Confirmed: Haze Never Coming Out on Xbox 360

Via Ripten's Patrick Steen:

"News coming straight in from Play.com Live in Wembley stadium is final confirmation that Haze will eternally be a Playstation 3 exclusive."

[sonarus]

i got to say i didnt see that coming...remains skeptical.
I thought this would be out on 360 at the end of the yr latest

[decapitator]

Well thats that.

[Nostradavis]

guess so.

[decapitator]

Nostra, you know anything about the new killzone 2 trailer or that's bs ?

[HighDefinition]

Why people get mad about delays is beyond me. Delays are always better for the actual gameplay/graphics/sound.

Appreciate Haze when it comes out, cause now when it comes out it`ll be done.

[sonarus]

haze would have been better out last yr when ps3 was lacking games. I am STILL not 100% sold on this game but if i hear good things i will buy. Glad to know its exclusive though as i know a couple of 360 owners who have had their eye on this more that i have and i own a ps3. Maybe this and mgs will whet their appetites a little more till they can't resist the ps3.

Even though the game isn't necessarily a WOW kinda game i wonder if they ran into difficulties trying to port to 360 that's why they have been sketchy on the release. Sony hasn't really been promoting this game so not sure they paid for it. If they did they must not care about the money they paid because i would expect more marketing for a ps3 exclusive. Maybe they were struggling with the port and finally gave up lol

[shysun]

I thought it would go to 360 to.I own a PS3 but didn't think for a second it was exclusive. That's a pretty good game in the PS3 exclusive line up.

[resistance100]

'Nostra, you know anything about the new killzone 2 trailer or that's bs ?'

There is no new Trailer, this was just rumor. =/

[JsonHenry]

What is that noise? Silence. Because no one cares!!

[ikiru3385]

^^ JsonHenry

obviously you cared enough to hit the reply link and post a comment.

[mintaro]

well there you have it

[MURKERR]

now it seems sony can afford to concentrate on what they do best....games,gaming and giving us a incredible gaming experience

wonder how many more exclusives they are going to snag,this war is just heating up

[sonarus]

lol sony didn't make this game so what does blu ray winning have to do with anything

[BSigel81]

I think he was hinting at the fact that Bluray has won, it would be an ideal choice for the developers to go with the PS3, because the install base is increasing dramatically. Not saying that the Xbox 360 doesn't have a huge install base but, with the momentum Sony is having right now it could certainly be a reality to surpass the Xbox 360 and move closer to the Wii. That was what I think he was trying to get to.

[MURKERR]

if your going to reply to a comment READ the comment first before you set your fingers to work,friendly advice

sony were concentrating on bluray and let a few exclusives slip,now bluray is in the bag its one less thing to concentrate on, so now they can concentrate on getting their game library up with exclusives,just like i said in my earlier comment sonarus its not very hard to understand

peace

[sonarus]

lol chill dude. I know what you meant. I too am a sony fan. Most of my favourite games of all time are made by sony or sony exclusive.

I knew what you meant but i simply didn't feel sony deserved any praise on that particular comment so i wanted you to rephrase. Haze doesn't look like it takes advantage of blu ray and i am not so sure sony paid for it considering the exclusivity has been in question for a long time. Plus sony doesn't really talk about the game. I would expect a lot more from sony if they paid

[jiinn]

@2.1

Whoever wants to target 9M instead of 18M or 22M... then yeah, they'll get all the exclusives.

*rolls eyes*

[mistertwoturbo]

@Jinn.

You see, sometimes it's not even just about sales numbers. In a interview with Dave Doak, one of the main guys of Free Radical. A question was brought up on why did they choose to go with the PS3 as the lead platform (at the time) and he simply replied "The little guys need help too"

So you see, the PS3 at the time was the underdog. And yes, the PS3 only has approx a 10 million userbase, and the 360 has a userbase of about 18 million (not 22 million, don't just pull that number out of nowhere). But the industry is seeing Sony's momemtum fast.

Before, people would say Sony will never beat the 360. It did it in Europe, and easily in japan. Then pepole said Sony will never beat the 360 in N/A. Then so far, they've done it for two months and conveniently Microsoft spews out PR talk about shortages.

The industry is realizing, that the 120 million PS2 userbase still have not converted to the 360. Once playstation branded games like MGS4, GT5, and Final Fantasy is released. Place your bet that the PS2 owners will definitely buy a PS3 just for those specific games. It's already happening.

Look at GT5p in Europe, it already got 1 million pre-orders. For a game that 360 owners like to call a "Demo". Well it's certainly going to be the best selling "Demo" ever. And nobody really needs to worry about the full GT5 sales numbers, it's going to sell like hot cakes anyway.

So you see Jinn, not everybody is short sighted like microsoft in the industry. Some companies, like to plan for things in the future and not blow they're shot in one load.

[robbo918]

I think he/she was using Wii for the 22 million and the X360 at the 18 million mark. The sad part is Jiinn can't realize that 9 was passed by PS3 a while back but he/she stopped counting it appears. PS3 is close to 11 million now actually.

[tfur]

Actual global sales estimates. Numbers are in millions of SOLD consoles, NOT shipped. Ending Feb 2008.

Wii ~ 21.5
360 ~ 16.3
PS3 ~ 10.1

[robbo918]

What is your source for that information Tfur? Do you have a link? I am not being a jerk, seriously curious what source you use.

[Mc187]

It's about time someone said it.

[THC CELL]

Ha that is all

[Hydrollex]

lol dumbox 360s

[Z F1GHT3RS]

ok ps3 fans, u got this one. it was a shame xbox didnt have this i must say. it is a shame for us xbox owners. there is no point saying no like some and denie it like some on this site. but i must say it was the same about the gta4 and the dlc. some were saying(kaz and sniper cough cough) that they were getting it aswell saying it was not exclusive to xbox. but wen it was announced that it is exclusive they all started saying that it wasnt needed, i hope no one does it on here.

shame but have fun playing it people who own a ps3. make sure u write a review.
hope it is good gaming.

[Infolite8907]

I can Imagine all the 360 fanboys saying: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO!" As they weep in tears knowing the fact that another game is not to be on the 360. They're playing their mass effect and and their cod4 games (which I hear is officially better on the PS3). Later on in the future they see Haze being release on the PS3 as an exclusive and they are reaching to buy a PS3 but they still don't want to jump out and play beyond. lol But they'll say: "We have better games!" lol

[BLUR111]

whats haze?? oh a shooter for ps3 ohh ok cool you ps3 fanboys need something.

[CyberSentinel]

As if we needed another wannabe halo/gears of war FPS on the XBOX 360!

The PreinStallion 3 can keep it.

[tidus007]

That DEFECTIVE LOW POWERED GARBAGE BOX 3 FIX ME has 0 games for this year

HAZE is just too much for DEFECTIVE BOX 3 FIX ME which can handle cartoon games like GAYLO 3 but only at 640P

what a shame????????

[Mr Playboy]

Another lair on the way

LoL

[resistance100]

I've been playing it for hours, check out my impressions of Pslegion.com when its posted later this evening

[hazeblaze]

Been playing Haze? I was extremely excited for this game before but my excitement has began to wane with all the delay. I fear that they have already shared all their surprises with us regarding the story & the gameplay... had they kept some of those secrets closer to the vest, the game would have been extremely exciting that first play through. It still looks like a very decent shooter at the very least though, so I'll still purchase it in May... hopefully there's still some surprising moments in there for me!

[sonarus]

yea i will check them out.

[Storm23]

Just give us a quick thumbs up or thumbs down right now...please!?

[OpiZA]

Oh no...

[heroman711]

oh yes ...

[EastCoastSB]

But the game was delayed so many times I think it was inevitable that it was just going to stay on the PS3.

[DrWan]

well that's weird, i thought ubisoft is sort of like EA, always multi-plat, very strange for them to do something like this

[masterg]

If the Developer (Free Radical) says they will only to it on PS3 the publisher (Ubisoft) has no choice but to comply unless they have any written contract saying so.

The great thing about this is this: TimeSplitters 4 in development directly after Haze PS3 release... SWEET!!

[vloeistof]

lol

[Z F1GHT3RS]

u sad little bot
no one is going to say nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
like a little child. wow we dont get are 1001 game. woopy doo oh no
just play ur game
and enjoy it.
u droid.
to u there is only 1 thing in life and that is a peice of hardware.
so ur comment fan girl is petheticaly stupid.
took u long enough as well for a good shooter.
(r:fom is ok, though it is a bit easy the shooting that is. i am a beginner and i got 20 kills first match. cum on)
but it is wat u like
good gaming everyone

(edit: thats what u sed about the DLC for GTA:4)below)

[Boldy]

"Sony must have paid Ubisoft/Free Radical a nice little packet to bag this one."

That must be false, Sony neeever pays for exclusivity.

But really good for Sony, I thought that it eventually would be released on the PC/Xbox 360, but I guess I was wrong.

[iAmPS3]

LOL LOL LOL

The BOTS will say: "The game is crap, we don't want it!!!!!"

Well, the game is awesome, people playing it are saying that it brings a really fun gameplay to the table. And it looks stunning!!!

One more hit to the Almighty PS3!!!

May Sony Gods Bless Us ALL!!!!!!!

[Spike47]

is extremely suprising, Haze was a game that I thought would definetly go on the xbox360.

From what I've seen the game looks a bit average, but Free Radical has improved the game alot.

We'll see if the game turns out to be sucess or a flop, it could turn out either way from what i've seen.

[tweaker]

Okay?

Now release the damn game.

[Red-Blitz]

I wouldn't be surprised if they delay the game... again, same as home

[mirroredderorrim]

Good thing I own both consoles. Now if I can just work up the nerve to create a Live account..

back on topic, Haze looks good thus far, especially after the supposed "overhaul".

[Kaz Hirai]

There's been so much bad news for Nazisoft and the 360 recently!
You know what, PIGS? Sometimes King Kaz feels sorry for you.

But most of the time.................I just LAUGH at you!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[iAmPS3]

LOL

You are out of this world Kaz!!!!
Awesomeness!!!

[vloeistof]

give him bubbels he rocks

[kosha]

too right there nether gonna get this but calling the microsoft people nazis was a bit harsh

[PimpHandStrong]

this should help the PS3 take some of the xbox fanbase b4 they buy a 360 ;-)

we all know FPS is what brings in the gold memebers

[jaja1434]

Care to name a game on PSN thats as wildly played as COD4 and Halo on PSN that is not an FPS?

[SSJSubgeta]

G T 5 PROLOGUE.

[jaja1434]

Though I don't have numbers, I seriously doubt Prologue comes anywhere near chose to COD4(PS3) or Resistance/Warhawk.

[Sk8boyP]

Warhawk

[Delive]

Asked for an answer, they gave you 2.

GT5:p is out in Japan and the online is very popular. Once released in UK/US, GT5:P will compete with CoD4, though CoD4 may maintain it's spot because it is that good.

Warhawk (Third Person Shooter) would technically qualify as an answer.

[EZCheez]

I'm a Free Radical fanatic, and I'm going to buy the game, but the delays have completely erased all of the hype for this game.

[HighDefinition]

to get excited about when games are "suppose" to come out. Haze is gonna be awesome, as a Free Radical fan you know this....man. LoL.

Hopefully now that it`s exclusive (for sure) they can utilize the strenths of the PS3.

If that is the case, I don`t mind waiting for it at all.

[mistertwoturbo]

There's only a month and a half left. As bad as delays seem, they're making a better game for us. I honestly think if they released it in November, it would have definitely gone Multiplatform for sure. It would have been critizied left and right and probably got a 5/10 in reviews. It would have been glitchy and incomplete.

Glad Free Radical knew this before releasing it too early.

[The Wood]

that may change should it prove to be a good ip. The die hards may never give it its props.

[HighDefinition]

definitly no props, now that it`s exclusive.

[Stryfeno1]

You are right....I dont care.

[poopsack]

Yeah, superior multiplatform games right? Your delusional, thanks for the list though, we all have lists ya know?

[The Wood]

should make comments in the open zone only. Cummon now, what could you possibly like or contribute sensibly about the ps3 or sony with a one sided/childish name like that.

Relevant list by the way............*sigh*

[masterg]

@Gaystation 3

Did you just list every 360 game in 08?

I´ll give you "Gears of War 2" that is a sweet game that I'm happy to wake my 360 up for.

[snakeater3]

i dont think the xbox needs another shooter. correct me if im wrong. anyways, free radical were always a sony dev first and foremost (did they make goldeneye on n64?)

[lodossrage]

Free Radical was a nintendo developer. Remember, they were a division of Rare Ltd. Before MS bought rare.

And yeah, they did make goldeneye for n64

[Delive]

Nice to see someone reply to a comment without defensive, immature ranting. He mentioned the 360 not needing another shooter. That could have opened the door. I liked your response. This Bubb's for you.

[lodossrage]

Thanks man

And yeah, I knew how some people would have taken his statement and I was indeed attempting to halt the possibility of any confrontation. Hell, thanks to confrontations we have an open zone aka the "immature zone" as it is. Which is really ridiculous I think.

But I guess it is necessary these days.

Oh and + bubble for you too

[PimpHandStrong]

if ur game was a bit buggy and going up against Call of Duty what would you have done!

I think a May release is a nice time to inject some nector in the PS3

[kingOVsticks]

well thats cool that it has been reconfirmed before the rumors start to leak like "OMGz HaZe 4 DA 360 N 3 MONths roflflfl" and with talk of far cry on the PS3 it is the definite system for FPS gamers.

[lockload]

Flop

[Sevir04]

UT3 has sold over a million on PS3, Confirmed in january by midway and epic. Flop, Hardly. any game that can sell over 400K is certainly not a flop.

Haze should be marketed very well if they wish to at least cross the million mark. Should they allow sony to blitz it then we should see something pretty good

[jmare]

The sales for UT3 on PS3 were never going to be astounding. Or at least not as well as some people thought they would be. UT is a PC game primarily and an extremely hardcore one at that. UT3 has ben doing alright for the PS3 and piracy is raping UT3 on the PC.

[Spike47]

the delays have really hurt the game's hype.

free radical should reignite the hype with some new cool feature, I'm sure Haze's current release date is here to stay, for good.

[Sev]

Who says Sony cant secure some exclusives of their own? They just needed some install base first.

[MaximusPrime]

*points at microsoft and their devoted xbots and laughs*

[v1c1ous]

i dunno about haze 2....

[SUP3R]

By the time HAZE2 is released PS3 would have dominated the market lol!

[Rice]

BOOM!!!

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

Cool;)

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

Cool!!! ;-P F**K xBox!!! ;-D

[Pain]

Looking at you Xbot.....

[The Wood]

this news is likely to push the sales a little further from the ps3 user base as 'everybody prefers exclusives' myself included

Maybe free rad bit off more than they could chew and instead of having to release the 360 down the line when the game may be 'irrelevant', they've canned it instead.

[lockload]

What do you expect them to say? I dont know if it is truly ps3 exclusive or not but sony could most likely get a financial payment if ubisoft even mentioned a 360 version

Like i said i have no idea if it is or not but a comment at a *public event* is no proof at all, the reps are no more than marketing people

[gambare]

If a girl tells you that she loves you in a public place doesn't count because you need that confirmation in a private place?

[BLUR111]

who cares for this news if you have both 360 and ps3 lol

[BLUR111]

cuz you fanboys are poor! HA u fucs

[The_Engineer]

and Im glad it is PS3 exclusive, so far games that have been developed exclusively for PS3 have been FARRRRRRR superior to anything seen on the 3fixme.

[ElfShotTheFood]

It's still coming to other platforms.

[HighDefinition]

Ok?

[skynidas]

...

[jmare]

Just like Halo 3 is coming to the PS3?

[Booyah]

Are you trying to be funny or.... you're completely stupid ?

[jmare]

Yeah, I is so stupid. I gots noe i-deer wat that there sar-casms be. Thnks u evar so much fores pointing that outs to i.

What do you think?

[LastDance]

Im glad they have delayed it. Nobody wants a broken game with patches in the works. Good games dont get rushed. Devs who pour their heart and soul into their games deserve massive credit And all i see is..

OH Yea lyk I was totaly gonza BuY diS gAme But lyk Im totally Ova It nOw, ThIZ GaME is Gona bE jUSt aNothEr Shoota Now beCasueSE oF da DelAys..

for shame. They work harder to create a better experience..for YOU...and what do they get in return.

[SUP3R]

I agree completely.
The game being delayed meant developers weren't satisfied with the final product they had at that time.

Compare the screenshots before to the screenshots now, the game looks amazing. They've also changed the lead characters voice to a more hard @$$ type, which is a huge + for me cuz the previous voice was way too geeky. The multiplayer looks fast, intense and seriously something to draw you in, not to mention the 4 player online co-op...who can say no to all that?

On top of all that, it's Free Radical, when have they ever delivered an underperforming FPS?

I'm buying HAZE on day one, but it's a sad time in games when gamers can't appreciate the work great developers put into their games for us.

[LastDance]

no matter what gamers say, if the game plays well i think people will buy/play it regardless of what they think now.

Free radical are 1 of the FEW devs who are actually grinding all their blood sweat and tears into their game.
I have seen a SLEW of mediocre games come out on next gen systems, left and right. Even the AAA titles are missing something here or there.

Atleast some1 is still in it for the games.

[sak500]

No worries. It looked pathetic anyway. We'll be happy with...

BioWare: Mass Effect 2 360 exclusive

[HighDefinition]

you honestly think EA is going to put of ME2 exclusively? When PS3 has been dominating the 360 in hardware sales all 2008 so far. ME2 won`t even be out until 2009, and the PS3 will have picked up even more w/ MGS4/RFOM2/GT5/FF13s and probaly GOW3 by then. EA is not going to pass that up.

[LastDance]

yea..what do free radical know about FPS.

Edit:people arent suppose to agree with that...if you think so you have definatly been playing to much gamecube.

[jmare]

For what, six months? Bioware said it would be exclusive "at least for a little while."

[InYourMom]

Enjoy Haze and it being exclusive.. But please do not think ME2 is going to the PS3. If ME2 goes anywhere it will go to PC. Believe me this game WILL NEVER BE ON THE PS3. To think anything else is just being dillusional.

Just enjoy Haze and stop making up FUD.

[sak500]

"ME2 won`t even be out until 2009, and the PS3 will have picked up even more w/ MGS4/RFOM2/GT5/FF13s and probaly GOW3 by then. EA is not going to pass that up."

LOL, and when are you expecting GT5, FF13, ROFM2, GOW3 etc?
@others

So now since its EA they will definately make a port of ME2 for ps3. WHat a turnaround by you guys who were blaming EA for all bad ports and boycotting their products. You are bunch of politicians i swear who would say/do anything just to make urself sleep better at night for not buying a console with better games (ATM).

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Free Radical are the ex members from RARE that worked on GoldenEye.

Also Timesplitters

[DarkSniper]

Free Radical Design is one of the smart developers in the industry. They realize that Haze can only be realized on the superior PLAYSTATION® 3 console. XBox 360 is on a dramatically sharp decline. So it makes absolutely no business sense to port over a game to such a garbage console.

If this game was ported to XBOX 360, Haze's graphics would look no better than the original Medal of Honor on PSX.

$niper

[TheMART]

Ah that's why 95% of all multiplatform games run better on the 360.
That's why:

360 to PS3 ports suck (maybe the so called great hardware isn't so powerfull afterall??)

PS3 to 360 ports look about equal, see Burnout Revenge for example

I guess DarkBrown Diaper needs glasses

[DarkSniper]

Speaking of Burnout Revenge, would you mind removing your hard drive from your XBOX 360 and trying to play a game online through XBOX Live?

Tell Dark Sniper what happens after that.

$niper

[tweaker]

There is no such title as Burnout Revenge on the PS3. Marty you keep on mentioning this.

It makes your research real credible. lol :)

[iAmPS3]

OMG, you don't even play games. Burnout Revenge????? on 360 and PS3???
Come on, dig a grave and bury yourself alive.

Your disgrace of a gaming console is rolling downhill like a 90 year old fat lady that tripped on a rock.

And your rock is called RROD.

Good luck with all the money you wasted on your precious 360, maybe Microsoft will buy back all the 360 to help their customers agree to buy anything from them, ever again.

May Sony Bless Us All!!!

[tidus007]

Burnout,COD4,AC,DMC4 all run and look much better on the PS3.

Multiplat games that matter all run better on PS3

However PS3 has games at 1080 P NATIVE.

Unfortunately no x360 games run at that rez NATIVE

GT5/NGS/RR7 run at 1080P NATIVE at 60 FPS on PS3.

GTA 4 looks and run much better on PS3. GTA4 was also downgraded to run at 720 P because of XBUG LOW POWERED 3 FIX ME

[Z F1GHT3RS]

go and play ur playstation 2.
obviously u no nothing about next gen personaly.
all the infomation u ge is from over run web sites like this.
go back to ur RUBBER ROOM droid

sniper kill

[TheMART]

Well

IF it EVER comes out that is. This game should have been here fall 2007, to counteract the Halo 3 effect, but it got delayed another time.

Have been playing this on the PS3 at the Leipzig Games Convention in 2007, but everyone agreed: average shooter, although the Nectar thing is a funny twist.

[jctoyou]

i was waiting for the mart or pog ect to turn up like a bad smell,haze is for the ps3 piss off and play ur crapboxes u losers!

[MrWonderful]

ever since halo 3 came out xbox sales have started to settle down. this is not a suprise to some as develoopers start to realize their dreams can only be brought to life on the ps3. with the install base growing more titles will return to the exclusive state on ps3. oh and stop using halo 3 as a defence!!

[HarryEtTubMan]

HAHAHA Angry senile old BOT.... PS3 is gonna destroy the POOPbox.(already is beginning to)

[Neurotoxin]

I don`t think 360 owners will be missing out on anything spectacular anyway, besides you have lots of great titles to look forward too.

[mighty_douche]

Should of decided this day 1 so they could of really pushed the hardware.

[HighDefinition]

could have decided this a while ago, and just not said anything.

[TheWickedOne]

Never say Never

[jmare]

But you just said it twice.

[TheWickedOne]

nice - bubble

[kewlkat007]

from Sony's library..we'll see.

This game will not be GOW, Res, COD, Halo 3's solid numbers, I don't think. Hopefully it sells well.

I'll be trying a DEMO, if PSN gets one. Won't be buying it.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

its cool mart...enjoy "slightly better multiplatform games that i can play on my ps3 as well" and i'll enjoy bangin ass exclusives

[undacovabrothe]

That I have wished for the best and still wishing for the best but idk if Ill want to buy this game in May.. Im going to be playing gta in may and by time I done with GTA ill be gearing for MGS, so I think Haze kind of missed me. They really had its chance back in nov last year with my money. Unless this game turns out to be a AAA title I wont be buying this 1 sry FreeRad...

Oh yea BTW this was always confirmed as an exclusive just the persistent 360 community keep trying to act like its not. They just seem like fools at the end of the day. The funniest 1 I seen was the MGS coming to 360 rofl that was hilarious.

[jmare]

It wasn't officially confirmed as exclusive. Ubisoft would just say that they had no plans to bring it to other consoles. And timed right, Haze could do well. Ideally, Three weeks after GTA and three weeks before MGS4. I think that would be its best bet. Otherwise it will get crushed by both games.

[poopface1]

I guess they decided for me, even though id probaly only rent it. Unfortunaty for them I dont see this game doing so great. So many big releases around that time and its only on one system. It isnt going to do as good as they hope, most likley. Well I like free radical and know that they can deliever the multiplayer goods so mabe nextyear when I get a ps3 ill get it at discount price.

[Bill Gates]

The 360 is truly positioned to sell LESS than the original xbox...........AHAAHHAHAHAHAHH AHA

I LOVE IT........AAHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHAH

[iAmPS3]

Bill, I will give the only 2 reasons they sell this much:

1 - RROD (Gamers had to buy new consoles or backup consoles to avoid having to stay months without playing);

2 - Achievement Whores (You can't underestimate these people, Nazisoft keeps pounding them in the ass and they open their wallets in exchange, amazing specie!!!!)

Good luck BABOONS, a dark, sad, sorrow gaming future awaits you. Unless you decide to join the ultimate gaming console: PS3.

May Sony Gods Bless Us All!!!

[Empyrean_Eclipse]

disgusting avatar! lol

[zerolinkgannon]

is gonna get drowned in the crowd of sweet PS3 games that's soon to be released.

[Doctor Strange]

That settles that. I still want to play Haze for the fact that Free Radical is behind it and I with all the delays it should be good.

[tony]

they can start working right away on the sequel or new ip.

[u got owned]

who cares????

yawn

[Stryfeno1]

With thousands of FPS on the 360, do you actually think anyone cares about Haze not coming to the 360? NO! Plus no-one has played Haze yet to know if it is going to be a good game or not.

[Bathyj]

Right here, I called this from the start. This game was never going to another console. I'm sure Ubisoft might have wanted it to, but Free Radical never did. You could tell they always wanted to make this game the best it could be. This news is not surprising at all. The only thing surprising is I think this game as I have said from the start is going to be alot better than alot of people think and once some reviews and word of mouth start will do well and compete with whatever its released next to.

[ninja_united]

LOL

[SahFriendly]

No one cares I thought this game looked lame back when they thought it was going to be on 360. Honestly you guys can have it. Maybe you can rub it in my face when I'm playing Ninja Gaiden 2 or Left 4 dead or maybe fable 2.

[MrWonderful]

hey guess what no one give a damn what you think. hahaha
or maybe we'll rub it in your face when we're playing MGS4, GT5P, Killzone2, and lets not leave out LBP

[hack6464]

FAIL!!!

[Niclas]

Gonna be a fantastic game, no doubt.. actually not that different from Halo .. Lots of vehicles, weapons, spanking online (including wooping 4p online splitscreen, fantastic for lan, like halo;P) i really think this game is gonna kick ass! you know, last year ppl werent very impressed with it, so they pushed it some months.. thats the way 2 do it Free Radical!
(Another thing, free radical is actually made from alot of the guys from Rare, hmm yep.. actually the same team that made Goldeneye 4 N64 :P)

lol.. /Care about it not coming on the 360.. just confirming my PS3 AND Xbox360 purchase :D ..

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

To all of you who support my baby thank you;)

[Kaz Hirai]

Sony Soldiers- bow down to the Father of the PlayStation!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Z F1GHT3RS]

bow to him.
god this sight is getting worse.
this has a severe case of fanboyism.
thats one of the most childish idiotic rhing i have heard on N4G.
hahahahahhaahaha
thanks sony soilders.
wat a great start to the day.
u dont know how sad u look.
oh yer great multi account
since they are minutes away from each other lol

[hack6464]

Learn how to spell. All the cool kids are doing it.

Your vision getting really bad then?

[Hentai]

I was hoping this would go to 360 so everyone could enjoy it. Oh well, Sucks for fanboys. :(

Can't wait for this game though. :D

[gambare]

they just need to get a PS3.

[Strife Lives]

Not me. Haze, they cn say this all they like,their just trying to buy hype.for ps3 owners,just hold out and buy Resistance 2, really,ths game seems 1 dimensional.

[LevDog]

Its prolly for the better.. Another FPS on the 360 that would have been wierd.. I dont think they have any of those yet...

[grilledgorlupa8]

Free Radical is my 2nd favorite FPS developer right after Value. They have a proven track record for me when making solid FPS games so yeah yay for making really solid games to build trust with the consumer.

[-EvoAnubis-]

By "Value," I hope you mean "Valve."

[grilledgorlupa8]

yes yes I did

[THWIP]

...360 gamers are missing out on a shooter. Whatever will they have to fill that FPS void? :o

BTW, the joke's on Sony/Ubi/Free Radical. However much Sony paid to keep this exclusive, is simply $$ down the drain; this game will do good to sell 2 million copies on the PS3.

[GETPWNZORED]

Hated the idea of this game before they announced any platforms. And please remind me as to why should I want it when I have Gears??? lol. You stupid sony swine need all these mediocre jehrico/area-51-type crap shooters (krapzone, a sequel to a krappy game, resistance, another sequel to a mediocre bald space marine shooter which got destroyed by gears 1, etc. etc.) to make-up for the lack of having ONE amazing shooter that does it all. sad, but also funny! LOL.

[Hentai]

Calm down buddy. Not having this game come to 360 is not very good. Many people are looking forward to this game. This indeed is going to be a great may. I was hoping this would be time exclusive so i can get it for 360 and play it with me friends. But, oh well. I'll just get it for the ps3 and cry. ^-^

[Gaara_724]

gtpwned i have 2 options for u
1. eat youre bannanas and stfu

[hack6464]

[BananaBoy]

i love your mad punctuation skills. you should be a teacher someday. props man, props.

[mugoldeneagle03]

but after constant delays I'm passing up Haze.

The new COD4 Map Pack will hold me over until GTA IV. GTA IV until MGS4. MGS4 to Socom Confrontation. So on and so forth...

Sorry Ubisoft

[Ri0tSquad]

Oh well.

[FirstknighT]

Why would I want a cheap imitation of Halo when I can just play the real thing.

Keep Hazo!

[masterg]

No matter how great you think a game is, you cant play it forever can you?

[Boink]

as this looks like an average shooter at best. RFOM2 looks much more interesting to me if I was going to invest in a shooter for the ps3.

but why would play.com take the word of 2 people who are nowhere near the executive level at Ubusoft as gospel?

and if it is exclusive, why has ubisoft never said so?

[MiniMii]

I dont know why fanboys keep saying that it was timed exclusive. The developers always said it was ONLY ON PS3 since E3 2007.

As usual, xbots are uninformed and being delusional again.

Haze is shaping up. Their delay has certainly paid off. Now the new pictures do seem to be touched up a little - just a little. But I believe the final game should come very close to the pics. The interview also stated how everything looked sharp et all.

Great graphics and great gameplay confirmed. Cmon its from the creators of Goldeneye, they practically revolutionized console FPS.

[Z F1GHT3RS]

i wont get it from this game.
i will go and by some necter/honey.
wow
i am jealous not
i got too many shooter for both consoles.
so shut up

[zonetrooper5]

I own both a 360 and PS3 but in my point of view I never saw what the hype was about this game. The graphics looks like a high res PS2/Xbox 1 game, the story sounded pretty boring and the gameplay looked alright.

Again, I sort of doubt this claim that it will forever be exclusive to the PS3, firstly the company publishing the game is Ubisoft who like EA like developing on mutiple platforms. Second, this game was being developed on the 360, PC and PS3, do you really think they would drop both the 360 and PC and all that money just to go exclusive to the PS3?

Again, Sony, Nintendo and MS pay for exclusive, whoever said that Sony doesn't is an idiot.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen the new screenshots. The honor of looking like a high res X-Box game goes to Halo 3. It was a good game, but didn't exactly push the graphical bar any. Gears of War surpassed it easily, and it came out a year prior.

[PSWe60]

and everything but when the hell ARE WE going to get it?

[phalanges]

for the game probably exceed what they were planning to spend, with all the delays. As a result, they don't think it'll be financially feasible to port the game to the 360. They'll probably start on another IP for both consoles.

[wAtdaFck]

OMG!!

I JUST WANNA PLAY IT!!!

[wAtdaFck]

JUST GIVE ME THE GAME!!

PLEEEEEEEEEEZZZUH!

[heyheyhey]

awwwwwwwwwwwww

there there, it's ok- the PS3 is only $399 or £299 nowadays

[J@D]

That pretty confirm it... I mean actually it confirming the game it's a PS3 exclusive. I kinda glad but also quite sad for my Xbox360 friend that want this game... They always can playing on my PS3 ^__^ or maybe this a great push for them to buy the PS3 already ^__^

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

Thank you my mighty friend;)
Keep up the good work on this site.
Us PlayStation fans MUST stick together and DESTROY that thing called a xBox360 and that thing called Micro$oft!!! ;-D
+Always remember all thos hours of fun you my dear PlayStation fans have had playing PS1+PS2+PSP&now PS3;)
I SALUTE YOU!;)

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

The only thing thats going to be killed is your sad xBox360!!! ;-D
Bet its DEAD now anyway!!! ;-D
Good luck with your big xBox games this year like Gears of war 2 and er erm...THATS IT!!! ;-D
+ KAZ + SNIPER + KEN(above) ARE GODS!!!

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

...I SALUTE YOU TO!!!;)

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

...a good week for PlayStation News ;-P

[Fux4Bux]

Good news for the quality of the game. Will definitely use the system to the fullest now. I'm getting really sick of these mediocre garbage multiplats that could've been so much more as exclusive to either system.

[longduckdong]

with 1000 pages for the script, I wonder how long the campaign will be?

I also wonder how much of the bluray disc they used?

[supremacy]

@Gaystation 3
14.3 -
We might care if we didn't have the likes of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Infinite undiscovery, Halo Wars, Left 4 Dead, Project Offset, Tales of Vesperia, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, Too Human and many more games to look forward to. That list doesn't even include XBLA and the superior multiplatform games like Grand Theft Auto 4, Resident Evil 5 and Soul Calibur 4.

you act as if the ps3 a machine not human nor a mammal cares whether you have feelings towards it or not lol man get over yourself, i am a playstation guy myself but you don't see me going the 360 is homo? well if that were the case than all you 360 users and lovers would be one as well given the large userbase thats alot of homos for even a guy club to handle.lol jk/

also the whole superior port thing is out of proportion to say the least COD4 OBLIVION and the rest of the multiplats that actually matter look identical if not better in some cases on the ps3. now madden thats just EA with their quick cash approach, in other words lazyness in their part. man i will feel sorry when they start ruining the likes of biocshock and GTA, ouch.

as far as that list goes, yeah there are some very intriguing games you got there, but even that list pales in comparison to what the ps3 is getting this year and next.

Haze isn't a big title in my book but one more wouldn't hurt i always say, the more the merrier.

Resistance 2,Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Metal gear solid 4,Tekken 6,White knight chronicles, Valkrya,8 days,Getaway3, Motorstorm 2,L.A noire,Heavy rain, Wardevil,
God of war 3,The agency, Aion: tower of eternity,Coded arms assault,Heavily sword 2, Uncharted 2,Eyedentify,Twisted metal,Granturismo 5,Final fantasy 13, versus 13,5th phantom,ico 3, syphon filter, Yakuza 3, Hot shots golf 3, MLB 08, and many more...

psn titles-Socom: confrontation, Wipeout HD, and pretty much everything else you might get on live arcade as well like street fighter 2 HD remix and bionic commando you know those are coming to the improving psn network.

not to knock on your parade buddy but the last splinter cell game wasn't exactly a good game and thus far rumors has it that conviction has been delay several times already due to issues involving physics an AI, soo..... that doesn't look too good right now, as for ninja gaiden while a good game lets be serious is not enough to counter Metal gear solid 4's release, let alone its hype.

yeah xbox live is superior as it currently stands but hey the psn on the ps3 just got started not too long ago and look at how far we've come in such a short time. sure after HOME and the 2.4 update will come to pass facing out the majority of the differences between the 2 services all at not cost. which is good. 150 mb limit? lol thats ridiculous don't you think? can you imagine trying to port Tekken dark resurrection with its full 1080p resolution and sound to xbox live arcade? never mind the bigger games like Warhawk, Wipeout HD ,Socom: confrontation, GT prologue. lol i don't think you can compress those titles enough. man xbox live is great but it too, has its share of limits and setbacks.

so please don't come here dishing your babel, i mean you know what they say, you cant teach an old dog new tricks.lol man tricks are for kids.lol hey don't take it personal but you need to chill a bit thats all.

[7h3ultim8p00]

oh noes, we lost Haze!

/sarcasm

[Rhezin]

ps3 nazis at work

[ICUP]

Go cry to your mom xbot. hahahahahhahahhahhahahhah!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beardtm]

Yeah, doesn't seem good enough to succeed on 360 tbh, but it'll be one of the best FPS on PS3.

[Dits]

Played it today at Play.com Live, really didnt think much of it, graphics are plain and texture popup is laughable. Driving sections were cool but other than that its a standard shooter

[mistertwoturbo]

is it possible those will be fixed seeing as how they have about 4 weeks left of developement?

[Dits]

guess we can only hope. im guessing that was pretty much as final code as were going to see before release though

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

Nazis??? SONY???
Im sorry but its Bill Gate$ Micro$oft who want to OWN the WORLD!!!

[ReBurn]

This is not a big deal.

[Enigma_2099]

... what are THEY doing to fill that 50GB space... cause that's the only reason I can see that they wouldn't.

[techie]

:O

[Figboy]

towards Haze.

i mean, if Haze, looking the way it is, was being made by, i don't know BUNGIE, or Insomniac, many of you would be going gaga over it.

why? simple, really.

because Bungie and Insomniac are a developer noted for quality games.

the sad thing, is that Free Radical is *ALSO known for making, or having a hand in some of the best FPS games out there;

Goldeneye on the N64
Perfect Dark on the N64
the very fun Timesplitters series
Second Sight (a game with a fantastically written story, with great characters and one of the best endings in gaming, as well as fun gameplay.

the point i'm trying to make, is that Free Radical has a pedigree for making quality, *FUN games. the stories for their games are also noteworthy and interesting.

for those facts alone, i'm willing to give Haze a chance, even though it's been delayed so many times, and other games have stolen any thunder it may have had.

in the same way i get excited about a Team Ico game, an Insomniac, Sucker Punch, or Naughty Game, i'm excited about a Free Radical game, though, admittedly, not as much as for the aforementioned studios.

give the guys a break. the PS3 is a b*tch to develop for, it's taken them more time than usual to get a handle on it, and the game will, at the *LEAST, be *FUN, with a really good story.

i know some people are just hating on it because it's a PS3 exclusive (timed or otherwise), and to that, i say GROW UP, and get over it.

Haze doesn't have to revolutionize the genre to be a good time, and if you aren't interested in the, why sh*t in the cereal of those that *ARE interested?

i'll keep and eye out for Haze, since it fits snugly between GTAIV and MGS4. thankfully, the three games are different enough that i shouldn't have a problem from going between them (i jump around when i play games. just this past week, i've flitted between Ghosthunter, Patapon, and God of War, the original and Chains of Olympus, and Silent Hill: Originsl; PS2 version).

[mistertwoturbo]

I agree. Except the part about bungie making quality games.

Let's be honest, Halo 3 didn't revolutionize anything. Only Halo 1 revolutionized the industry for making a successful FPS for a console. Halo 2 made it even further by introducing dual-wielding. But Halo 3? Pfft, it really didn't introducing anything new. And the 4 player co-op was tacked on after Haze gave the idea of 4 player co-op.

[FirstknighT]

LMAO...your silly.

[Rocko]

How you droids are rejoicing over the exclusivity of this game, b/c when it comes out nobody will care and it'll sell like crap.

[KyonoRocks]

Err who cares? Haze has never been anything special looking IMO, didn't it get slated a few months back? (I think it was on gamersyde, that french show)

As long as Timesplitters 4 comes to the Xbox then it's all good in the hood

[slpknt6sic6]

hahahaha nice list all i saw was gears and ng2. but fine ill accept your list but here is ours. resistance2, killzone2, haze, eightdays, heavyrain, lbp, gt5, gow3, the gateway, infamous, wardedevil,final fantasy13 and versus, mgs4, white knight, socom, please the list goes on and on and thats not even the psn tittles and here are the same multiplatforms you named Grand Theft Auto 4, Resident Evil 5 and Soul Calibur 4 which are not superior on your 360 since im 100% sure not every 360 owner has an elite with hdmi!!! while us ps3 owners play in hd(or atleast have the option unlike you), oh and cant forget home.

[FKN Unbelievable]

With Rainbox Six 2 on the way, COD4, Halo 3, Frontlines EC there is no room for this game. It might be a good game but i personally don't trust anything from Ubisoft anymore. Every single one of their games has bad framerates drops and play like sh1t online. I just don't like Ubisoft at this point (Sh1t you seen assassin's Creed.)

[JVIDICAN]

PUBLISHED by ubisoft
MADE by Free Radical
ubisoft isnt involved in the making of the game they just publish it

[vickers500]

Hahahaha.

[KA-BAR]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[JeepGamer]

If Haze is as good as Bioshock or COD4 I'll be greatly surprised.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Then prepare to be surprised.

[Enigma_2099]

the game that convinced me that FPS could be fun for me... before the market was flooded with them!!!!!

[Deios]

I can't wait to play this 4 way co-op game.

[FKN Unbelievable]

You absolutely right.

But that game still have framerate issues.for a Next-Gen its should not be low-res with frameskip during explosions with low detailed backgrounds. I seen the video playthrough on that and i still won't touch that sh1t.

[SuperSaiyan4]

In all fairness Ubisoft are making SplinterCell Conviction exclusive for the Xbox 360 (and perhaps coming to PC) so its fair I guess that PS3 gets an exclusive also.

The PS3 does need more exclusives and hope this game turns out to be a top title.

[le killer]

coming to the ps3...starting too look like a console that only has fps/action and driving games...might be time to get one then.

i love it when the sony army say things like the above about the 360. when more and more that's all that seems to be on the ps3.

[tudors]

I don't really like the look of this game, 360 has plenty of shooters so this is no great loss, I am not saying that it wont turn out to be a great but I don't see it being a system seller, on the other hand it may be the next Halo?

[Alexis Machine]

You all suck rotten eggs

[zonetrooper5]

Yeh I've seen the new screenshots of Haze and tbh, they do look shooped to the max. If thats how it really looks ingame then fine but still looks touched up.

Also Halo 3 brought in Saved films feature which I think is pretty big, hell the makers of Killzone 2 even said they may include it into Killzone 2. Sure Halo 3 was more of the same thing, yes I'm a Halo fan but for its features that it has, its damn good value. The single player could of been longer though but the mutiplayer is fun and balanced which I like.

[sleepbox]

360 has so many more FPS than PS3 I seriously doubt any 360 owners really care. It never really looked like a game I wanted in the first place.

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

+
Confirmed: GTA5 Never Coming Out on Xbox 360
Confirmed: RE6 Never Coming Out on Xbox 360
Confirmed: Gears of War 3 Never Coming Out on Xbox 360!!!
Confirmed: No good Games Never Coming Out on Xbox 360
;-D
IT's GOING TO HAPPEN YOU xBots SLAVES!!! ;-D

[Firestorm]

It will probably be a better game if devs focus on 1 platform.

anyone know if this game supports keyboard and mouse like UT3?

[sleepbox]

Funny how when a FPS gets announced to go to PS3 there is dancing in the streets...especially when a new franchise that is unproven is announced.
