More stuff there, but Haze is the one everyone will want to try!

Great! I am on the fence about Haze, I have a friend who is obsessed with it but I fail to see how it's anything amazing. Hopefully the demo can provide enough of an experience for me to decide about it.

As for GRID, bring it on! DiRT was a wicked game, and all the old Colin McRae Rally games that I played on PC.

Sounds good. Only had my PS3 a few days and I'm loving being able to download demos and stuff - something I've missed with the Xbox and Wii. Whilst I don't think Haze will be anything special I think it will be a pretty solid game and am looking forward to giving it a try.

Am I the only one that finds Haze dull? Just another boring shooter?

No, you're not the only one. It looks like it has potential to be epic, but it also looks like it fails to deliver all it could. Of course this is based solely on video footage, so we'll have to see on Tuesday.

I haven't done much research on Haze, but what I've seen doesn't look like anything special. I hope I'm wrong and it ends up being great, I love a good shooter. Grid should be fun, it's Codemasters right? They make awesome racing games. I didn't see anything on there about pixeljunk monsters encore, but that has been confirmed for this coming Thursday, right? I want that more than any demo.

Yup, Don't know where you guys are seeing any potential.

I think the potential was in the claims of a new way to experience an FPS through the nectar system.

Add to that the seemingly seamless 4-player co-op offline and online.

However the amount of times Haze has been delayed has me worried.

I think it's going to be a 7/8 out of 10 game - Somewhat flawed, but still having enough worthwhile/unique points to still make it a good game.

But hey, if it's an 8/9 out of 10 game, nice surprise!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
