Haze PS3

Re: Haze delayed until March

Face it, it's an Ubisoft game. Ubisoft has consistently been one of my favorite publishers for obvious reasons (Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, GRAW, Blazing Angels, etc). I'll give any Ubisoft game that's not a kiddy title a shot at least.

Plus, I think that some of the TimeSplitters team is on this project if I can remember.

April at the earliest now.

Haze Delayed

January 23, 2008 - In its fiscal Q3 07/08 earnings statement, Ubisoft announced that Haze has slipped into its 08/09 fiscal year. Ubisoft's fiscal year ends on March 31st, pushing Haze to the beginning of April at the earliest.

Haze Targeted

Although Haze -- a first-person shooter from Ubisoft and Free Radical Design -- is set in 2048, you won't have to wait that long to get your hands on it.

Haze is coming this May exclusively to the PlayStation 3.

In an early morning announcement, Ubisoft said today that the much-anticipated title will arrive in just four months with a Mature rating. Haze casts you as a brand new soldier in a private military corp. -- in this bleak future, the government outsources fighting wars -- and sets you and your plethora of cutting edge weapons up against the rebels known as the Promise Hand.

Jesus, this is still coming out???

Haha, seriously though, good news, FINALLY. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was on the verge of giving up hope. Good news

Re: Haze delayed until March

Yeah, Gamestop has a 05/21 release date now.

Wasn't this game originally slated for August?

Re: Haze delayed until March

any chance with all these delays this game is having, that it will be multiplatform again?

UBI is doing the same thing they did with AssCreed. They will not confirm exclusitivity, only that it's being developed on the PS3 only right now.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6177964.html

Today, Ubisoft amended its statement, saying that currently only the PS3 version of Free Radical's shooter is in development. The France-based publisher also noted that it was still leaving the door open in the future for "new partnerships," but currently the game is indeed only planned for the PS3. A spokesperson said, "The official statement on PC and Xbox 360 is that these platforms are not confirmed."

Dille also used Haze as an example of Sony's timed exclusives in 08, so I'd be surprised if we don't this on the 360 about 6 months after the PS3 version. Either way it looks like crap currently...needs polish, badly.

New Previews and videos

GameSpy: Hands-On

Haze finally settled into the GameSpy/IGN offices, giving us an exclusive first look at the game's single-player and co-op gameplay. Haze switches you from the perspective of an elite sci-fi trooper to an earthy rebel, and we got to spend some times on both sides of their war for this preview. In addition, we played through a few missions of Haze's campaign using the four-player co-op feature. There's no doubt that Free Radical, the creators of the underrated Second Sight and consistently excellent TimeSplitters games have a solid shooter in Haze, but our play time did leave us with some concerns.

Re: Haze delayed until March

Geez Gamespot didn't have much to say about their hands on.

Haze's graphics still look a bit rough, especially the particle effects spraying out under vehicles. The game's environments appear detailed, although some of the indoor environments are a bit on the bland side. Haze's artificial intelligence was generally pretty good and enemies didn't waste time firing lead at you, although teammates occasionally did weird things and didn't always follow our lead. On occasion the physics were also a problem, and caused vehicles to become stuck in precarious situations which were hard to get out of. We also found that the game's collision detection didn't always work, with AI-controlled soldiers standing inside solid objects at times.

Don't know what to really think of this game after those videos. Just doesn't seem too appealing at this point.

Agreed, just another FPS. Pass.
