Gary A Swaby of TheKoalition.com writes: Sony have recently hinted that they have a number of surprises still up their sleeve for 2009. Scott Rhodes spoke in a recent interview saying "There are several titles that are in the works that we have yet to announce, It's one of those things where we're seeing the fruits of all those initial investments. They're all just starting to hit and stack up for 2009."
In my very own opinion, I feel that Eight days to Vegas and The Getaway are back in development. If you recall, Sony put these titles to the side to focus all their attention on Killzone 2.
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.
The trailer was completely faked and they didn't have anything actually working according to a Eurogamer video
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.
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.
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.
"Eight Days" was canceled right?
i swear to god when i first saw that eight days footage my jaw dropped it looked so fun to play if that was gameplay and looking at the leaked animation tech footage from a while back just make me wish it wasnt COMPLETELY CANCELLED
and since then was "Eight Days" called "Eight Days to Vegas"?
on topic i hope both games get release some time in the future coz Eight Days looks real cool and i have always liked The Getaway series.
I hope they bring one of those games back.
Eight Days and Getaway 3 were put on hold.
