Haze delay "has made a big difference"

Free Radical offers brief update on its PS3 shooter
Free Radical has assured PS3 owners that the delays slapped on its platform-exclusive FPS Haze have meant the game is far better as a result. But it's bound to say that isn't it?

"While we can't explicitly say what improvements we've made (I'd love to tell you all the cool stuff we've been putting in!... but I also love my job too...)", a Free Radical staffer teased on Ubisoft forums, "I can guarantee you that the extra bit of time has made a big difference for the better".

Well, thank goodness for that. We were beginning to wonder...

The spokesperson goes on to say the team understands the frustration gamers have been experiencing thanks to the topsy-turvy release date, "but we just want to make sure things are right for the people who'll be playing Haze *very* soon".

"...maybe once Haze is sat toasting away in your PS3s we'll be able to do some post mortem video's/articles for you lot, and explain what's gone in and what improved with the bit of extra time we had", they add.

I hope for anyone interested in getting it that they increased the framerate

I wondered what had happened to this game, all had been quiet for a while now.

Anyway, while I don't have a PS3, I'm interested as to what the quality of this game will turn out like - exclusives will become increasingly rarer (especially in the next gen I imagine), so the exclusives this gen could be the last of a rare kind!
level_up on 18 Feb '08
So are cv&g def saying its a PS3 exclusive and not a timed one?

If so Ill get it on PS3 instead of waiting for it on 360

Up until about a month ago this was my most anticipated PS3 game. Ive now gone past caring.
Maybe when its released it will get some good reviews & my interest will peak again

Looks p*ss poor from what I have seen. I also have heard about the poor frame rate, but looking at the graphics, its hard to see why the PS3 is brakeing a sweat displaying this bland Halo wannabe! Confused

Roll on Killzone 2

Well i was looking forward to this game - sadly i have lost interest in the game now - Now Crysis that is the game to play!! forget your 360 and PS3 for a couple of months (mine have had there standby light on for a while now, accept PS3 Tekken Online Rulez!) and upgrade your PC's because this is one mint game!

Halo wannabe? Only thing that the 2 have in common is its a FPS?!?! In that case then i can say "Go on Halo you Doom bland wannabe?" Also Frame Rate? isnt Halo like the SLOWESSSSSSSST FPS everyone has ever played?
sbolton666 on 18 Feb '08
Im not that interested in this TBH, may be worth a rent but theres bigger and better stuff arriving soon for the 360/ps3 that i want more.
DAEDALUS79 on 18 Feb '08
im actually quite looking forward to this game, KZ2 i really couldnt care less about, im sure the framerate issues will be ironed out b4 release....

I beg to differ. Drop ships with buggys dropping off the back! Quad bikes!! Also, do you know what frame rate means? Halo may be slow, but its not jerky.

I'd quite like to know that myself as I remember when it was first previewed ages ago in both Games TM and Edge the preview code was on 360.

Seems like a massive waste of time and resources getting a 360 build up to speed for the first demos if it's not heading that way eventually.

Wow they really went all out in adding QUAD bikes and buggys DROPPING off ships! OMG Warner Bro's eat your heart out!!! Haaaaaaaa

Ah sorry may have got my view on FPS wrong there then! Still i a slow as hell game, that was wayyy over hyped never felt so much disapointment
sbolton666 on 18 Feb '08
Free Radical themselves have said Haze is coming exclusively to the ps3 - not timed.

Don't understand the hype aroudn killzone; neither version so far has been any good so why expect kz2 to be any better.

All the footage I've seen of haze (as well as plot and features) out does anything currently available. Been waiting for this for a while
jimmygoogle on 18 Feb '08
I was really looking forward to this game before Christmas. The hype though i think has died down a little, with Killzone 2 on the horizon (i like the look of it anyway), and, more importantly, Unreal Tournament III booking up my PS3.

Saying that i'll still get it.
almanac2015 on 18 Feb '08
The official line from:

Publisher Ubisoft = PS3 exclusive

The developer has told us though that it's in the works for 360 too. Whether it still is remains to be seen...
CVG Gav on 18 Feb '08
I'm no PS3 fan but...GO FREE RADICAL, I STILL BELIEVE!
Biggwedge on 18 Feb '08
Sounded interesting until I saw how pathetic this game looked and no I am not just talking about the graphics. It just looks really poor in my view, not interested.
bazzatuk on 18 Feb '08
i have faith in frd but i will wait for more info or a preview code before considering this one, last year it was at the top of my list but now...

personaly i cant wait for timesplitters 4 a game i am getting very excited about Laughing

Unreal T3 is a mint game, purely an online game though! Im waiting for Tekken 6 myself! Driving me CrAzY!
sbolton666 on 19 Feb '08
Let's hope they were right. Even if Haze won't be all that jazz, they've always got Timesplitters 4 on the horizon. Oh yes oh yes.
