SCE Europe has annoucned that it has stopped production on two PS3 titles in development at Sony London Studios. Both the new The Getaway game and Eight Days are on indefinite hiatus. Frankly, the games may not have been the best of the best, but the PS3 needs games nomatter what, this is not the best move, we think.

"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.

TheGuardian has posted an expose on the Sony London studios, so we can get an update on just what is going on behind the closed doors there. The developers are apparently ramping up full production on Eight Days right now. On top of that, a small team is working on the pre-production of the next installment of The Getaway. If you remember, we say a tech demo on the PS3 of the Getaway, way back at E306.

Sony is apparently in talks to produce a movie version of their Getaway series of games. This is according to Katie Ellwod, who wrote the first two Getaway games. In top of this, the PS3 version of the game is still on track. Good news all around, may be we can get Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock Stock) to make the movie.
