You probably remember some talk of the 3rd installment of The Getaway, for the PS3 & some of you may not remember, but the ones who did, Eight Days. I personally never was a fan of The Getaway series and when Hiphopgamer asked me to write this story, I will admit, I was a bit skeptical, but now, here I am...
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
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.
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
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
I would love to see eight days come back!
i was already going to get killzone day 1, but now i think ill get 6 copies.
so i am good to go :) now just hoping that at least Eight Days comes back.. don't really care about the other one.. coz ive never heard of it, or seen anything of it :P
Neither on of these games has been canceled indefinitely,expect to hear about 1 of them at GDC
