It is kinda funny that the whole community waits for one guy to tell them what resolution a game is running at.

What does it say if it's that hard to spot!

i wanted this game since november but i knew past may this game won't sell as well

why would they release the game between the 2 biggest hits of 2008? i still play cod4 quite a bit so i don't really need another shooter

and i'm sorry but i hate when devs don't put all the effort in games... and it would seem as far as i can tell from the haze demo that the grafx could've used more work, i mean what the heck it's 570p?? i think freaking halo3 started some bullcrap that is gonna be hard to end.. that's why i don't buy ports or mediocre games..

i think as ps3 owners we can agree that we want top of the notch games, and just so you don't hate i'll tell you what i do own

Resistance FoM
Warhawk
UT3
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet and Clank (great game)
Uncharted Drakes fortune
Grand Turismo
Guitar hero and about 7 psn games

i might still check out the game in the future but sadly if a dev can't even get 720p visuals it goes a long way to show how much they really cared about putting all their effort in accomplishing the best they could've, if someone disagrees which i know some will... tell me why and maybe i'll see some light into this game

i don't think they were trying to rewrite the book on fps's. i'm sure it 's going to be a fun game with a good storyline. i think people pay too much attention to res and grafix. there is a bunch of good games coming with hi res and amazing grafix. they don't all have to be perfect. but if your not going to be perfect you had better make it fun to play and i'm sure this game nails that aspect.

besides what were you guys expecting anyways? this is free radical it's not like naughty dog made the game.

Cod 4 looks a million times better, and runs at 60 frames. Free Radical is not very good at programming.

jackdoe - 590 days 12 hours ago

That's higher than Haze, which runs at 576p at 30fps. CoD 4 runs at 600p native at 60fps (on consoles). As for why Free Radical didn't take the extra time to optimize, I have no idea. The game's geometry is basic as hell and doesn't look like it pushes any boundaries in terms of lighting or polygon counts so I have no idea why they'd only be able to run Haze at 30fps at 576p. Hell, the least they could do is add more lighting effects or post processing effects.

-edit- Again, if you disagree, comment why you disagree.

okay....perhaps...there are many big big fighting sequences and other issues. No1 knows...so dont condemn them coz you played 5 lame minutes on 1 gay stage and think you know all about the game.

COD4 is amazing..but the scale of it isnt exactly booming.So just wait and see

Edit : Also...Haze has the option to play the entire campaign split screen.

Aside from the fact COD4 lacks ANY such feature(which was the biggest let down) As soon as you play split screen vs..The graphics turn to playstation 1 graphics. So theres another issue to think about.

You know, I liked it when I read about it. Then came the demo. I admit, Oblivion and Gothic 3 kinda spoiled me when it comes to vegetation. If you can, start Oblivion at the best settings you can and go to the next tree you see. Look at the leafs. Look at screens from Gothic 3, or just stand next to a tree in-game and watch it. Now look at the Haze demo. The trees, especially the leafs (look at the palms in the beginning) look like 2D objects shaped to fit. Well, if you are assaulted by a group of enemies you won't care, but I feel this is a step back. Especially when they only had to do it for one console and had the extra time due to the delay. The overall gameplay may be solid (can't really tell from the demo) but the graphics disappointed me.

I prefer that 360 fanboys jump on Haze and ignore MGS4. Keeps the idiots away from MGS4 news which is always a positive.

ukilnme - 590 days 11 hours ago

@ jackdoe

You mean the same way the Sony Fanboys jump all over NG2, Gears 2, Too Human and any other 360 news. How about you get those idiots to do the same. I can't stand to see 360 Fanboys in PS3 news just as much as I can't stand to see PS3 Fanboys in 360 news. If you are going to call it, call it both ways or don't call it at all.

On topic though, I did not hate the demo but it did not wow me either. Maybe another delay is needed to get it right.

And they might've had trouble learning a separate graphics API for the RSX, since they have more initial experience with DirectX on the 360's GPU. Code between the two APIs is impossible to mix without huge performance deficits.

1024x576 isn't SD, SD game are 640x480, Haze is 1024x576. it's 640 vs 1024
and yes Haze use software upscale in 720p

Haze use also AAx2 (not Halo3 for exemple)

Actually, people didn't care about CoD 4 as that was multiplatform. People cared about the Halo 3 resolution though, as much as people care about the Haze resoultion.

Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report

Varsarus - 590 days 10 hours ago

Many people complained about Halo 3 resolution is because it was a first party game and they had all dev kits available, Haze is 3rd party, I doubt that Free Radical were even using the full power of RSX, the Burnout developers confirmed that in a podcast.

Sigh. Here they come. You know, I could point at the worst 360 game and ask why the 360 has crappy graphics. But to do that would be unfair and biased. Sigh. Fanboy logic. It boggles the mind and frustrates the sane.

"Why cant the Xbox 360 produce Photo-realistic graphics? Ala Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, or CGI graphics like Killzone 2?"

i would've thought the answer to that question was obvious! both games you've mentioned have both been in production for an eternity, and both run on top notch game engines! both game engines have been built and optimised effectively! and both have had shed loads of cash invested.

the game engines in question, one racing, and one fps will probably be the best of this generation. it's not proven that the 360 could'nt run those games, just that no 360 dev has crafted game engines that match those two.

they probably ran into a few problems- lets hope they know the PS3 architecture better now and utilize said experience for TS4

because if that runs at sub-HD resolutions as well, imma go medieval on their inbox

@Blade

wtf?! what are you talking about

i never said you couldn't and yes it would bother me

It could of been great advertising for owning a ps3, Yet its just a regular generic shooter...when it comes to xbox 360 I think I might even pass on this and ut3 as well...i mean...how much better can it be if the ps3 cant bring out the bells and whistles that being a exclusive title should bring to a console.

TruthBTold - 590 days 11 hours ago

I think everyone is mostly upset or pissed off because of this news and what was said by FR in the past, all the delays and excuses for them to not pull of better resolutions I mean WTF. You posted what they have been saying and now everyone expected more from the game even if its something this minor. If the game wouldn't have taken so long to come out or they would have kept their mouths shut about why it was being delayed we would have less people being upset. Its not really that its not 720p native but the fact that after everything they said everyone expected great quality in every aspect. Sure the game might look great after the final version is released but just this news seems to make FR sort of liers in a way. Hopefully the demo was an old build (I wish we could have gotten confirmation on this as well) and the hard copy will be noticeably better in many aspects. BTW I enjoyed the demo.

ROFL, if you want a game that is going to show the PS3's full potential, then you would want to think Killzone 2.

KZ2 is really pushing the FLEXiO interface of the PS3 architecture, you honestly think Haze would do that aswell?

Everyone knows the PS3 is obviously more powerful then when a developer say's they are going to max out the PS3, then it's referring to more sales.
