- SteveThePlank, on 10/10/2007, -10/+30I stopped reading here:
'The PlayStation controller isn't something my massive man-paws have ever been particularly comfortable with, but soon enough I was into the swing of things and I found the default configuration much better than a game like BioShock, which suffered somewhat from requiring a lot of different buttons.'
Apparently, this article was written by a retarded monkey.
However, from the screenshots, the game looks nice :) - SteveThePlank, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15What's retarded is that Bioshock is VERY, VERY simple to control, and the fact that the article writer says that Bioshock's controls suffered makes it retarded.
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Haze isn't PS3 exclusive.
- Sornos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Timed exclusive.
- WhereAmI, on 10/10/2007, -10/+18Whats wrong with Bioshock? Can't screw up Mouse and Keyboard.
Oh, 360, thats right. - nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7This might not be the best FPS ever made, but at least it's trying to do some original things with gameplay. Don't just call it "another generic FPS" before you've even played it. It looks pretty damn cool, and not having a HUD when you switch teams because you have no helmet is a nice stylistic touch. There's not a very easy way to revolutionize the FPS genre (Bioshock is like... half FPS, IMO). At least they're trying to do some new things.
- nublet, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12i own a ps3, but i'm sorry, haze is going to suck. it has generic written all over it =/
- alx1507, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Looks like a decent game, but making a crack at bioshock was kind of unnecessary. I could see if maybe they were the same genre they could compare the two, but they're honestly not the same type of game.
The graphics are pretty impressive from the screenshots, and the game reminds me of farcry. Can't wait to see some videos. - The_Pope, on 10/10/2007, -6/+10What's retarded about that? Anyway, haze sounds cool but it's not enough to make me want to fork out for a PS3. Happy with my 360 and its stable of titles (especially the Q4 line up!)
- cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Sigh. No. It hasn't. I asked the developers straight out. I also saw the game at Ubidays where PRs and Devs both confirmed - PS3 and PC.
- staticneuron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I prefer the PS3 controller but I will attest to the awesomeness of bioshock controls on the 360. From beginning to end the controls just felt natural I didn't have to take my focus away from the game.
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5how is it generic? because its an fps or what? The whole nector thing is far from generic, its not like every fps you play has this kind of system. The writter also make out that the game has two full blown gameplay styles so are they both generic or just one? I love the part about bodies fading out then when the nector stops the bodies are there. I cant think of any game where thats been used as a story plot or anything before. most FPS's use one way or the other not both. If you ask me this is anything but generic. Potential halo beater me thinks. Now if only i had a ps3 and a giant yell fish!
- cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No - it isn't hitting 360 at all. Its a timed exclusive on PS3, with a PC version somewhere down the line but with no date set. Certainly not this year.
It was something I explicitly asked them. - Insanitation, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Am I the only one that is sick of these over hyped FPS's?
- crazybrit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Probably not, if it's made by Free Radical. I love how much love and energy they put into their games, but it just seems like they don't have the manpower to pull off a AAA title. Maybe this will be different, seeing as it's a PS3 exclusive.

That right there is a 1080p screenshot with anti aliasing. I have never seen anti aliasing on a 1080 screenshot. This is where next gen gaming is defined.
PS. I have never seen a 360 game with 1080p res and antialiasing. If someone can find one, please post. Thanks. - dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dude you listed some great games but none of them deserved a 10 because they were lacking in the multiplayer area. Your right gears of war had a tacked on multiplayer but from the sounds of it haze's multiplayer is gonna be awesome. The single player sounds brilliant and it has some really cool concepts that will seperate it from your standard FPS and everyone is raving about how good the story is aswell. So if it nails the story and the solo game play and the graphics are cool enough then is it fair to give it a 10 even if the multiplayer is pants? It would be unfair to let the multiplayer bring the game down if your gonna give a game like Zelda a 10 the muliplayer in that game sucked you know why? oh yeah cos it was MIA.
By that same token if you give Haze a 10 out of 10 just based on the single player mode does the awesome multiplayer not count for anything or do you think we should give it ten for that too. So now we have a game thats 20 out of 10?
The same goes for a game that are just multiplayer with little solo mode, you yourself scorned Shadowrun for its lack of single player even though the multiplayer was quite fun and had some cool ideas how long was it before you took it back.
10 means perfect and for a game to be perfect it has to have everything so lacking in multiplayer instantly makes it not perfect. For the record Super Mario 64 sucked munkey nuts and Zelda was cool but certainly no 10. On a final note is it fair to compare halo with bioshock, i mean halo has a cool story, single player and multiplayer but would it be a 10 with out either feature. If Halo 3 came out and had no multiplayer im betting there would be some form of outrage and it certainly wouldnt get a 10.
I could prove my point if only i had an orange and a set of ninja stars! - cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wasn't having a 'crack' at BioShock, it was just that I found the method of switching plasmids and weapons slowed the game down even more when compared to the PC version, which is MUCH faster and more intense. Bringing up the menu is good for accesibility, but slows everything down.
- Microdot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3id say it was motorstorm personally. ive played that game for months.
- cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They have 3 AAA titles in at the moment, the only indie developer to do so. Haze, Timesplitters 4 and the Lucasarts Secret project.
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1piece of ***** article. The only must-have title for the ps3 is Warhawk
- shug7272, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7Just because someones opinion differs doesnt make them retarded. Jeez, not everyone worships bioshock.
- estvir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2.. because there is bounds of videos and information elsewhere?
- DTJunkie07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Just imagine if this was what the new Metroid was going to look like...
- vodkagunblast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This game will be awesome, as Free Radical know how to make quality FPS'es. Unfortunately it will probably be overshadowed by big releases like CoD4 and UT3. I would ordinarily be very interested in this game but there are just too many first person shooters out these days. I might still pick it up, but I'm going to be more interested in the next gen Timesplitters.
Rumor has it the 360 version of this has been canned.
Oh, and this is definitely not the PS3's first "must-have". Try Warhawk, Resistance, the new Ratchet and Clank or Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. - The_Pope, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Considering the author gave Bioshock 10/10 after writing SIX pages, I'm happy to believe his opinion on that one
- Sarlac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1With all the shooters we see on a regular basis on every system, why is it that no one can seem to manage to properly animate the weapons? You rarely see correct weapon behavior. Slide/Bolt locking back after last shot in magazine, etc...
What's up with that? Doesn't that bother anyone else?
And don't give me this "What is correct for a fantasy weapon?" B.S.
If it fires regular ammo we should see the bolt pop open when each spent shell ejects.
In the just released (for ps3) "G.R.A.W.2", when you reload the magazine is not even removed from the weapon. He just goes through the reload motion. How hard would it be to actually animate the mag being removed/dropped and a new one being put in place? IMO this little oversight really takes away from the realism.
I guess most game devs just don't have the pleasure of a US Army Master Sargent breathing down their necks, making sure every detail is perfect. Unlike the "America's Army" dev team. - tektalk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3But you haven't even played it yet! What kind of ***** information can you glean from a few broad statements?
- cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sony no longer pays for exclusives and don't pay developers to do them
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/07/04/sony_won_t_buy_exclusive_games/1 - sint4x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It looks like your bitching to me
- whyteeford, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Regardless of the feelings I have toward the game (looks kinda okay, 4-player co-op is a plus though) I'm starting to love Bit-Tech. They do some awesome articles.
- diggrim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Replace Haze with Halo and I'll say you're right...new IP would be nice
- JammyJT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Games like - Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GTA (3, Vice, San An), Resident Evil 4, Super Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Star Wars KOTOR, God of War and Ninja Gaiden don't have multi-player and they deserved the 10s. Some of the best game ever are either single player or multi-player only (Unreal Tournament). I'd prefer game devs to concentrate on one or the other and not just tack on some ***** multi-player like Gears of War.
- Ignignokt01, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3Yes it is, thats what 'timed exclusivity' implies. It will be released first on the PS3, then at a later date on the 360.
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Cant wait to play this game and i love the whole multiplayer stuff mentioned in the article. Co-op gaming is by far the best type of gaming and been able to play co-op split screen and across the internet rocks. I hate it when games are missing key features such as co-op
- knowitman, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4But it isn't coming out on the 360.
- AARGH2K, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11st must have title, yeah sure, uh huh like all the others that once released gets scored mediocre. Lair, Heavenly Storm, list keeps growing...
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1also the graphics get sharper at different times in the game
- diggrim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0try clicking the pictures and viewing full size
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2The guy played it on 360 because he had a write a gameplay review. A PC one is coming up shortly.
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i didnt like the whole switching of weapons either i couldnt understand why he didnt use one hand to hold his weapon and use the other hand to use his power but i only played the demo so
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1a tad picky aint you, i like it they should defo include details like that if its not going to take too long in game to reload, i hate long reload times saps the fun out
- VocalFX, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Haze is not an exclusive, it's been confirmed by ubisoft to be released on the 360 in the 1st quarter of 2008
- cardjoe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Resistance was utterly uninspiring, it was just the first game out there thats all. Warhawk I haven't tried - Ratchet? Don't get me started. Pfft.
Drakes Fortune though? Hmm. I guess I forgot about that one. - dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1are people digging your comment because they too are sick of them or because you are infact the only one that is?
- The_Pope, on 10/10/2007, -7/+6None so far- that's the point innit
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1any game missing multiplayer does not deserve 10 out of 10. What you gonna after you complete it, you cant enjoy it properly with your mates
- TalkingBanana, on 10/10/2007, -15/+13Ok, you hardcore PC gamers are starting to annoy the ***** out of me. You all bitch and moan about the problems you have with Bioshock, its FOV and that 2 install thing, then you go and start getting all fanboy over how its not as good to play it on the 360. Well, we're ACTUALLY playing it instead of bitching, so don't start nockin the 360.
- nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3uhm.... by definition, a system can have only 1 "first must-have title"
But I have to disagree with him here, I think Warhawk is a must-have title, and it's coming out Tuesday. - brownb2, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Does anybody else think the graphics are actually poor for a next gen game? That's not to say they are crap, but not exceptional i.e. perfectly flat walls/floor, mannequin like people, a perfectly polished and shiny gun in the jungle. Or are my expectations of the PS3 too high with its cell processor?
