HAZE... The PS3 Game True to its namesake...

A TAD BIT BLURRY.
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/20/megaowch-haze-handed-4-5-review-by-ign
International game reviews has given it positive feedbacks, but IGN has denounced its quality... with a score of 4.5 out of 10! Granted that's just one bad review, but that's a review coming from IGN! It's yet to be revealed what EGM, or Gamespot thinks about the game... but most importantly: Is it worth $59!

After MILLIONS of dollars in development & many many months of marketing hype -what many has debated the game to be a HALO killer (again, like Killzone)- HAZE doesn't seem to pop a good start in the U.S. gaming review shores.

I guess until the verdict is out from REAL players ... buy the PS3 for anything but console gaming experience.... or a very SHINY EXPENSIVE paperweight.

Wow Tyler, thanks for keeping us up to date with your unbiased blasting

Personally I'm too busy playing Call of Duty 4 and GTA4 to care about Haze.

Sounds like the game had lots of techinical issues from the start, hence all the delays, but it's nice how you can blame Sony, even though the game was developed by Ubisoft!

Wow, i watched some of the previews for that game and it looked like it would be awesome. Kind of like the game Blacksite Area 51 (looked awesome but was only mediocre).

Being dubbed the "Halo Killer" is always a kiss of death. If a game ever comes along that truly fits that bill, it'll probably be something that no one sees coming.

Hey Movielover, HAZE was never dubbed a Halo killer. That honor was given to Killzone 2, which is still in development. tylerjerkins did'nt even play the game and I doubt he owns a PS3. So until then he should only speak about things he actually owns and close his hole.

I am surprised by how low this review was. IGN receives alot of sponsorship deals and paid marketing and advertising from some very big companies so I'm sure they get pressure sometimes to inflate scores to return the favor. Usually their scores for big titles never fall below a 7 regardless of how bad a game is. IGN even came out initially and defended gamespot executives after the kane and Lynch review scandal. Guess that full-page ad that ran on the IGN website the week of its release didn't have anything to do with that. Maybe the gershmann-gate saga was a good thing because it has freed the gaming journalists to really speak their mind without fear of punishment from the corporate level. Now if they try to put pressure on a reviewer to inflate scores all the reviewer has to do is expose it and gamers will abandon the publication/website like what happened to gamespot.

Yes movielover, how dare you say Haze was supposed to be the halo killer when the all knowing Tony did not dub it so.

Haze was dubbed a halo killer, the same as KZ2. Every big budget FPS for the ps3 will be dubbed a halo killer.

richiro33, yes, I like to think I know a thing or two about the things I own.[wink] But I really can't say anything about HAZE because I don't own the game. That's the problem I have with tylerjerkins. At least read several reviews before you start spewing off at the keyboard.

Actually many publications and forums including Game Informer, Gamespot, and IGN, mentioned Halo in every Haze preview. I guess they forgot to call you for comment Tony.

richiro33, according to you I'm the official word when it comes to the PS3. If what you say is true then it's not truth unless I say it. To me it's not a Halo killer. It's the games first start out of the gate. Let's see when the third installment drops (if it makes it that far).

Damn, you got me with your legal mumbo jumbo!

Sorry tony1569, apparently your PS3 fanboy sentiments could not get past your frontal lobe. Simply google the subject (haze halo killer), and forums are created regarding this debate. Tsk... tsk... tsk.

Well, for once I can agree with your PS3 fanboy rant on this. I don't own a PS3 since IT HAS FAILED so many times to delivery 1080p (quality & playable) games.

Nope, missed that one by a mile. I WILL SPEAK ON ANYTHING & EVERYTHING about any subject, just like you do. The only "hole" that relates to this subject- is the one that you're hiding on FANBOY.

ANOTHER LAME SONY PS3 GAME?!

Did you actually read the first site from your google search. No one calls this game a Halo killer. Not Game Spot, not IGN, and not GamePro.

You can't even associate the word uncompressed or 1080p with the 360. Can you even get uncompressed 7.1 audio with 360. One of the PS3 first games has 7.1 LPCM. So obviously your frontal lobe is in GAME OVER mode.

Nor did I ever mention that Gamespot, IGN, nor Gamepro calls this game a Halo killer. If you can ACTUALLY READ ENGLISH, I stated that it is being debated as a "Halo Killer" in multiple forums. WOW, stupid... and illiterate.

I'm sorry, I had to pause there for a second, as to HOW your JUVENILE mind ever come to the conclusion that I was talking about ANYTHING 360. The subject is about PS3, FANBOY... stick to the subject & you could probably graduate.

Really? You're gonna defend the PS3 because it has better audio? Well give this fanboy a COOKIE, given that IT'S THE ONLY FEATURE he can muster, to justify a $400 paperweight.... THAT PLAYS INFERIOR GAMES!

In case you did'nt see this, this is what the site said on your google search, here I'll quote it for you.

Quote:
No one that I've seen has ever called this a Halo killer. Not once. Other than the OP

Give me a site that has a reputation for video game review and a journalist. Not some person that has'nt bought the game.You honestly give credibility to what someone said in a forum that's not well known or at least by me.

Quote:

Inferior to what, 360, that's why I said what I said because you are transparent.

EDIT: Do everybody a favor, talk about a movie because obviously the only thing that you have the mental capacity to talk about is Blu-ray/PS3, neither one your good at. Challege and expand your mind. Just alittle bit.

Dude, that's not what you said in your original post. If you meant that message board kiddies were saying this console game was a "halo killer", why didn't you say so?

If they think it's a "holo killer", that's their opinion. Why did your original post make like that was the "official consensus"?

You kids are funny today.

Again, should you look PAST ONE LINK, you will notice MULTIPLE google links directing to multiple forums about the subject. Narrow minded you are....

Ah, a TRUE FANBOY... you brush off IGN's review since it was BAD REVIEW. Hence, IGN does not count as a reputable video game reviewer.

Wait! Gamespot just released their review and it BARELY MADE the "average" rating! 6 out of 10. I guess THEY ALSO DON'T COUNT as a reputable video game reviewer... since the game is pretty much reviewed as bland.

I posted FACTUAL REVIEWS by REPUTABLE video game reviewers, that states the PS3-exclusive game "HAZE" is either BAD, or barely making the AVERAGE rating. So you post your FANBOY junk that you don't consider IGN as a "reputable" reviewer since it gave a bad fanboy taste in your mouth. I'm sure Gamespot is also sour grapes to your liking, given their review of the game as being "fair".

Hey, is FAMITSU a reputable reviewer given that they gave the game 34/40? Yes?

Here's the NUTTY part: You actually defend the PS3, NOT BECAUSE FOR ITS BETTER GAMES, but because of better audio channels? I think the tunnel vision transparency has already been taken... tattooed on your fanboy forehead.

Did I say anything about a review? I said they did'nt call it a Halo killer.

Tylerdurden you're being a little harsh. Tony likes the PS3 and some of the games but he is not fanatical cause trust me, we know fanatical on this site.

Both consoles have their strengths and weaknesses, to each their own.

The PS3 has wi-fi, 1080P/24 video and 7.1 audio support, and many other things. Heck I just found out it plays AVCHD files right off a hidef camcorder!

Yes the XBOX 360 has more games at the moment but it certainly has its share of issues. Heck I was watching the Buffalo News tonight and they had this special tonight about the XBOX 360 red-ring-of-death! I kid you not. They make it sound like it's a much bigger problem than people realize.

I just checked their site and they have it up on there...

http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=57600

Just remember there are some good games comin for the PS3, it's just a matter of time.

The 'official' word on whether or not Haze was dubbed a Halo killer:



Now shut your own hole!

PS: And for the love of all that is holy!! The apostrophe in a contraction goes between the second to the last letter and the last letter!!!

Just a few facts here.

Quote:
You can't even associate the word uncompressed or 1080p with the 360.

The XBOX 360 has full 1080p support on HDMI capable units.

Also, they offer 3 years of world wide warranty because of the "Ring of Death" problem. If you have a defective unit in that period they pick it up at your house and fix the problem and deliver it right back to you at no cost for you.

Personally, I have yet to play Haze. I have a demo waiting for me on my PS3 and will give it a try as soon as I get some spare time. However, owning both consoles, right now, the XBOX is beating the PS3 when it comes to content and that is by many lengths. Perhaps future games will close the gap but they surly have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to games and online features.

My question remains, who said this game was a Halo killer? Was it IGN, GamePro, Game Spot, etc....
No one called this a Halo killer but a bunch of people in forums. Please give me on reputive site with an article saying that this game was has the potential of becoming a Halo killer. Not a bunch of links to forums.

Don't know if it is a serious site but UGO talk about it in those terms. But, the article is pretty old I think.

Quote:
...Haze is Sony's potential Halo-killer for the 2007 holiday season. It's a release which could both satisfy current PS3 owners and draw in new ones who might otherwise have snatched up an Xbox 360.

Quote:
And since Haze is very obviously positioned as "the PS3's Halo," it's going to garner a lot of direct comparisons to Bungie's game, which can only weaken its position in the end.

Thank You Henning, that's all I was asking. I did'nt comment on reviews because I saw the game shots and did'nt think it was a Halo killer nor did I hear this. If the game sucks which the reviews seem it say it does than maybe it will take few installments to refine the game.

Whether the game was dubbed a "Halo Killer" or not my point really was that the developers probably don't think that way. You can't all you can do is make the best game possible and not think about what some other developer did. I'm with you Tony Haze never looked that good in previews so I wasn't really that interested.

Falc.... tony is more than likes the ps3. thats clear. he prefers something that does a few things.. even with doing-some not so well. he talks about what people own or dont, and doesent have a 360. all his comments are based on friends/articles. ...this happened to this or the other guy.

we stat talking about poor games for ps3. then we fall into the 7.1 sound, redring of death... what tha??? is this about movie watching, video games? failura rate... this site is still entertaining, without trying to.

360 has warranty, and as ive stated before... if it doesent fail.. ends up being tthe best video game sys avail.

thanks again Henning.

Kuco, the 7.1 was in reference to video games. And if you notice I said that this game does'nt look like it could kill Halo. In fact I was giving Halo a complement. As I said before there is a 360 in my house. It belongs to my son. The RRoD comment was embellishment on your part because I never said anything in this thread about RRoD. My 1080p comment was also about games developed in 1080p. Something that's a possibility on the PS3 but definitly not on the 360. That comes from a microsoft exec.

Wrong, Tony. You need to start re-thinking your comments if you're gonna bash on the 360. The XBOX 360 is FULLY CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING NATIVE 1080P GAMES. Sega's "Virtua Tennis" & EA's "NBA Homecourt" were the very first examples of such games... and they were just the start. Praising the PS3 is one thing, but 'hating' the competing console without doing your research, is a bit reckless.

The XBOX 360 had an update at some point which enabled 1080P playback from the HD DVD add-on drive through the component cables right? I'm guessing this means it can play games at 1080P also?

Ok so they both do 1080P, GREAT.

Personally my gaming days are behind me but I'll endulge in a few every once in a while like the upcoming Socom 4 game, Ridge Racer, Grand Tourismo: Prologue 5 and I'm sure there will be others. Principally though the PS3 will be used as a bluray player in my house and I'll be watching videos stored on the external drive. I want to get a 360 cause practically everyone I know has one and it would be fun playing golf, Gears of War, GTA 4, etc with them online but I want a bluray player more.

Both machines offer some great features. Let's just enjoy them.
