New release date for Haze
Out this year. Apparently.
Ubisoft has said that Haze will be out this year on PS3 - 14th December if you're asking.
A slightly baffling choice - mid-December releases have a sketchy track record, although it perhaps demonstrates that Free Radical is working down to the wire to launch it this side of Christmas.
There is also no sign of the 360 or PC offerings (if they exist, etc and so forth), although we expect them to show up on the schedule in 2008 - maybe lending extra significance in releasing the 'lead platform' version this year.
Haze is a first-person shooter with squad elements and four-player co-operative play. The idea is that you are an ex-member of a global military company that outsources its soldiers, and also uses a powerful drug called Nectar to keep itself on top of the market.
Key to differentiating Haze from the FPS pack is how you exploit the effects of Nectar with your rebel forces. For instance, soldiers high on the drug will become arrogant and ignore you playing dead, or you can simply sever their feed-tubes so they overdose and start killing each other.
It is an interesting premise and one David Doak has previously used to describe the title as a "thinking man's game".

Pretty sad, you would think he would comment on it here first before running off to Neofaqs.

Probably people who are posting ON TOPIC on a story about Haze. So stop trolling and get back to 360 story where you belong.
I'm really looking forward to this, as Free Radical have made some great games in teh past, but the december date does look iffy admittedly.

Although I suppose in all fairness they could have been showing an early copy of the game during the summer.

I'd like to see some vids which demonstrate that Haze's enemy actually have some challenging level of intelligence as sadly, they show very little of that in what I've seen so far. Odd from the team that made Timesplitters.

I wasn't aware that this game got panned at E3 though. Why was that? It looks pretty decent from the footage I've seen.

Don't get me wrong, I love Free Radical, but Haze just like a bland attempt at trying to imitate what everyone else has been doing with FPS games over the past few years and not a delightful burst of originally like the Timesplinter games were for their time.

Haze has always been called pretty generic run of the mill FPS. We haven't seen anything yet that shows otherwise. And yes... these comments where made when Haze was still multiplatform.
