Joystiq hands-on: Haze

The last time Joystiq saw Haze, it was being shown off at the Leipzig Game Convention and, not too long after, the Penny Arcade expo, with both appearances garnering mixed receptions. Seven months and a long delay later, the public were finally able to get their hands on the game again at the Play.com Live event in London. With eight pods for the game set up in two groups of four, Ubisoft missed a trick by not linking them up to show off the much-anticipated co-op play. Instead, the company presented an underwhelming single-player demo which never managed to really amaze. With so much time out of the public eye and with a less-than-stellar last showing, Haze needed to impress.

"Ubisoft representative did mention that "as far as they know" the game will be PS3 exclusive"

Well, guess there isn't no point wondering anymore. It really is true.

Harry1906648d ago

had already been confirmed.
the game seems to be getting some attention.
now,let's wait for the hype machine to take
effect.

XBOX 3606648d ago

Joystiq is pretty 360 fanboy. Fact.

PSWe606648d ago

It seems that the game sounds kinda bleh. I'd like to play a demo before commiting to buying it. The timing is going to suck with MGS 4, Resistance and Killzone 2 appearing around the same time.

TheExecutive6648d ago

haze is coming out in May, a month after GTA and a month before MGS. it will come out about 4 months before resistance and KZ2.

ISA_Scum6648d ago

Who else wants to bet come the last week of April, this game gets delayed till August...maybe later?

Seriously, this mediocre wannabe killer-app isn't going to live up to the hype and probably will be pushed back again to "improve" the game. Have they ever justified one of the four delays this game has already gone through?

Danja6648d ago

it's Free Radicals 1st game on the PS3...so if it means delaying the game until they think it's perect then so be it...i'd take a delay ne day over a crappy game...

and this game is gonna kicka$$ online....

meepmoopmeep6648d ago

yeah, i'd prefer a delay over a rushed product. i've since lost a lot of interest in haze. who knows if i'll get interested again. if my 2 friends get it i will as well for the co-op play, other than that KZ2 and RfoM2 are enough for my shooter needs this year.

Leg-End6648d ago

it's not like kz2 where it's been designed ground-up for ps3...

iceice1236648d ago

7s accross the field. With a few 8s here & there from no name payed off sites( More Sony review bribes, but will only get a max of 8 for this crap game.) Why did you lemmings bother waiting b3yond for such crap? oh..I forgot you have no games, that's why! AHAHAHHA

heyheyhey6648d ago

so i can rub it in your face later

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

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 .

Game-ur2156d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2332156d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya2156d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja2156d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands2156d ago

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.

HarryMasonHerpderp2156d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx2156d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
