Sony pulls the plug on Eight Days and The Getaway PS3
NotAZombie | 1:32 PM on 06.04.2008 12 comments


Sad news for anyone who was a Getaway fan. Directly from the source:

"A statement from the Corporation read as follows: "It has been agreed that production of both Eight Days and The Getaway will cease immediately due to the redistribution of resources and budget.

"This decision was made following an internal review of all games and it was deemed that with the incredibly strong list of exclusive first party titles coming up both this year and in the near future, resource should be reallocated to enhance those projects closer to completion."

I wonder what they are putting those funds towards? Maybe the games were just turning out shitty and they decided it wasn't worth it anymore.

Wow, 8 days looked fucking sweet and they cancelled it? Probably for a good cause though, I guarantee it played nothing like it looked in the trailer =P

@Xerosnake90...
you're probably right, but it just looked SO FUCKING AWESOME.

@brainderailment...
I played the OPM demo (God rest its soul)and it was hard as shit. I live in the US! I don't know the streets of London, and I don't care to learn!

I bet they're going to go help out with the developement of Bioshock.

That's my best guess. BTW from the sound of it they're also just waiting for the Heavy Hitter XCLUSVS to pass to boot.

Eight days was indeed looking pretty sweet where the Getaway was not.

I doubt they ever really started on these projects to begin with.

They looked too good; I was almost positive it was bullshot (bullshit screenshot, also can be used in reference to pre rendered trailers).

Rather they were marketing projects. Vaporware designed to build interest in the platform.
