Want to speak to the guy who's producing and editing the demo trailers?

He's not far away. (in fact we're actually doing it at the moment!! ..spooky)

From Amazon:
driving action in gigantic London environments
...
How gigantic?
The developers boast that it takes 15 minutes of real time to drive from one end of the city to the other.

15 minutes in London traffic doesn't get you far!

Cerbie
Toyota IS200
Datsun Micra
Police Vectra
Saab 900
Black Cab (Fairway)

I love the sound of blasting round a proper reproduction of London though.. Midtown Madness was kinda there, but I couldn't show off the knowledge that I picked up from 6 years driving round London, cos half the roads were wrong, even if they lead to the right places.. if you see what I mean..

So do you think Cabbies will be able to get The Knowledge by playing this game? Surely it can't be that accurate?

[Whoozit]

Snowhill Police Station!

Been watching some telly, then?

It does not say a release date - or am being too lazy to look? And if it has been released anyone got any reviews?

[dennisthemenace]

It comes out on the 6th of december according to amazon

[dennisthemenace]

Just a thought when your racing through london have you got to pay red kens toll charge

It's deadly accurate - the black cab won't go south of the river, mate.. not at this time o' night..

Will all the cabs in the east end be driven by that Slater bloke from Eastenders as he seems to be the only bloke in their universe who drives a cab? He drives everyone everywhere.

You probably have to enter your credit card number so you can get fleeced £5 every time you drive through the centre

This game seems to have been on the way for most of this year without a release date. I read somewhere there is 50 square kilometres of photorealistic London.

According to people who worked on this game, its probably the biggest white elephant since the bastard offspring of Michael Jackson and a woolly mammoth.
Years in the making, it would have been scrapped long ago had they not poured so much mismanaged money into it the just..had...to...go..on......must...finish. Sony do NOT expect to make anything back like the money they spent on it.
At best it will give a glimpse into what it could have been. Avoid!
