CVG Reviews Haze. The sad truth behind PS3's most hyped shooter

After over a year of hype, speculation and delay, Ubisoft's Haze breaks cover - and despite being developed by Free Radical, the team behind the excellent TimeSplitters 2 on PS2 - it fails to better UT3, Resistance and CoD4. Haze looks poor, lacks set-pieces and feels like a novel idea that missed its window of opportunity, frayed by the requests of nervous Brand Managers and cruel demands of next-gen development.

No,the currently most 'hyped' shooter on the Playstation 3 is Killzone 2.

Thank you for trying though.

butterfinger6185d ago

Haze was maybe the most hyped behind... hmm... Metal Gear Solid 4? Resistance 2? Killzone 2? Nobody was looking forward to Haze more than those 3. Everyone knew Haze was a layover game until MGS4 comes out.

Fishy Fingers6185d ago

Yeah that baffled me when I read it, but it's not my place to edit CVG's review to avoid hurting a few feelings.

It is a ridiculous claim though.

sonarus6185d ago

Can we PLEASE stop talking about haze. Game flopped let us just look forward to the PS3 MeGa excluSive that is Metal Gear Solid

PSMonster216185d ago

Agreed. It's time to move on people!!!

Sunny_D6185d ago

HAHAHAHAH

FPS GAMES SUCKS

NOW with god guided RPG games to come out the world will be taken over
mwhahaha
mwhahaha

their is hardly any RPG games. ARGHHHHHH

I was actually plannign on buying this but it seems like god is telling me to continue to hate FPS games!!! ;)

shotputking6185d ago

and killzone 2 will have the same result... sony needs to slow down the hype machine until they know is something is really worth the hype... after lair they should have learned their lesson. if a game is good, it'll sell, and you need to the word out. if not, don't waste your advertising money. MGS4 may get more hype by hardcore gamers, but in the general public sony hyped haze more so far.

Fishy Fingers6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

Really? I saw (like most games) nothing coming from Sony directly, it's generally the developers big mouth early on or just the internet/forums that get the hype up.

At the end of the day, it's your fault if you buy into it anyway.

Daver6185d ago

How can you know that much and say sh!t like that lol you are pathetic

Btw Haze has nothing to do with sony.. who are hyping games? gamers
Yes Haze at start looked like a promosing game but it didnt deliver like it was supposed to be. That's it.

oh and keep your Killzone will be the same thing comment for yourself until you try it

juuken6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

I never hyped this. I had mixed feelings about trying the demo/buying it for that matter.

Now, I'll skip and wait for MGS4, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2.

And this game being hyped had nothing to do with Sony.

butterfinger6185d ago

all you see at Gamestop and EB Games all over the US is Metal Gear Solid 4. Metal Gear Solid 4 is getting way more hype in the public than Haze, get over yourself.

Not a bad score really...so it's average? So what? Average doesn't mean bad. Bottomline: Haze still has good value and should hold me until Resistance 2.

PAPERCHASER03966185d ago

Haze was not a highly anticipated and over hyped title most of the Ps3 nation was waiting on you can ask any gamestop or ebgames employee anywhere solely based on preorders so cut the crap. In the end when it boils down to it after our inventory has built up try measuring the number of highly rated games the Ps3 will have in comparison to the 360 that will tell the truth. People keep comparing a years head start... I guess if this was track and field the 360 would be the winner but this AINT....lol

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

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 .

Game-ur1758d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2331759d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1758d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1758d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1758d ago

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.

HarryMasonHerpderp1758d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx1758d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
