Jeuxvideo reports that at the Ubisoft conference, Haze, the FPS developed in the studios of Free Radical, will be exclusive to the Playstation 3.
For the moment though, it appears that this is most likely going to be a timed exclusive. But it will be necessary to wait tomorrow more on this subject.
Concerning the play in itself, the developers showed a new trailer and explained the scenario: Mantel is a group which controls the world, the oil industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Mantel also produces a very powerful drug.
The game is due out this year.
Update If you follow the link you will also find a bad quality video of the first gameplay footage.

never heard of it? Does it look any good? and in......before the flame wars start.
Hope this helps you out : http://www.gameswank.com/co...
An exclusive only matters if it can influence a person's decision to buy a console AND there are no substitutes/alternatives with the competition.
Haze is just a shooter. They're a dime a dozen. You'll find great substitutes on the XBOX 360 and Ps3.
Now here's a real exclusive worth waring about....LITTLE BIG PLANET.

Now this will win the hearts of millions and bring alot of converts to the Ps3.
Who cares whether Haze is exclusive or not?
***
As for timed exclusives....they are going to become as normal as multiplatforming. Developers are in a win win situation getting extra cash for the exclusivity on one console then further cash with sales on the opposition's machine.
They aren't going to miss out on sales to fanboys who will never buy "THE OTHER" console. Simple business practise here.
not a that price $700. Nice try tho.
The title is "Haze en exclusivité sur Playstation 3" - which means Haze is exclusive for the PS3.
"Ubisoft a confirmé que Haze, le FPS développé dans les studios de Free Radical, sortira en exclusivité sur Playstation 3." then it goes onto say that Ubisoft confirmed that Haze....is an exclusive for the PS3.
"Pour le moment, on nous indique qu'il devrait s'agir d'une exclusivité temporaire." - for the moment, it is most likely a temporary exclusive (loose translation).
Anyway...I wouldn't say this is confirmed, even though the translation is correct. I have a feeling that they just have a PS3 playable build (which is true), but noones sure if it's an exclusive or not.
Another Halo wannabee.
not really, the graphics in this game will actually be good.
" It really matters how many bubbles you have deep?
I thought you was a person of more substance then that? one bubbles really matter? when you know for a fact bubbles aren't monitored on this site and can be voted down by gangs of fanboys at any time....come on have a lil more substance man."
The bubbles dont matter...but when you've got one you must be doing something wrong, and I think the three of them proved why that was the case. That's all I'm saying. You guys are hard to please sometimes
one bubble idiots
I thought you was a person of more substance then that? one bubbles really matter? when you know for a fact bubbles aren't monitored on this site and can be voted down by gangs of fanboys at any time....come on have a lil more substance man.
Have you seen those screenshots? This game rivals the visuals for Crysis and frankly made Halo3 look cartoony and very last Gen.
Halo isn't the end all and be all you know. With all due respect to the game because it is great, the reason it was so successful is because Xbox owners had nothing else to play until Splinter Cell came out. It was a long time between drink. Thank God I had other consoles as well to keep me busy.
PS, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Timesplitters are probably the best multiplayer shooters of all time as far as options and customisation go. Halo doesn't even do Bots. You might just like this game if it comes to Xbox or if you ever become a real gamer and buy more than one console.
Hey just because it irritates you that some people point out Halo all the time or YOU feel its over-hyped, still doesn't make your opinion a reality for many, many original xbox owners who enjoyed alot of great games besides Halo "before" SC came along. Also your theory seems flawed because if:
"the reason it was so successful is because Xbox owners had nothing else to play until Splinter Cell came out."
-Then why does it continue to be very popular among the many, many 360 owners when clearly there are SO many choices? -with Halo2 setting record sales and until recently being the top played multiplayer game other than Gears on Live, even though its a "last gen" game -amazing and now Halo3 Beta being played record amounts every 24hrs. -Damm, its not like we don't know or have never played other similiar games (which BTW we agree there are other great FPS's too) so maybe its partially because of the hype, but maybe, just maybe its MOSTLY because the majority of xbox owners think the game is alot of fun and addicting....why else would they keep coming back with so many "choices" available? Now the point is I don't go around "off topic" yelling "Halo this" or "Halo that", and in this case there would have been a better way to reply to FirstKnights silly comments IMO.
PS...I played them all Golden Eye is really very, very good....still overall Halo's (story much better) multiplayer is a bit better IMO, but of course I'm biased since I love Halo. Oh, this is about "Haze" isn't it.....well I think its a great looking game, don't know if it will be exclusive but either way I doubt it would be for very long. -We'll see.
Dude, I did say with all due respect, because the game is great. I should have worded the next part better. I shouldn't have said "the reason it was so successful", I should have said, ONE of the reasons owing to its success, because I do believe the lack of good games in Xboxes early days was a contributing factor. In all fairness to me, I didn't say it was the only reason. After all the game is great. I went and bought an xbox as soon as I saw it.
I just dont see why we need clowns like knight acting all blase about a great looking game coming out, because he can't see past his precious Halo which isn't, as I pointed out, the end all and be all.
Thats all my point was. I'm not attacking Halo. Its not my absolute favourite shooter but its still one of the best. I can remember when people used to call every FPS a "Doom clone" and it used to sh*t me as if you weren't allowed to make another game in the same genre.
And just for the record, hype does play a big part. How else could a game sell 4 million copies before anyone has even played it?
OK, once again your explanation is very sensible, -damm YOU, Bathyj have you no decency, this is N4G afterall so I expect a little profanity in your response and of course ending with the very popular =P, PWN or whatever their using these days.
My console PWNS your console anyday of the week and if I wanted to I'd OWN you and PWN everyone you know. TWICE! =P
PS. And it shouldn't be "their using these days." It should be "they're" as in they are you Artard
PPS.(Correcting grammer is very popular as well. I threw that in extra for you) ;)
You even took the time to ridicule my grammatical error....talk about going the extra mile to make a guy feel at home. You Sir, are a $%&* gentleman and a *&%$ scholar!
to this clowns. Bathyj & FeralPhoenix
let the flaming/bashing begin!!:(
This was the exclusive title they was talking about ? awsome.!
Haze looks like a great game. It could turn out to be a big exclusive title if this is true.
I played the first halo, and unlike many ppl, I didnt think it was that great.
Was decent enough fps wise, but enemies were crap, and actually looked pretty stupid.
And sorry to bust your bubble, but Half life was by far a better game, like x3 better then halo.
On the subject at hand.
Looks pretty decent. Glad to see some games are being directly written for ps3, No more ports please.
You guys seen the new footage of lair, Owns anything on the market by a wide margin.
and it turns out to be a 360 exclusive it will become the next best thing.
It's only crap b/c it's on the PS3.
Man Fanboys will never change.
Anyhoo when i saw the game i thought it looked interesting (for a shooter)
Steve oops yes!! I feel stupid now :( But yeah I loved both those games :P
This game has seen some pretty impressive first impressions
Shane (big Sony fanboy) said that there would be a surprise announcement concerning Haze very soon (might have said E3 haha).
Someone then asked if it wasn't going to be multiplatform and Shane responded by saying that isn't correct.
These guys are usually pretty reliable so chances are it will be multi but maybe a timed exclusive.
So just to recap, the Ninja Anime License and Stealth Game are 360 and the FPS is PS3, in terms of (timed or whatever) exclusives? MADNESS!
They are taking everyone's money! Money from Microsoft for Splinter Cell which is a guaranteed big seller whilst also breaking a new IP with Sony's money (if this turns out to be true, Beowulf?). Then release GRAW etc multiplatform and make huge profits on cheap incremental improvements in existing franchises.
I wouldn't be surprised if EA don't start a similar business model.
Ps. Beowulf is multi
is usually wrong 95% of the time.
Still no real exclusive! And MGS4 is lost for PS3?
...just...sad...
Mart I tell ya man, I can always count on you for a good laugh. Well time for my piece.
I finally checked this out and well....It looks pretty darn good!!!
Now I am also not foolish enough to beleive too much that comes out of the Ubisoft camp. I mean I fell for it with Assasins Creed and then they go all mutiny and give the 360 the exclusive rights to the next Splinter Cell. So quite frankly yeah, It looks like a great game (although that tint on the game reminds me of...shall I dare? ...MGS4), but I think eventually and unfortunately it will find it's way on the other console.
Any other developer and I would beleive it but since it's Ubisoft.....I'm not fallin' for it again.
and all of the sudden the game becomes "interesting" or "great" or "impressive" or "nextgen"
fvcking hypocrites
Seemed to imply that Haze was exclusive. Also, the official Haze website ONLY has the PS3 logo on it. Too bad too because I actually like the stuff that Free-Radical has done in the past.
And truth be told, the 360 does have a lot of shooters. Oh, and is anyone going to buy this around the same time that Halo 3 comes out???
360 owners won't be missing another FPS, but PS3 owners could get a great one since this is from Free-Radical.
are you out of your mind do you really think that any console fps can compete w/ halo even w/ it's sub par graphics it still has 4 mill preorders in N.A. alone how many do you think haze will have sorry buddy but saying haze will kill halo is just well kinda dumb also this is a rumour and i won't be suprised if it stays multi plat
my psm mag had an exclusive preview but it also said multi-format !
is it or isnt it !??
why are games people so f'in vague ?
dream on MARTY PANTS dream on!!!
But you never know. It's not looking good for Konami in terms of recouping expenses on the PS3. I imagine that this game was insanely expensive to make. Sony must be shelling out some heavy dough to keep that one exclusive.
The flipside to this is of course that MGS2 didn't sell for sh!t on the original Xbox, so maybe they're not sure about sales on the 360. However, I wouldn't be surprised if most games nowadays will only be timed exclusives (minus those published by Sony or MS).

wow..this looks pretty good. even thought vid quality is @$$
This game would probably just get lost in a sea of FPS's on Xbox.
Making it exclusive for PS3 isn't as dumb as it sounds. Not only are we hungry for good games and likely to buy anything thats good, but we will appreciate a good Dev (Free Radical is all the talent from Rare, by the way) showing us some genuine luvin'.
This game isn't coming out soon. If PS3 has anywhere from 5-10 million sold by then theres still plenty of potential for big sales. I think Exclusives will start to come back once each consoles userbase is out of the "Infant" stage.
Well the game is scheduled for September, and by then there will be quite a few great PS3 games (and PS3 owners). However, none of them are FPS...or even online games at all. Haze would have that market to itself on PS3. The only other PS3 shooter scheduled for 2007 that has potential to be good is Killzone. Not only will it be released later, no one knows exactly what to expect from it. Where we stand now, Haze would definitely find a lot of buyers on the PS3.
If Killzone is revealed at E3 and lives up to the hype, Haze might be in trouble. It would take a lot to persuade me into passing this game up though. Everything from gameplay, to graphics, to the developer has me wanting this game badly.
If you visit the official haze website which is here: http://hazegame.uk.ubi.com/... there's a huge playstation 3 logo but nothing else, i hadn't realised that before this has come as a total surprise to me...
Those pictures look nice, very detailed.
the dev of this game i think ( http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...
He was trying to tell u that maybe this game will be better than halo 3
or Thinks he can make better. The hard way round
But So did killzone dev try is not the word.
From what I heard Sony is giving Konami support so that the game wont go multi-platform. I dont know if it is true. But it could be. Sony would be pretty dumb to let this one slip away.
PSM has a pretty big feature on it this month. Check it out if you want all the infos.
Halo 3 will pwnd Haze,that's just the way it is.
As for being PS3 exclusive,it kind of makes sense!
Haze will sell better on the PS3(Halo 3 #1 all the way on the 360)
timed exclusives are pointless.
