Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that it has cancelled production on two PlayStation 3 titles that were in development at the Sony London Studio - Eight Days and The Getaway.

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.

Just WHAT the FCK is Sony thinking?????? Man!!!!!!!!!

Didn't finish this part

in the near future, resource should be reallocated to enhance those projects closer to completion.

I hope they mean KILLZONE2.

I dont know man BUT sony did drop the ball on this one!

VG247: Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojimas given a gold-dust interview to IGN, saying that Metal Gear Solid 4 has been made for those that have followed the series for the past decade, and admitting his relief that the game is about to launch.

Its been ten years since Metal Gear Solid was released in the US for the first time, said the Japanese dev legend. People who are experiencing Metal Gear Solid for the first time will enjoy it, but it also adds more enjoyment to the people who have followed MGS for ten years, because you can always look back and think about what you were doing ten years ago, or five years ago, and look back to your life, to yourself.

I want people to play MGS4 and feel what they were doing ten years ago, or four years ago& Ive chucked all those elements in there, so you could look back to your life, to yourself, so that you can absorb that and go beyond that in the future as well. Thats the part where I emphasise it is for the users. It is for the people who love the Metal Gear series.

This man is the best Developer out there!

Kojima is a perfectionist and he is modest too. Compare yo Itigkia TECMO guy that got fire, Kojima sounds liek a saint. I think he made MGS4 in the right direction. Base on the review posted already, this episode will be more adaptive for first time players and also without neglecting past MGS4 fan. I am about in the middle, so I am really happy MGS4 is one of those games that I know i won't regret after buying it. Totally worht the $60.

Its sad that SOny dorp the ball on 8 days, but I think they might be focuse on speeeding up other project. Its bad news but maybe its a good thing.
