Haze demo - videogaming247.com impressions
58
VG247 downloaded the Haze demo yesterday. At last, we could actually play the game free from all the exclusivity shenanigans; free from the talk of the how's and why's of the delay; free from all the politics - it was just us and the game. Finally. Is it any good?
See after the link.

Sounds like they forgot about the instant splitscreen by your friend with a second controller pressing start. I had a lot of fun with this me a my friend both grabbed a controller he hit start and he took over one of my AI team mates. We both OD and went on a killing spree. Lol it was good fun.

Couldn't get into it. Downloaded the Demo off the euro store, played it and then deleted it. Not sure what it was, it just couldn't grab my attention for long. controls are there and gameplay wise its fundamentally sound, but I just couldn't get into it.

I think a big part of this game will be the story, the immersion from having no loading and the 2 different play styles.
I just dont think these things come across in a short demo.

that could very well be it. But for a demo especially considering the path that this game has taken from going from a Multi-plat to an exclusive title, there needs to be that WOW!. I mean the Heavenly Sword, Drake, Ratchet and clank Demo all had that WOW! factor and left me wanting more and except for Heavenly Sword I purchased the other two titles. Ubisoft needed to release a Demo that left me wanting more instead of "Meh, I'll see". cause thats all the demo did for me. I could very well be eating my words come later this month but for right now, its not there for me.

"...lush graphics..."
Man, people may like the game, thats OK by me, but lush graphics is something that it certainly doesn't have. Also, the combat AI is decent, but when a game lets you kill your entire team without anyone caring I can't praise the AI no more.

thats kinda the point dude, letting you shoot all mantel troopers, or them killing you as a teammate to save their skins just shows how heartless mantel is with their troops. Its not a dumb AI design, its a smart gameplay/storyline fusion. Also the graphics are good, its not COD4, Uncharted or Gears, but it can stand up to Halo. The nectar some say is overdone or stupid, but thats what the entire thing is based off of, the dependency of Mantel on Nectar. My dumbass friend told me it wasnt that good. He said the storyline and singleplayer seemed better than halo which is what this game compares to, and the Multiplayer looks like it will be its strong point, but it wasnt a WOW for him because guess what, it wasnt COD4.
All this game needs is a multiplayer demo, that will straighten things out, I mean if your opinion on Halo would have to be only based on Single Player because thats all you had to test out (lets say the Halo combat Evolved demo for PC) would you really think the same about it? Seeing as how they both have their main potential in MP.
Also, its kinda retarded they grabbed a build that is months old to show, considering the HUD is different now and graphical changes have been minorly (i know thats not a word) made.

Man, I'm talking about the reaction of your team mates (or lack of it, actually). They simply don't mind if you shoot them. Its not about the Mantel Organization's reaction to you killing your team. I shoot my team mates in the face and the other mates don't care. I can decimate my own team and they just stare waiting for their turn to hit the floor. Thats retarded AI, not smart gameplay.

you're allowed to shoot your teammates and steal their nectar without them reacting and you continued to shoot every single one of them? you're as dumber because you let yourself out of teammates! what's the point having a team if what you'll be doing is killing them instead of enemies??

@badz...I so totally agree. If someone measures the game on how dumb onr can be, well, then it has already lost. Why the h!ll would you want to kill your team mates ?
Also, especially in the multiplayer co-op mode, what you do, when your buddy overdoses is, to get away as far as you can, believe me. There is no way to help him anyway. And you don't want to stand close when he pulls that trigger from his grenade. ... wondering ...

What makes this game stand out most is the co-op and how easy it is to jump in and out at any point both online and offline, also the story and the change in gameplay half way through.
Still i suspect the multi-player will be great, playing dead agaisnt mates and then jumping out and stabing them with a nector cover knife will be great

"It felt a lot like TimeSplitters"
hell thats definitely good enough for me
Haze is looking solid and i really hope FRD iron out the niggles before launch (granted there's only a few weeks left, but lets hope this is a very early build)

I don't know if iron sights are in as the pistol is scoped also but I really like the demo. It also has a feel to it now that says MP will be tight. I can see this swallowing a lot of my hours and as bored as I am with GTAIV this will help plug that gap until June 12th.

"It is also worth pointing out that Free Radical has plastered a disclaimer on the menu screen saying that this version isn’t the final one."
Hopefully that means the full game will have full 720p, can't see it happening though :(

People are being too nice about this demo. It was garbage, and unless the game is drastically different, the full release will be garbage.

14 - idk
When i dled it couple days ago on EU store I still felt the void on my decision is it worth getting. The nector system to me needs revamping I played the demo on hard mode idk if that was the reason but sometimes Id take damage while under cover or i think im under cover and occasionally my nector overdosed when I havent even used it. I still dont think the single player is going to be a strong point of this game which I think this demo will leave a lot of ppl with a sour taste in their mouths with Haze.
I did like however how the cut scenes were pretty seamless with the co-op mode on pretty impressive.
