Announced at Sony's E3 2006 press conference, SCE London's new PlayStation 3 exclusive Eight Days seemed too good to be true. Sporting fluid animation, superb visuals, and a revolutionary cover system, the tech demo displayed at the event was perceived by many to be mere CGI, as opposed to real-time footage.
However, in June this year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) formally announced that the game had been canceled; with reasons primarily pointing to the game's lack of online functionality.
In September, a tech demo was leaked (provided below), proving that much of the footage shown in '06 was in fact close to the real game. This tech demo featured the main character in an untextured environment, showcasing the animation and cover system.
Furthermore, Eight Days 3D animator Jim Jagger has released a demo reel containing real-time footage of the canceled PS3 exclusive, showing what Eight Days looked like in full motion. Watch the unreleased footage below.

???? why would they cancel something like that? Those animations were the best I've ever seen. And it was gonna be an exclusive! I really hope they continue with it's developement cuz that one looks like a system seller to me, screw Online features, Uncharted Didn't have Online features and it still sold over a million

wow, this game looks awesome even untextured. What are Sony playing at?
I really wish I knew what their motives are. As time goes by I'm starting to think that they don't know what they are up to either. :(((((
