Eight Days Looked Insanely Good, So Why Was It Cancelled?

PlayStation 3

Eight Days is canceled. We know that. However, before it’s cancellation, we’d barley seen any footage on the game, leaving a lot of us wondering what it would have been like. Jim Jagger, 3D animator for the game, has released a demo reel containing footage of Eight Days. Boy, did it look good.

There’s some footage of EyePet and Looney Toons in there, but most of it consists of Eight Days gameplay footage. The cover maneuvers looked fantastic and I could not see exactly why Sony would stop production on this. Even if it lacked multiplayer, they could of just, you know, added it. So take a look see for yourself — what Eight Days could have been.

    There has to be some logical explanation why this game got the axe. What it could be is well beyond me but you’re right, the game LOOKS awesome (I refuse to refer to it in the past tense).

    Maybe someone should start a petition to get the game back on the assembly line and get finished proper. Even if the story sucked I would play it over and over again just for the animation. Love the part where the characters are hiding behind the car and one guy moves the other guy out of his way as he walks to his other side. Genius. He’s already walking out of the way but the animation was more real world like, get your @$$ out of my face and move it, we’re getting shot at!!!

    Excellent. Hopefully Sony will pick this back up and release it late 2009. Based on how far along it looked they could probably get it out by Summer.
