Haze release date really real, finally final

Haze's release date has officially been locked down and is not set to change again. Ever. CVG is reporting that it has confirmed with Ubisoft that May 23rd is the date that the game will be available in Europe. Haze has been in release limbo for several months now, after it failed to make its November 2007 release date and was pushed to early 2008. Then, in late January, it was pushed back even further with a vague "fiscal 2008/2009" date attached.

Now, however, we can be certain that we'll be getting our hands on the Nectar infused shooter on May 23rd in Europe. Though there's currently no word on a US release date. It may not have impressed us much at the Play.com Live event, but we're still intrigued. If only to get closure on what has been one of the most confusing releases we've ever known.

Its like they are forcing us to care about the game when in reality no one really does anymore.

For me it is just something to play while i avoid the internet in hopes of eluding the inevitable MGS4 spoilers.

We all know that you wont resist the temptation to open the 1500° new at N4G with the title: "MGS4 Hands on, the best game ever made (Caution major spoilerssss)

That is probably the best date to pick, right after the GTA4 hangover wears off, and right before the MGS4 party starts.

*clicks dissagree*

Sorry bud, but I care about the game still. Haze will be a great ride IMHO and just for the sake of it being developed by FreeRadical, I will be picking it up day one. Just because you care not for the game doesn't mean that everybody else thinks the same.

You guys happen to notice that the sites previewing are saying the game is o.k?

For a game in a long time in development, it should rock my socks off.

i.e. Gta4, MGs4...and hopefully killzone 2 and Final Fantasty and Alan wake.

The graphics might not be up to par to today standards but the whole Nectar aspect really sounds like fun with all of the different ways of using it for yourself and against the enemy. Actually looking forward to it after seeing the videos for it that were released just recently.

It would be really hard to improve the graphics after they've already

Made the character models
Made the environments
Painted all the textures
Written all the shaders

I reckon they just aimed too low with the graphical quality to begin with, and now there's not really much they can do about that. The delay (I hope) has probably all been spent on refining/balancing/improving the gameplay rather than the graphics.

For all the PlayStation fans...

Buy it, or it wont be exclusive no more! Uh-oh...if that happens you cant put it in your lists no more.

Its a freakn joke...im poking fun at the people who look at sales figures and exclusivity rather then playing the game.

I will drop 60 if....

1)The co-op is as great as it sounds...

2)If 4 player death match (splitscreen) is awesome.

I know the single player will be great, but what do you do with a game you have beaten 3 times? You go mutli...but what if I have friends over who don't like mariokart?

point it, I expect alot out of the people who did timesplitters especially with the splitscreen aspect of the game.

Thats good PirateThom.....But I don't think breakfast is asking you to buy crap. He is actually asking true gamers and PS3 owners to support a great developer, that has a track record of making THE BEST CONTROLLING, PLAYING, SMOOTH, FUN, console FPS's on the market. Anyone who owns a PS3 that liked Timesplitters, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark (Not that 360 crap version either)should buy this game and try to keep Free Rad making exclusives for PS3.

This developer is known for making it's debut PS2 new franchise in Timesplitters, run at a constant 60fps, play as smooth as butter, control on a dime, and was the single most fun on multiplayer splitscreen than any other game last gen.

So all these graphics wh0res these spouting on about Killzone 2 are crackheads if they boost Killzone 2 up to unrealistic proportions, then slam a game like Haze because it doesn't look like Crysis. You clowns need to realise that Killzone 2, is coming off the back of Killzone 1 ( a deserved 7.5 scoring game) that had PS2's best fps graphics last gen, but was plagued with mediocrity...In stark contrast, TS and TS2 were the best console fps's last gen, bar none.

I will be getting Killzone 2 (I enjoyed 1 a lot, even with all the problems), but I will be getting Haze, and will not be holding my breath with fear of dissapointment as much with Haze, as I have more trust in developers that put monkeys in their game, over developers that name themselves after one.

lol halo killer... yeah i really dont see that happening. people most likely have lost interest with the hype last year, then the delays over that last 5-6-7 months. i was super stoked when i heard about/ saw this game. but then with the continous delays i got over it and discovered the beautiful game far cry 2 (which hopefully doesnt get the same treatment). neways, imo this game probably wont be 1/3 of what halo was on xbox.

yeah this game should have came out last year in november. I was excited for this game back then but now since GTA IV and MGS4 are coming up idk if i'm going to buy it. Unless it ends up getting high reviews or something. The co op looks tight.

yeah i totally agree with you. with GTAIV/MGS4 coming out i dont think this game is gonna do to hot with sales. and i wouldnt be surprised if it went to xbox/pc with all the rumors on the Official HAZE site.

theres gonna be an awesome consecutive line up of gameage coming up. the MGO beta drops the 21st for 2 weeks. in that time GTAIV drops. GTAIV since i heard its gonna be a 100hr game (I HEARD, so not sure) plus its multiplayer, it should hold everyone over for a very long time (COD4 status) just long enuff for the release of Meta Gear [imo].

good luck FRD

10.1 - I'm with you on that

I don't know what is so great about HL2 either. I've finished almost all my ps3 games but never bothered to finish HL2!! I just got my RB6V and GRAW2 for a great deal on ebay(I know, kinda late, right?) and currently finishing them but still not going back to HL2!(luckily I got TOB as present!) btw, I'm also on the fence regarding Haze although I've played the demo built during game expo last year, but if it turns out to be great, I might pick it up!

13 - honestly

All I looking out of this game is a decent co-op experience the online multiplayer a tad until I get MGS4 and the offline splitcreen a LOT. The offline splitcreen will have my playing this game with my friends and family until Killzone or Resistance comes out if they have bots in it which I am hearing so far they have. I just hope I have enough money when it comes out because if it doesnt seem like I'll have enough for MGS4 when Haze comes out I might have to hold out on it for a while.

From the sounds of it, this game will be very interesting and I have yet to see somebody implement a good "play possum" game play so here's to hoping that this game takes us where we have never been before and is a great ride.
