]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @HurricaneDave:

With games like UT3 supporting keyboard and mouse who needs a redesign? I wish all PS3 FPS games supported keyboard/mouse though. It's definitely the way to go.

flashtut

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @foodnaptime:
Yes, that highly rated game...*cough*

This game looks alright but compared to the character models the environments look rather crap.

Eon.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I can't wait for this actually. As soon as it's out I'm getting it....it looks awesome.

xarchsagex

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> There will never be a good FPS on a Sony console until they redesign their controller.

HurricaneDave

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> It looks really like a really boring generic shooter. Why do I need the enemies to glow? Just makes the gameplay worse because it will be so easy.

Also, that lighting engine is really bad, the dynamic tone mapping is way off as though you are constantly blinded by the whole sky.

beddo

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> zoesch:

I agree. It's too early to say if the game is crap or good. I'd love for it to be a good game.

From what I've seen, though, I'm not looking forward to seeing more. I'll watch more videos, but I won't be reading through lengthly hands-on impressions unless it build up some real buzz.

I'm just not impressed with the little I've seen so far. That doesn't mean it can't impress me as a final product.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Shane (the protagonist) sounded like a grizzled Southerner in the trailers, but here he sounds like an overly anxious pizza delivery boy...

pico77

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @GorbyGipper: You know, they have been just showing gameplay from the first couple of levels and few snippets of the later levels, but nothing more, considering the stuff they mentioned was going to be in-game I'd say it's way too early to say if it's a crappy game or a good one.

zoesch

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Theoban: Except that Farcry already has drugs.

Technically it's adrenaline, but my point still stands.

Antihippy

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I'm yet to be impressed but I'm hopin for the best since it's from the makers of ultra-customizable Time Splitters (and more notably, Goldeneye). I carry many fond memories of 4 player split-screen Bag Tag and Capture the Bag, back in the PS2's infant days. I can hear the theme music now. Baw... baw-daw...

B-Minus

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I'm still on the fence with this one. It just looks too generic.

DigitalHero

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I'll buy it for sure.

coktoe

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I see a mix between Halo and Far Cry. Not something I'll be anticipating.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I'm surprised at all the positive feedback. This game looks like crap to me. But what do I know. I just invented videogames, tch. *Walks off.

mcmurder

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Wheres that Free Radical sense of fun that all the Timesplitters had?! very medicore clip but I have faith in you Free Radical...I HAVE FAITH!
I'm not gonna crap on its generic looks though...not yet

excel_excel

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Being a FPS, it won't generate much hype on a system that isn't primarily a FPS market

reptile168

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> That looks really, really boring.

WangBacca

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks overwhelmingly mediocre. If I bought games like this my life would be one sad lonely place as it seems like a mediocre shooter comes out every week or so.

BornToFlail

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> why are people crying about fpses now. srsly its like no ones ever played a pc before. halo was a mediocre game and always was - it just got heaps of praise because a bunch of casual console gamers found fps for the first time. this game actually looks good, and if the makers of timesplitters involved it sounds even more promising. anyone know anything about keyboard + mouse support?

BlindedFTW

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> From the footage it reminds me off, Crysis/Halo. I doubt im the only person to mention this. Looks very cool never the less!

Flawless101

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Generic Power Suits are GO!

A note to all game developers: Unless your game has "Metroid" or "Halo" in the title, please don't dress your protagonists in futuristic power armor. It's bad enough that the Spartans in Halo look like glorified Doom marines. We don't need more power suits, especially the ones with FPS HUDs in the visor.

And if you feel the need to disregard that request, at least learn how aesthetics work before designing a power suit. Timeshift's bizarre three-pointed visor was obnoxious enough, but Haze's power suits are so bland that I have to wonder if the game's character designers even tried.

Lezard

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Even though it's not evident immediately, the game's new mechanic isn't overuse of motion blue. They promised that strange side-effects would happen when you took Necter (or what ever it's called) like becoming confused between team mates and enemies or everything looking beautiful instead of dingy but I didn't see things like that in this video so it was kind of a let-down. Hope they show more soon. Also, the game looks good.

okenny :)

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I think this game will stand on its multiplayer co-op gameplay and story. Judging by the Timesplitters i've played i'll say Free radical have a very good understanding of what makes shooting virtual guns fun. Also, they have never had a cohesive vision.

I think perhaps the "blandness" of Haze is Free radical trying to calm themselves down and agree on a vision, and you know what happens when people agree. Things get boring.

Sunjammer

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Derigor: "but seriously is it possible to make a non generic shooter these days?"

Yes, it is! See ELEBITS for the Wii. It's the most unique and inventive take on the FPS in many, many years.

stop2

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks pretty lame. (I have a PS3)

argh

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Apparently, anything with guns is generic.

Instead, we should all play one of the gazillion games where we spend most of our time going on collection quests and androgenous protagonists use magic attacks on monsters who idly sit in the middle of nowhere as if they were waiting for you to come along their whole life.

Or we could play hack and slash games with unrewarding combat and no combo system, which are always about demons.

Or we could play 2D fighting games because we can't comprehend 'sidestepping'.

Or we could play Crapcom games.

That's what you all want the rest of us to do, right?

Bergerac

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Fadakar:

That's a bit harsh, no? I'm not impressed either, but the game could well do some things that are well worth checking out, or maybe even end up a good game.

You've got a Halo avatar....that game didn't look so promising leading up to its release.

GorbyGipper

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> This game looks awful, I was upset when I heard this wasn't going for 360 anytime soon. I'm actually glad it isn't now.

Fadakar

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @zoesch:

True, Halo isn't the most original game out there. It does combine amazingly tight controls, great graphics, amazing sound design, outstanding enemy AI, a TON of modes and options and a whole lot more though.

I didn't really see anything there that made me feel much and I'm not a fan of anything FR has released.

I mean, MAYBE they've nailed some of those aspects listed above, and if they do, that's great. The more really good games out there the better off all gamers are. There's just nothing I've seen yet that's made me care much about the game (and it seems I'm not alone).

IF there were already a Haze game that was amazing and this were the first video of Haze 2, I'd look at it from a different perspective. As it stands though, I've not seen anything that makes me care all that much.

Maybe it'll review well and I'll check it out. At this point, it would seem that reviewers (or friends) would have to sell me on the game as FR hasn't been able to do so just yet.

Just like most games, I'd love for it to turn out great or at least do something that pushes one aspect of the experience forward.

GorbyGipper

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The yawn of the day.

Nex Antonius

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I checked out some more videos, and it doesn't look REALLY bland ... but I'm still on the fence.

dead_red_eyes

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> it's not that bad.. i'll let the kotaku review decide for me if this is a must-buy

jBat17

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> What happened to a all the crazy marketing for this? They had some epic ads.

ggodo

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Jomi294:

No it simply sucks for FPS, the thumb sticks are improperly placed for best control. And you highlight the fact that you either are the worst person to ever play with a mouse or you don't actually play many FPS games because a controller 360 or PS3 WILL NEVER EVER BE CLOSE TO A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD.

Lucidity

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Yikes, this looks really bland. The gameplay looks generic, and the outfits ... WTF? They look like giant human/bumble-bee mutants running through the forest. And what's with the voice acting? Terrible.

I hate to say the whole "Halo clone" thing ... but it's what it looks like to me. Let it be known, I'm not into the Halo thing either.

dead_red_eyes

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I love how everybody here is screaming Generic yet they are the same people who don't seem to have a problem with Halo 3 or Battlefield... people will never cease to amaze me.

Anyway, I'll wait for reviews, some of the best games I've ever played have been derided as generic by the oh so knowing gaming public before.

zoesch

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> This does look just intensely annoying. Glowy enemies + annoying sound as they die + really, it's just Far Cry with drugs = not happy me.

But then again, it's not aimed at me so whatever, enjoy people.

Theoban

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Meh, too generic. Nothing seems to set this apart.

Snuffbox

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> So is this officially exclusive, or timed exclusive?

It looks cool (and pretty), but I'll probably skip it for the same reason I didn't buy Disgaea 2 when I saw it at the store today for 20 bucks: I'm all Disgaea'd out, and I'm getting sick of FPS games, so I'm saving myself for Disgaea 3 and Resistance 2, so I don't hate them when they come out.

Strange Bedfellows

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The game honestly looks amazing. I'm still a little weary, because I was one of the "brilliant" people that went from CoD4 to Turok. The effects add an amazing touch to this game, actually giving you the feel that you have the clear edge over the enemy forces. In my opinion, visually... I'm sold. If I could get my hands on a demo I would be sold. It's all about gameplay.

Psymantis

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Lucidity:
I'm very good with the Sixaxis controller. In fact, I'm almost as good with it as I am with keyboard and mouse on UT3. To say it's horrible for FPS is a lie. 'You suck' and 'Bad design' is certainly not the same thing.

Jomi294

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The hissing sound when you kill someone is a small injection of nectar. I guess it's kind of like your reward for the kill. Make you crave the kill. Kind of fucked up.

GregoriusH

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks pretty average, honestly. I've never been a big fan of Free Radical, though. I loved Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, but I've never cared for any of the Timesplitters games. It's not suprising that the video just seemed underwhelming to me, I suppose.

GorbyGipper

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I used to have this pre-ordered. But, now my money is going towards Mario Kart, GTA4, and Metal Gear Solid 4. If Haze has great multiplayer, I might be coerced to getting it. We shall see.

NESv1

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @TOWER_JUNKIE:

It was called STALKER. Most people ignored it.

GregoriusH

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The frame rates seem to drop noticeably a few times. I'm not sure they have this thing running smooth yet.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Eh, I hate the hissing noise whenever you kill somebody, the enemy AI looks unremarkable (and the guys get killed in like 3 shots), and I didn't even see the guy playing take damage. Doesn't bode well, in my opinion.

Strangelove

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks like another generic FPS.

Bigfoot

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> want generic, try COD4 most of you are nothing more then fucking hypocritical try playing the game before you make judgement.

invictus2006

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> another fps, with a boring gimmick. i dont understand how this game has even received the hype it has. im just not impresssed

busy

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Seemed pretty bland to me. Then again, what FPS isn't these days?
Someone seriously needs to reinvent this genre.

TOWER_JUNKIE

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Derigor: I think the last FPS I played with a proper health bar thing was F.E.A.R. I know some people didn't like it, but I thought it was great. I've not played the expansions, because Monolith didn't make them and also Project Origin (F.E.A.R 2) will completely ignore the expansions. I don't think Vivendi will be happy.

Anyway, back on track. If this game was released in November like it was supposed to be, then I would have got it. I might give this a miss. I'll be on GTA IV anyway. ;)

Lockenator

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I don't really want to run against the grain while everyone is trashing the game but clearly this is 1 minute of what looks like the first level. Maybe there's more to the game than what we've seen in this trailer?

prawnmatic

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Balance_In_Life (PSN): Come on... despite all the elements COD willingly adopted from Halo, making them similar on many counts, they are different kinds of FPS with different kinds of gameplay. It's class-based v. power-ups, quick kills v. shields, stop & pop v. run & gun (this last one being a real close call). They're hardly comparable as FPS games.

Uh, Haze... yeah, I'm still interested. Kind of. I'd be more interested if it wasn't exclusive. Doesn't seem to be helping the game's quality very much.

Xiedo

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I just can't get excited about this game. Yeah, it looks really nice. Yeah, it will surely be a great game. But what exactly is this game doing that we haven't seen before? This looks like more generic Halo-bandwagon FPS, to me. Maybe I'm just being cynical.

残心

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Gileadxv: "I have to get back to Gears of Resident Dark Sector." lol you just made my day. Im playing some Dark sector right now, and it does feel like gears and RE4 mashed together.

Qbisst

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I'm sold! Although between the release of GTA IV and MGS4, I'm going to have to go on a marathon of non-stop gaming for a month or so.

flashtut

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I cant get excited for this game either. May have something to do with not owning a Ps3, but that can't be it. Im psyched for LBP and MGS....

Onegai

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I WANT to be interested in this game...but I just can't do it. So far it looks like a generic mishmash of all the other shooters I've played. And seriously, what's with the bumble bee get up in the middle of a rain forest? From what I understand, they're fighting rebel insurgents who have home field advantage. So the military's solution is to have them stick out like giant neon targets? Granted, it's been about 7 years since I was in the Marines, so maybe the whole camouflage and "cover and concealement" concept has since been thrown out the window, but dude...c'mon...really? I know the generic future warrior thing is the new "black", but does this make sense to ANYONE?

Blah! I guess as long as it looks "cool" that's enough. But frankly, uninspired level design mixed with status quo art just doesn't cut it any more. CoD 4 and The Orange Box have spoiled me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to Gears of Resident Dark Sector.

Gileadxv

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @illmatic291: what is with your constant hate towards halo? you got your ass kicked playing it or something that you must post hate comments in every post you make?, I saw you post in other news in here and you keep at it with the bashing. you are such a whiner.

Qbisst

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Tom Clancy's Haze YAY. The world needs more crappy shooters.

RYAMATSU

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> So people are sick of FPS, but on the other hand would gladly have FR scrap this for Timesplitters?

[My mother just read the above comment over my shoulder before I could post.

MUM: 'What's FPS?'
ME: 'First Person Shooters.'
MUM: 'Why are they tired of those?'
ME: 'They feel that the market is oversaturated with them.

...

On the other hand, a lot of people just plain don't like this game 'cause its on the PS3, not that they'd concede that.'
MUM: What else are they going to do? If they're so sick of them why don't they just go and play Bingo or something?'

Ha ha. Haters got served.]

Bergerac

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> What we saw:

1. Shooting. Generic shooting.
2. The most overwhelming zoom-view ever created.
3. Nectar. Yea, it's a powerup, we get it.

What we didn't see:

1. Innovation.
2. Gameplay showcasing ANYTHING other than SHOOTING.

collusioned

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @KM91: there are a lot of raging fanboys too.

genebeef

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> pretty much a generic FPS....why'd they shoot themselves in the foot for making this a ps3 exclusive.

looks like another "factor 5" studio coming this way.

genebeef

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The whole bright yellow visor thing just screams "Shoot me in the face!" and ruins the games visual fiction IMHO.

Zootalor

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @illmatic291: There are alot of Halo Killers. Halo isn't that good of a game, comperatively anyways.

KM91

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> This game looks really bland and I looked at the gameplay "features" to see if they make any difference, but it really looks quite derivative.

The bloom also burns the retina clear off your eyes if you look at it for long, just like Halo 3.

It'll end up being on the also-ran list with games like Fuel of War. Blah.

DaPress

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @illmatic291: BWAHAHAHA

where were you when killzone came out?

you're prolly not old enough to cross the street yet, let alone dress yourself

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Devs: Please leave awkwardly shoe-horned enhancement drugs and magic out of FPS games... If I wanted to play an RPG I would gladly do so and not expect you to be forcing FPS play on me.

Nexus6

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Bluecell: I'm not your buddy friend. I'm not your friend guy. I'm not your guy buddy. Back to the subject at hand, Haze looks a bit clunky for some reason. Looks like Turok but with shiny yellow track suits.

Nexus6

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I think I just officially OD'd on FPS.

Islandkiwi

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @LittleBigPlaneteer: totally agreed. beat me to it. like a bad WWII fps.

Sorry, but with all the goodies coming in '08 I dont see a reason to get worked up about this


KEELr

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Gray665: I'm not your guy, buddy!

This Canadian found that episode very humorous. The internet stars fighting to the death was fantastic.
But I was actually referencing an old Dane Cook bit. Derigor knows the score.

"No problem.....gaylord."


Bluecell

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Atheist Jew: Agreed. This video closed the deal on my complete and utter loss of interest in this game. First the loss of exclusivity, then the delays, then the next set of delays, then some lame youtube footage, and now this lame footage of a totally generic FPS with terrible voice overs. I'm sorry, I wanted to like this game, but coming out two weeks before MGS4 makes it impossible for me to care.

pot3ntial2suck

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Not impressed at all. The visuals are subpar, the environments are generic, the gameplay looks boring, and the chatty squad mates are annoying. I really expected more from Free Radical. There's nothing that Ubi and Free Radical can do to save this game from mediocrity. They need to just get it out on store shelves and get some good sales, due to the lack of games releasing in May. If they delay it again, they're officially done. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2.

HaydenTenno

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @RockerX: Sorry bro, but COD4 destroyed Halo for game play. At least IMHO. I'm not gonna knock Halo because it is a superstar, but COD4 is just a better game.

Balance_In_Life

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Well its aiming for the front page news, that's for sure. Violence and performance drug use. Hopefully it gets around to why that sort of thing is bad, but then again the first ten minutes is the only thing any non-gaming journalist will see.

Lokno

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> this game look really normal ... nothing good nothing bad ...

ThisIsHell666

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> >HALO KILLER

HA! I don't think we were watching the same video. To put Haze in the same league as Halo is like saying the Atari 2600 is on the same playing field as current gen systems.

The only Halo killer would be Halo 4.

Far too generic, just like many others have said. FAIL.
Let's just all go play GTA4 :)

RockerX

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> yawwwwwwnnn. What a very boring video, nice bland FPS

mbeck

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> To be honest, Haze looks terrible. If it were a 360 exclusive it would be outright condemned. If I want a PS3 fps, I'll get Resistance 2.

Iceking5

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> think people need to stop using halo killer, and start using Cod4 killer!! consider cod4 just owned halo 3 in almost every way possible.

idrisz

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> This game is so meh. I can already see that this game is gonna be Turok with drugs.

ghnvt

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @illmatic291: COD4 is your answer in every way.

Barf#1

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The Drug is supposed to make everything seems nice and clean, make enemies easier to target, steady aim blah blah... side effect include becoming a gun toting psychopath. I remember reading if you use it too much then friends look like enemies.
I think it also makes dead enemies disappear or fade out. I seem to remember one interview saying that as a rebel you can play dead and basically fade away. then jump up out of no where to get the drop. I dunno the concept sounds awesome, it just depends on how well the gameplay can execute the idea.

Also: Winners dont use drugs. (or Nectar)

Derigor

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Yet another FPS for the 360? Seriously, they really need to do something about this because there are far too many coming out for i---

Say huh? This is PS3? Along with Killzone 2 and Resistance 2? Oh ..... um, go PS3, the new FPS system? :D

DARTH_TIGRIS

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I was under the impression that the drug did something, anything other than simply make the enemy glow. Guess laziness got the best of them.

Moonshadow101

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Dumari: Overhand push throw like that is actually how the military trains soldiers to throw grenades.

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> That looked great!

Wolfers

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks real nice, I think some people expect too much out of the game and are putting in too much into it.

@el_gordo: The glowing enemies is part of the ability of mantel troopers who use the nectar drug. When you play as a rebel you don't get that bonus as you don't use the drug.

@Baine: Again, thats part of using nectar drug. It does blur your vision and if you use too much you can't see shit. Point is that it blurs the world but enhances your sighting of your enemies making them easier to see when in jungles or in darkness.

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Also who the hell throws like that?

Dumari

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @stranger: Mmm, I see what you mean, yes. I'm looking forward to it mainly because of the COOP features, the awesome yellow troopers and the versus matches where I will find out whether playing Rebels requires more wit or they're just underpowered.

Candlejack

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Still never looked as bad as Blacksite or Timeshift.

Cartman86

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> crap, now i need a ps3...

faralcane

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Bluecell: or chief!

but seriously is it possible to make a non generic shooter these days? I mean. You shoot at stuff. You really cant expand upon that too much.
I'd love to see life bars/ health meters make a come back. The whole shield/hide and regen thing really noobs it up for me and inforce the "consoleshooterlol" whenever I get on the ol'360 or ps3. I remember when health was scarce and so was ammo and you had an actual challenge.

Side note: when are dev's going to realize that when I look down at the ground I see everything from my chest down. How hard is it to stick the camera in the model's eyes and pivot the neck to give me an accurate view. Fear atleast took a step in the right direction by letting me see my feet.

Derigor

Gray665

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @jun581: This game will own my life till MGS4 comes out.

Knight-Zero

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I dunno... looks too glowy and stuff. How hard is it to shoot at glowing enemies? It's like the old days of Quake 2 texture hacking.

As for the story, Bluecell was right on the money. If this is actual game dialogue, then fuck that indeed. Sounds like it was written by idiots.

el_gordo

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Candlejack:
I don't think it's the graphics, I think it's the art design. From a polish standpoint the graphics are completely fine, but there is a definite blandness to everything I've seen on Haze thusfar, and this vid isn't doing anything to change that. The problem with Haze is that I've already played this game before. Three times.

Haze really does look like Halo meets Farcry from the guys who made Timesplitters. Which is fine: that's exactly what it's supposed to be. But how isn't that going to come off as derivative and boring when the art direction is as paint-by-numbers as the concept?

stranger

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> holy shit that looked generic.

Gadgetron

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Awesome framerate.

beem

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Is it just me? Or did it look all fuzzy? Honestly, I'd prefer a clear picture. But then again I play on the 360 so this game doesn't really have any sway for me one way or another.

Baine

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Yeah, it doesn't look like anything we haven't seen before. Jungle environment, Super Soldiers, Government branch is corrupt...Yadda Yadda Yadda. Some earlier footage showing how you'll use the nectar as grenades and such, that seemed ok. But this will fall into the cracks as just another next gen FPS.

And I'll bet Dollars to donuts that the Nectar makes some kind of Super Mutant variant of human, and that it takes about thirty five bullets to the forehead to kill it. Let's hear it for mini-bosses.

Yawn.

MasterSauce

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks good, but not not amazing.

Doomstalk

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> It looks ok.

That guy going "Eh, Carpenter" has an annoying voice though.

Woodwater

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> What is this one's gimmick again? I'm pretty much done with shooters for the next 10 years, if I get the urge to play one again I'll just play CoD4 some more. And yes, Playstation needs to set itself apart with games that aren't shooters rather than trying to BE Microsoft with an inferior controller (For FPS).

illmatic291

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @Gray665: So does gametrailers

[www.gametrailers.com]

And to be honest, I watched those and thought it looked like a pretty mediocre game. The video up there is a bit more exciting, but that guy calls you "Carpenter" four times in the span of the 1:30 clip, and "buddy" twice. And when someone calls you "buddy", and you're not their buddy...fuck that.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Honestly, the game could be pretty darn good. The visuals are nice (nothing explosive), but they're sharp and the gameplay looks really fun and intense.

Let's see how the combined press reviews come out.

If it's over 80% average, I'll pick it up. It's been on my radar for awhile even though titles like MGS4 and GTA4 are the hot Spring/Summer titles to own.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> doesn't do anything for me at all.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Could someone remind me, why is this game supposed to be interesting? All I see is another generic shooter that doesn't even graphics-wise look very next-gen.
I remember being mildly interested of this one at some point, but that video looked just... well, generic. Boring guns, boring environment and boring action.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Sony should just stop allowing people to makes FPS games for the PS3. Every dev tries to make a "Halo killer" and they end up making a crappy game that is worse than Halo. Halo hasn't been great since the first one, and now everyone is trying to make something like it. Not to mention the horrible sixaxis/dualshock 3 controller... it's just not made for FPS. Until developers stop trying to make the next Halo, they should just stop in general.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Doesn't look like it does anything at all that we haven't seen a thousand times before. I'll rent it.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> @illmatic291: no, you're thinking of Killzone for the PS2. lol.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Am I the only one that noticed the AI seemed..well, dumb. I hope this doesn't represent the final build in any way. Very "meh" looking.

Shandy706

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks positively generic. I'm not interested in Haze even a little anymore.

Atheist Jew

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> It's on my radar, but it's way out there. I think this one has a chance.

Edge of Blade

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Haze to me is Ubisoft's chance to prove they aren't another EA! i'm looking forward to this game and will definately pick it up on day one.

Godluvsugly

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I guess I'm confused as to what 'mechanics' this game has to offer.

All I've seen is some incredibly generic 'super powers' just disguised as 'drug effects'.

Calling bullet time a hundred different names never kept it form getting real old real fast.

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I was really excited about this game at first. Now though due to delays and what not, I'll wait till it's get a few reviews. If it's gets some high reviews I'll pick it up. If I can give Turning Point credit for anything it will be the fact that I'm waiting on anything thats FPS other then RFOM 2.

Balance_In_Life

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> This is still on my radar, even with all of the talk of late. It looks like a solid game, and 4-player online coop still sounds nice if they've done it right.

Torgo

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Looks pretty cool. This is at least a rental for me.

TheCleaningGuy is no longer (that) disappointed with DMC4

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Heroine err I mean Necter will give you bloom like no other!
I'm interested only if their co-op is good. Multi player should prove to be cool if the whole necter/no necter thing plays out.

Derigor

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> The bloom... sweet jeebus, the BLOOM!

ShaggE

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I love the shaky & blurry effects when in combat. Looks very exciting to play. The weapons give nice feedback too and I imagine the DualShock3 will own on this title.

I will buy it but it's just taking too long for the masses out there I guess.

Candlejack

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> Gameplay looks pretty good, the voice overs sound terrible.

LittleBigPlaneteer

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I most certainly will pick this up... Free Radical are amongst my favourite developers, and any first person shooter from the creators of time splitters is a good thing (and thankfully they're not with EA this time... the EA challenge everything crap in TS3 bothered me)

exion

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I recently cancelled my pre-order at EBGames and picked up dark sector instead. I mainly pre-ordered it because of the "try haze for a week" promotion, but since the rumours it has been cancelled, i figured there is no point in keeping it. The EB clerk said it has not been confirmed to be canned nor confirmed not to be canned, but I'd rather have something to play.

wicko

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> I havn't been that psyched for this but I won't lie; that vid looked pretty good.

Slint

]]> <![CDATA[More Haze Gameplay]]> i'm still on the fence. i might give this game a shot, but it has about 2.5 weeks to get to me before MGS4 takes over...my life!

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!
