'Eight Days' (PS3) and 'The Getaway 3' (PS3) Canceled

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today canceled two games from its the London studio, third-person shooting/driving/action game Eight Days and action-adventure game The Getaway. In 2003 Getaway developer Team Soho and Studio Camden merged to form Sony London, which employs over 200 people. SCEE issued a statement saying that the projects were halted "due to the redistribution of resources and budget."

“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.

“Worldwide Studios has a reputation for innovative and entertaining games, with titles such as LittleBigPlanet, SingStar,Buzz, EyeToy and Eye of Judgement, and will continue to push the boundaries on all PlayStation platforms.”
