4 cancelled PS3 games we want to see on PS4, but probably never will

"Now that PlayStation 4 has been blown wide open (well, sort of –we still don’t know what the box looks like), it’s got us thinking about the myriad of games that we’d love to see on the platform. While there’s the usual suspects floating around in our wish list, such as Uncharted, God of War, Resident Evil, The Last Guardian, and Assassin’s Creed etc. we’ve also cast our thoughts over some of the PS3 titles that sadly never saw the light of day.

"Wouldn’t it be pucker if these lost gems could receive new life on Sony’s high-powered next-generation machine?"

Dam has it been that long since we've seen eight days? Ps3 launch and now the ps4, I'm doubting that game might ever come out, shame they shelved it because it looked to be a big seller

ichimaru4048d ago

In retrospect 8 days looks very do-able on the ps3

Samus HD4049d ago

If a Game like shadows of the colosus would be released..
than an automaticly BUY for PS4

JKelloggs4049d ago

Agent? I know that hasn't been cancelled, or spoken of for a while.. Hope they can shed some light on it soon.

USMC_POLICE4049d ago

Agreed I'm hoping they just delayed it for ps4

HOO-HAA4049d ago

After they've finished GTAV I hope, I bet it's multiplatform too!

GABRIEL10304049d ago

The Getaway, I enjoyed the first game, was great.

USMC_POLICE4049d ago

They were both great did you try the second one?

cleverusername4049d ago

It was brilliant, loved the Hammond cameo in LA Noire too!

CaptainYesterday4049d ago

I remember hearing that The Getaway is just put on hold while focusing on other projects but it seems like it won't come out at this point it's a shame a lot of people were looking forward to it. Also what about Agent, Heat, and inSANE I hope those games happen!

Kingnichendrix4049d ago

They cancelled it in the end because it was too expensive

HOO-HAA4049d ago

Getaway and Eight Days were canned for EYETOY, EYEPET AND SINGSTAR!! STILL winds me up to this day!!!

The story of Eight Days, one of Sony’s canceled big bets

Polygon: "We look back at Sony London’s dropped PlayStation 3 buddy-themed action game."

Kiwi661610d ago (Edited 1610d ago )

So Sony cancelled Eight Days but didn't know that it was them who cancelled The Getaway 3

neutralgamer19921610d ago

Getaway series should be brought back especially now that Sony has more diverse developers. Getaway 1-2 HD remakes by bluepoint

I thought It was well known that it was canceled because they felt it was competing with too many other cover based TPSs including their own Uncharted. Wish they would've brought it back, but by now I'm sure Londin Studios isn't interested in making it anymore.

ApocalypseShadow1681d ago

Yup. Pretty much. Sony thought it was redundant when they were downsizing to streamline the company. I wanted this game so bad. It was right up my alley. Action, action, action. Still think Ving Rhames would have been the black guy and used his likeness. Maybe Sony could also have paid Jason Statham to be the white guy.

Would be cool if brought back and rebooted for PS5 with all its destructive backgrounds.

After Blood and Truth's high octane action elements, I'd even take a full PS5 PSVR game. The car shooting from the helicopter, driving in the streets gunplay, shooting set pieces with glass and things flying around like in the gas station in the video above. That's Blood and Truth gameplay right there.

Give me 8 Days VR. Lol! Wonder what Sony's VR Studio Manchester(formerly North West Studio) is doing or making? They haven't announced anything yet.

More Like 8 Years Amirite?

-Foxtrot1680d ago

Considering Uncharted is kind of over and done with as a main priority maybe they should bring this game back.

However I'm not sure if they should keep the heavy co-op or stick to being a pure single player game. Just seems like playing with an AI if you are by yourself might get annoying in a game like this.

CaptainCook1681d ago

What happened to PlayStation exclusive, Agent?

Greatness Awais.....

milohighclub1680d ago

It never made it past concept and rockstar shut it down.

Research before mocking cos u look like a fool.

Brave_Losers_Unite1680d ago (Edited 1680d ago )

Its funny that you make fun of PS4 when we literally have the better games

OldGuyStillGaming1680d ago

This is a question for last gen

Everyone knows it was canceled

Profchaos1680d ago

The trailer was completely faked and they didn't have anything actually working according to a Eurogamer video

Eight most promising looking games that were cancelled

In this article, we try to list eight cancelled games that looked the most promising. Before we start, if you haven’t already, be sure to read this list over cancelled games, too.

Phil322888d ago

Mega Man Legends 3 is the one cancelled game that sucked the most for me. Blaming it on the fans was a real jerkish move, too.

TGG_overlord2888d ago

Well, ain´t that the truth of the day...

Promising? Maybe they sounded good, but, for instance, Redwood Falls and Shadow Realms never saw the light of day because they weren't anything exceptional. The tragic ones are the ones like Star Wars 1313, which was cancelled because of Disney's buyout of Star Wars, or Insane, which was cancelled because THQ was going out of business. I can only guess that Agent, Eight Days, and Starcraft Ghosts never made it anywhere because they didn't live up to expectations. Maybe they weren't any good, maybe they were too ambitious, maybe the tech at the time couldn't support them . . . we simply don't know.

I was once excited for the Pirates of the Caribbean game, Armada of the Damned, but chances are it was cancelled because it wasn't living up to expectations, so there's really no point in being letdown by it.
