I'm sure all 21 people looking foward to The Getaway are crying.

Disappointed over Eight Days though, that was looking awesome.

Either way, hopefully this means they don't delay so much anymore ^_~

Seriously? Never played one myself, only thing I heard it had going for it was the shooting was better than GTA.

I didnt really know enough about either game to care. I thought the Getaway looked good, but I didnt know anything about Eight Days. Now that I'm actually hearing about it, it sounded cool, lol.

Oh well, maybe Sony knew these games were going to suck so they stopped them. That's fine with me. Now let's get Home and Killzone 2 already!

I always came on here and said that Team Soho was a joke. The Getaways sucked real bad. We need Rockstar to make a real GTA London now.

sony's official statement says 'stopped', which could mean 'scrapped' .. it's just our interpretation

CVG actually asked the question and got a specific answer, from sony .. therefore i think CVG's comment is more reliable .. it's not down to interpretation, just fact

Exactly,according to their statement they are shifting production to this years exclusive titles rather than working over 2009-10 titles thats a smart move no doubt but for now it should be taken as stopped until its confirm its Scrapped because scrapping big budget titles like those seems senseless but then again nowdays anything is expected lol.

Ugh, nooooo!!! I want another next-gen Vice City, and then another next-gen San Andreas.

I'd rather see the game go to Tokyo than London. It's nothing against London, it's just been done so many times.

Go to Search Board and type Eights Days, and then type The Getaway. You'll see some interesting posts about these PS3 games. I think they need to change that game line up comparison thread again. Another one bites the dust, and another bites the dust.

Exactly. Lol. Go to Search Board, type in Eight Days, and check out all those threads with so much hope. So people can act that they didn't care for The Getaway, but there were definately hype of Eight Days. Ouch.

It's because Sony doesn't want exclusives for its system. It's too busy trying to sell the blu-ray tech for the delaystation so that people who own a PS3 can see the pores on an actor's face while they watch a movie. Woopee. Sony should just ditch the entire effort and offer an Adapter that can plug whatever games are left from the PS3 into an Xbox 360.

Neither were games that I had been paying any attention to anyway. So, if they can apply the resources to aid in the production of more highly anticipated titles, I am all for it.

It was probably Vaporware the entire time, Sony LONDON has been working on home, so this was probably meant for after Home when it was released in 2007.

Making Home turned out harder than expected.
