Exclusive Interview: Haze Creators

Halo 3 isn't the only big shooter coming out this season. TheFeed is very excited about Haze as well, especially after talking to the game's screenwriter, Rob Yescombe and the project lead Derek Littlewood of Free Radical, the PS3, 360, and PC game's designers.

Rob and Derek wanted to get the word out about some of the interesting play mechanics in their game, and TheFeed is happy to oblige… so check out the interview to learn what's so damn awesome about Haze, how it relates to rock, paper and scissors, which console you'll want to play it on and how it all relates to the Atari Lynx.

[flipsniper]

yea im sorry if I'm flaming but i think halo 3 is going to blow haze out of the water sorry

[Bathyj]

You're entitled to your opinion Dude, dont apoligise. I dont agree, but you're still entitled.

[Staircase]

That's fine. It is your opinion! It's the people who are completely closed to new ideas, and just shut everything other than Halo 3 down because they have a preconceived idea that halo 3 is the best there ever will be that i dislike. If you can honestly look at another game and say "I still like halo better" then good for you!

[Bathyj]

That sux, Free Radical are well know PS fans but there not allowed to say get the PS3 version less they upset Ubisoft or get in trouble with the internet.

See how much trouble fanboys are starting to cause? Maybe I'll get the Atari Lynx Version.

[Jdash24]

wait wasnt the atari lynx a really old handheld console?

[nice_cuppa]

who ?

lol.

[Kleptic]

ask infinity ward about Free Radical and they will probably have the utmost respect for them...

Haze is made by a lot of the guys that made Goldeneye...don't think for a minute that other developers are underestimating what free radical will come up with...

[Jdash24]

wow, i cant wait for this game, online gameplay is going to be really crazy, i wonder if the ps3 version will handle 32 players....i really hope so

[fopums]

Man I realy want to play Haze! every time I hear about the rebel faction the more promising their gameplay sounds!

I was a little bummed when I figured Shane defected from mantel, going off e3's trailer of course mainly becuase I thought the MANTEL troopers would be way more fun to play as....but that hardly seems the case!

on a second thought though, I would like to know if there are more than a handfull of vehicals for multiplayer games.

psn: Liberties

edit:@5 I doubt it, Im sure all platforms will have just 24 player limits....but thats not too bad...32 would have been nice and 40 would well.....have ruled :)

[Mike134nl]

Why do they keep comparing this game to halo there aren't even aliens in it.

[Nicosia]

I can't stand these guys who wanna grab headlines with comparing too other games. Rather letting the game speak for itself is more respectful. And like i said before mosly hardcore gamers gonna pick this up.

[Daxx]

I agree. Why can't a game just be it's own thing. Why does it always have to be compared to something else and in realality it is a completely different game than the one it is being compared to.

[Daxx]

But if it doesn't live up to it's hype it's going to get beat left and right by bad reviews and most people take those reviews seriously. Hype can be a good thing sometimes but it can do great damage if the game doesn't deliver. But the game looks good enough that I think it will deliver.

[fopums]

yeah, your spot on there, with the 8 days of haze hype or whatever and the comparisions to Halo 3, Haze does need to deliver, I also have confidence in it being able to get some mostly positive reviews, say 8 or 9 out of 10....

but the game will get trashed to some extent if it gets ANYTHING below an 9...cuase cant please everyone
