A lot of people were disappointed to hear that Getaway 3 and Eight Days were canceled for EyePet. After some leaked footage of Eight Days surfaced on the internet, it turned into hatred. Well now the games still have a chance. Art Director over at Sony London has revealed that these games are on hold and not canceled.

GK: Before EyePet, the teams at Sony London were working on two projects that have since fallen by the wayside: Eight Days and The Getaway 3. Can you confirm that both of these have indeed been abandoned?

ND: I would not say they have been abandoned, just put to one side. Much work had been done. The studio just wanted to focus on its strengths, EyeToy and SingStar. Given the potential of EyePet, priorities have been changed, but the other projects aren't dead yet. Ultimately, the decision [to put those games to one side] has benefited everyone.

    Well that's definitely smart, hard to believe they would just discard all that preliminary work for nothing.

    Don't care if we never see Getaway 3 but I hope they do release 8 Days as if it's like the trailers it will be a brilliant game.

    Eight Days looks like an urban-themed Uncharted. Which isn't bad considering the success of Uncharted.

    The Getaway 3 - Directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch, RockNRolla), probably would make it the best British gangster flick--I mean 'game' out there.

    Hell yes!

    I'm more excited about Getaway 3 than 8 days, though the latter looks really good, going by that leaked trailer a while ago.
