The adorable debut of EyePet at Leipzig Games Convention was quite possibly the biggest surprise of the show. The innovative use of the PlayStation Eye, coupled with one of fthe most adorable creature designs in recent memory, made it one of the most high-profile titles we showcased on our site during the Convention. Although it's still not planned for a release late next year, it benefited from the controversial cancellations of other SCEE games, such as Eight Days and The Getaway.
Polygon: "We look back at Sony London’s dropped PlayStation 3 buddy-themed action game."
So Sony cancelled Eight Days but didn't know that it was them who cancelled The Getaway 3
Getaway series should be brought back especially now that Sony has more diverse developers. Getaway 1-2 HD remakes by bluepoint
What went wrong for the co-op action title?
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.
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.
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.
It never made it past concept and rockstar shut it down.
Research before mocking cos u look like a fool.
Its funny that you make fun of PS4 when we literally have the better games
The trailer was completely faked and they didn't have anything actually working according to a Eurogamer video
What the hell happened to once hyped Getaway series?
I can't believe I clicked this article. The writer adds nothing new to what we already know. Didn't bother updating anything with Sony London or Sony themselves. No new information was giving. Don't waste your time reading this article.
Everyone falls for a Gamingbolt clickbait once... 🤗 Best know to avoid the crap from now on, friend.
I still think London Studio is one of the most under utilized yet most capable devs in the industry. Whether its Sonys duing or their own decision to only focus on peripheral based games and smaller projects, i really wish they would get/take a shot at a flagship title
You're probably right on the under utilization of the developer. But I'll say they are the most successful risk takers at Sony instead of them just making another expected third person game. There's plenty of those.
Getaway is no more but the quality from them is definitely there with their other products. Blood & Truth VR being one of their recent killer rides. Call it a spiritual successor. Still wish they could have used that PS3 Getaway tech demo data to make B&T bigger. Or ported the original Getaway to VR. But they probably only had a small amount of funds to use.
But we need at least one of Sony's top developers making VR games that is capable because it's not like the other top teams are jumping in anytime soon. Not even a small 8 man team on the side just to say they tested the waters of VR.
They need to reboot it and really put a lot of thought into it
Do it the right way and this could be Sony's Grand Theft Auto if they wanted.
The UK has tons of cities to visit aswell. London, Manchester, Newcastle Upon Tyne etc
Rumor has it sony have some sort of exclusive with rockstar on the next GTA. Talking of that..
This would really seal the market up for them.
Also interestingly I remember getting a Sony VAIO Pro 13 laptop it had some sort of special SSD the way it's interfaced which motherboard was light years ahead back in 2013 then nvme. M. 2 and all that jazz came along with my little laptop from 2013 already heard similar albeit not by name.
Just goes to show they are ahead in technology terms ASWELL as games. I cannot wait to see the SSD speed on ps5. I'm thinking it's twice as fast as competitors..
Now you would think all manufacturers would using off-the-shelf Samsung made fastest Evo model but from my laptop I had in 2013, I know so if they put their minds to it, they they will make a better one.
(just incase anyone's interested)
I also think it's down tuo how big a loss there wiling to take per console.. and being Japanese, very humble... I'm sure it's quite a lot!
There was a rumor that made a lot of rounds on the internet in the winter last year about PS5 specs and next generation launch games, including said GTA exclusive and Bad Company 3, long before anything official was mentioned about PS5. The PS5 specs, to this point, was pretty much spot on, especially if you've been paying attention to AMD since then, and some games on the list have even been confirmed in development. There was also the false report about Sony buying Take Two, which could have been the GTA deal misinterpreted.
So before anyone writes off any rumors, let's wait and see. There's a lot of time between now and next generation. And it's not like there's no precedence for GTA timed exclusivity on PlayStation.
I think when this game is out and completed
they will announce the getaway and 8 days again
as a hardcore gamer and a fan of getaway since ps2 i really hope they bring the game back,and same gose for eight days. when they release the eyepet start working on it again bcuz i really liked what i saw from eight days and i liked getaway 1/2.
I'm sure this is good news for some, but the hardcore gamer in me screams F**********!!!!
Getaway and 8 days will be back in make after this ..
u m may look at it as crap but dont foret this gen there are more causal gamers than last gen,the wii is eating all of them up so i can see y sony is bringing out a game like this.....but i still agree with u...bring back 8days/getaway 2.!!
