New Haze Gameplay Footage

Gametrailers: New gameplay video of Free Radicals first person shooter HAZE'

[Iron Man 2]

I still have faith in Haze,it kinda reminds me of Resistance in a way

I can't wait to pick up Haze,God Of War III and many other great games for my PS3 next year!;)

[Omegasyde]

I don't think GOW3 is coming out next year. Hopefully I am horribly wrong. :)

BTW Haze reminds me alot of Halo 1 (not graphically but gameplay)

[zambrota]

Haze would be awesome

2008 is ps3's year. so man good games are coming out in 2008

[zane_7849]

You should have faith in Haze the actual HD videos put on gametrailers by the actual site- look really cool. This old SD video uploaded by some random user does not.

[LastDance]

That video made me definatly not want to waste my time on that game.

This looks like it should be an xbox title.

how can you say that was good? ....honestly?

[TheSadTruth]

This looks horrid. I may be an xbot but I can admit Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are going to be some premier first person shooters but this just looks like crap...

[MikeGdaGod]

cause that sh!t sucked to me.

everything frm the way the other players walked to the explosion at the end. i'll just wait for KZ2 and R2 if i want another FPS this year. i already got UT3

[sonarus]

what pisses me off most about haze is the constant delays. I mean what are they doing with the title they arent doing anything revolutionary not like its 60 player online or 8 player coop its the usual mediocre fps setting. There really is no reason for any ps3 owner to look forward to this game after all that is on our plates this yr. Last yr would have been a worth title but this yr i simply have no interest whatsoever

[Texas GMR]

but that game looked like @ss for the delays. Great sound, but over all, I'd pass and wait for Res.2 or MGS4.

[Foliage]

I usually lean towards the PS3. I'm sure some people would call me a "fanboy" around here, or whatever the new catch phrase is, but I doubt those people could say they own both a PS3 and 360. Heck, I've even played a lot of the wii, sadly. I will also probably end up getting one for Smash Brothers.

With that out of the way, Haze does nothing for me. There is just something that is lacking in the design. It almost seems like they tried to rip halo off in some regards. This game is not on my list. Although early to tell, I'd think there would be some major balance issues in multi-player. If it is balanced well, I'm sure multi-player will be fun. It still isn't on my list, maybe in '07 but not '08.

[Fat Bastard]

You all may not think like the games looks great, and to me it looks like an average fps, but it has its reasons to buy it. The main one is the split screen online, because the only game besides haze that has split screen online is warhawk that i know of, and warhawk isn't first person. I don't think any of the good ps3 fps games this year will have split screen online; as far as i know, resistance 2, killzone 2, and mgs4 don't, and i like playing online when i have friends over so i'm getting it

[resistance100]

Visuals are looking great and it sounding fantastic, i presume that video is from the 4player co-op mode or online.

I've had this on pre-order since September, and now i can't wait even more ^_^

[INehalemEXI]

It is looking great.

[Doppy]

Visually the game looks amazing, except for the driving part it was ok. But the gameplay for that mission was lackluster. This game is coming out with 2 other huge shooters and based off that mission alone Haze will be completely overshadowed, unless it comes out months before Resistance 2 and Killzone 2.

Ideas to help Haze

The nectar mechanic should be a lot more useful than what it does. It should allow you to see the enemy's body temperature in the jungle even when their hiding behind stuff (kind of like the aliens in Resistance). And since your character ends up switching sides this should allow the enemy AI to be extremely challenging even with 4 player co op. Apart from great AI I don't know what else could help this game.

[HarryEtTubMan]

I'm gonna get this for the 4 player co-op and multiplayer... it won't be as good as Killzone 2 and Resistance2 but it will be good. We haven't got to see any good stuff thoGH I bet playing it online with a few friends is a riot... I've got alot of friends that are getting PS3's this year and 3 that got them at Christmas.

What I am MOST excited for. Playing Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Gran Turismo 5, Playstation Home (jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune hahah) freaking SOCOM: CONfrontation which is gonna own sooo hard, Motorstorm 2, and the other 60 good games coing out. But I serisouly can't wait for Killzone 2 and Resistance 2's multiplayer. Killzone 2 is gonna own. ALl its gonna take is a few pics and some new gameplay and the hype is gonna go through the roof. Resistance will be amazing looking but they still haven't shown hardly anything for Killxzone 2. I was reading the developers blog and the whole game doesn't look like that video either. Therea re a ton of environments with badass lighting. Killzone 2 is gonna PWN.

lol Dude I just pwn bullsh!tters. I don't say crazy sh!t like Darksniper and Zhuk LOL (but yes lease give me bubbles!)

[resistance100]

he like Dark Sniper make the ps3 sections of N4G a great laugh with some of there comments

Anyway HAZE is great because it will pass the time between COD4 getting boring and Killzone 2 being released

[Shankle]

Yeah, you're right. Stupid people make me laugh and feel better about myself :D

[TrevorPhillips]

i got a xbox 360 and i like ps3 so thats why im gettin it in a week this game is gonna look good even online also the 4 player co-op =]

[mesh1]

is this game a joke crap a.i lame graphics and lame story line this game will major flop and this is not a new clip not close

[Kain81]

^^

[Skerj]

Well, I see the delay was kind to the graphics and framerate department. It looks really good and the framerate is silky smooth so far. I just hope it's as kind to the gameplay department, because it's looking rather slow. I have faith that Free Radical knows what they're doing.

[mesh1]

the game looks and plays terrible and A.I is as dumb as a hill billy yankee living in texas the game looks scripted and the vegetation and grapics loook like a cartoons

[LinuxGuru]

My father lives in Texas, asshole.

Stupid foreigners.

[f7ss1]

im so sick of shooters

[Omegasyde]

Yet do sell...

From your going off your name I know your waiting for RPG's.

2007-2008 are going to be a drought for Role playing games (besides FF13).

[Edge1105]

well, except for disgaea 3 and wks, if that ever gets released

[Shankle]

Fallout 3? Fable 2?

[kalistyles]

I will probably give it a whirl. Reminds me of Halo also. Not great graphics but probably good gameplay. Hopefully it looks great on my TV.

[SIX]

Love the sound of those guns!

[lswanson1]

ehhhh, doesnt look as good as KZ2 or Resistance 2! Not even close. I might get it if it gets rave reviews but I doubt that will happen

[pwnmaster3000]

why do u have is your picture haze then if u dont have faithe in it

[Rice]

LOL,what a coincidence.... I've just preordered this game, and eb gave me this deal where i get Haze, and i get a full week to play the game, so if i dont like it i get to return it for store credit or another game....

[SIX]

Well that doesn't sound too reassuring does it?

[Omegasyde]

wow really?

So basically you get to "rent it" for free and then be able to get another game with that 60 dollars. Wow. I am off to EB tomorrow!

[resistance100]

GAMESTATION over here, do that on all games

[Bathyj]

Dont EB always have that deal with Every game?

They do here.

[Rice]

I live in Canada so i dont know if the deal applies to America... I also had to pay 5 dollars, but i will get the 5 dollars bak once i recieve haze. So if ur canadian its a good deal.

[Shroomy]

That doesn't look good.

:x

My opinion, sounds are messed up *hoping its the video*

It looks dull and they could add music to it maybe to get some adrenaline rush? I hope this game isn't coming out for atleast another 5 months!

[jwatt]

This doesn't really seem like a new video to me.

[batman2million]

usually tree jerk around more whn something flys over it that close.

[ScottEFresh]

Looks awesome!

[Hydrollex]

looks like someone recorded from a TV

[INehalemEXI]

Yah, it was a user submited video so not the greatest quality video.

[Hades1337]

I saw this footage pre-christmas; its not new. Its just extended footage from an existing gameplay video, so dont think that this is up to date.

[MrWonderful]

haze may still be coming to the 360 follow link and read the last paragraph. http://www.shacknews.com/on...

edit: dont disagree with me . im not a fanboy i just saw this sh1t on g4tv the feed and thought i would share this with the other people here

[JVIDICAN]

radical stated after the delay that is still an exclusive kinda outdated news =P

[heavyarms]

The game looks alright, but nothing special at all. I need to see something much better with this game before of buying it. Right now, its a rental at best.

[marcindpol]

i have no fate in Haze any more, it does not look like neg gen game!!!

this game will score at max 8 in the rewievs

[jahcure]

So since when is 8/10 a bad score? Any game that's scoring 8s are worthy of some playtime

[PS3n360]

Eye neever gets a 8 in skule und dat doesnt sppt me frum speeling gooder dan me brudderdad.

[snoopgg]

I bet it will look just fine. Free Radical aren't just any slouchs when it comes to programming. I bet it looks great and run smooth as butta......

[actas123]

looks good to me. Its a crappy video, but the game looks promising. The only thing that worries me is the enemy solders, I mean are they always on fire or what is the deal with that.. and whats the deal with airline food?,,

[Ju]

They are on "fire" if you use nectar. The drug highlights them.

[SoulReaper]

They cant keep on delaying this game..when it finally release a lot of ps3 fans will have other greats games to enjoy..Haze can be great but keeping quiet on it and not giving us anything at all will just destroy the hype that everybody have for it..

[aiphanes]

Have will come out before the summer...any later and it will get killed by Killzone 2 and Resistance 2.

[jwatt]

It's exclusive for the ps3 not timed exclusive.

[HardcoreGamer]

if you look at cod4 and the way the characters move about, it feels beleiveable thus dropping you into the action, this doesnt move like that, it feels stocky and not beleiveable, they gotta sort that out before a game can immerse you into the action, look at the way cod does it, its fantastic. i hope all devs start to use more realistic motion capture in future

[rob6021]

I think you were referring to the player animations. CoD4 had much more realistic animations probably due to motion capture. The teammate on what appears to be co-op mode looks terrible and isn't moving in a convincingly realistic fashion.

[Guwapo77]

I couldn't agree with your more Hardcore. The character animation is seriously lacking. I thought dev everywhere got pass this...this was the first thing I noticed when the video started. From that point on it only got worst. They have alot to work on still imo, character and vehicle animations, neither seem natural.

The vehicle scene looks very plain unlike the jungle scene. Look how full everything looked... then you hit the desert area...I'm like...eww (sorry for the lack of a better word).

At this point, I wouldn't care if they delayed it to '09, just get the game right!

[Shroomy]

I don't think many would care, it honestly looks crap.

First screenshots looked cool, but it's a wannabee Crysis from what I've seen and it will fall short. Silly bumblebee men with guns.

[snoopgg]

goto gamesradar.com and look in ps3 previews click on 2 in previews. So we will have Haze and Crysis.

[jaja1434]

Well Crysis was just good. Not great, not bad, but good.
After I read so much about it(Crysis) I was hoping it was going to be more open ended than follow the trail kind of thing.

The graphics were indeed wonderful. On my PC I got Texture, post rendering, and vol. metric. to very high with the rest set at high. But with no AA.

Also I wish they made the different suit power more interesting to use. Really all you ever used was cloak and armor. Speed was really only useful for cutting down on the travel time and strength was only really used when you had/wanted to jump to some high point.

And that spaceship level, yesh I got lost or backtracked more than a few times. But all that said I enjoy the game. Nothing great, nothing bad.

[Rice]

gameplay looks solid and smooth... btw is ubisoft delaying Haze?

[Threydor]

This video is old, and it was posted by GT on July 11, 2007.
Here's the link: http://www.gametrailers.com...

[INehalemEXI]

My bad, it did look somewhat familiar.

[Guwapo77]

That explains a lot. Thanks for the find bro.

Ignore my first post then.

[RageFan]

This video is from 2006 when Free Radical first showed the game. You can see that the game has improved much more by watching the gameplay trailer on PSN...

[greg_for_sony]

i might have bought this game but now being released around rfom2 and kz2 i doubt i will ever buy it

[Mr Tretton]

that was boring as hell.

glad I don't care about this one anyway. As a break from FPS is nice, and KZ2 and R2 are on the horizon anyway.

[Clinton514]

At all.

[antoinetm]

The enemy lets itself get flanked, that sucks.

The first company to create a good AI in a FPS is going to make a lot of money because shaders, polycount, physics and sound wont make me buy this game.

[jaja1434]

Farcry had great AI. Crysis was good enough. Though the I think the enemy AI missed their calling for the NBA by how well they managed to get the grenades exactly next to me every time. From the Far Cry 2 vids I say the enemy AI is quite up to snuff.

[antoinetm]

now that you mention it, far cry's AI was indeed good.

But usually the enemy is too dumb or too accurate and can see tru walls

[jaja1434]

Very true, just recently from taking a course in AI last seme. I learned how incredible difficult it is to program. And even though we didn't learn game AI, I can just imagine the difficulty in trying to get a enemy AI to simply recognize a wall, let alone know that it can not see through such wall.

[resistance100]

'The enemy lets itself get flanked, that sucks.

The first company to create a good AI in a FPS is going to make a lot of money because shaders, polycount, physics and sound wont make me buy this game.'

What AI, thats footage from a couple in an online match.

[antoinetm]

you might have more info than i do, but during the first minutes there was no indication of whether this was solo or multi. I suspect that its a coop mission therefore the enemy is a AI.

about the AI, i agree thats its an incredibly huge challenge but there must be a way...i spose

[Genki]

Released in '05 for the PC, and to this day has the BEST A.I. in any FPS to date...bar none.

Get the PC version.

[jaja1434]

The Fear AI was good. Though at times, such as when it decided to crawl under some object while I was shooting at it did make me scratch my head.

[bootsielon]

But I'm not convinced with the gameplay

[THAMMER1]

This game needs a Peyton Manning Priceless Pep Talk.

[The Wood]

maybe it does. lets see how it ends up though

[THAMMER1]

This game needs a Peyton Manning Priceless Pep Talk.

[chrno6]

meh it looks alright. Going to get kZ2 and resistance2, but not this.

[Spinitus]

looks awesome, and the sounds is really good. I'm definitely getting Haze when its out.

[meepmoopmeep]

looks better and better every time i see more footage.

[TH3 GAM3]

WTF, there are no crosshairs in Haze. I'm not liking this at all.

[ARog34]

You know what though, I remember seeing crosshair aiming in all the other earlier videos of Haze... they HAVE to be in the game.

[Shankle]

Timesplitters 2 didn't have crosshairs unless you pressed the aim button and it was fine. It made it more fast and frenzied.

[spike]

This game doesnt look good no more.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

yeah i agree! that looks like crap!!!

[DaEnforcer]

LOL if this looks like crap so I don't wanna know how Halo 3 looks

[smokysmoke]

WILL YOU GUYS HAVE SOME FAITH WHY THE HELL YOU THINK ITS BEING DELAYED??? RETARDS maby because all of the expectations we all have on this game now and all the hype it is getting they want to make it smoother and better have some faith and like someone said upabove itll pass time by till KZ2 and Resistance2 comes out cause those are the GOOD ones but im getting sick of COD4 and UT3 and im sure itll be better then both of them anyways...

[smokysmoke]

the video looked like crap so dont think just because u see some videos online its not gunna be good WAIT till its out rent it or try it out then have an opinion.

[Baba1906]

this is more than 6 months old. so nothing new about it.

[Doctor Strange]

This game looks like it will be a great co-op game. If it wasn't for all the delays it would still be high on my list but its at the bottom now.

Next time they release new gameplay stuff I hope it knocks our socks off because Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 are way at the top right now.

[GITPWNED]

LOL F-L-O-P

[Downtown boogey]

It's not.

[heyheyhey]

its sad to see everyone losing faith in haze

oh well i still think its a great game and it's still a first day buy for me
wed
don't lose faith because of the delay- it will only be better because of it

that 4-player co-op is its selling point for me- i already told my mates about it and we are playing it start to finish

[andron]

I am still hyped to play this. This video seems old though.

I really don't understand those who "have lost faith" in Haze. Thats just lame.

[resistance100]

Whats with people slating the visuals?

I think they look dam good, take into account we don't how old this video is, its near enough youtube quailty video etc.

Wait until a HD video is released

[paper]

This game will blow.

[Shankle]

The graphics are great, and I trust Free Radical with the gameplay, but what amazed me was the sound. The birdsong was really atmospheric, and the guns are brilliantly loud. Then you're left with that tense silence because all the animals were scared away. I think I'll have to pick it up, especially for the four player offline co-op.
Why is it that so many games this generation are shying away from offline multiplayer? It's one of the key things that sets consoles apart from PCs!

[KDash]

somehow. Free Radical made great shooters in the past. Hope the online-mode is fun. I'll check it out...

[sonyfanonly]

WHY ARE YOU DOUBTING FREE RADICAL THEY HAVE DONE TIME SPLITTERS AND THAT WAS AN AWSOME GAME OH WAIT DIDNT THEY SAY THEY LIKED SONYS PLAYSTATION MORE THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM SO THATS WHY THE XBOTS DONT LIKE HAZE OR FREE RADICAL SORRY XBOTS BUT YOU MISS OUT ON ANOTHER AAA GAME GO BACK TO YOUR OVER RATED HALO AND WAIT ANOTHER 5 YEARS FOR HALO 4 AND IT JUST MIGHT BE ON THE PS3

[zonetrooper5]

I've seen the HD version of this sometime before and it wasn't that great. The graphics was bland and not something that would stand out and kick you in the balls and say "HEY SUPRISE!".

Haze is just another generic and average shooter with nothing new to offer. Second I really don't think that Ubisoft would suddenly drop the 360 and PC version of Haze when it was quite a way into devlopment. Maybe they are working on them versions but they are not allowed to talk about it. Meh, is all I can say so I will be getting Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 this year for my PS3 and LBP and MGS4.

[Lex Luthor]

Ewww.
Game sucks.

Absolutely Generic.

[ROCCOZILLA]

the way the guns fire it reminds me of black,the best first person shooter on the ps2.PLAY B3YOND!

[zonetrooper5]

Yeh I agree, where is Black 2?

It was damn fun for sure but it needed a better storyline and enemies should not take like a million shots just to die lol.

[amilimos]

turok imo ... i believe this game will be a big disappointment!

[TwissT]

I remeber back in November when I was gonna get this game right when it came out, then came delay after delay, now this game is in the back of my mind with Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 coming out this year.

[DiLeCtioN]

free radical have delayed this game too many times..about 3 now i think, really bad if you ask me.

well they can delay it all they want cus when resistance 2 lands i wont be on their side

[Salvadore]

I don't really see why people are excited about this game, it looks like another generic shooter which is doing what every other shooter has.

[ninja_united]

naaah i dont like it all kind of yellow

[Mikelarry]

this game aint looking as hot anymore. too many delays without any outstanding improvements to the gameplay.

[ISA_Scum]

The delay lost my interest and purchase. I'll just play R6V till R6V2, then jump into GTAIV and MGSIV to carry me to KZ2, Resistance 2 and hopefully a December import of Final Fantasy XIII.

PLAY BEYOND

[mr_potato]

At first i was interesting in this title but now i can't comprehend why they would delay timesplitter 4 for THIS game.

[mgbass13]

Story doesn't seem very original, but Free Radical makes good stuff and hopefully it was just a bad video. I think it'll be pretty good when its all said and done.

[DarK-SilV]

this game is a crap ..THIS GAME WILL FLOP ON BOTH SYSTEMS (PS3&XB360)>>>

CRAP

[MADGameR]

ever wanted to make money, well im making $500 a month!
wanna know how?. well its called www.swatcash.com/hockey833 its a site where u get paid to
take 1-5 minute surveys and now you're wondering, is it a scam?
well would it be if it has over 10,000 satisfied members? refer to hockey833 and sign up! You get money everymonth ofcourse.. >_O On the 15th usually by mail..anyway Haze looks like its in great shape!

[JuiceBOX33]

not the best video of the game, but i can't wait for its release!

[slpknt6sic6]

i have this fully paid for at gamestop.

[LinuxGuru]

I might use my employee free rental perk to try this game.

Otherwise....it's looking rather bland.

The only thing that could possibly save this game is the nectar mechanic and how that ties into varying styles of gameplay.

[slpknt6sic6]

i hate when people say the game will suck cause a youtube video looks like crap. currently i have RFOM, RATCHHET AND CLANK, HEAVENLY SWORD, NINJA GAIDEN, CALL OF DUTY 4, MADDEN 08, JERICHO, GHOST RECON AWF2, FIGHT NIGHT, TONY HAWK P8, ASSASSINS CREED, LAIR, GH3, UNREAL TOURNAMENT3, UNCHARTED, MOTORSTORM, AND WARHAWK. oh i'm new to this by the way sorry for the long post just stating that i love my ps3! :)

[lswanson1]

I guess I havent thought about changing my avatar since I found out that it will more then likely blow! I did have faith in it at one time but not anymore. Anyone know any other good avatars?
