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.

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
