The animation reel of a former Sony employee has revealed footage of cancelled, unannounced PlayStation 3 exclusives.
A former member of staff at Sony Cambridge Studio published a video showcasing his talents, and in it is footage of The Getaway 3 (lifted from its E3 trailer - thanks, bawsedog!), a cancelled science fiction action game from 2011, and a cancelled lifestyle project from 2007.
