Anyone tried Haze? It's terrible!

I think it's poor to see "exclusive" titles, or at least titles that have been created with the PS3 as the lead platform (not a port) hitting sub 720p resolutions.

When it comes to mulitplatform titles I guess you can be more forgiving, as essentially two titles have been in development.

600-640p seems to be something we've seen a few times, but Haze dipping below that is disappointing IMO.

The game looks appealing on the Co-Op side of things, and multiplayer might be a blast, but I'll hold back.

RFOM2 is going to bring insane Co-Op anyway, I think it's 8 player Co-Op with it's own standalone campaign :yes:

I agree, but it hardly looks terrible. They must have their reasons.

I agree 100% about RFOM2.

4GB install as well

Ubisoft has also revealed that Haze will require an installation of at least 4GB.

"You will need to go through a minimal install (about 4 Gigs) but not the whole game," said a community rep on the Ubisoft forums.

Which eliminates all loading times in game. Not a bad trade off.

Not posting that as negative news, just posting it as information :)

Although I do fail to see why it requires installation at all, when there is far superior games which don't. I guess they are just taking advantage of the of the feature in the end.

I know mate, I was just stating that for once it actually seems to be of benefit. The installation must be down to how quick the disc needs to access data and stream it. Maybe this game cant access quick enough?

I'm not overly bothered, I have a HUGE HDD in my PS3 :D and I think I will be giving Haze a miss anyway.

most games kinda 'stealth' install anyway. being a PC gamer installation is not an issue for me, I'd rather do it in one go than over time. gta4 took around 7 mins, take a dump and make a drink then your about ready to go.

I'm happy to let sony off with the installations as it gives me better loading times and we're not tied to a proprietary drive, as we can use any 2.5'' SATA drive.

You're joking right? :blink:

Biggest benefit for me is in drive noise :laugh:

I'm sure some others might feel the same.

Not knocking "no" load times, that's cool, but I don't mind short load times anyway.

Unfortunately not, other things have popped up that are more important.

LOL! Have you actually read up on what Nectar does to the soldier? One of the opposing teams tricks is to play dead so the mantel trooper won't see them.

Nectar makes them think the world is a great place, and death is not there and THATS why they disappear.

The sound is superb through my 5.1 system, and its not blurry in the slightest on my TV. I'm just gutted I can't get it on Friday.

It is amazing how many people are jumping on the 'hate Haze' bandwagon when they don't know anything about it :) Not a dig at you, just an observation.

[American Ninja]

Just to let people know the Haze demo is an old build of the game. So I wouldn't go basing any opinions of the game off that lol

Meh, even so, i've severly gone off it. Shame cause i was really looking forward to this game too.

Give it a go mate, you may enjoy the full game. Give it a rent.

I actually thought the graphics were only ok, not amazing - Guess watching all the recent KZ2 stuff doesn't help :laugh:

It was an ok ride for me, doesn't hit me as an instant AAA title, but the amount that will no doubt be packed in (4 player co-op online and offline, ect), will probably give us a solid title.

The guys brought us timesplitters which was good, so I expect this to deliver above par, but not exceed expectations.

I'd say a Metacritic average of around 8, that's my guess anyway prior to seeing the final build reviewed.

:laugh:

KZ2 is still being shown as CG, no actual game footage is available at this time.

Unfortunately Haze is too little too late, look at the Resistance 2 footage, thats in game ****, not pre-rendered. that's the one im looking forward too.

I realise I am late to this thread, but it still remaims that Haze is a BoS and not worthy of the superior games following it, R2 to be exact

I do hope you are kidding. All the new KZ2 footage is real time, in game.

Oh god not you as well :pinch: Old code or not, if the game is medicore, it doesn't matter if they brought this game back from tomorrow, it still sucks in amny people's opinions.

Less of the "old code" crap.

Do you enjoy just making things up?

I understand people can make mistakes, but seriously, do some research before you come away with comments like that.

We seen the first in-game footage for KZ2 over a YEAR ago, and there's been a lot more of it since then.

[Emn1ty]

I'm surprised my post brought out so much conversation. But I still feel that a demo should be a close to finished code and graphics as possible. That is what a DEMO is, an example of the PRODUCT, not the product 5 months before completion. That is called a Beta. The reason I can let this slide for Halo 3 is because they actually called it a Beta Test, not a demo. I think people need to understand the difference.
