RacingFreak | The Getaway - Preview vs Final Mission 16 Cutscene Comparison @RacingFreak | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
A lot of differences to be found in this short cutscene that aren't so obvious during normal gameplay! Apart from lightbars not turned on and a different camera angle in the first scene, and once again we see the bigger sign of The Republic. There are once again issues with longer portal loading delay when the scene switches to Chinatown and the colours on Yardie's gang member jacket are more saturated, as well as different shade on the pants and different colour on the tie of the Triad with coat whose pants turn pitch black during the shootout scene. Blood particle effects are also different. Once again, Siu Fung is referred to as Sing Fu, this time in both versions - this was corrected starting with PAL 2.03. Every scene shown in this comparison has been synced as closely as possible and matched as some timings are slightly different. I must also note that this cutscene appearing in PAL 2.03 and all later revisions than PAL 1.03 appear to be actually based on this very same Preview cutscene version as lightbars are also off, first scene's camera position is the same and overall scene timings are all a match, including longer portal delays compared to PAL 1.03. I'm very well aware that later revisions of the game contain "censored" version of this cutscene, but since they are mostly close up zoomed camera angles, this doesn't create a fair and accurate comparison to make. All comparisons shown thus far are Preview vs Final PAL 1.03 with the grand exception of Filthy Business which contains additional comparison footage of very different BT van in the later revisions of the game. Taxi for Mr Chai?'s cutscene similarly has different camera angles in later revisions. I have plans for a future video exploring all of the revisional and regional differences, so stay tuned for that!
