Hahaha I remember playing the demo for this years ago and laughing at how shitty it was.

 

[Timedog]

I'd buy that for a dollar.

So Marc Ecko is STILL planning a sequel to this game.

"As we plan the next evolution of our beloved franchise, we are excited to re-release the original Getting Up to a new audience via Steam in partnership with Devolver Digital," said Marc Ecko."Devolver Digital has released every cutting edge game I have played in the last year, and I could not think of a better partner.

I'm trying to find the press release for that.

 

[Persona7]

I would buy this on GOG.

Can someone tweet marc ecko for me? Twitter says my email is invalid when I try to create a account.

 

[Nudull]

This is a really nice surprise. Will be getting ASAP.

Available for the first time in Australia

It's still banned there, as far as I can tell (much in the same way Postal 2 is banned in New Zealand, but you can happily buy it via various digital shopfronts) - not sure if owning a digital copy of Getting Up in Australia is illegal though (owning banned games is illegal in NZ.)

Apparently Marc Ecko actually reached out to Devolver if i'm reading this right https://twitter.com/devolverdigital/status/411563356202352640


EDIT:

Funny thing is

Nigel from Devolver Digital was actually streaming on Twitch a week or two ago, and I saw it in his Steam library, I just thought it was one of the removed Atari games since it was licensed. Glad to see it actually came to this.

Oh man, this makes me happy. Playing the first one on PS2 was one heck of an experience. It had stealth, it atmosphere, it had great combat, great weapons and an interesting story full of conspiracy.

I'd give my left kidney for a sequel by the same developers.

Wait, what? I liked Getting Up 1, but WHAT?!?!?

Who is the developer? The Hotline Miami dudes could do it justice, if we're talking about Devolver devs.

Too bad Human Head and Ecko's collaboration never came out. Sounded crazy from vague details I heard.

Jeff played it today on the GB Unprofessional Friday stream, everyone seemed very fond of it.

 

[Finalizer]

I remember being compelled to pick this up many moons ago, but never did. Might give 'er a whirl now, but does it have PC controller support?

You need the Enhanced Steam browser extension installed. It does a lot of other useful things too.

How did I not know about this? Thank you!

With Marc and DD working together...well...it could possibly be flying Wild Hog. Would be a nice change of pace after Shadow Warrior.

Yes.

I saw this on Steam for £5.99 yesterday and bought it so fast it made my head spin.

I remember reading about this game in the Official PS2 magazine for about a year before it got released and I was hyped as hell to play it.
I remember it got some mixed reviews, but I got it anyway and I was glad I did.

It wasn't the best game I ever played, but it was one of my favourite PS2 games at the time and I replayed it a lot.
The soundtrack was amazing, the graphics were good and from what I remember, the gameplay was pretty varied.

I can't wait to replay again.
