I haven't played the demo but i have seen loads of the game on Gamer.tv (thanks to their 'specials' which got annoying after showing Haze so much) and i have to day that it doesn't look too bad but it doesn't look too great either. I'm interested in the co-op but i'll wait for more reviews to see if i get it.

I'm beginning to think IGN has something against the PS3. They seem to score most PS3 games low.

I remember with Lost Planet they gave it 8.5 on Xbox360. When it came out on PS3 they complained that the game was the same as on the 360 and scored it 5.5. How does the same game get a completely different score?

Well there we go then. Lost planet was on XBOX360 for over a year before it came out on PS3 and Capcom didn't add anything new to the game they released a year ago, hence the 5.5/10.

I believe the port was quite crappy - lowres textures and whatnot, change in storyline too I think... not sure

Holy crap! Does this make Haze one of the most disappointing games this year on PS3?

No. One review means nothing, and Lair springs to mind.

IGN are useless anyway for the PS3, and the whole Lost Planet thing was abysmal. So what if it was out for a year on the 360 before the PS3? The game was identical and should have received the same score.

Lair was garbage, even with the analog control patch. And Lost Planet should get a lower score if nothing was improved after a year, who wants to buy the same game twice? I passed on it, and I loved it on 360. If there's no reason to buy it again it's got no value, hence the poor score.

As far as the "old code/old version of the game" defense goes for the demo, well that's too bad. If the demo sucks, people won't buy the game. If the demo is in fact using an old build of the game then they screwed it up and their sales will suffer for it. It the developer was careless enough to make that mistake then they'll i'm not sure i want to spend $60 to see how else they screwed up. But like i said before the multiplayer videos looked interesting so i'll definitely rent the game, but i have a feeling i'll end up glad that i didn't buy it.

Who mentioned buying it twice? Not everybody bought a 360. Alot of people waited for the PS3. The score was unjustified.

What? Why does released a year later = worse game? Lets imagine it's sept 08 and World In Conflict is released for the 360. It's exactly the same as the PC version, with its tiny faults. Does this game score much less than the PC version? Why a year later is it suddenly a worse game?

Just re-read the reviews. They spend most of it complaining about how it's exactly the same as the 360 version then say it looks like it's a bit pixelated as if the filtering is wrong. OK so score the graphics down a bit, but they don't they lower the scores for everything. After going on about it being the same.

I tend to agree with IGN 98% of the time, so I am going to say they are probably right on about this game.

Also to be honest, if they seem to be extra harsh on this game, they very well probably should be. For awhile Haze was being touted as a killer exclusive for the PS3, and if it is indeed not, some people are going to be let down, myself included as I expected that killer exclusive. So they are possibly measuring the game up the the expectations that were promised with it's release, which is only understandable.

With that said, it is next to come in my GameFly queue, a spot is wide open for it's delivery, so I will judge for myself.

same here. i'm pretty disappointed with this game. it looked like it had a lot of potential when it was first shown, but all the delays were bad signs. i found the demo ok, and the 4 player co-op seemed fun, so that's most likely all i'll play when this comes.

i was hoping that this would be a game to hold me over until MGS4 came out, but i guess not. at least it'll give me some time to complete MGS 2 and 3. :)

I think people expected this game to be much more than it is and they were just extremely disappointed. I find it quite insulting that the developers could even think it would be a Halo 3 killer....They are either extremely arrogant or just plain stupid. People like these should just be ignored and not supported. They get everyone excited then they deliver crap. I am a huge fan of Ubisoft titles and I was very angry to see this massive failure :no: Oh well, maybe next time.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
