New info on Haze: Big improvements made, will be released very soon
69
A post in the Official Ubisoft Forums by a Free Radical Staff:
"Sorry guys but Haze is NOT Duke Nukem Forever
Normally we have to be a bit careful about what we say on forums in case it incurs the wrath of Neko or Dr. Doak for giving too much info away, but this time I'm very safe in saying that Haze is coming.
While we can't explicitly say what improvements we've made (I'd love to tell you all the cool stuff we've been putting in!...but I also love my job too lol) I can guarantee you that the extra bit of time has made a big difference for the better.
We understand the frustration caused by shifting things around a bit, but we just want to make sure things are right for the people who'll be playing Haze *very* soon..."

sweet. Now it look like I wasn't wrong to re-preorder this game.
@1.1
I actually think that this game will be a sleeper hit this year.
@1.2
yeah, March will be the only time I will also get a chance to play this game. Because after that, there is just too many games that will be coming out that I will be getting.

on the fence about it...with CoD 4 and UT3 taking up all my time now, I don't really need anything new...and with MGS4 right around the corner, of which is a 1st day purchase regardless, this game will have to be above average to get me interested...
but I like the developer...and and the new gameplay additions seem pretty cool so far...as long as they fixed the polish problems, the visuals didn't seem too bad either...we will see I guess...

The developer of this game knows what they're doing. They're experienced. If you're investing a lot into a shooter like Haze then it's going to be a good game. Look at Insomniac they made Ratchet games and then they make Resistance and that was a good game because they invested a lot into it.

1.8 - Still buying
This might be the game that's gonna get into peoples hands by word of mouth about the amazing multi player and tech features.
Who doesn't love 4 player online drop in and out campaign co op? What about zero load times and a consistent journey throughout the campaign?
Oh and don't forget the fact that we can have 2 players on one ps3 play online with another 2 from another ps3 across the nation. Yea that's right. Online splitscreen.
I'll see everyone online soon.

2 - Does anyone care at this point?
Just curious. With so many first person shooters coming: Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and (to an extent) Metal Gear Solid 4, will we care about Haze? With Grand Theft Auto dropping in April and, as always, taking over the NPDs when that happens, when will they drop this game? I guess if it's as good as they're saying it is, it'll do well but I just see this game getting lost in the shuffle.

Dude, what are you on? There's only 2 exclusive FPSs on the PS3 and in NA HAZE would be the first one in 2008.
You really think having 2 exclusive FPSs is too much?
Last year the PS3 had 2 FPS exclu. and one of them is timed.
This year it's looking like it'll have 3 of them.
So you really think having 5 exclusive FPS in 2years is too much or alot?
This is a great balance for gamers who like FPSs but aren't fanatics of the genre while fanatics also have a bunch of multiplat FPSs to add to the exclusives too.
HAZE will sell well, why? cause it's only the 3rd FPS exclusive to comeout and people already want a new experience from R:fom & UT III

Okay, MGS4 is out till summer sometime. Resistance and KZ2 are coming out by the end of the year. COD is getting....well... a little boring (Infinity, hurry up with the map pack! :) ) UT3 is awesome, so i think a release date in March is fantastic. Just add it to the list of games to purchase.
Man, i'm going to be broke in March. Army of Two, HAZE, and i think a couple more good ones.

Haze has always been just another good shooter. A game that will be right in the middle of games like Prey, Timeshift, Unreal.
Definitely not a Bioshock, Halo 3, or COD4.

This game hasn't been released yet so no one will actually know how good it is. I do agree it will have to be amazingly good to compete with Bioshock and CoD4, but Halo 3?? Give me a break, there isn't much needed to beat that shooter..

will Haze beat Halo?
sales? hell no, how can you beat the game that bombed you with ads during your fast food meal
scores? no, most professional reviewers got paid and/or were anticipating Halo too much to give it a low score, however the lesser known reviewers outlined Halo 3 for what it is- good game, but a disappointment and definetley not the pinnacle of gaming (see Zero Punctuation , Overkill, Armake21 etc)
graphics? bejesus yes
story? probably, the story is looking great (for an FPS that is)
online? no, but online co-op should be a blast
gameplay? this one is obviously a matter of opinion, but the whole nectar thing in Haze is looking pretty decent
it depends on how you look at it you see

5.8 - actually
to be honest halo 3 is as average as they come...
Coming from many years of first person shooters halo bring nothing fresh to the table. Everything in Halo has been done and done better for that matter.
FEAR
CoD
Quake
Doom
Battle Field
Wolfenstein
Half Life
Operation Flash Point
007 goldeneye
my point is there are tons of well established franchises out there that smoke anything halo brings to the table.
I will give Halo props for establishing it's franchise and selling well. Also their online support is impressive, But to call Halo a great game of innovation with a fun and unique game play experience is rather retarded. The game play didn't impress me much. running around bunny hoping and grabbing weapons in a arena shooting each other at the hip like someone with tourettes, thats not my idea of fun or player skill for that matter it's more like a joke. call of duty 4 smokes any shooter out there, especially with the incorporation of hardcore mode. the animation, movement, weapon dmg, and gameplay is beyond anything halo could ever deliver

hay FirstknighT. I fail to see what this game have to do with HALO? Why do you always bring up Halo when it comes to this game? Does this game scared you so much that it might be better than halo?
Before you say I don't have halo, check my profile and check the last game I played on Xbox live.

8 - LOL this game!
I couldn't wait for this game last year when I first saw it, then came it's first delay then more then more, last I heard it was an august release or something but someone on Neogaf is saying March?
I'm still interested in it as I'm a fan of FR but the constant news of delays later and later and later have been doing this game no good. Nothing should be released until they have something concrete. If indeed it is March, that would be a good time to release but I'm not holding my breath. Any later and I think this game is going to be swept away by some of the many other great titles to release this year.
Please release in march and make sure you keep the 4 player splitscreen intact. If the 4 player is gone, so is this game from my wishlist.

Haze reminds me alot of Half Life 2. Now Im not saying that its gunna be in the same league, but the story-driven campaign mode and unique gameplay elements draws comparsions with Half Life.
Should be the first of many top PS3 releases for the year.

20 - If Haze
didn`t have Free Radical as a developer (not counting developers like Imsomniac, Valve and all the other great ones lol) i`m not sure if i would care much about the game, because some showings /previews have been disappointing. With Free Radical behind it, i`m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now. Hope they can show it off soon though.

I think it will be great but the delays have been doing this title major damage. Unless they release soon it's going to be lost amidst a sea of bigger titles.
I don't see it being anywhere near as huge as KZ2 and R2 are gonna be but it'll be a very solid FPS and if they do include the rumoured 4 player split screen I will pick it up day one.

I don't care if it isn't as good as Resistance 2 or Killzone 2, I would pick it up over those two any day just cause of the split screen online. I play Warhawk nonstop cause of the split screen online, so I can play with my brothers and friends and it isn't just a 2 on 2 offline match. My Resistance and Unreal Tournament 3 don't see as much play time. As long as the controls are solid and the multiplayer levels are good, I'll love Haze.
