New IP? New IP. I can't think of any existing racing games from London Studio.

Eight days rebooted.
Im just glad they stopped London from working on move games and casual games.

A vehicle designer? So there so a chance these vehicles would be created from scratch... Based in the future on some sort of anti gravity technology?
Please Wip3out!!!

Sony Bend is also hiring vechiles experts
But also animal and weapon designers
Of course Lodon is more likely a realistic racer while Bend is just Crash Team Racing

Their job ads did rather inexplicably start name checking The Getaway among Sony London's 'portfolio' of IPs in the last 6 or 7 months... seems odd to include a PS2-era IP it if it's dead. And it's the only IP among those listed that supposedly is not active or recently active.

It doesn't say an unannounced game in the advert so it could just be Driveclub...the help out other studios as well right?
That would be a bit boring though.

yes, yes.. it would be boring
The Getaway: 8 Days
A sequel to the getaway series involving many of the mechanics seen in the 8 days demo vids. Open world setting in London including all the key landmarks. Its a cop story involving 2 partners working for Scotland yard; Daniel O'Shea a gritty Irish Rozzer with a knack for violence and Joseph Dean (a former NYPD detective who moved to London for his woman) adding comical value.
Plays closer to Sleeping Dogs, and looks closer to GTA5.

Pity those who think this is Wipeout.
Think about it. Why would Yoshida close down Studio Liverpool who were in the process of making a next gen Wipeout and then give the Wipeout IP to a studio whose most recent effort was the massive flop Wonderbook?
They are probably doing cars for DriveClub.

The Getaway was something special in its day. Flawed yes, but to recreate so many streets of London with all those real retailers and companies allowing themselves to be licensed was a marvel that you just don't see much of nowadays. And the BT vans before they were removed! It was probably the biggest attempt at properly recreating a real-world city down to individual shops, at least as close as the technology would allow at the time. Must have been an astonishing amount of work to make, that game.

T'would be boring for Neogaf at least. But unless it is revealed we can still get some miles out of it.
Personally, I would far prefer the Getaway over Driveclub, but I am not a massive racing fan.

OPM UK is teasing a big game for there March cover.
"WATCH THIS SPACE - Next month's cover is one of the most exciting in OPM history, with a series of massive significance finally being confirmed for PS4. Why is this a down? Because we can't say more until then. Sorry..."

Eight Day please. Stranglehold style action with Max Payne 3 tech for gunplay. Uncharted Narration and character.
New thread-worthy? Have we anything else?

No. London is the multi-team studio behind Singstar, EyePet etc, and formerly PS2 titles like The Getaway.
Would make more sense to expand Evolution up in Liverpool if they wanted to do a new Wipeout.

Could it be either the new Elite or Starbound (although this is kind of a new IP)?

No, Sony Liverpool were based in Liverpool and London Studios are based in London. The cities are about 200 miles apart.
You're such a tease!
A new getaway that allows me to use all my actual London street knowledge (just like a fackin' cabbie, me) to do shortcuts during chases. I was bitterly disappointed by the original despite it's very, very good recreation of London.
So yeah, I want a full-on, alleyways and side roads included central London map to play around in...

I guess I'm one of the only guys who didn't enjoy the original Getaway? I thought it was competent, but pretty weak next to GTA, and the driving itself was far inferior to the Driver games. I only played the demo of Black Monday and the on-foot stuff felt better, but from reviews and so on it didn't seem like too much of a step up from the first game.
That being said, I'd gladly see London Studio have another shot at an open-world game. How about The Getaway 3 set in Moscow or Prague or something? I'm not bothered enough to have it set in London for a third time. Hopefully they'll move away from side-projects like Home and family friendly games like Wonderbook and EyePet this gen, as none of that really took off last generation, and back into more 'core' games.
