Haze. Me want!

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Ign.com say's it's for 360 along with ps3 but Ubisoft doesn't have a page for it. What's with that? Is it for 360 too?

It looks so pwnsome.

[PjB]

A friend who worked on it says it's PS3 only. Then again, he no longer works there so it may have changed.

[Acepilotf14]

PS3 Exclooosive.

p.s.
don't trust ign.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Well damn... Oh well it doesn't matter. It's made by Ubisoft not Sony. And it's a shooter so eventualy (by that I mean six months after realese) it will flock to the motherland for shooters. And I'll get to play it!

Ha! Take that sony. Your exclusives mean nothing in a time were developers would rather make money then depend on one system!

[Cormeh]

PS3 exclusive, but from what I've seen it looks shit. Not that I want to be confrontational about it, but I think it looks to play nearly identical (minus the nectar scenario) to a certain Xbox shooter that I'm having trouble recalling the name of.

[AiM]

^ Isn't Haze developed by the same team that made TimeSplitters? If so, history would be on their side and the game will likely kick copious amounts of ass.

Oh yes, Free Radical. :)
4 player co-op ought to kick some serious ass. May can't come soon enough.

[Bad^Hat]

As I understood it, it was originally slated for PC, 360 and PS3 but was dropped for the former two to be a Sony exclusive. However, I'm absolutely sure I read somewhere that this was only "at launch", and there may be a chance for it to come to other platforms later on.

[/talkingoutmyarse]

But seriously, it's Ubislut (yeah, that's the best I could do). What are the chances they actually manage to stay monogamous this time?

[Naph]

Lol, they put visors over everyone. I guess they didn't want to model faces too much.

[Sam]

Oh yes, Free Radical. :)

Apparently they're going to work on Timesplitters 4 after they bring Haze out.

\o/

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Yeah that has become the new lazy thing to do. But I really like the Mantel armor. It look's so cool! And I like the yellow.


re: Bad^Hat's post.
Thats what people on other forums :cough:GameFAQs:cough: fail to see. It's published be Ubisoft. Name four exclusive titles Ubisoft has made! DeBlob for the Wii thats the only one I can think of.

Even MGS4 will be ported to 360 (probably not for like four or six months). Exept for games developed by the company of the system like Nintendo, Ico/SotC etc. Theres no such thing as exclusives anymore.

Which Im happy about. I hate seeing a really awesome game that I really want to play but to do so I have to buy a 600 dollor system! WTF?! But thats just me. Im sure theres someone who like shelling out all that cash to have all systems and gets uber pissed when an exclusive fails to be exclusive.

[Rapstah]

Name four exclusive titles Ubisoft has made! DeBlob for the Wii thats the only one I can think of.

De Blob was multiplatform, I played the PC demo.

Even MGS4 will be ported to 360 (probably not for like four or six months).

That's physically impossible. I bet the game engine itself takes up five gigabytes, the game would require something like thirty DVDs to ever run on a 360.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

360 uses the HD DVD format. And they'll find a way.

[Rapstah]

360 uses the DVD format.

[Stigmata]

Good job.

[Gargantou]

I could care less about Haze, all I want is TimeSplitters 4, which I hope is going to be multiplatform, seeing as if it went exclusive to either console, it'd be ****ing over loyal fans, it doesn't matter THAT much to me since I have both a PS3 and 360, but I think making TimeSplitters PS3(Or 360) exclusive would be like Konami making MGS4 XB360 exclusive, in other words, royally ****ing over fans who helped keep the 'series' alive by buying previous games.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Oh ok I just found something that says Xbox 360 is DVD. Sorry.

[Rapstah]

I could care less about Haze

Couldn't. Care less. Every time someone does that mistake I kill a kitten.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

That's horrible! I could care less about grammar oh no! I made a mistake! No kitty run!

I think 360 and PS3 is a given for TS4. They say they're interested in doing it for the Wii too.

[smwScott]

I believe that Haze is an indefinite exclusive and TS4 will be multiplatform, even Wii. Not 100% on that but I think I remember reading it.

Haze is definitely my most wanted shooter. Free Radical is one of the most talented development teams in existence, with Timesplitters and Second Sight being some of the greatest games released last generation. I expect Haze to be of the quality that Perfect Dark 0 should have been.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Devil May Cry wasn't an exclusive. You really think a generic (but awesome looking) shooter is going to stay exclusive? I just don't see that happening at all.

[AHA-Lambda]

Even MGS4 will be ported to 360 (probably not for like four or six months).

I really doubt it. MGS 4 supposedly can't even fit on a standard blu-ray disc so it would need 3 or 4 discs to run.

[Gargantou]

I still can't see Haze as a permanent exclusive, however, I do not believe that even if it's a timed exclusive, it means it'll go the 360, I could however see it as highly likely that it will eventually recieve a PC port.

[Rapstah]

It'll have a 360 release in late 2009, with all the PS3 DLC on the disc, etc, etc. Like Lost Planet, only the other way.

[ríomhaire]

Couldn't. Care less. Every time someone does that mistake I kill a kitten.
Thank you for saving me the bother of correcting that.

Don't troll; it makes you look like an asshole.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

I really don't think I was trolling. No, I know I wasn't trolling. Sometimes people make mistakes. And if there is a rule against bad grammar then it is the mods job to correct them not yours.

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

-sigh- noobs. . .


I didn't know FR made Second Sight. . . that game owned.

and so did Timesplitters2/3

So for that i want to play Haze, but it does look kinda generic so i'm wary.

[TollBooth Willie]

Meh. Even if we don't get it on 360, we still get TimeSplitters 4. That's all I will need this year.

[Combine Hybrid]

Actually, Haze was born while they were making an early stage of TimeSplitters 4.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

It's generic, all shooters are. Halo 3 and Goldeneye the only diffrence is the setting the enemy the story the characters and the graphics. Same mechanics. To be a fan of shooters you have to look past that.

Haze is different in the way your not killing aliens or stoping time. Your pumping a type of steroid into your neck, and that makes it different enough to me to be awesome.

Plus have you seen the armor? Pure win.

http://www.bit-tech.net/content_images/2007/05/ubidays_2007/HB8.jpg

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

It's generic, all shooters are. Halo 3 and Goldeneye the only diffrence is the setting the enemy the story the characters and the graphics.

. . . . Um. . . that's a pretty big difference, and there's more than that to shooters, there's pace and combat style and realism. I could list more but it's beside the point.

and the armor is cool. but it looks just like every other sci-fi/spacemarine/futuresoldier guy i've seen before. imo.

[Warbie]

Did someone just call Golden Eye generic? :eek:

[BHC]

De Blob was multiplatform, I played the PC demo.



That's physically impossible. I bet the game engine itself takes up five gigabytes, the game would require something like thirty DVDs to ever run on a 360.

Not to mention the entire game is uncompressed 7.1 sound and 1080p. It's really insane.

[Stigmata]

Not to mention the entire game is uncompressed 7.1 sound and 1080p. It's really insane.

Both of those statistics are meaningless, unless a huge portion of the game is FMV. You can have all the "uncompressed" 7.1 audio and 1080p video you want in your game, because in the end it's really just a bunch of textures being rendered onto a screen and a bunch of single-channel .wav files being mixed through your speakers.

[Fliko]

I really doubt it. MGS 4 supposedly can't even fit on a standard blu-ray disc so it would need 3 or 4 discs to run.

Stuff can be scaled down, and remember; they like to recopy all the textures over a few times to make loading times faster, I can't remember what the technique is called but it's famous for being used on PS3 because the loading times suck.

[Sam]

Meh. Even if we don't get it on 360, we still get TimeSplitters 4. That's all I will need this year.

I don't think TS4 will be out this year, I want it too ;(

Mmm. Yeah theres a little more to shooters. But still the same basic principle.

And in the armors defence it's yellow.... thats a huge diffrence. :)

[Stigmata]

The only difference between Super Mario World and Half-Life 2 is the story, the graphics, the genre, the gameplay, and the third dimension.

[Shoes_Buttback03]

I get the joke I just don't think it's fuuny.

[Rapstah]

I'm not the most reliable source for this, but I think they're expecting a 2009 release.

[Gargantou]

Are you talking about texture size or something?

Anyway, only MORONIC people don't make use of compression for their sound files, honestly there are compressionmethods these days where you loose VERY little quality, but the size is reduced greatly..

Anyway, we all know how Kojima LOVES to 'hype' up his games :)

TBH, once we manage to crack PS3 discs etc to access the content, I wouldn't be surprised if MGS4 had a shitload of useless files poured in to make the game 'appear' to be maxing a Blu-Ray disc..

[jimbo118]

Most of the vids I saw looked kinda meh, particularly one which involved an office/apartment area with virtually zero detail but this was a pretty old vid. Haven't seen anything of it in ages yet.

[Gargantou]

Considering the fact that they're cutting down on their original features (e.g. Japanese VO's with subs), I highly doubt this is the case...Yeah but that's about VOICEOVERS, if you noticed the guy I quoted he said uncompressed audio and uncompressed "1080p", no idea what uncompressed 1080progressive means though..:)

[smwScott]

Yeah but that's about VOICEOVERS, if you noticed the guy I quoted he said uncompressed audio and uncompressed "1080p", no idea what uncompressed 1080progressive means though..:)

He was probably referring to uncompressed high resolution art assets. I don't know that this is true, but it makes sense as it would probably fill up even a BR disc pretty quickly. I assume there are technical benefits to doing this otherwise they wouldn't...

I'm sure you could've figured this out too, but you chose to intentionally misunderstand the guy in order to try and make a point.

[Gargantou]

The only thing that I could realistically see make MGS4 fill up a Blu-Ray is uncompressed audio, lets face it over 50% of MGS is cutscenes, codec convos etc.

[Asuka]

Haze is going to kickass! Hopefully. PS3 is going to kick everyones ass.

Both of the High up sony executives have quit! What does that tell you? Everything is fine? No, at best the PS3 will be this years Gamecube and next gen it will be better but I really don't see hope for it. Which is sad because I have a PS2 and like it.

Whats games are coming out for 360? Now look at the PS3 and tell me its losing...LOL

[Shoes_Buttback03]

I just looked. All the games for 360 are coming out on PS3... Exept Universe at War: Earth Assault. And that will be ported to PS3 after a while. And Haze will be ported to 360. So each system has the same line up... You case isn't looking that strong one who has fallen to the PS3 dark side.

Really the only difference for keeping the PS3 from winning is price.

Umm... you're making broad assumptions here. A lot of the third party titles are multi-platform (with a few notable exceptions like MGS, FF, etc.) But each platform has their own respective privately owned (or subcontracted) studios that won't make games for another system. To say that "all games for 360 are coming out on ps3" is foolish. Would Halo ever leave the Xbox / PC format? Why would God of War 3 jump ship?

You're also oversimplifying things by blaming solely the price. There are a lot of other factors at work here but it's not reasonable to go through them all.

[Combine Hybrid]

It appears that Free Radical and GameStop are mighty confident in HAZE, that they are even allowing gamers to buy the game from GameStop/EB Games and you have a full week to return it and receive a FULL refund (in-store credit) if you don't like it.

I have to say, Free Radical albeit may not have a hype marketing machine running right now, but to place your product out like that they must be damn confident.

Anything above 256kbps for game audio is stupid and a waste of space. The human ear simply cannot differentiate between a 320kbps and 256kbps mp3. However for backups and making 1:1 copies of music CDs I wouldn't look past FLAC.

You talk as if that's a bad thing. I've always enjoyed the MGS cut-scenes, just as much as actually playing it. Hollywood should take lessons from Kojima. I must not be the only one either, considering two of Sony's most popular franchises are Metal Gear and Final Fantasy, both topping the charts for the most anticipated PS3 games. I'm sure a lot of 360 owners would love to see ports of either game as well.

[Gargantou]

They're decent but some of the conversations are unnecessarily drawn out and fairly poorly written..

I mean, I'm a huge MGS fan as people who know me knows, I bought a PS3 only to get MGS4, but lets face it, Kojima isn't exactly great at writing good conversations.:)

[Sedako]

Remember that it's all translated from Japanese, so it's not that he's bad at "writing good conversations", but everything needs reordered to make it coherent. That being said, I've never had a problem with any of the dialogue. Sure, it may at times be confusing, but not so much as to blur the entire plot of the games. I find it is usually more clear on the second play through, just as with some movies, books, or other games.

[Gargantou]

Do you have any proof that the quality of his written convos are greatly reduced in English?

I reckon with the money Konami has they'd atleast be able to afford a decent translator..

I found both Killzone 1 and Resistance 1 to be fairly average games.. So hardly excited for their sequels.. And I can't stand JRPGs these days which means Final Fantasy is off from my list.

I can't comment on whether the actual conversations in Japanese are better than the English counterparts, but suffice to say, translating an Asian language into English is really quite hard. Certain phrases and whatnot cannot be literally translated and often requires you to completely re-phrase it in order to get a similar point across. This problem is greatly magnified when it comes to everyday conversations since there are many many phrases and words that simply must replaced entirely.

[Warbie]

I was excited about Haze untill seeing gameplay footage. Now i'm not so bothered - it looks like it's been beaten repeatedly with the generic stick.

[Sedako]

There has been absolutely no confirmation of this anywhere since Ubisoft announced that it will be a PS3 exclusive back in August.

And seriously, no one likes a fanboy, except other fanboys. All 3 systems have their pros and cons, and arguing about which system is better is pointless and makes you seem highly immature. If I had the money, I would own all 3 systems and reap the benefits.

Same here. But Killzone 2 looks crazy never played Killzone 1. Resistance was fun coop so i will be playing the 2nd.

I just think their are way more heavy hitters on PS3 this year.

It's coming for 360 just as much as Left 4 Dead is coming for PS3.

Well said.

[Gargantou]

Considering EA is distributing the retail version off L4D, Valve own the guys who are developing it, Orange Box came out for the PS3, it's far from impossible for L4D to get a PS3 port eventually.

Also, I thought Killzone 1 looked great, but once it came out, it had a ton of graphical and sound glitches ingame, and whilst the story was pretty good, the actual GAMEPLAY in single-player was the definition of average imo.

Action games and platformers are ok if you don't speak the language. I wouldn't attempt an rpg.

Is anyone else bothered by how little Hazes gameplay looks like TimeSplitters (and therefore Golden Eye)? It looks like a mediocre run and gun.

I just said I was kidding :)

Also yeah Haze just looks very meh to me

Well, region free is great and all, but it doesn't really magically localize the game into English :)
Yes, but ideally all the space of the Blu-ray disc will be plenty for multiple language tracks. That is my hope at least....
