Forums - Sony - Eight Days: Tons of new footage and screens.

 












 

Sucks that we'll never get to play this.  When it was first unveiled, I wasn't interested in the title in the slightest, but the more I see about the cover system, the action sequences, and the environments, the more I realize how good it could've been.



Around the Network

Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, and Ving Rhames were going to be involved? Fucking Eyepet!



It might see development again later on. If they add online gameplay etc, it might be in the same league as Uncharted.



OMG!!! That guys Hair cut OWNZ Drakes ASS!

Sad, this game looks like an uncharted rival! ... why did this halt for again?



You can't have eight days because you have another title that has mostly the same attributes as this one, and that's Uncharted.

Although 2 of the same kind doesn't hurt...

they should make this into Getaway 3 instead.

That's probably why right there.  Why release two games that are eerily similar to each other?  And considering Team Soho's past work, it makes sense that Sony went with Naughty Dog and Uncharted between the two.

In the end, the game was probably canceled for a mix of three reasons - 1. It looked like Uncharted: Los Angeles, 2. Sony has way too many shooters coming from its internal studios, and 3. Sony London are hard at work on Home, SingStar, EyePet, and other PS Eye titles (probably some stuff to use with the Wand), and Sony figured resources would be better spent on these projects instead.

However, I'm hoping production was merely frozen for the time being, with the possibility of Sony London returning to the project at a later date.  Of course, putting a game on hold for a couple of years and then returning to it can fuck up development.  Instead of taking a creative hook and running with it, you have to try and get back into your groove after a long break, and sometimes it just doesn't happen.  Just look at other games that were put on hold for long periods of time, like Too Human.



I am so mad just looking at those amazing pictures, the colors are amazin fir an unfinished game. Shame on you sony.

Mhm, well in that case its a good thing then. what was wrong with the devs history?

And yeah now that you put it that way PS3 has WAY to many shooters on the way and that are alreayd here, so them working on Home and Eyepet is worth let, it shows variation instead of barbareic shooting freaks.

In the end Innovation is the key VS popular demand even though both are good and fair its worth it to try other things then to make one genre an monopoly... we dont need anymore shooters tbh we need more... versatility.



I can't believe this was a cancelled title
