The name chosen for developer Free Radical's oft-delayed FPS Haze has become something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. While we were almost ready to get excited for the game to make its retail debut sometime before April, publisher Ubisoft broke news (and gamers' hearts) today by once more pushing the game out until an unspecified time during the coming 2008-09 fiscal year (read: after April).
The game's release date has become something of a running gag in certain circles, with Haze originally expected for the holidays before being brushed aside for what we were told was a final bit of spit polish. It would seem, however, from this latest news that Haze was in fact more sullied than previously believed. If there is one ray of sunshine to cast on this gloom it's that the delay has caused Ubisoft to raise its guidance for coming fiscal year to €1 billion (or nearly $1.5 billion in Earth currency) up from the €975 million previously forecast – though we're doubtful that Ubi's financial wherewithal will comfort those of you who have been told once again to wait your turn.

Argh! Just release it for 360 already! They're never going to make money off it at this rate.

Uhh... you're disappointed because of the lack of an FPS? Warhawk, Resistance, UT3? COD4 and Team Fortress 2? You might already have them on 360, but if not, throw that in there too. How many FPS games do you really need?? That's 5 right there, all of them really good.

They keep this up and the game will get slaughtered on its own Platform. Like anybody's going to want Haze when Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are out.

At this point, is any one still excited about this game? I still have not seen anything that'll make people who already are playing CoD4 or Halo give a crap about this title.
