Corris Veteran Posted March 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Haze Never Coming Out on Xbox 360News coming straight in from Play.com Live in Wembley stadium is final confirmation that Haze will eternally be a Playstation 3 exclusive. The full game is playable at the event - that's right, the full game and Kev Lochun will be giving a preview this weekend. It's looking clean and sharp, and overdosing on Nectar is a pleasing yet disorientating experience. While playing through the game we got speaking to two independent Ubisoft reps. On asking both separately whether the game will ever come out on the Xbox 360, they said in a resolute fashion that the game is not only a timed PS3 exclusive, but will never make its way onto any other platform. This result is apparently a recent decision, but final. Sony must have paid Ubisoft/Free Radical a nice little packet to bag this one. Ripten I didn't use the original article title as I think it was just asking for trouble, lol. But I always expected the game to eventually make its way onto another platform a couple of months later. Edited March 15, 2008 by Corris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I usually never care about what's exclusive and what's not, because the more people that are able to play a great game, the better. But out of vengeance, I hope this game kicks ass and never makes its way into the 360 :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiracyX Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 So they don't want the possibility of selling more copies of the game by making in on other platforms? An idiotic desicion, but i am sure they got paid by Sony to keep exclusive. For the sake of this, i really hope it's a bad game. And prehaps we may see it hit 360 when they realise it didn't sell that well after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is really just an unfair and idiotic comment to make towards the game. It was a made at least a timed exclusive back in the day and for whatever reason it's been made a full exclusive now - They've had to spend extra months polishing the game up and I hope for the best. Many games are exclusives, that's just the way it is - You want the best of both worlds, buy both consoles - But don't go around "wishing" games will turn out bad just because they're exclusives. So they don't want the possibility of selling more copies of the game by making in on other platforms? Also, that's just not the way it works and you know it. Or else we'd see Halo/FF/GT and everything else on every console - Then there would be no need for 2 consoles in the market at all. Some games are "bought" to be exclusives by MS/Sony, some are exclusives due to them being in-house studios and others are exclusives just because the devs want them to be, be it "just because" or down to them being made and optimized for one platform.

PiracyX Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 That is really just an unfair and idiotic comment to make towards the game. How is it? The game doesn't even look that look nor will it sell that well so the least they need to do is release it on 360 or maybe they just don't really care since Sony paid them too much money lol Everyone says Halo sucks because its only on 360 and Bioshock sucks because it on 360 and not on PS3. So if GTA4 was on 360 only, would PS3 fans say it sucks because it didn't come on their console. Haze is not halo by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the game looks is subjective to your interest in FPS games and/or the nectar based system used. Lets wait for some new previews/reviews. The game is made by the people behind Timesplitters, so they know what they're doing in the FPS genre. We'll just need to wait and see how the extra months working on Haze worked out. Everyone says Halo sucks because its only on 360 and Bioshock sucks because it on 360 and not on PS3. So if GTA4 was on 360 only, would PS3 fans say it sucks because it didn't come on their console. Everyone? Yeah nice generalisation of the whole gaming community. No, idiots say games "suck" because they are exclusive - Unless the game does score really low, and is a genuinely poor game. Saying Bioshock sucks because it's a 360/PC exclusive makes you sound like a 5 year old child. Haze is not halo by any means. No one said it was, but thanks for telling us something we don't really need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you can post some really lame things, you hope its a bad game so they bring it to the 360? so everyone can have a bad game? And have it on more consoles? well you can say that for any game developer that makes a game for one system. How is it? The game doesn't even look that look nor will it sell that well so the least they need to do is release it on 360 or maybe they just don't really care since Sony paid them too much money lolEveryone says Halo sucks because its only on 360 and Bioshock sucks because it on 360 and not on PS3. So if GTA4 was on 360 only, would PS3 fans say it sucks because it didn't come on their console. Haze is not halo by any means. Bitter much? If this game is apparently not all that why do you really care? If you listen to "fanboys" your going to hear this game sucks, or that one sucks. Surprisingly, bias aside, some people just dont like some games. Ps3 fans would say it sucks that say GTA4 isn't on their system of choice, of course they would, obviously they want a game for the system it owns, saying a game sucks or is going to, or even hoping it is going to suck is a very fanboyish thing to say, and while you might call them what you want for such things, you just said you hope this game sucks. This is a game I'm not sure if I'm going to buy or not. I read some thing that are interesting but I need a demo first. I'll be buying it because of the On-line/Off-line co-op for the main game, me and a friend did Gears and Resistance, so I'll be buying this too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maeby Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 i watched like a 10 min of gameplay videogame (on GT, i think). i honestly was not that impressed at all. the graphics really didnt look that great to me, and the gameplay really didnt seem like anything special. seems like just another FPS with a gimmick thrown in. i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've heard on both the 1UP and Gamescoop podcasts that it's not very good from what they've played of it. Besides, the 360 already has enough AAA shooters that I doubt anyone is going to miss a B one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiracyX Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Holy crap. I see the PS3 fans jumping against me in this thread. At the end of the day whatever you say is your opinion as much as what i say is my own opinion. Obvviously you don't understand that otherwise you wouldn't be bringing me down, seems kinda lame.

Ayepecks Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Really? Wow, I'm surprised about this... Free Radical always wanted the game out on PC, 360 and PS3, but Ubisoft was dead-set on it being a PS3 exclusive. Stinks, I was looking forward to it. I hope if Ubisoft is getting money out of this that they give Free Radical a substantial portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one has opinions, not everyone agrees with each other, that is fine, us "Ps3 fans" get that. The difference is we're not going into topics about a game not going to a platform you obviously support over the platform you don't and saying we hope it sucks because of this recent news. There's having an opinion, then there is just being bitter. It doesn't matter much in the end really, but what gets me is why do you seem to post generally negative stuff in the Sony section, especially for someone who is apparently looking to get one soon. I would think while you may be slightly miffed at the news, if you are going to get a Ps3 then would this not be another reason to get a system for a game you seem to want since your moaning that it isn't coming to the Xbox360?

I think your opinion was tainted when you said this, An idiotic desicion, but i am sure they got paid by Sony to keep exclusive. For the sake of this, i really hope it's a bad game. It's one thing to feel a little disappointed that a game that went from multiplatform, to timed exclusive, to exclusive, but it's another thing to go around saying "this game better suck because it's now an exclusive". As I said, makes you sound like a 5 year old. You won't see many of us going into a Bioshock topic and saying it sucks due to it not coming to PS3 - Best example I could come up with, due to the amount of times Bioshock was rumoured to be hitting the PS3. You were a victim of your own complaint as well, Everyone says Halo sucks because its only on 360 and Bioshock sucks because it on 360 and not on PS3. So if GTA4 was on 360 only, would PS3 fans say it sucks because it didn't come on their console. Previously, you, being the one going "I hope Haze sucks since it's exclusive", and then you complain that "everyone" says Halo sucks due to it only being on 360. So that is why some of us "jumped" on you. I hope the game is good, it's by developers I like (Y) If not, i'll be disappointed due to them delaying it to make it better. The PS3 needs some good exclusives this year, and if this turns out to be good, you should be happy that Sony managed to bag it as a full-time exclusive (instead of timed), for their own sake if anything.

Actually, I keep hearing Halo sucks from 360 fanboys who are completely disappointed with the effort put into the game after seeing other shooters like CoD4. Last time I checked, I could still play Bioshock on my PC. Same with Gears of War, and a few other 360 "exclusives". So I say they suck if they actually suck. The same won't be said for FF13, MGS4, Haze, and a few others Sony exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badie05 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Was looking forward to this on PC :s. I guess this timed-exclusive got a little cozy with Sony and Free Radical fell for the line :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPyro Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The whole reason it's now exclusive to PS3 is because they encountered problems while creating the game, hence it being delayed for PS3. They were close to scraping the whole project, but instead of wasting all that money decided to finish it and recoup their loses. Blowing more money to port a game they almost scrapped doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
