Game developers are a dedicated bunch. When IGN made a request to talk with someone at Deadline Games regarding its work in progress, Faith and a .45, IGN shortly had Game Director Søren Lundgaard on the phone. The catch is that he lives on the other side of the world where the local time was pushing midnight. IGN offered to speak at a more convenient time but were brushed off -- working this late was normal. IGN're not complaining as the short phone conversation revealed a wealth of information on the original title.
IGN: I know this is a tough thing to answer because you don't have a publisher yet, but in the press release you mentioned consoles as target platforms. Is there any chance of the game also showing up on PC?
Søren Lundgaard: Yeah, very likely. We develop it on PC and its part of negotiations with the publisher but we are able to deliver on the PC with very low costs. So I would very likely also on PC.

Between studio closings and budgetary cutbacks, these titles were cut down before the could ever be developed fully, leaving those who read about them or watched early gameplay trailers to forever think of what could have been."
One of the worst moves by square, what the should have done is brought that team in officially and have them continue to make chrono Resurrection.
An opinion piece looking at 16 cancelled games and the author attributes his opinion to as whether he believes they will be revived in the foreseeable future.
Gotta hate cancelled games but sometimes it is actually quite okay, if a game is shit etc.

"Now that PlayStation 4 has been blown wide open (well, sort of –we still don’t know what the box looks like), it’s got us thinking about the myriad of games that we’d love to see on the platform. While there’s the usual suspects floating around in our wish list, such as Uncharted, God of War, Resident Evil, The Last Guardian, and Assassin’s Creed etc. we’ve also cast our thoughts over some of the PS3 titles that sadly never saw the light of day.

Dam has it been that long since we've seen eight days? Ps3 launch and now the ps4, I'm doubting that game might ever come out, shame they shelved it because it looked to be a big seller
If a Game like shadows of the colosus would be released..
than an automaticly BUY for PS4
Agent? I know that hasn't been cancelled, or spoken of for a while.. Hope they can shed some light on it soon.
I remember hearing that The Getaway is just put on hold while focusing on other projects but it seems like it won't come out at this point it's a shame a lot of people were looking forward to it. Also what about Agent, Heat, and inSANE I hope those games happen!
Getaway and Eight Days were canned for EYETOY, EYEPET AND SINGSTAR!! STILL winds me up to this day!!!
well the game is still far off in dev. The explosions looked mad crappy though
Stupid. So f*cking stupid. I got my hopes up for what? A new Tomb Raider preview and this crap? Gimme a break.
