.
This game still holds up exremely well in almost all aspects (well maybe apart from gameplay and graphics)
