PS3 nabs Haze, likely a timed exclusive

That's all right, the white box crowd will be too busy playing Halo, bioshock, mass effect and half-life 2: orange.

Uhh, not true. September 25 also has us playing as a genetically enhanced super soldier.

Isn't Master Chief a genetically enhanced super soldier?


In all likelihood, a better one than the guy from Haze. Looks good though, I just can't stand Sony remotes for FPS, the left joystick has to be in the primary position or it sucks. I'll wait for the 360 release.

Timed exclusives are a stupid idea and gamers lose.

Was gonna purchase but I think I will pass now. This is gonna end up like FEAR where PS3 gamers got some crap port almost a year later but still got the pleasure of paying $60.

Who cares... ?

We've got:
Halo 3
GTA:IV
BioShock
Half Life 2: Orange Box
Colin McRae DiRt
Mass Effect
Shadowrun
etc etc

Fuck the PS3 and Haze

That's pretty crap, but it is true that there will be plenty of better games to be playing this year.

I wonder if Sony paid them off for a timed exclusive? Wasn't the 360 version already in the works?

@ 2 and 3
well from what i see (and hope) X3F was being sarcastic at the end.

I thought Master Chief was just mechanically enhanced? I didn't read the books or anything... is that where you guys are getting the genetically enhanced thing from?

And yeah, already quite busy between sept and 2008 anyway... I can wait until then for new Free Radical goodness.

screw this, boycott this game when it comes to 360! ubisoft thinks they can manhandle us? DEATH TO 'EM! It's not the fact that its an exclusive (or timed, w.e) that bothers me, its the fact that they stated this game was coming to ps3, 360, and pc, and then decided, hey lets screw people by not giving it to them right away, go die ubisoft! I hope this game tanks now

"well from what i see (and hope) X3F was being sarcastic at the end."

And circle gets the square!

Yeah, I was joking. And yes, Master Chief (and all Spartans) is genetically enhanced. At any rate, he's given all kinds of drugs and whatnot to enhance his performance. The books, especially the first and third, are excellent sci-fi. I recommend them.

I don't care I got a PS3, 360, and a Wii. I also have a great job that will allow me to purchase games for all systems. So, cry fanboys and talk you shizzz. I'm a gamer and all I care about is good games! No matter what system it's out for. I think some people that bash the PS3 are probably upset that they can't afford it. And for those that are going to attack my post. It doesn't matter what you say, cause I'm still rich....lol...lol!!

Enon777, if your so rich, can't you buy something better to do than commenting on websites? Coz I sure can't!

I was going to buy Haze but I think now I'll pass; I can't play a shooter with missplaced analogue sticks!

Im with Enon777...

Wow, the subtle parting shots in posts are never lost on this crowd, are they?

@9
Ubi soft isnt a part of this game man.
But yes I say teach the bitches a lesson and boycott it and fuck there sales. First they insult Halo and now the game is a ps3 timed exclusive?
@5
Yes Fuck the ps3 and Fuck Haze

With the recent coverage, I've been reasonably excited for this game.

And then on the other hand, I keep wondering, "And how in the world is the gameplay any different than Far Cry and it's feral powers?"

It makes a lot of sense.

360 players will have a ton of great FPS's in the fall, whilst PS3 players will not be as fortunate. It makes sense to realease it in the PS3 by the fall so the PS3 people will eat it up because there is not much else to play. while 360 owners will pick it up in the spring when the other games have slowed down.

I don't think its such a bad thing

@andres 360

finally someone that isn't an asshole with a sensible post. Every single comment on here annoyed the hell out of me. We had hypocritical bastards cussing out ubisoft, haze, and the ps3 even though if this blog was about haze being an xbox 360 exclusive they'd be praising haze and ubisoft, and making fun of the ps3 for getting screwed. Then we had idiots claiming to be rich and they can get whatever they want.. Why do people do that? Who's going to read that and actually give a shit about you being rich?
That being said, I agree with andres, it would be smart to postpone the release for the 360 until there aren't a bunch of other games coming out that'll trump Haze in the sales department. It's kinda like releasing a movie on the same weekend that spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean, or any other guaranteed hit movie is released. How often do you see a movie that came out on the same weekend as one of those movies coming back in a subsequent weekend and taking the number one spot, regardless of how good it is? Never, it just doesn't happen, after the first weekend, its just going to keep going down. And thats what will happen to haze. If no one buys it during the release frame, then chances are they wont buy it later. So they might as well release it when people actually want to buy a new game. Afterall, they can't just assume everyone is as rich as Enon777...

Ubisoft said there has been no announced exclusivity, so we should believe them.

Both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the games will likely be released at the same time.

Think about Ubisoft said similar things about Assassins Creed, but we now know that Assassins Creed will be released simultaneously on both systems, but the Xbox 360 version will have better artificial intelligence and include rumble features not included in the PS3 version.

And think about Unreal Tournament 2007, now called Unreal Tournament 3. When it was called Unreal Tournament 2007 they wouldn't mention an Xbox 360 version; they only mentioned PC and PS3. When the game was renamed Unreal Tournament 3, we found out it would be released FIRST on Xbox 360 and PC, and last on PS3.

So, I think there is a great chance this is nothing to be concerned about. This will be on Xbox 360 soon enough.

If the game is good you will not boycott it. Don't start that crap that Sony fans were doing too, like that petition for DMC4 to be exclusive. It used to be about the gamessssss yo

Great post andres 360 and elmersglue! I was thinking the same thing. Although it would be pretty sweet to get Haze at the same time for the 360, it makes strategic sense to hold off. Too many great titles are coming out in the fall for the 360. Of the great games coming out one stands above all of them--Halo 3. Regardless of what system your a fanboy of you know there isn't a title out there that can compete with Halo. Remember what happened to Call of Duty 3: It was released the same week as Gears of War, COD3 was ignored...it never recovered. So if the producers of Haze decide it makes more sense to wait, fine, just hope they don't make us wait too long!

@11, 13, 18 - Maybe there is a reason this place is called Xbox360fanboy?? If you want some dispassionate responses goto Joystiq!

PS: Enon just because I can afford something doesn't mean I will buy it for the hell of it! The PS3 ain't worth the box it comes in..

Right now 4 me it's about Sony dieing, dieing out of the console industry. And any company that gives that broken system a hand can die with them. Even if I was a richy Bitch like some I wouldnt by one. This is a console war and I want Microsoft to win it. Gamers like Enon that support both sides are only prolonging the battle. But mark my words, no matter what any of you have to say Sony will fail.

I knew as soon as I saw that this article was pertaining to the PS3, that the majority of the comments here would be from people saying "fuck the ps3"

@Joel Brown, the ps3 and 360 versions of assassins creed have identical artificial intelligence/crowd ai ect.

PS3 Exlusive? For only 7 days. PS3 release date Nov 23. Xbox360/PC Nov 30. LOL
