Game: Eight Days



Not much is really known about this game except that the story was going to take place during eight days. The trailer came out when mock PS3 trailers were all the rage. But I had no idea this game was even canned until Kotaku broke the news. Apparently the game was canned because of "because it was lacking in online capabilities. And that's important." Also "Phil Harrison replacement said that Sony "looked at how it fit in the portfolio and where it fit as a production" when deciding what to keep and what to cut, pointing out that resources don't exactly meet expectations." So goodbye Eight Days. We hardly knew you.

Here is the trailer.

Since it's 4:37 in the morning I thought I would put my brain to work. So I've come up with a idea called "Canned games you've forgot about..." This is version 1.0. Basically I'm testing the waters with this. So lets get this started!

EP.1 Demonik


Remember that one game called Demonik in the film Grandmas Boy? Yeah, it was actually a real game by Terminal Reality. It was going to be published by Majesco. But then Majesco decided to pull the plug on this game and The Darkness when development costs got too high. So then it just sat there and waited for its doom. A few months later it was canned. So all that's left is one trailer and some footage of the game in Grandmas Boy. To be honest I think Majesco would have raked in some cash off this game. For a couple of reasons. 1. It was going to come out on a dry couple of weeks. All early 360 owners know what I'm talking about. People were buying games just because there was nothing new out at the time. 2. It had Clive Barkers name on it. That's before his name was ruined when Clive Barker's Jericho came out from CodeMasters. Such a shame... 3. It seemed interesting. So give the trailer a watch and tell me...are you glad the game got canned or do you wish it was still around?

Here is the trailer.
