Yeah i saw the message and wondered.... for about 4 seconds and then really didn`t care anyway. This game will not sell systems, its good but in all honesty the only way FR are going to make money is if they Port it to the 360 as well.

For those wondering who haven`t played the game it says something along the lines of

"4-Player Co-op exclusive to PS3", basically its implying that the online is PS3 exclusive, not the game itself.

Could be anything. Could mean on 4 player split screen exclusive to PS3.

But like you said, who cares, I played the demo and that was more than enough for me. GTA will keep me going until MGS so I dont really believe my purchase would be justified from the amount of time I'd probably spend on this game.

Might pick it up at a later date or if my firends pick it up and seem to enjoy it. Frankly, Id probably complete it once and that would be that.

Still, I'm sure this is going to appeal to quite a few people, especially thanks to that co-op so give it a try before you write it off.
Its not to my taste but that doesnt mean it wont be to yours.

Could also mean there is no other 4 player co-op campaign on the PS3 at this time (not counting UT3).

BTW: Split screen is 2 player (+2 more online), not 4 way split screen.

Could be...don't really care anymore after playing the demo, Ubisoft have been very lazy with this game, the graphics are OK at best, and the physics are worse than Turok and that game was a pile of crap.

The demo was created last year, presumably when it was only a timed exclusive.

Who knows, this could be taken in many different ways.

The exclusiveness has been emphasised a lot in interviews with Free Radical though.

Whatever if the game is ported or not, Haze isn't good enough to be enjoyed of its port.

Agreed Sagria..

I was looking forward to this game until I played the Demo.

Poor graphics, the absurd 'nectar' gameplay mechanic thats been done about a million times now... and perhaps some of worst and corniest voice acting since the ps1 resident evil days.

It is a pretty solid FPS but the whole problem is that there are so many other game that are coming out or came out last year that are better. I think that is why they kept pushing it back, trying to get the timing right. Personally i think they should of shipped this game last month or in feb, after DMC4 there wasn't much so i just went back to playing COD4. I like it so I might buy it if I want to take a break from GTA IV.

Its pretty old news that its a timed exclusive. I know there has been no official announcement but...come on people. *rolls eyes*.

Anyways, the game (based on the demo) just seems average to me. Kind of like comparing a dry pancake to a delicious eggs benedict brunch. Its just not there.

7 - Well....

I still think it's a PS3 exclusive.

The Playstation Official Magazine even put a little message box in the preview that talked about the debate of it being multi-platform or not.

It says something like this: "While there has been debate on whether or not Haze is a timed-exclusive we can say taht we have confirmation from Free-radical and Ubisoft that it is, indeed, a PS3 exclusive. That's right, It's all ours."

Something to that effect and that was in the may issue.

As a 360 owner, i don't care... i don't think we were ever that hyped for this game. it was only when it went exclusive all of a sudden it became a big thing ( mostly because of the fanboy war ).....ya like its going to be a better shooter then what we already have... i don't think so !

As a PS3 owner, well i thought since it has gone exclusive i am assuming its because they are trying to push it further then they think they could do if it was multi plat, so maybe there will be more to it. the demo has now proved its nothing more then average, solid, but average ! GTA 4 and grid will more then keep me going till MGS4 comes out.

As a PS3 user I don't care either. If they'd want to do it, go ahead, port it. Won't change my PS3 experience in any way.
