Rumour: Haze PS3 Exclusive

Jeuxvideo reports that at the Ubisoft conference, Haze, the FPS developed in the studios of Free Radical, will be exclusive to the Playstation 3.

For the moment though, it appears that this is most likely going to be a timed exclusive. But it will be necessary to wait tomorrow more on this subject.

Concerning the play in itself, the developers showed a new trailer and explained the scenario: Mantel is a group which controls the world, the oil industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Mantel also produces a very powerful drug.

The game is due out this year.

Updates:

If you follow the link you will also find a bad quality video of the first gameplay footage.

1.2 - No need to flame...

An exclusive only matters if it can influence a person's decision to buy a console AND there are no substitutes/alternatives with the competition.

Haze is just a shooter. They're a dime a dozen. You'll find great substitutes on the XBOX 360 and Ps3.

Now here's a real exclusive worth waring about....LITTLE BIG PLANET.

Now this will win the hearts of millions and bring alot of converts to the Ps3.

Who cares whether Haze is exclusive or not?

***

As for timed exclusives....they are going to become as normal as multiplatforming. Developers are in a win win situation getting extra cash for the exclusivity on one console then further cash with sales on the opposition's machine.

They aren't going to miss out on sales to fanboys who will never buy "THE OTHER" console. Simple business practise here.

I changed the source as I'd knew you'd get a bit angry. But anyway here is the original translation

The title is "Haze en exclusivité sur Playstation 3" - which means Haze is exclusive for the PS3.

"Ubisoft a confirmé que Haze, le FPS développé dans les studios de Free Radical, sortira en exclusivité sur Playstation 3." then it goes onto say that Ubisoft confirmed that Haze....is an exclusive for the PS3.

"Pour le moment, on nous indique qu'il devrait s'agir d'une exclusivité temporaire." - for the moment, it is most likely a temporary exclusive (loose translation).

Anyway...I wouldn't say this is confirmed, even though the translation is correct. I have a feeling that they just have a PS3 playable build (which is true), but noones sure if it's an exclusive or not.

4.6 - Typical Douchey Fanboy response that I'd expect from you.

Have you seen those screenshots? This game rivals the visuals for Crysis and frankly made Halo3 look cartoony and very last Gen.

Halo isn't the end all and be all you know. With all due respect to the game because it is great, the reason it was so successful is because Xbox owners had nothing else to play until Splinter Cell came out. It was a long time between drink. Thank God I had other consoles as well to keep me busy.

PS, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Timesplitters are probably the best multiplayer shooters of all time as far as options and customisation go. Halo doesn't even do Bots. You might just like this game if it comes to Xbox or if you ever become a real gamer and buy more than one console.

4.8 - Bathyj...

Hey just because it irritates you that some people point out Halo all the time or YOU feel its over-hyped, still doesn't make your opinion a reality for many, many original xbox owners who enjoyed alot of great games besides Halo "before" SC came along. Also your theory seems flawed because if:

"the reason it was so successful is because Xbox owners had nothing else to play until Splinter Cell came out."

-Then why does it continue to be very popular among the many, many 360 owners when clearly there are SO many choices? -with Halo2 setting record sales and until recently being the top played multiplayer game other than Gears on Live, even though its a "last gen" game -amazing and now Halo3 Beta being played record amounts every 24hrs. -Damm, its not like we don't know or have never played other similiar games (which BTW we agree there are other great FPS's too) so maybe its partially because of the hype, but maybe, just maybe its MOSTLY because the majority of xbox owners think the game is alot of fun and addicting....why else would they keep coming back with so many "choices" available? Now the point is I don't go around "off topic" yelling "Halo this" or "Halo that", and in this case there would have been a better way to reply to FirstKnights silly comments IMO.

PS...I played them all Golden Eye is really very, very good....still overall Halo's (story much better) multiplayer is a bit better IMO, but of course I'm biased since I love Halo. Oh, this is about "Haze" isn't it.....well I think its a great looking game, don't know if it will be exclusive but either way I doubt it would be for very long. -We'll see.

4.9 - Ahhh Feral, My old sparring partner. We meet again. ;)

Dude, I did say with all due respect, because the game is great. I should have worded the next part better. I shouldn't have said "the reason it was so successful", I should have said, ONE of the reasons owing to its success, because I do believe the lack of good games in Xboxes early days was a contributing factor. In all fairness to me, I didn't say it was the only reason. After all the game is great. I went and bought an xbox as soon as I saw it.

I just dont see why we need clowns like knight acting all blase about a great looking game coming out, because he can't see past his precious Halo which isn't, as I pointed out, the end all and be all.

Thats all my point was. I'm not attacking Halo. Its not my absolute favourite shooter but its still one of the best. I can remember when people used to call every FPS a "Doom clone" and it used to sh*t me as if you weren't allowed to make another game in the same genre.

And just for the record, hype does play a big part. How else could a game sell 4 million copies before anyone has even played it?

Halo wannabee, err na.

I played the first halo, and unlike many ppl, I didnt think it was that great.

Was decent enough fps wise, but enemies were crap, and actually looked pretty stupid.

And sorry to bust your bubble, but Half life was by far a better game, like x3 better then halo.

On the subject at hand.

Looks pretty decent. Glad to see some games are being directly written for ps3, No more ports please.

This was discussed on the latest 1UP yours podcast.

Shane (big Sony fanboy) said that there would be a surprise announcement concerning Haze very soon (might have said E3 haha).

Someone then asked if it wasn't going to be multiplatform and Shane responded by saying that isn't correct.

These guys are usually pretty reliable so chances are it will be multi but maybe a timed exclusive.

To be honest, Ubisoft are being pretty intelligent.

They are taking everyone's money! Money from Microsoft for Splinter Cell which is a guaranteed big seller whilst also breaking a new IP with Sony's money (if this turns out to be true, Beowulf?). Then release GRAW etc multiplatform and make huge profits on cheap incremental improvements in existing franchises.

I wouldn't be surprised if EA don't start a similar business model.

I'll tell you why this is perfect business. This is releasing around the same time as Halo. Best to put the title on a platform which doesn't have the competition...otherwise Haze may fall short on the 360 when released so early...give it some space.

Ps. Beowulf is multi

Mart I tell ya man, I can always count on you for a good laugh. Well time for my piece.
I finally checked this out and well....It looks pretty darn good!!!
Now I am also not foolish enough to beleive too much that comes out of the Ubisoft camp. I mean I fell for it with Assasins Creed and then they go all mutiny and give the 360 the exclusive rights to the next Splinter Cell. So quite frankly yeah, It looks like a great game (although that tint on the game reminds me of...shall I dare? ...MGS4), but I think eventually and unfortunately it will find it's way on the other console.
Any other developer and I would beleive it but since it's Ubisoft.....I'm not fallin' for it again.

Seemed to imply that Haze was exclusive. Also, the official Haze website ONLY has the PS3 logo on it. Too bad too because I actually like the stuff that Free-Radical has done in the past.

And truth be told, the 360 does have a lot of shooters. Oh, and is anyone going to buy this around the same time that Halo 3 comes out???
