Dev responds to IGN's Haze review - "MEGAowch"

With early reviews for Haze looking good (Famitsu 34/40 and Italian PSM 9/10), it came as a bit of a shock when IGN bestowed a dreaded 4.5/10 on the game in their review this morning. In curiosity, PSU.com contacted Rob Yescombe of Free Radical to hear what he had to say.

"My thoughts are "Owch". No, wait - MEGAowch," wrote Yescombe. "Haze has had mixed reviews, but even GoldenEye got a 4/10 when it first came out. With a 9/10 in the Italian PSM, and an extremely positive review in Famitsu, we're looking forward to people playing Haze and making a judgment for themselves."

According to IGN, Haze suffered from "a bland story with weak characters... [and] tons of visual issues, from texture tears and non-descript environments to pop-in and odd animation problems."

This comes as a surprise to us because back in March, PSU was given hands on with a near final build of the game and we thought the title looked fairly good. The graphics in particular looked crisp and the framerate was smooth.

1.5 - ^^^^ from reality?

You don't think that reviewers compare games against others in the same genre? They compare games in different genres on different platforms (consoles). I'm not saying this is what IGN did or is doing but to mock the possibility since it happens all the time only makes me say to you.... "where do you get your theories from?"

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what vojkan or the developer said. Is it possible for people on here to give their opinion without someone like you slinging ignorant remarks at them?

"piss off?" Maybe you should take your own advice.

Wow...that's sad IGN. How can you give Blacksite Area 51 a 6.2, and Haze a 4.5? Is it really that bad? According to IGN, Haze ranks right there with Conflict: Denied Ops which got a 4/10.

I think there is something mischievous going on here.

I think yeah, the game isn't ALL THAT good, but there is no chance ever that it deserves a 4,5, not from IGN. I think the reviewer was disappointed with the game and therefore put a low score on it just to prove that the game is a disappointment. BUt a reviewer shouldn't do this, and even then, 4,5 is waaay too low.

Actually .. I have no clue how this game got a 4,5. It's just way off. I thought the demo was quite fun ...

Guys, instead of b!tching about how everyone hates Sony why don't you buy the game and judge for yourselves. Seems to me its a love or hate game. I didn't like the demo very much, but from the comments on this site a lot of people did, so just buy the game, or rent it at the least.

I wouldn't say it is damage control. My problem with IGN isn't the review, but rather the previews. Go back and look at IGN's recent 3 previews. See anything but signs of people having fun? See anyone mention an annoying issue?

If a game is a 4.5 and the issues are that prominent then they ought to show up in a preview somewhere...someplace.

2.3 - yeah

nobody expected it to be AAA class but definitely not 4.5!! even Kane&Lynch, blacksite, denied ops, turning point and even soldier of fortune got better reviews while being mediocre!! so, what makes HAZE different even if it is indeed that bad? why a 4.5? it's simple, HAZE is PS3 exclusive!

they gave 10 for GTAIV graphic and sound, yet HAZE only got half of that! so much of a review from a site which had given higher scores for RB6V, GRAW2 and Lost Planet on 360 but lower scores for the damn f**king same games on PS3 later on! GRAW2 had extra features and Lost Planet came with all the extras on PS3 but as they HATE PS3 so much, they lowered the scores!!

I totally lost faith in IGN when they gave 10 for GTAIV! don't even ask about GS. I've never been to that site after Kane&Lynch! I'll stick to OPM and PMU from now on. screw IGN!!

The miserable 360 fans at gametrailers putting out bogus 'comparison' videos

Jeff Haynes at IGN
GameSpot
EGM
1Up
Eurogamer

all doing their best to trash PS3 exclusives to try to keep the review averages below 90.

All that effort by the Xbox fans who have managed to hijack so much of the legitimate gaming press and it hasn't done a single thing to help the 360 sell any better than last gen or keep gamers from making the natural leap from the PS2 to the PS3.

Than why is the PS2 selling better than the PS3's??? An Xbox 360 is a better choice for some people (like me), while the playstation is for others.

So what if Haze is crap, it not like its the make-or-break game for the PS3. and the Xbox has had its fair share of crap-ware, like Halo 3. (I loved the first two and read the novels twice through, i know what halo is all about and Halo 3 did nothing to excite me)

Also it's not just the really crappy review, I knew something was up when there were really no reviews before this one. I mean this is a pretty hyped release and there were no reviews 4 days prior to it's release, that raised some red flags for me.

That's probably because Mass Effect is one of the best RPG's ever made.

If the issues affected the overall gameplay it wouldn't earn over 80 awards and a 91% avg at gamerankings and metacritic.

I'm not blaming you though, if you don't like IGN just wait for other reviews and see what they have to say about it.

If you think the Mass Effect elevator simulator with it's dead lifeless planets is a great RPG then you haven't played any great ones at all. Seriously, that upchuck mobile is fun? Those planets that are like burned out cinders with one small little building entrance on the surface are part of a great RPG?

Are you saying the fact that most characters in the game do not even acknowledge you exist is the mark of a great RPG? The game deserved a 6 at most.

You need to try some recent great RPGs like The Witcher. I can't have a conversation of depth with everyone in the game but at least they know I exist. The environments are incredbly lush and rich. And no one had to create another word for The Force in order to give the central character other worldly power.

And the poster above is correct. Items they used to damn other games, items such as framrate, were given a free pass in Mass Effect and not even mentioned.

Maybe when you guys could review the games instead, and give all PS3 titles 10/10 and all 360 titles 0/10.

Here's what your review of Mass Effect would look like:

----------------------------- --------------------------

Review - Mass Effect(Xbox 3FixMe)

Graphics - 0/10
Gameplay - Who cares?
Story - Who cares?
Controls - Who cares?
Replayability - Who cares?

whats the point?

Mass effect will be coming to PS3 since EA doesnt make multiplat games and EA makes most of their money from selling SW on PS3 , thanks to high amount of PS3 SW sales in europe

Mass effect was a boring overrrated CRAP just like GTA4/HALO3 and BIOSHOCK

The only true NEXT GEN game is MGS4 --which will be unleashed on 12th June.

Dont worry MGS4 will be getting 10s all around the board. MGS4 will score better than GTA4 if not equal

It was that bad. It doesn't have as good graphics as COD 4, but it still isn't bad. I think this title still is entitled to at least a rental to the normal PS3 owner role. It may not be as good as Call of Duty 4, but it ain't as bad as all the other crap that has as been as prevalent as in the other consoles. Give it a chance, and don't judge it so soon.

anyway i love how the bots can do nothing but bring up lair. which is pretty much the only exclusive we have that flopped. and it was pretty much just because of the sixaxis. that game looked better than pretty much all the 360 titles.

so we have one exclusive flop. how many do you guys have. what ever, who cares it's pointless.

i downloaded the demo and i think the game deserves that score or even lower. If the final build is like the demo, then theres no need to waste time on money on this product. ill replay uncharted again and im sure ill have more fun.

if this game deserver lower than 4, than what deserves halo3 ? lol, -10! the point is not whether you like the game or not, the reviewers must stay objective. how can get halo3 a 10 and haze, which look and plays very similar gets a 4? lol. ubisoft should send some nice money to the reviewers, like ms did.

lol true say i havent brought myself to play halo3 yet anyways cos im not really a FPS guy. unless an FPS has a very very good story i wont play it. im more into fighting games and adventure. but i know a terrible game when i see one. and haze was awful beyond belief. they should hurry up with the xbox360 version and stop telling lies that it doesnt exist.

The thing is, Halo 3 and Haze play almost indentically.

Halo 3 was already a bit stale at time of released 7 or whatever months ago.

While Halo 3 was rated too highly, it also wasn't completely outdated like Haze is. If Haze had been relesed when it was supposed to have been released, 8 or higher, but they waited too long, better FPS games came along and they ultimately payed the price of making a generic game in a stale market.

12.1 - PS3 has a better exclusive list

Resistance/Uncharted/Warahwk/H S/Motorstorm/NGS/FOLKLORE/RATCH ET

are better than Bioshock/Mass effect and Gears (overrated games also on PC)

wait Bioshock and Mass effect are coming to PS3 too. so x360 has no games except halo3 at 640p

13.2 - @RAF

Have you ever played Lair?

It is actually a pretty decent game. Some people had problems with the controls. I also did have problems but got used to it. Now, with the patch, I replayed it with the sticks and had a really nice time.

So yeah, Lair has cool graphics, it is pretty innovative and its fun.
Don't really get you.

I am not saying it is the best game ever though... it is a 7 - 8 /10 in my book. But I am pretty harsh on my games. heh

13.3 - @raf-tech Two-worlds and Hour of voctory were x360 exclusive

Both those games got 2/10 from Gamespot and Gamespy respectively

OMGGG what a shame?
Lair is much better than Crappy Dragon/Flop odyssey

14 - IGN Reviewers are used to microsoft filling their pockets

If you want a review to go right with ign. You gotta give them free 80 gig ps3's. Then you gotta give them free accesories. You also have to give them a instruction booklet on how to turn on & use the ps3.
You gotta smoke a joint with them & take them out to dinner. you have to buy them hookers. Before Sony puts a game out, they gotta call the reviewer's & catch up & find out how they are doing in their personal lives. Then you have to offer them help in case they needed anything. You have to read them stories so they fall asleep & tell them everything is gonna be alright. You gotta tell them you care about what they think.
You gotta let them know that if anything was wrong with your console not to call support but to have them call your cell phone & they will send you another console in 2 hours. Dont worry!

Then a ps3 game will get mass effect & Halo 3 reviews!

P.S. Most reviews come from guys who have no clue about whats cool for you & me. Reviewers are old perverts who dont know how to have fun in a video game anyways. Most reviewers dont make any real money & corruption is very easy in a video game reviewer's chair.
Corruption can be found at the top of political affairs & journalism.
What make a reviewer any different? If I made a game & I Knew a reviewer would make or break my game. i would throw some money at the problem. They are a bunch of rat bastards anyways!
