Ubisoft has told CVG that the official stance on Haze remains that it's exclusive to PS3 "for now", in response to recent reports that the FPS will never come to 360.
Stories on the 'net today report that unnamed Ubisoft spokespersons attending the Play.com Live event in Wembley Stadium, London, over the weekend confirmed that the nectar-fuelled shooter will only ever appear on PS3.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
lol.. This again ? ...OK.For now, forever, timed, it will still launch on the PS3 first.
UBISOFT needs to make up their mind. Gamers are more interested about a launch date than indecisiveness about where it should be exclusive or not.
They've recently said they saw little merit in FPS games (as compared to other genres) so it may be they're not sure about Haze itself being worthy of publishing. They're already too far gone on PS3 to stop that version, but odds are that if the game underperforms on PS3, they'll can it for 360 and PC, blaming the game for the failure.
Odds are, the game is going to have to get extraordinary reviews for them to sink money into the ports...
From the moment it was declared a PS3 exclusive and would never make it to the 360, the internet has attacked it. That has to hurt Ubisoft a little. But if they say it's coming to the the 360, then I bet it starts to get good press surrounding it.
so I will wait and see what happens.
I think Ubi is putting itself in a tough position bringing out this game amongst PS3's 3rd-party beasts.
Naturally, this game would do very well with the 360 crowd for obvious reasons. :-)
Good luck Ubi.
