A CV posted by an ex-Sony Cambridge employee reveals that Heavenly Sword was to get a sequel but it was cancelled.
Also listed are two PlayStation 3 concepts that were also given the chop alongisde The Getaway 3, which judging by the short animation clip seems to be set in Amsterdam.
One of the cancelled games looks rather like Starhawk which could explain why it was binned.

I really wish they didnt cancel the getaway 3

Same. Was a superb game, with the London criminals, setting etc and I liked the lack of HUD too. I probably prefered it to GTA.

Yeah I agree, loved that game.

Maybe they canned it because getting away on a bike or a houeboat just wasn’t as much fun as getting away in a car. It does look like Amsterdam after all.

Its still officially in development..

I bet London studio are glad they’re on the casual projects like Eyepet instead of this, eh? EH?!

Always interesting to see canned games. The Getaway was officially revealed with that Amesterdam trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5PK8LyN5ZA

(There was an original concept trailer in London, which was then followed by a shift to Amsterdam)

‘Shift’ eh? So they were ripping ideas off of Driver? :P

Damn – the headline made me think this was a leak for Getaway 3 .. :(

I would love ‘The Getaway 3’ :P And if they could make London a bit bigger then i could drive past my house LoL:D

They should really make a Heavenly Sword sequel. The first was one of the stand out launch titles for the PS3.

Guy knows his stuff, though – nice CV, that!

i still can’t help but wonder how the Getaway would have turned out.
those Sackboy animations were great.

I would have preferred heavenly sword 2, number one was a hidden gem.
Gateway was rubbish
