I was. This vid (surprisingly) rekindled my interest. Mostly because it reminded me about the whole nectar ability. Sure hope Free Radical can pull it off and deliver a fun and interesting shooter...

The logo on the box is enough to get me existed about this. As for the graphics complaints, when has Free Radical ever pushed that boundary?

Chris--
Not anymore. Yes, MGS4 has also been delayed nearly as much and longer than HAZE, but at least it was to implement better features. I saw recent video of it here and two other gaming sites... and I just can't understand why it was delayed when it seemingly hasn't improved much over the same game I saw prior to purchasing THE ORANGE BOX(PC).

The reserved money to buy that, was used to get GTA IV instead. 'Nuff said.

Hey, the song truly isn't that bad. After listening to occasionally for the past few months I've found that it gets better. The beginning makes it sound like it's going to be an excellent song, up until "the right thing..." Then it kinda turns into a very mediocre song. Not nearly as amazing their other stuff.

I'm sure you would've jumped all over this game if:

1)It was coming out for the Wii
2)The soundtrack was by Los Tigres Del Norte

Ok, before all the hate rolls in... I love Korn, I have since '99... but let me say this... the song they wrote for Haze sucks, it's not their best and it's not even good.

I am a fan of Korn also, but that was garbage. I would like to never hear that song again. If this is the kind of quality we can expect from Korn now that they have found God, then count me out.

I'm glad Korn isn't popular anymore so that now, when people say that they hate their music, it's not like they're just trying to be contrarian...it's because they finally realized how awful they are.

And this is coming from a hater from loooong ago, when I saw them open for Biohazard and House of Pain back in 1994 or 95.

Korn had a good record and two decent ones after that, but that was about it, they certainly didn't warrant the attention and love that MTV seemed to give them.

Oh wait, they sold a ton of records, that's why MTV loved them, until they could sell no more.

Korn weren't bad, but jesus christ have they gone downhill since then. I'd love for them to bring out something that sounds good, and hat solo sounded worse than something written by Tom Morello.

So is that the only picture Haze has ever released? Joystiq loves that pic. I don't know which I've seen more...this picture or Fernando posting in a PS3 article.

I still don't undestand why the helmet is made of glass. At least the Master Chief or Samus Aran helmet looks like a high tech and solid piece.

Haze helmet has a very thin and fragil glass.

By the way... it needs more TimeShift on that helmet.

Astronauts use glass as well...

Actually, come to think of it, aside from hardcore swat materials, do any existing helmets visors protect from bullets? Do SWAT's even do that?

Just curious.

I think I prefer hydrosyphalic Magneto or motocross contestant over a Christmas Sphere look.

Heck, and if banks or cars uses bullet proff glasses, Im sure Master Chief and Samus uses a similar material: they are fighting against space creatures. But Haze helmet definitely can't stop a bullet because is so thin.

altho I do think that the helmets on Haze do look awesome (seriously, the design looks great)

Have you ever thought that the fact that the Halo and Metroid worlds are supposed to be farther in the future (hell, even in other planets) would have a lot to do with them looking a bit more "high tech"?

Nah, I just think he's looking for ANYTHING to bash this game over. Which is why I'm happily offering counterpoint.

None of the hardcore tardcore have shown up so it's just silly commenting. Like how, apparently, every male in Fire Emblem must wear a cape...

sheppy...don't even touch Fire Emblem...

and no, there are many male characters that don't wear a cape...unless you mean LEAD characters, then yes, most, if not all do wear capes, but still, unlike Superman, these dudes with or without a cape still kick ass!

I will insult Fire Emblem all I want. Because everyone knows REAL RPG teenage protagonists each a bullet before doing really cool spells and shit. And since I can't get Roy to wrap his pretty boy lips around a ballista, Fire Emblem = phail...

Bullet-proof glass, while it exists, is both very heavy (it has lead in it) and pretty thick, meaning that it would not be a viable option for headwear. Samus and Master Chief probably have some type of high-tech polycarbonate visor (or some other futuristic plastic that hasn't been invented yet). And I'm pretty sure that the majority of those two's stopping power came from shields, not the armor it self (at least for MC, I haven't played a Metroid FPS), so they very well might have glass visors as well given glasses resiliency to scratches. Additionally, it's not unreasonable to assume that Master Chief wouldn't suffer the same fate once his shields are down, since head shots then make short work of him.

Glass doesn't scratch like plastic does, hence why the iPhone's screen is made of glass. This one guy in my class dropped his iPhone on purpose in front of the class, to prove how surprisingly resistant it was.


But whether it be made in glass or any other type of material, DO NOT GET SHOT IN THE FACE.

Every male in Fire Emblem must wear a cape, otherwise the core gameplay with will severely obliterated.

As for the too thin remark, it's a game get over it, play it and for an opinon on it's gaminess.

I'll admit, i used to be a Korn fan back years ago, before Brian left the band because he "found God". But ever since he left in 2004, the band's music went from decent nu-metal (i cant believe i just said those words together) to crappy goth/pop/indie mellow stuff.

Surprisingly, the song in the video wasen't near as bad as i thought it would be. Dont get me wrong, its still bad, but i've heard much worse from them.

Oh, and Haze looks like an okay title (emphasis on the word "okay").

Gah! What genre is this supposed to be? And why does he "sing" in a comedy voice?

The gameplay looked interesting, but I closed the browser tab (gut reaction) about 25% in. Had to open it again to post a comment.

Makes the music from Warrior Within seem like a good idea.
