CriousGamer Writes...E3 2009 will kick off in about a week from now and like every gamer in the world we too are jazzed about it, but it won't be a lie if we said that at the moment Playstation3 fans are more excited about E3 2009 then any other platform lover.
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
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.
I think Sony needs to bring these two games back. More exclusives are always great.
I certainly hope The Getaway returns.It always had a more mature story than the GTA franchise
The way i saw Nathan Drake ducking for cover, flipping over tables for cover, shooting behind cover, dipping to another cover position etc in uncharted 2 made me think of eight days
Hopefully the Getaway returns. Such potential as a franchise...
Yes it had a mature story then GTA, but the story of Niko Bellic was amazing rest of the GTA stories weren't so great.
