Video Review: Haze Demo

Haze Demo Video Review

[CViper]

Only on the Playstation 3(tm)

So stupid.

[Angelitos]

So, what you guys think?

[yesah]

alot better then i thought it would be. I liked it

[Meresin]

I liked the gameplay, but the graphics were exceptionally unexceptional. Resistance: Fall of Man looked a lot better, with higher detail textures, higher resolution, and better anti-aliasing. I noticed very little pixelation in Resistance even on foliage, but it's all over the place in this demo.

It's probably going to be a rental, but I'm considering a purchase. There's bound to be more to the plot than just Carpenter switching sides, and I've a feeling that the voice acting and dialog in the demo was intentionally flat and uninspired. The Mantel troops aren't the good guys...They're a bunch of nectar addicts. They're not supposed to be interesting or emotionally inspiring.

[hartcup]

the begging of the game is supposed to be like this, its part of the pot twist where you start to realise how the corporation is evil

[Shaka2K6]

Another AAA from Free Radical i wasnt expecting anything less.

only on PS3.

Haze > tears of cartoon 1.5

Free Radical > epic.

Haze may be a good game, but it is not a great game by any standards. That demo was just terrible if you ask me. Now i was one of those fanboys that said "Haze is teh PWN" but now that i have played the demo i belive it will get a 8.4 at most. Yes it is a good game, but it is not the AAA game everyone thought it to be. Don't start a flamewar with me. I only own a Ps3, and wii. I also have hyped this game since the beginging. Check my comments if you don't belive me.

The demo was from an earlier build and was the exact same one that was shown at Sony Gamers Day last year, the full game will or should be better.

[Meresin]

I don't expect Haze to break over 8/10, to be honest. The gameplay is good, and I'm sure the story is solid, but the graphics in the demo were just plain disappointing. It looked like a cross-platform game, with all the glorious pixelation problems that those games always have because developers make them to look the same as the 360 versions. The resolution wasn't what it should be, and the game didn't seem to have any anti-aliasing going, so it was a huge mess of jaggies.

It wouldn't seem so bad if I hadn't just been playing through Resistance: Fall of Man, but Haze didn't look anywhere near as good, and Resistance was a release title. >.<

[The Closing]

If you think that this game is going to be better than Gears 2 just by playing the demo then you're a complete fanboy. I can almost guarantee Gears will slaughter this game in every way possible. In-fact I don't think this game will even come close to surpassing the first Gears.

After playing the demo, i had a feeling if meh... I mean come on they took an extra 6 months and yet they deliver an underwhelming singleplayer experience. I know I am judging the demo, but when the release date is just a few days ahead, I don't expect to see much of a change. The AI was ok, the graphics were not good enough, the animation was jerky and the voice acting was worse than I have seen in recent games.

[redmamoth]

Meh.... I had high hopes for this too. I guess COD4 raised the bar!

[heavyarms]

After playing the demo the game feels like timeshift. And yeah timeshift was the worst game i bought for the ps3. Freaking boring, give me something new like msg4 and k2. I'm not wasting another 60 bucks on just another shooter.

[N2NOther]

This demo sold me on saving $60...

[NDN_Shadow]

Is this really necessary?

[yanikins111]

Some twat thinks his views on a demo are important.
Some twat agrees with him and posts it on n4g

1: Wow you can clear the first (tutorial) level on hard without dying? Well done retard.
2: Are you reviewing the old build, or previewing the new one based on the old one?
3: Most times if you shoot someone in the head with any gun they die pretty quick, pistol or not
4: "I HATE IT WHEN" people who suck at games complain about sucking t games.

[chanto23]

im getting it on tuesday just for the multiplayer...the game is not a master piece, but the gameplay is solid enough IMO...hopefully the multi-player is lag free and ill be set

[Ureval]

You gotta admit, that dialogue WAS pretty funny...not in a good way. Was hoping for more from this game.

[SUP3R]

I really hope that pilot scene gets cut in the final build as well as all the other unnecessary cut scenes they have in there.

I'm surprised people still think that the demo was the most recent build of the game. You can tell it's really old just from the feel you get while you're playing it.

[yanikins111]

You really hope that they cut out the cutscreens on a shooter that is going to be heavily story orientated?

I just hope that they make them better....

P.S. i liked it how just after that cutscreen you turn around and the pilot isnt there... Nectar is bliss.

[SUP3R]

I just want them to cut any other unnecessary scenes like that pilot scene. They have nothing to do with the story at all.
"I don't care what you did before you joined Mantel, just give me the damn coordinates lemme get outta here"
Definitely lol@the disappearing act he pulled after that scene.
Crack is wack.

[HydroBoy]

i liked the demo, im so gonna get the game... Funny thing is, the gameplay in the haze demo is better than Halol lol

[felidae]

didn't like the demo ...

the controls felt a little bit clunky and the graphics are not that good - too much glowing textures for my taste.

[xcmike]

the controls are probly bad because you've been playing too much COD4.lol, i have

[The gaming GOD]

played the demo.

I have no gripes about it. Just got bills to pay so I'll have it about a week after the release date.

[The gaming GOD]

Only here at n4g does such stupidity take place lol

[Contra26]

This game is for people with LOW-STANDARD of gaming.

hence... PS3 exclusive.

hence... LAIR

[rushbd]

you do know that you can customize every controls of the game to your personal preference ?

yes you can make it play like resistance or call of duty if you want. try this . it's one of the best features of the game..

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

worried about Sony support?? is this game being monitored by Sony ??
I hope they get 720p
and give it more animations its in been in dev for long long.
They need more money and resources..
Its got hype but its not living breathing PS3 like..
Heavenly sword looked more sharp and life like thatn this game ..its missing the PS3 look...

[jones smokey]

its all about mgs4 now gta4 has passed,....i guess most people were expecting haze to be the next cod4, i was not. haze is just an average fps...not all exlusives are mind blowing.....wait till MGS4!!! thats the next big thing in gaming.

[picker332]

Oh man thought this game would be much better!!!

But it's cr@p pure cr@p,atleast the demo.
