Ascard Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Despite the devastating reviews and comments of ps2 like graphics something is really driving me towards this game Anyone given it a shot yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HP- Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 No, and I wont... The game looks really shitty! (Hopes no one on core worked on it, but It's my humble opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furyo Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I had all sorts of poor expectations on it given the long delays for it, and I was actually surprised those were only surpassed by the sheer disappointment of every single review I've read. Not looking forward to ever trying it. At work, we have different boards where we post articles and reviews on all games published by Ubisoft. Haze is currently up on the one next to my desk, and I hope everyone who stops and reads those will remember what not to do in their next projects...

Chunks Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 All free radical had to do was release another time splitters with a good online component and it would've been the best console fps ever. The first time I saw videos of this game awhile back all that I could think of was "meh". I don't plan on bothering with it. It's a shame though. I don't know how this happened given Free Radical's track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algor Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I didn't finish the demo because I figured I had better things to do. Heard there are some awesome levels and lighting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldoon182 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Played the PS3 Demo: First I don't like to play with the paddle on Fps, and then the game is crappy to play. However the BO sounds Good ! I've found a French article which compares Haze to Crysis. Lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3ads Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 What's the point in comparing Haze to Crysis?! Anyway, it looks pretty generic so I doubt I'll bother with it (if it's released on PC that is), the graphics are hardly PS2 like anyhow...

-HP- Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Those comparisons are stupid, besides whoever did them used old screenshots from crysis, they are not from the final build. not that it changes anything, but damn, I really don't understand why people do this, ffs!

Sindwiller Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 It started when people compared Crysis with Real Life v2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgernader Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I played the demo, and I dont see why everyone ripped on it so bad. The enviroments were static, and the enemies where at times hard to spot from a distance, but overall I found it entertaining. Granted this was my first freeradical game i played and I had no expectations. I'll probably still pick it up because I've been hurtin for some good coop games and the 4player splitscreen was fun in the demo, and frankly I dont really care if the games super great looking. Personally Crysis for example was a dissapointment, mostly because I wasnt really sold on the core game (the suit and overall game setting) While I liked the ideas they put into haze, I think its somthing different, and somthing they could probably improve on quite a bit next time. My next question is why are they comparing it to crysis? Yea its the best looking fps to come out so far, but its two different systems... Why didnt they compare it to something from the same system like UT3, Uncharted, or Army of 2? All of those would probably fit for a better comparison, because the ps3 is still a pretty new system, Im not surprised they havnt been able to get everything crysis has goin for it because few companies probably CAN get that kind of stuff running on a ps3 right now. In a year or so I bet more stuff will get closer once people can use the cell processor better. I dont think many console games will ever beable to look better then the equivilant pc title. I think people are getting to be way to critical... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascard Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 lol that was the kind of reply i was expecting tbh... its a shame, and yet i still feel drawn lol this months edge refered to its graphics along the lines of embarisingly reminiscent of last gen though again I don't think there bad, defo not as bad as ppl make out, and ut3 is still a failed comparison that game is 'gorgeus' mixed with 'phwoar' and a little bit of *drool* for a suprisingly low spec You missed out on time splitters, it played really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defrag Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 It looks utterly average in every department. On second glance the environments look ok, but some of those character designs are really ... ugly. Also, the adverts did a terrible job of selling it.

Erratic Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 From the demo, I thought it was a fairly competent shooter. The guns feel good, the hud/visor stuff is nicely done and shooting at guys is generally fun. I found the AI moved around quite a bit when I attempted to flake them, didn't seem as bad as I had read about. It does have some really low resolution textures throughout the environment, though. Also, some of the dialogue felt a little forced, but it's hard to judge the story stuff when you're dropped into the middle of the game. I find it a little difficult to believe it's a sub 5.0 game based on the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgernader Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Also, some of the dialogue felt a little forced Yea, the dialogue was awful for alot of it, but it seemed like a comical bad. Kinda like the mercinaries in FarCry shouting lines like "I'm gunna shoot you in the face!" and "I'll fix your little red wagon!" So if anything the dialogue makes me want to get it more because I can laugh at it and have a overall good time when playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
