Strategy Informer's Mike Bowden interviewed Derek Littlewood of Free Radical Design about its upcoming title Haze, due to be released in May exclusively for the PS3. Free Radical is known for their TimeSplitters series, first-person shooters with a cartoonish style and relaxed tone.
Mike Bowden: How much has the constant multi-format speculation affected your team? Have they been able to shield themselves from the press, or has it made things difficult at all?
Derek Littlewood: I can appreciate the frustration that many gamers have felt about the multi-format speculation, but that's just the thing – most of it has been speculation, not fact. And when that results in people getting angry at the development team, I think that's a bit unfair. But then, we equip our teams with sturdy iron pants here at FRD so they can generally weather any amount of angst. Plus they're wipe-clean, which comes in handy.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
Misleading heading. Only that he's countering the speculation not speculating.
I remember Haze... now I don't care, too many other good games.
Hopefully it will come out in May like it is supposed to (again). If not I'm confident that Free Radical is delaying it for the purpose of making it better. I mean I get irritated with delays just like everyone else but it is better than putting out a half assed effort.
2 release the game
Its after GTA and GT5 and b4 MGS
if the game is any good i might give it a try
raving xbots and fanboys were screaming for a Goldeneye remake and got angry cos Nintendo pwned them with the 10 year old N64 game.
That game must have been something cos so many people were swearing and cursing over a 10 year old game which compared to todays standards are rather meh.
Must have been the gameplay that they so wanted.
NOW THE CREATORS OF GOLDENEYE BRING US: HAZE.
AND ITS EXCLUSIVE FOR THE PS3!
Xbots: "b..bu...but...butt, Rare made goldeneye!"
When MS purchased Rare, almost everyone working for Rare left Rare. Half of them went back to work for Nintendo. The other half, including the team that made Goldeneye, formed Free Radicals Design. The company that is giving us Haze. PS3 exclusive.

Hahaha, whats the matter. Cat got your tongue?
This is why all Rare games are shiat nowadays. The people who worked on Goldeneye, Banjo, Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong are not working there anymore. They only have just graduates, aka noobs working there.
Back to the story. I cant wait to get my hands on this baby.
