Unfortunately not all of us can afford every game on the market to play before judging. You can see the flaw in your suggestion now, yes? ;) This is why we have demos :yes:

If they didn't take the time to make a decent demo, can I really be arsed giving them my good money for a game they probably treated with the same manner?

Thats fair enough. May I suggest pension day in the local post offices as a way to assist in buying all the games that are made available? They rarely fight back. ;)

Wait for the reviews to come in, I think this will be a 8/8.5 type of game.

I think that's a little high. From what I hear, it's more like a 7.

After the demo I was ready to write off Haze as another dull, generic FPS. I then spent some time checking out videos of the campaign and the multiplayer on IGN (they've got tons of Haze media on their site). I'm actually starting to look forward to it. I'll gamefly it, it's not an automatic buy after that crap demo. The multiplayer looks fairly original and pretty decent, but it all depends on how well it runs on PSN. I'd prefer an xbox version so I could play it on Live, but i'm still planning on checking the game out. I know it's rare that a game will have a crap demo and not be a crap game, but it does happen from time to time. I'm not using the "old code" defense, because that's just retarded, in this case it looks like a last minute "let's throw together a demo real quick" type of situation.

Same thing really.

Review from the Swedish Gamereactor,

Score: 6/10

http://www.gamereactor.se/recensioner/1386...5986ccd3ae5a3d8

Must be that darn old code!

You sound almost happy.

2 other reviews have given it much higher scores, so I guess as we have said all along its down to personal taste.

I hate Halo (2&3), but the reviews are all good.

Yeah, Happy :rolleyes:

Stop with these petty remarks every time something doesn't go your way. Also, let's see these reviews then so we can see the other side of the coin. :)

Things not going my way?? Sorry you have lost me. I really enjoyed the demo, and I've really enjoyed watching all the HD clips of the game. A 6/10 review is going against what I think.

Ironic that you tell me to stop with the petty remarks when your post contained one. I was simply pointing out that reviews don't always mean anything (GTA anybody?)

The reviews are from Famitsu and PSM Italy. No actual link to the reviews as they have not been scanned as of yet.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, I think GTA deserved all the praise it's gotten, it's an amazing game. If it's about the gamespot changing their score thing, well that's gamespot. After the Kane & Lynch fiasco I don't think anyone takes them seriously anymore. Haze, on the other hand, looks to deserve a solid 7/10 based on the demo and the videos I've seen. The demo feels like a 6/10 game but the multiplayer vids I've seen bump it up another point. 4 man co-op helps a lot also.

popisdead, you seem to be taking this kinda personal, relax, the interwebs shouldn't anger you!

Just for information, like so many games these days, Haze isn't true HD either.

It's running 576p according to Kotaku

That explains a lot then!

Haze Not in True HD, says Free Radical

By Tom Ivan

BLOG - Contrary to a PlayStation blog post which suggested that PS3 exclusive FPS Haze ran at 720p, developer Free Radical has said that it natively runs at 576p, leaving the PS3 to upscale.

“We prioritize a nice smooth framerate over a different res,” Haze creative lead Derek Littlewood told Ripten.

“Personally, I don’t really buy the whole thing. People did the same with Call of Duty, they did the same with Halo, and they say with those games ‘It’s not running at true HD!’ And it’s like, I don’t care. If the game looks good and it runs smoothly, those are the important things to me.

“I always say, judge it [Haze] by the whole experience. Sit down with it and enjoy it. If people come away from that saying ‘Yeah, the resolution was a bit lower than I was expecting’ then I hope people wouldn’t, because it has other things it does really well.”

I get what Littlewood is saying, but were consumers rushed into buying expensive early HD TVs on the promise of HD games that haven't materialized too often so far?

The Haze demo looked fine to me and I’m still pretty intent on picking up the full game later this week. How have you found it?

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
