1UP: Haze Preview

The demo for Haze, the much-discussed, oft-delayed sci-fi first-person shooter from developer Free Radical, hit Sony's online PlayStation Store yesterday, and 1UP couldn't resist the chance to finally get a crack at it. Haze sees you commanding trooper Shane Carpenter, a soldier for Mantel Global Industries, a giant, multinational corporation out to crush the mysterious rebel group known as the Promise Hand.

Same here. The demo was good but i'm hoping the final product is even better.

Is anyone else getting the free stuff from GAME?

dude..when it comes to PS3 stuff, 1up has no idea...

not only that, but they are blatantly wrong in parts...they claim the game has no scopeless zoom or iron site options...and just watching a single video of playing as a rebel and you can see that you have the option to aim down the iron sites...

the trooper's mask have the zoom feature built into it...when you switch sides you won't have that...why does 1up get paid for shat like this?...

yes it was rather remiss of them to not know about the Ironsights later on in the game, but I don't think calling L2 the left trigger is such a big deal

Not all that accurate with the actual review. I'm wondering if they played the game? Other wise I'm gearing up to buy Haze. It's not the best experience but it's not the worst either.

6 - Want a spoiler, well heres a good guess.
You start off as an idiot thinking your fighting for a good cause in some private military group. You find out what big of an idiot you. You defect to the Rebel side to stop the evil corporation. In the end there is a stupid cliffhanger ending, just in case the game sells well and leaves the door open for a sequal as will all Ubisoft games.

7 - I'm sorry...
But after being impatient on Tuesday, I decided to download the demo from the European PS store and try the demo out. Afte playing it a couple of times, I must admit that I wasn't really impressed with it as I thought would be. To me, the game was just mediocre. I honestly feel that, with all the pushbacks and all, the game, the demo at least, would have been a little more 'likeable.' Who knows, though, maybe the game itself will be good when it's released. I hope so because I was really hoping this game would be 'awesome.' And this, my friends is an unbiased opinion.

Played the demo and it was ok. Average really. The ps3 does'nt really have any good fps's that arn't multi format ( Resistance again was ok) so was really hoping this was going to be superb. The ps3 really needs a shooter that defines it. Oh well hope fully Killzone2 will be the one.

Played the demo and I thought it was pretty fun but at the same time I thought it was a little generic, I still dont know if I will be getting it or not, i'm just going to wait for the reviews to come out. If it's higher than a 8.5 i'll get it.

If any of you have only played the demo in single player, I urge you to play co-op with a friend or two, good times.

Yeah the co-ops good fun but then i like the co-op in all games. I still might get it to play through with a friend. Don't get me wrong i think its above average and enjoyable but like the guy above said a bit generic. Its almost as though they have tried to remake Halo. It feels very similar.

I hope as HELL that they do something about the graphics in the final version cuz to be honest I was COMPLETELY disappointed with the graphics department (does the game have even 1 high res texture?) but in terms of gameplay it was pretty fun and the whole nectar mechanics plus the differences of using the helmet and not using it was interesting

16 - Looks good!
I haven't played this game but judging buy the footage and pics i've seen it looks good. I hear a lot of Xbox fandroids saying it's another fps we have enough of them it'll just be another one to add to the collection, please what better games do you have comming out in the month of May? Just another FPS, i suppose if it were on Xbox 360 it would be better than Halo 3 RIGHT! I don't think the Xbox 360 has that many 1st person shooters, Halo 3, COD 3, COD 4, Blacksite Area 51, Perfest Dark Zero, Quake 4, is that it, some of those are also PS3, i think Xbox 360 fanboys would have liked to have this game more than there letting on.
