This game has had me interested since the announcement. With Free Radical behind the development it should end up a solid, fun FPS like their known for.
Yea the game looks decent but is it just me or is that music so so so so horrible. The music reminds me of that movie with Eddie Murphy beverly hills cop.
Congrats dude! You've just become the poster boy of a rabid (and insecure) fanboy on this site. Thats the most blatant example of trolling I've witnessed to date. You must really be getting nervous to jump so quickly into a Haze gameplay thread with that post. You are truly a desperate loser (who obviously loves Haze enough to try and distract attention from it). You make MS proud, I'm sure they love you (despite the restraining order).
I said this game - Haze, for the PS3 - looks uninspired. It looks like a cookie cutter FPS I dont give a f*ck what system its on, or going to be on, I will not be buying it.
I will say this - the 'excitement' over this game by PS3 owners is laughable for 2 reasons - 1, it looks like its going to suck. 2, one of the biggest knocks the PS3 twat will throw out about the 360 is that its FPS heavy, yet this pile of sh*t is one of the most hyped up games for the PS3 and its a FPS ... oh and so is UC3, and COD4 ... RS:V and Resistance are still selling well.
Really it just goes to show that PS3 owners want what 360 owners have been enjoying for quite some time.
Looks good. Just what the PS3 needs this year is a solid, FPS with a lot of focus on online multiplayer/coop. doesnt look as impressive as say Killzone 2 but looks like the multiplayer aspect could be pretty fun. im Expecting low-mid AA for this one
The environments are looking okay, as are the character models, but what is really impressing me is the lighting, and the way the characters react and move when they talk, they seem to have caught personality pretty well in this game. +Co Op!
This video looks ok, don't know but I haven't been very impressed by that game....I think its time for for Free Radical to make another Time Splitters..(already in production btw)
anyway the only video that can get me hypped right now is MGS4 and Uncharted...not much else...
This looks disgusting! I was really interested in this game, but it's turning out to be a normal FPS with the inclusion of drugs. I wish UT3 came out this year, because I doubt this game will be a AAA FPS. It looks slow paced, and dull. The trailers looked awesome for this game, but this hands on makes it look like absolute garbage.
.............................. ............................... ........................IM STILL NOT EXCITED. it looks so stupid. only thing that is good is the 4 player co op
Resistance has a 2 player coop split screen mission mode, but no online 4 player (and/or/combined) splitscreen mode. AFAIK Haze has a 4 player mission mode with a max of 2 player per machine split screen (other two (or three) need to be online.
Recent reports have been given this game thumbs down. As you can see it looks like crap. Far Cry looks better than this. So much for Hazo....oops, I mean Haze.
Wrong. I have been in Leipzig at the GC and at that time it was still known as multiplatform and already I said it sucked donkey balls when I played it.
And still this isn't an exclusive. It's Ubisoft, this game is well in production for PC/360. But it's like Assassins Creed if you like. You'll see Haze on the 360/PC somewhere in 2008. Not that we need it though, it's no competition against Halo 3 with 4 player co-op. Does Haze have video playback capabilities as cool as in Halo 3?
Video playback is cool but hardly makes a game good/bad. Doesn't hurt to have it but it gets pretty old after the first week or so using it.
Anyway, this game looks way better than Halo 3 graphically. And more importantly the gameplay is actually something new. Besides, if we're always going to bring up other games to troll threads... UT3 crushes Halo 3 in EVERY aspect, period. And 360 gamers won't know that joy for a long time to come.
Sorry, 'bout the name, just sounded funny. Anyways, yes you are right that this was my opinion. That's what I said in the beginning. The "fact" I'm referring to is the fact that I think Halo 3 looks "just ok". Yes you are right, I suppose to someone with sub par vision, Halo 3 might look awesome. Alright, typing is boring, time to go play some games!
(Don't even try to pull the obvious, "Where are all the games on PS3 for you to play?" card.)
but i know this game isnt tripple AAA and i could care less if it scores 50's. im waiting for uncharted
i just know fanboys are gonna start yelling out flop but if they do that i can always talk about TWO WORLDS, BLUE DRAGON, AND NARUTO BEING FLOPS. but i cant wait for uncharted
and one more thing. this game is not exclusive just timed. NOTICE IN ADS they always say only on playstation three.................THIS CHIRSTMAS.
A 640p game on the 360 even beats any PS3 game any day. So if its 1080p it's allright, right?
May I remember you of Lair, 1080p, but average reviews of what, 5.4 out of 10?
BTW, 640p = 1152x640 How far is that off a 1280 x 720 resolution (720p)? Not much, right? Even better, the 360 has the special ANA hardware upscaler that makes that 640p into a 720p flawlessly. If we digg any further, this information is very interesting:
"Halo 3 uses a "Dual-Frame" Buffer 640p resolution, rather than a traditional "Single-Frame" Buffer 720p resolution.
Here is the difference: A "Single-Frame" Buffer 720p offers performance 100% equal to 720p resolution. However, a "Dual-Frame" 640p resolution actually offers performance comparable to what would be seen from a "Single-Frame" 1280p resolution."
So now play Lair again and see how a 1080p is the worst that can happen to a gamer.
EDIT
@ smirx (below)
Resistance is on par with COD2 launch game on the 360. I guess you need glasses. Halo 3 is no Gears of War, but on the other hand, it's better then most games on the PS3. I just wanted to point out, how stupid that 640p comment is. Facts again, are above.
No matter how much technical mumbo-jumbo you spew from your mouth, one fact remains in my mind..... Holo 3 looks mediocre at best. My friend brought over his Xbox with Halo 3 yesterday. It was KINDA fun but we both commented that the graphics were only "fair". After this I threw in Resistance (which doesn't have great graphics either). My friend was amazed at the difference. I don't usually like getting involved in the 360 vs PS3 arguments, but I had to share this FACT with you.
* EDIT: BTW, My friend has the 360 Elite model. Both systems were plugged into separate HDMI inputs on my TV. Don't Hate, Participate.
Mart I think everyone in the world know that you are stuffed with fanboism. Eventually this sort of sickness is going to be out of fashion. The good thing that you are not alone with that. Today at the show I was playing a lot of games not only on PS3 and XBox 360 too. I tried Mass Effect demo and another 360 addicted person made me laughing. Everyone have seen a really brilliant cut scenes from MAss Effect with dialogues etc. I enjoyed them and liked them much. But when they ended I found that ME is kind of shooter with pretty average graphics... "Oh my, is it another shooter?" I asked an XBox booth assistant. He answered me and made me cry - "Nope dude! It is another Game of The Year!"... It seems to me that Microsoft can easilly promote almost every overhyped XBox 360 game with GotY mark! They were already FM2, Bioshock and Halo 3. Another GotY awarded game is coming. It became funny. Esp. when I have seen a couple of people who were interested with ME and a big crouwd in front of Assassin's Cread stand.
@Kuest It is your own point to believe me or not. If this is not a shooter WHAT is that? http://www.gametrailers.com... But at the very begining of the trailer there is a work 'scenario'. What I watched today differed much with the graphicss in this trailer. You may not belive me but I watched this myself. At least the graphics in Haze was tons better then in ME. Cutscenes were realy ecxiting you are right. But the rest - it was a crap... Disapointment - no other words
I guess someone forgot to send the memo to all those *other* gaming sites that said Mass Effect's graphics are amazing. Oh, and how come no one told me that ME is a "shooter"? Must have slipped their mind...
edit: lol
When did I ever mention anything about cutscenes? Nice try (thought you could butter me up didn't ya?). Anyways silly, the video that you showed doesn't prove anything. Mass Effect does have shooting elements, yes, however, that does not automatically pigeonhole the game into a "shooter". If you've read ANY Mass Effect previews, you'd know that the game is an RPG- but, of course, who am I to question someone who seems to have so much *first hand experience* with the game. One word, fanboy (yes, I have figured you out)- reviews. if you're "opinion" is indeed accurate, than it will show in the reviews and I will publicly apologize to you. If it turns out that all your rambling about bad graphics is false, however... expect for me to call you out.
"Halo 3 uses a "Dual-Frame" Buffer 640p resolution, rather than a traditional "Single-Frame" Buffer 720p resolution.
Here is the difference: A "Single-Frame" Buffer 720p offers performance 100% equal to 720p resolution. However, a "Dual-Frame" 640p resolution actually offers performance comparable to what would be seen from a "Single-Frame" 1280p resolution."
Are you dizzy from all that spinning. 1280p LMAO, I don't even know where to start. Why not do this with all the games right? Its better than 1080p according to your theory.
In a dual buffer graphic architecture, when a pixel is changed in the primary frame buffer, that pixel is copied to the secondary frame buffer when the pixel is needed by the display. That is not progressive, and does not equal 1280p. In 1080p all pixels are displayed it a single scan, at once, updated every scan, not copied and repeated, and not only when needed. It is a compression technique that brings about the question of space. Bungie obviously had to do this to fit it on a DVD9 and keep it at least HD in theory. (I never wanted to bring it up before but Mart forced me too, I dont have anything bad to say about Halo3) LOL It wasn't a choice to make it better than 720p! At least stick to FUD you understand.
And just in case anyone disagrees with me that this was to fit it on a DVD9, this is what Bungie actually said before The MART spun it-
"you could argue we gave you 1280 pixels of vertical resolution...a full range of HDR, combined with our advanced lighting, material and postprocessing engine, gives our scenes, large and small, a compelling, convincing and ultimately “real” feeling, and at a steady and smooth frame rate, which in the end was far more important to us than the ability to display a few extra pixels." ABILITY being the key word.
I love the "you could argue" part. You could also argue the "PS3 is more powerful due to the Cell", but it doesnt necessairly make it true does it? Y'know what else I could argue, that you are a walking ad for MS and therefore eveything you say is spam. Does that make it true?
Mass Effect gfx don't suck but they aren't as amazing anymore after seeing so many of these other games. The character models are pretty excellent and the use of color looks good, but all of the environments I've seen so far are pretty bland. I honestly don't think we're going to see much better looking games on the 360, it's maxed out. Games still look good but will likely never match the qulaity of MGS4 or KZ2.
Dood, no offence(and it shouldnt offend you since you didnt dev halo), but halo 3 isnt even in the same graphical generation as lair. intropolated 640 looks like ass. heres proof:
wish they didnt have that song though and had the games sound instead! i will mainly get it cause it has 4 player co op and it looks decent. but ill see how COD 4 goes first!
the quality of the vid and the lack of sound made this VERY difficult to gauge. but Im still hopefull that Haze will turn out good, and you have to admit they put quite a bit of detail inside the aircraft's
just release a demo FR, it could get quite a bit of hype back for this game...or kill it :/
I mean guys lets not judge the game yet, i mean the game could be lacking graphic, but the game play could be awesome! i mean take Halo franchise for example. Halo graphic are not good i mean the game run at 640 30fps, but halo game play kick ass that why is a AAA franchise, because of gameplay not because of graphic.
Halo was AAA because it was years ahead of it's time. Halo 2 was still great, but didn't push the envelope anywhere near as much, and Halo 3 is a good game, but really relies on the same gameplay formula and is quickly becoming superseded in this year's highly competitive gaming environment. It has extra features, ie forge and video editor, which are nice, but it's gameplay is old. COD4 has realism and environment destructibility, Haze has the contrasting rebels and mantel soldiers and UT3 has it's incredible pace. The Orange Box has its epic and thrilling storyline in Half life 2, fast paced and funny multiplayer in TF2 and a one of a kind puzzler in Portal. Halo has nothing special in the gameplay, and even has worse graphics and animations than all of these games. It's A, maybe AA at best, but certainly not AAA.
It's not your fault, Moron. I'm just saying that the quality of this video is not indicative of Haze's performance at this time. It's a good video in that it shows me new footage though!
before Christmas is probably the most realistic release time frame...Ubisoft and Free Radical came up with that unofficial PS3 ad that states haze will be available before Christmas '07...
It's not impressing me much... I don't like the animations for the characters. Watch when they stop and turn around. Their feet don't move... the sort of pivit on end. It's stupid looking... Last gen and dated, actually. I'd like to see some more animations for these characters. Also, the nano armor... I'm so sick of seeing it in videogames. I'd love to see a game with a character who wears like ... pajamas next time. That's different. Nano armor is not. I dunno about this one, the textures and graphics as a whole seem downgraded to me now... I know it's an SD vid but it just didn't get to me. My money is on COD4 right now for my FPS fix, folks. Atleast for this year.
Yeah, maybe some of the movement reactions aren't that great. But watch how a body flies and tumbles in this game when hit by a great force(Grenade, Shotgun, Haze-induced strike). It's quite impressive IMO.
Poor quality footage. I want to see real gameplay not someone filming a TV. How would you like to see HD movies like that? Probably won't have the same affect.
I don't know about Haze, I haven't seen a lot of gameplay, and what I have seen looks a bit sloppy and fast paced to me personally. But you never know how it really plays and how it carries on.
Actually I'm pretty new with videoediting. GT shrank the file to the very bad quality. The demo is still very buggy and may freeze at every moment. But I didnt found any major fps dropdowns except the bad cutscene scripting when the picture distored badly. Anyway the game looks good much better that it was described by some internet resources. It still needs more work at IHMO. I may say that when buggy and neverending scripted cut scene ended and real gameplayy began it was much much better that I was expecting. The environment had very nice appierience and the granade smoke clouds were much volumetric than I have seen before in any game. Nectar effects destorted picture very impressive and I didnt get any framerate drops down during the play.
I personnaly liked it. If you need a better quality vid PM me.
@Vojkan Even being on the stage of development it does look better then Halo 3. More it looks much better then Mass Effect. Actually ME looks so ugly that there were not much people near the stand with its demo. Defenetely it was a big crowd around Assassin's Creed's stand. That game looks fantastic. Hehe And Jade Raymond does too =)
This game look really good, but I want to know how it plays. I know these guys made Goldeneye, but that doesn't mean anything. I for one will like to know if there is a party system online like that of Resistance. And if there is an online buddy list, and not the psn buddy list
i personally will be picking this game up, because it look like it will be a solid fps with coop and multiplayer. So if the gameplay is good i will give this one a purchase for sure.
Haze is showing the best looking jungles ive seen yet besides crysis and farcry 2. The nectar just looks kinda lame though the gameplay scheme may be fun. The graphics look better then halo 3 but the art direction looks lacking. Theres alota fps above haze on my list may pick it up 1 day though.
there halo 3 runs at 640p at 30fps, then upscaled to 720p-1080p, thus giving it jaggies. dont say no it didnt, cause that makes you ignorant of the situation.
Compared to COD4 or UT3 this looks pretty average. But still I may rent it anyway, you never know. I remember thinking Red Faction sucked when I 1st saw it but it turned out great ;)
lookin good
very uninspired.
I'll rent it just to check it out, but ... its not a purchase for me.
4 player co-op is what has me wanting this one. That and Free Radical.
Looks good. Just what the PS3 needs this year is a solid, FPS with a lot of focus on online multiplayer/coop. doesnt look as impressive as say Killzone 2 but looks like the multiplayer aspect could be pretty fun. im Expecting low-mid AA for this one
The most exciting footage but im still excited about this game.. Cant wait to see how it all comes together
