Game Informer asks David Doak whether Haze's developer (Free Radical) want to "totally get out of the way of Halo 3" and the PS3 is "super pain to develop for." Doak explains why Haze is "PS3 only" and discusses Haze's release date, frame rate, and game engine. He also talks about other projects including TimeSplitters 4, new IPs, multiplayer, and plans for the Wii.
Somehow a PlayStation prototype of TimeSplitters 4 has been unearthed on eBay, and many are waiting for the package to meet its new owner.
Excited to see these prototypes out there and I hope the internet can play them.
From the leaked screenshots, it looks better than the recent cancelled Timesplitters game imo.
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.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
Some of these games were never played by or released to the public....how do we know they were ever actually good?
I have no clue if scalebound would have been any good... But the game was marketed well enough that I wish it hadn't been cancelled :/ To be fair loads of games that were good and sometimes great were "brought back" and were total disasters (Duke Nukem comes to mind for example).
By all counts the Scalebound shown at E3s was not what the actual game in development looked like. If such is true, or if the four player co-op thing, then its stronger reason why they canceled it. Why it was so long development before it was.
Having looked at the trailer for Scalebound I was appaled by the cringe-worthy voice acting although from the very limited time watching the battle scenes the game IMHO had potential.
Actually, the trailers were really boring and the demo of the gameplay was crap in performance. The desire for a good game has created a hype campaign in this game.
not bad, interview. i wonder what they are goon a do for TS4. it's already in dev which means some time next year we'll see it. it should be interesting to see it. i wonder what platform it's gonna be on
The guy on Gameinformer is nuts?
The Free Radical's Doak just say that the game isn't PS3 First, is PS3 Only. And, before the intrview, the Gameinformer guy just say the game is going to PC and X360 despite rumors...
great interview
He didnt once criticize the 360 like other PS3 exclusive developers might. Makes sense that the 360 does have alot of competition in the FPS genre. I have to disagree though about them making the game exclusive. I would think with the 360's larger install base and 360 owners tendency to buy more games (higher attach rate), especially hardcore games, that the best way for Haze to get a return on thier investment would be to go multiplatform.
What I really wish is that one of these days a 3rd party developer comes out and says the truth whether it was for a 360 or PS3 exclusive game and says "Honestly we made it exclusive because we got paid to make it exclusive" Everyone is always worrying about being politically correct.
excellent interview, cant wait till Timesplitters 4
