Polygon: "We look back at Sony London’s dropped PlayStation 3 buddy-themed action game."
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
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.
Phil writes, "There's nothing worse as a gamer than following the development of a game you're so excited about, then all of a sudden the developer/publisher announces that the project has been put on hold, or worse, cancelled. Okay, maybe losing your save files to a corrupt memory card back in the day is worse, but work with me here. Anyway, the feeling of utter disappointment is immense. Like with part one, part two, and part three of this continuing series, these cancelled games that were once hyped, whether by many gamers or a select few, still manage to make those that were following them wince."
Call me salty, but I still haven't quite forgiven Capcom for their cancellation of Megaman Legends 3.
They even had a demo that they were gonna release, but then they just suddenly dropped everything.
Putzes, the lot of 'em!
Probably because that was an instance they ask for consumer/fan feedback, got such in large amounts, then turned right around and canceled the game blaming fans.
True Crime Hong Kong and Silent Hills are the only games that I can think of that really had me in tears when I heard the horrific news no gamer wants to hear... cancelled.
You are correct. SquareEnix resurrected True Crime HK as Sleeping Dogs and I'm glad they did.
They did, but they also removed the actually being a cop part. In True Crime Hong Kong throughout the game you could play as a criminal or cop and arrest people but they removed the cop part in Sleeping Dogs. But there is cop dlc that gives you a feel for some of the features that were originally going to be used throughout the game.
The real Star Wars Battlefront 3
Unfortunately what arose was a cash grab polished turd of a game.
I still remember seeing them teasing a dark Obi-Wan story line. Ugh It was made worse as years after it was canceled someone leaked ground to space gameplay that somehow skipped Battlefront EA. Smh
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
