Eight Days’ Stars Add Insult to Injury
When it was announced that Eight Days was being canceled in favor of Eye Pet, there as a great disturbance in the force felt by hard core gamers all around the world. Many questioned why such a promising title would be canned. Recently some new screenshots have hit the web and is stirring speculation about this title still being in development and reveals an all star Hollywood roster.
Many of the screens below appear to be a more advanced stage of development then when we last saw Eight Days. Even more surprising is this highly anticipated title looks like it was going to star three of Hollywood’s finest. None other then the talents of Ving Rhames, Dennis Hopper and Gary Oldman were tapped for Eight Days. None of this lends any credence to the game still being in development, but it certainly throws some salt into the wound for those eagerly awaiting this game.
So why would this game be canceled in favor of Eye Pet?

i am going to think its because they saw more potential in EyePet and Eight Days looks a bit run-of-the-mill to me

I would be sooooooooooooooo disappointed if they canceled it for good. This could be “That Game” that everyone wants. (After uncharted 2 of course!)

Eye pet is better, everything can’t be about shooting/slicing/punching in the melon.

They cancel this and the getaway for eye pet….
My God…
I mean… Eye Pet sounds cool and all but it’s a game that (in my opinion) only kids can enjoy for more than a month… even though it may be cool for everyone for the first weeks of game,but I bet that after that the game gets old. I think it’s just another book w/ pictures to paint, though a Hi-tech one. (and yes I know that it’s not just paint and draw).
And I must remind you that a sequel to one great last-gen game was also cancelled (the getaway)
I think it was cancelled because sony wanted to inovate, so I can’t really say that they made a poor decison, or a good one, because Eye-Pet may be a little bit childish, but it created a new eye toy tech, and pheraps HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will feature this tecnology (HP3 featured Eye Toy minigames).

this game god canned for EYEPET?!!!!!!!!!!!
you have got to be kidding me EYE PET???????
wow i always thought sony were stupid, but god they dident have to prove it to me.
why the ^%$# would you can a milti million dollar seller, a game that had the change to be game of the century, with a cheap crap kids game?
seriously WTF?
its like caning uncharted 2 for singstar.
or canning god of war 3 for haze.
or canning GT5 for buzz.
or…….. you get the point.
seriously why can a game that had so much potentional for a game that will struggle to sell 1M units and is not going to break any records.
and has no chance in hell of getting game of the year let alone century

I think that this game was just delayed to make the development for the EyePet faster. Looks good though.
