Haze-related news, rumor and speculation have been doing the Internet-rounds over the weekend regarding the fact that the game is a PS3-exclusive. You may recall Spong's coverage of Sony exclusives as mentioned at E3 in which Haze was pegged as PS3-only at least until the end of the year.
This - plus comments made a Leipzig, plus the fact that all mention of any other platforms has been removed from Free Radical's Haze web-pages - has apparently lead to the conclusion that the game will be PS3 exclusive.
So, Spong spoke to a representative at Ubisoft who spoke slowly and clearly to Spong, explaining, "Basically at E3 it was announced that the game would be PS3 exclusive for Christmas. That's where we stand - other platforms have not been ruled out but nothing has been confirmed."
Therefore, right now Haze is exclusive until Christmas... and then might or might not be.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
Just news that we can talk about as a community.
If this is true, I think the amount of Ps3's sold over the holiday will have an affect on whether or not this title stays exclusive after the holiday season. What do you guys think?
Spoke to some Ubisoft persons at the booth in Leipzig and they said just about the same. The other versions are so far in development, they won't cancel them, unless Sony has paid a large amount of money, for paying of all the sales to the more solid 360 userbase that buys 6.1 games per unit average.

Ofcourse dude, I've expected that from you. Are you that ignorant as a gamestore salesdude? View the attached image. And stop that Sony loving, just pull your head out of Kaz's ass. I think you don't own a 360
I think you haven´t been at GDC.
Liar.
@TheMART
I find it hard to believe with the generally negativeness you have on this site and the fact your avatar speaks volumes that you would work in the press.
I mean anyone can do a google and come up with a press pass picture

...back when it was a "confirmed" multiplatform title (circa June), was that it would come out in September for PS3 and January for 360.
"Exclusive for Christmas" doesn't sound like much has changed.
It is good marketing to allow the PS3-exclusive rumors to make the rounds so the fans dreaming of a Halo-killer will jump onto it. By the time the 360 version, which would only get lost in Halo- and COD4-fever, comes out they should have racked up as many PS3 sales as they're likely to get, so the lost "exclusivity" won't be an issue.
Ubisoft is generally smart in their marketting and they know which buttons to push to build up expectations so the game should do as well as its quality merits.
