Rumour: PS3 exclusive Eight Days gameplay footage leaked

A video has emerged on YouTube of what appears to be gameplay footage of SCE London’s canned PS3 exclusive Eight Days. The video states that the footage is “pre-production work-in-progress” and starts off in a level in the desert, showing off the game’s cover system at work. It also features gun fights and ends off with a chopper mowing down buiildings. The video isn’t very clear but certainly seems legit. If Sony has something to announce during their GamesCom presser, we’ll be there to cover it live. Watch it after the break.

Hard to say this getting leaked is a rumour when the footage is right there for all to see…

Game looked garbage then, looks garbage now.

Just let this stupid game die.

@Gek: I’ve absolutely no clue if this is legit or not, and hence used “rumour”

Oh, it’s legit all right. And also super old.

I’ve seen this footage before, suspect it’s old stuff from when the game was in development.

A cinematic TPS like this seems redundant now, given that Uncharted does it all so well.

@4 Indeed.

It’s possible this specific video is freshly leaked, but it appears to be from the same build as the footage that come out back in ’09. The game itself was canned years ago.

^ That’ll be due to the fact the game was… “canned years ago”. You cant really release ‘new’ footage of something that doesnt exist any more…

Wasn’t this first announced before the PS3 even came out? I know Heavy Rain was.

^ It was first shown as a tech demo, before the PS3 was released, but still after it was announced.

I like how he shoots his feet first at 0:34 before pointing his uzi toward the enemy.

@7 agree completely.

You got to give it up for vg247 dont ya, they either catch on to news way way late or not at all half the time.

Love you guys though.

Heres a little food for thought; sometimes journalists re-introduce things in order to stir up ‘speculation’ for certain things..usually when they have been tipped off about something..maybe?

to me it’s just another shooter with no new gameplay features:/
just another 3rd person shooter with good fluid animation and deeper detailed physics….nothing more:/

^ Yep. Hence the article saying “SCE London’s canned PS3 exclusive”
