Haze devs talk about Miyamoto's reactions

In a talk with Free Radical Design, Kotaku was able to find out what developers Rob Yescombe and Derek Littlewood thought of Nintendo boss Shigeru Miyamoto's reaction to their Sony PlayStation 3 project Haze, along with some statements regarding the Wii game console.

I don't find that if people are gonna approach it that way, that they should single Haze out. There are other games with injecting yourself involved such as BioShock, MGS4 (I'm refering to the drug he takes in the trailers shown which I guess keeps him alive), Killzone: Liberation. When I heard Free Radical call their drug Nectar, I was pretty amused. Although a little wierd, it is very clever.

this is a duplicate, the only difference is that the same info is on a different page.

but then again i think shigi only stated his opinion but never disapproved it, heck even manhunt is wrong but you didn't see him protest to it, the only thing protesting was the policy of Nintendo as a company.

come on people he loves mushrooms!

seems like their trying to spoon feed us this game...kinda like a kid not wanting to be left out of the big man's game...well haze SUCK IT...your not going to earn respect, your game sucks, it's a lame fps

Off-topic - Sounds like someone is horribly jealous that this game is lead platform and exclusive to Playstation 3 for an unspecified timeframe.

On-topic - Personally I strongly disagree with Miyamoto's reaction, I feel that he's looking at this with "glass half empty" perspective.
Only focusing on the small part of the bigger picture of what this game brings to the FPS genre.

It's a shame when someone so well respected picks out a game that he barely knows anything about and attacks it like as if it affects the industry detrimentally.

Just my two cents...keep the change!

I can't wait for Haze reviews to start rolling in maybe then will the hype finally die and they couldn't come soon enough.

As much as i like the ideas about Haze i am sick of listening to the hype surrounding it, i recon it will be like Killzone 1 when that came out. 'Halo Killer'....um maybe not. I hope it does turn out to be good though, i really don't like the hyping of games, let the game speak for itself, until then, don't say anything.

PoG would it really kill you if we had a FPS that we enjoy. OMG you're a spiteful fukwit.

For the record, Free Radical, nor Sony or even Guerrilla have ever called their games a Halo Killer. They leave that up to lazy, unimaginative games journalist who just like to stir up traffic on their sites, and rabid Sony fanboys.

When Killzone, aka "KIN" initially, was shown for the first time to gaming journalists in Europe (behind-closed-doors btw), one of the gaming journalists was impressed by the PS2 tech demo (yes, it was a tech demo at the time), that he shouted out that it was a "halo killer".

In conclusion: Sony nor Guerilla Games NEVER hyped Killzone as a "halo killer". It was the gaming media.

P.S. Personally, based on the gameplay videos shown so far, the gameplay feels very... cliche (except for the playing dead element, which is a first for an FPS game). Maybe because I've played way too many FPS games on PC and consoles. I don't know. I DO, however, like the fact that it supports online four-player co-op :D I'll wait until I see the reviews for this one before purchasing it. It does look pretty amazing though, but not Gears of Wars/UT3/Killzone PS3 amazing.
