There was a story about this however this is updated and more direct.

Awesome, awesome, awesome is all I can say Eight Days looked so promising and I was disheartened to 'hear' it was abandoned.

1.4 - I disagreed with the critics
I loved Getaway 2, it had its flaws, but it was a great game nonetheless.

I can't wait till Getaway 3, London is a very unique city and it's a shame so few games are set there.

They should definitely go back to those projects after EyePet. They will also be better games than if they were not delayed thanks to the continued experience with the system!

Eight Days vs Alan Wake?

2.1 - Yea I know what you mean...
I was an early adopter, getting my PS3 around the time the first Uncharted was released.

Man, those days were rough. I remember tons of negativity online about the PS3, and I was also always eagerly waiting for the next big release, cuz well, there weren't many compelling titles back then.

It's so different now. Wow. Always some new title around the corner that beckons.

3 - I already said Eight Days wasn't abandoned a long time ago...
...it was obvious since the destructibility, music, and graphis of Eight Days and the getaway was directly connected to Killzone 2.

3.1 - Music?
what you on about Eight Days and Getaway 3 was initially meant to be launch titles in the very first place.

Getaway and Eight Days are totally different genres when compared to KZ2.

I hope this gets shown at E310 or better yet get an official reveal like U2 and GOWIII at Xmas like last year.

3.2 - Aquarius, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say, but if you need proof, here it is.
If I declare something, I can most likely prove it: I don't like to go off half-c0cked about anything.

1. Eight Days was supposed to be a game with around five to eight real big cities in the game (like Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, etc)which was supposed to be realistically rendered; that in and of itself would take a long time do finish. Furthermore (Fuzzy on this point) the engine for Eight Days was supposed to support the ability to go inside virtually any building, like that grocery store in the link's photos,

http://playstationlifestyle...

or the restaurant in the demo. Plus the city was supposed to have people in it, like a real city is supposed to, not barely inhabited for a city it's size like GTA IV was.

2. The graphics were to have neigh-realistic lighting, destructibility, and effects not yet perfected at the time of the Eight Days demo (like the fireball explosion from the Eight Days demo)

Only TWO games that were on Sony's Roster from SCEE could do one or the other but not both: Killzone 2 and The Getaway. Now, you would need the abilities of both Killzone 2 and The Getaway combined to get the realism and size of Eight Days, given the fire effects and explosions of Killzone 2 plus the cityscape of The Getaway.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Most likely they pulled their sources from The Getaway to work on other aspects of Eight Days while the effects and lighting was perfected in the Killzone 2 engine.

Just a guess, though.

Besides: anyone ELSE notice that around 1:30ish the music from Killzone 2's desert scene was playing in the background of this clip?

The pillars form the Eight Days demo are directly from Killzone 2 as well.

I think it was mentioned at the time of the 'cancellation' that it was so Studio London could help out Guerilla finishing off their engine. Now it's complete, they can use that engine for future games, regardless of genre.

I would much rather have Eight Days and or the Getaway 3 then Eye Pet which I will never buy. But I guess they have to appease the young'uns as well as the old farts like me.

11.3 - You guys said the same about Killzone 2
You know, because metacritic said the first one sucked, the second one will too. And afterwards, the same people that said that are NO WHERE to be found when they're wrong and move on to something else to troll on(usually sales). Nothing new here.

what interests me the most isnt that the getaway and eight days aren't cancelled but that he said there halfway done so for all we know these games could get a release date in late 2010 and early 2011 but come on now the getaway 3 and eight days put on hold for eyepet and sing star that kinda bothers me

I can't wait until I can play Eight Days. I so want a great co-op
split-sreen game to play with my brother and that game looks like it will be great fun. I also can't wait to see what can be done with the Getaway license on the PS3.
