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.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
