Haze : The official game thread

[pipo]

The teaser trailer looks interesting (a bit Army of Two-ish?)...

http://www.playsyde.com/news_4379_en.html

It looks a lot different than the old screens though.

Sony doesn't like to take chances on the FPS front it seems.

ETA anyone?

Isn't it only a timed exclusive, and may even slip from that?

It was announced for PC and 360 too, but now it's only PS3...

Probably Sony liked what they saw and bought another FPS. IMHO.

I think it's fairly clear what's happening. The PS3 was the lead platform, probably the furthest along, and Halo3 is coming out on 360 this Fall also. Might make sense to delay the 360 release, call it a PS3 exclusive in the meantime, and then announce the 360 release for sometime early next year probably. Ubi-soft knows more than most the power of marking a game 'exclusive' in terms of attention, and in this case it probably gels nicely with their strategic goal of "not being completely ignored on the 360 in favour of Halo3"

it was announced to be multiplat, but the official site only shows a PlayStation 3 logo and there are rumors all over the net that its a ps3 exclusive now. nothing has been confirmed yet, though.

Ubisoft says they are working on a ps3 exclusive, but didn't give the name.

If you had clicked my link, you would have seen Blim got confirmation.

Hahaha...the developers themselves don't seem to be in the loop with Ubi's apparent plans, as they said in an interview today with Jeux France that Haze will be on PS3/360/PC:

If Ubi is to market it as a (timed) exclusive, they may want to make sure their developers are up to speed!

Who knows what's going on!?

 

[djskribbles]

i think Titanio is right and that they're delaying it on the 360 because of Halo 3.

The bolded part is all that needs to be true for Haze to be PS3 exclusive this year. Ubi is not dumb.

Someone should tell the folks at IGN as well. This is an article on their site from yesterday.

[Rockster]

A bit off topic, but has anyone seen a site or list which compiles 3rd party exclusives for each platform; wii, ps3, and 360?

 

[jonnyp]

Looks really good to me! I'm not a fan of Timesplitters but this one seems a lot more interesting indeed.

Assassin's Creed redux?

This game looks pretty good, can't wait to see more of it.

 

[Sindre]

As I've played all the TimeSplitter's to death, especially regarding multiplayer, I'm very eager to see what Free Radical can come up with this time
