SCEE Are Dedicated to Their First Parties

“I think it is fair to say that we do not comment on rumour and speculation, especially about games that have never been announced,” said SCEE corporate PR manager Nick Caplin.

“Regarding 8 Days and The Getaway, we review the progress and viability of games on a regular basis taking into account feedback from within WWS [worldwide studios] and all the RHQs [regional headquarters], and at our latest review, felt that the budget and resources required to complete these games could be more beneficial elsewhere.”

He did, however, say that there is no trouble on the European side of this. “We are still dedicated to our first-party studios and are very excited about the fantastic exclusive titles coming this year, such as LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, as well as some very exciting titles coming in the near future.”

“Please note that LBP, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and Killzone 2 are all from European studios,” said Caplin.
