wait what? I thought this came out ages ago...
I hope this game is good. I'd really love a nice 4 player coop game.
Today is the day of the PS3
The game has become more interesting to me now. At first glance from its first screenshot, it seemed like just another shooter to me. Might rent it.
this game has been too many times for me to not be interested anymore. something has to blow me away before i invest into it. hmmm...on the fence on this one.
I hope its good too.
@pd771:
Sony owns today :D
(though I still believe they should have made these announcements at GDC)
i wish it would just come out already
Nothing pleases gamers like vague, flexible release dates.
@LittleBigPlaneteer: Yeah, Sony news is coming out of the woodwork
This game simply doesn't have the hype behind it to be successful. It doesn't look that "bad" to me, but it doesn't really blow me away or anything. I don't think it'll get high reviews or anything and simply won't sell.
Nice trailer but the song is god awful.
April: GTA IV
May: Haze
June: MGS4
It's going to be a fine year. :)
MGS4 release date, MGS4 pack, ds3 release date and haze release date!!
what more do i want...?
ffxiii release 2moro plox :D
Today?This is the YEAR of the PS3.The first of many I think.
I dearly hope that's just a generic tv ad voiceover, not the actual protagonist.
Free Radical are yet to make a bad game so this should be good.
Hrm, I am iffy on this game still. But I would be lying if that trailer didn't help fill in some plots holes I was curious about.
there's something wrong with the framerate i think... i hope the solve that in the retail version because i loved their previous games.
They shouldn't worry ... most people never get their stuff done in time, yet alone try to be at work on time.
I have a feeling this game is going to disappoint.
I've been looking forward to this game for a while. I think it's ubisoft's chance to prove to me that i shouldn't hate them for making crappy ports on the PS3
i said somthing about this in the PSN being updated thread earlier
@symphony-Yeah,it sure doesn't look as smooth as their previous games(timesplitters),which ran at a silky-smooth 60fps.
@LittleBigPlaneteer: But GDC is a "developer" conference, not a game announcing platform. They maybe missed that point last year with LBP and Home.
href="#c4412714">Grind_Axis: what about the killzone it looks amazing they say its going to play great but is it really? Ps3 is having a tough time in its life. All of its pretty new girl friends are off in the future and they are playing hard to get.
@John-irl: Home fits with GDC, as it's a feature Sony needs developers to get behind. LBP, I dunno, sorta fits, as it's great to give an indie dev screentime like that.
@John-irl:
I know that, but tell that to Microsoft who used it to announce Gears of War 2 among other things.
@coktoe: everyone has goos stuff. wii-ssbb and mario kart. 360 Gears of War 2,Fable 2,Ninja Gaiden 2
I don't have any interest in this game. Too many (and better) FPS games out. I think Resistance 2 will be the only FPS I buy this year.
Looks, okay. MGS 4 is going to rock though.
I'm not sure, but perhaps either this or Killzone is what finally gets me to play a FPS
A delayed game can eventually be good, but a bad game is always bad.
Here's to hoping the Miyamoto philosophy rings true with Haze.
MGS4!!!!!...oh this is a Haze post?....
MGS4!!!!!!!!June 12th!!!!!!!!
@Krondonian:
I'm hoping that Lair will be good one day. People who tried the new control scheme said it make sa huge difference in gameplay. It still won't sell well, but if the major problems are fixed, I'd pick it up.
@LittleBigPlaneteer: Well, Sony waited to annouce it, and here we are, after GDC.
So much info gets lost at big press events like that.
And we're talking about games getting announced/dated now, and they have time to shine, there's not 500 other MEGATONS coming out today. Sony's pimping the press, MGS4 is getting waaay more press this week than Gears 2 imo.
*yawn* Timeshift's out again? Oh, this is something else? Huh... well I guess all generic fps's look the same to me.
Free Radical is awesome, I loved Time Splitters for PS2. I have very high expectations for this game, let's hope it delivers.
Isn't this the same game that was indefinitely postponed on the Xbox 360 so it wouldn't compete with Halo 3?
I want this game to come out!!! I go to the store to try and buy a ps3 game but there is nothing to get. Always end up buying a 360 game.. I need some co-op.. I wish it was Time Spitters but hey Haze seems cool.
@iamspoo: no, that was spongebob's squarepants game
@Covert_Knight: Sad about Timeshift because technically it seemed pretty impressive and had, to me, a huge fun potential if you 'played with it' instead of just following default solutions, but the story and style just seemed so bloody made for sci fi channel generic. I would love to see the kind of storytelling and design that Bioshock or Thief games have used for something like Timeshift.
Haze is a definite wait until reviews are, in for me. Nothing they've shown looks that interesting, but co-op is almost always fun.
I have had this game pre-ordered since November 2007. I was so excited back then that this game was around the corner, now it seems that the game was around at another town.
Hope the 6 month delay was for the best.
Any game that gets delayed for six months a week or two before it was supposed to be released is more than likely to have some serious issues. I was looking forward to this game - the whole drug angle appealed to me - but I don't know now. Wait and see.
Am I the only one that thought TimeSplitters was weak?
Or maybe it just took Korn six months to write their silly little song.
@0Jigsaw: True. PS3 just has more.
@GregoriusH: So MGS4 is going to suck balls? It was supposed to come out quite a while ago
@LittleBigPlaneteer: Free Radical games tend to review pretty well. No telling what caused the delays, but unless its the worst thing they have ever made, it should be pretty damn good.
I wondered why Sony was silent during GDC- guess I know now.
I have been waiting for Haze because the online co-op. The problem is the
release date
keeps moving and
shifting around.
They have to stick with it now because the internet now says so!
@Kyle81:
Yeah but it wasn't delayed at the 11th hour like Haze was. Haze was due in November, marketing materials released in early November proclaimed a November release, and then on November 20, "Sorry guys, 2008." And then later, "Sorry, Guys, April or maybe not."
It's just a little fishy.
I didn't get to play it at the games show we had in Melbourne (can't remember what it was called), but I watched some other people playing it and thought it looked pretty.
I'll pick it up if for no other reason than having another co-op shooter on my PS3.
PC version nao plz.
@GregoriusH:
The game has hit gold status since last year...the reason for the delays was Ubisoft waiting for the new Fiscal year to start.
haha. 'generic fps'... did someone say halo?
@Capt-Fury-:
Really?
I still prefer my grand conspiracy theory.
Look through the looking glass here people.
@Capt-Fury-: Yeah, that's Ubi.
They did this on one of the Rainbow Six games for Xbox. One more reason I fucking hate them. Their devs are great, but their QA and everything else about the company sucks ass.
Still meh for me. The designs, ugh...
@OGHowie: I was only a fan of the multiplayer, that was fun, it evoked something I hadn't felt with 4 people at a console since Goldeneye... otherwise it wasn't really that impressive.
Oh and that was TimeSplitters 2, for the record.
haha new song by korn aswell :P swell sony...swell
This game is on my not sure list... Althought i must say the preview above looks fantastic. As for the comments related to the voice over? Im pretty sure like 100% that wont be in the game. Sometimes im surprised that people who always watch game videos still haven't figured out that the same voice doing the intro is never in the damn game.
im still abit cautious about this, considering the many times they have delayed. Whast with today? PS3 Day or something?
Well, I don't know about you guys, but gaming for me is a religion, and Haze is the shit!!!
Nice, May it is. I hope this doesn't conflict with my GTAIV and MGS4 playing :O
Hope this makes up for no Goldeneye. If anybody I know ever buys a PS3, that is.
