Haze Gets A Hazy Release Date

MySoul7 — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:29:42 MST

underground hype like a mother fucker.

This game is going to sell.

I already KNOW it's going to sell out on launch
and the multiplayer will be a KILLER for the PS3...

@withaneight:
they said it earlier that Haze will also available on 360 and pc later on. This is a time exclusive title for PS3.

btw, I played the demo during the Melbourne game expo last year. the control felt a little loose and aiming was quite difficult. I'm looking forward for this game and I hope they've fixed everything. 6 month is a lot of time

Does anyone notice that the guy at the end said "On PlayStation 3" and not "Only on PlayStation 3." Does that mean that perhaps the 360 will be seeing this game in the future?

Thats really the only thing that jumped out at me. Everything else we've seen before. I'm glad it has a release month though, it's about time.

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.

@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.

@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.

The game has hit gold status since last year...the reason for the delays was Ubisoft waiting for the new Fiscal year to start.

Doshu — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:09:05 MST

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.

GregoriusH — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:02:25 MST

@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.

crashlanding — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:54:52 MST

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!

Lackshmana — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:50:28 MST

@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.

GregoriusH — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:38:45 MST

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.

Tingle — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:36:39 MST

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.

Ehardergardens — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:35:27 MST

@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 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.

Isn't this the same game that was indefinitely postponed on the Xbox 360 so it wouldn't compete with Halo 3?

@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.

@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.

@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.

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.

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.
