After the break. Obviously, Eight Days was cancelled by Sony along with The Getway earlier this year, but this movie shows plenty of promise, even if it is only a look at cover animations.
Why of why oh why, etc. Take a look.
Update: Looks like the powers that be have pulled the video from YouTube. Sorry about that.
Update 2: It’s back! Thanks Whizzo!

It all looked very slick. I imagine Sony can pick over the bones of this, and still implement the cover system in another game. Uncharted 2 maybe?

Looks great to me. I hope they salvage something from it.

Blah, the video is no longer available.

I assume it’s this one, GameTrailers to the rescue.
Pretty impressive stuff.

It kind of craps all over Gears and Uncharted.
And I am sure these assest won’t be totally wasted. Especially with Bozek gone, the London studios casual approach will never be as valued.

When he does those sliding under thigns, does anyoen esle question, what in real life he’d need to do that for?
Under tables… But that will so rarely need to happen.
Syrok said:
Trailers, holes in fences, containers being lowered/raised, gates being closed.
No_PUDding said:
But be honest, that was difficult to think of wasn’t it?
Holes in fences wouldn’t even work.
And again even if it wasn’t difficult to think of, those are VERY specific.
I don’t see it being useful otehr than a burst of speed, rather than a ducking under mechanic.
Syrok said:
Apart from the fences you see those example in every second action movie.
Yes it’s basically to get somewhere quickly which can be very useful ever now and then when some shoots at you or you have to run away. That is of course not as useful as ducking behind a cover but it keeps the flow of the game going.

Damn that cover-system looks cool! Why is that game canned? Really hope they use that in, maybe en upcomming Uncharted or something…
Syrok said:
It got canned in order to bring this out.

I am sure the technology wil be returned to atleast.
The Animation artist who is workign there is skill like no other. Only SotC animations could revial his.
Splinter Cell Chaos theory was awesome becuaase of him and the music. And that’s also why Double Agent sucked.
