Yoshida-san confirms Rat Race has been scrapped

Posted on July 16th, 2008 at 09:34 EDT

President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida has issued a status update on Rat Race, confirming that the PlayStation Network episodic title has in fact been cancelled.

Speaking in an interview with PS3fanboy, Yoshida commented that the team were ultimately not happy with the how the game was shaping up, stating, "So, yeah, we stopped it. We really liked the concept; it's like The Office TV series.”

“It was kind of funny but we were not quite happy with how the game was turning out and there was some difficulty in development.”

A video of the title can be viewed below for those who are interested.

I don't particularly care for this game, but Yoshida comes on board and several titles (8 days, Getaway, now this) get cancelled? What's up with this guy?

It wasn't actually a game, more so episodic content of some video (or I could be wrong).  There was an announcement at the PS Blog about it.

I'm with Inbetweener on this. This guy shows up & stuff starts getting cancelled. I've come to expect this news from 3rd party developers, but Sony studios? Come on now. I smell a mole.
