HAZE Review

by Patrick Steen on May 30, 2008

haze_s1-titleimagecopy.jpg

When we first got our hands on Haze, we were intrigued by the concept of Nectar and its use on the battlefield. Still, we were worried whether this was all Haze had to offer; a game exploiting the concept of exploiting drugs in war. With that confusing thought just escaping our little heads, our mits were on the final version of the game. Read more…

Free Radical Confirms Final Haze Resolution

by Patrick Steen on May 18, 2008

haze_s1-titleimage2copy.jpg

After reporting on the native rendering resolution of the Haze demo, some questioned my reasoning that the final game would sport the same resolution. This is despite there seldom being an example of a game’s resolution differing from its demo. In visiting Free Radical’s studio near Nottingham, creative lead Derek Littlewood confirmed our suspicions. Read more…

Add HAZE to the Sub-HD Generation

by Patrick Steen on May 6, 2008

haze_s2-storyimagecopy.jpg

As seems to be the norm this console generation, not all games can hit that elusive 720p HD resolution.  First Halo 3, then GTA4 (PS3) and now the PS3 exclusive Haze. Read more…

Haze Demo on the PSN

Back in March we gave you an insight into what can be expected from Haze, the new FPS from Free Radical. Now you can see what you think with the demo going live on the Playstation Store today.

HAZE: Final Words on PS3 Exclusivity

by Patrick Steen on April 7, 2008

rob-yescombe-copy.jpg HAZE Script Writer Rob Yescombe

It’s hard to put exclusivity disputes to rest. What’s worrying is that there are disputes - anger and seriousness over the possibility of losing a game to the “competition.” There’s been buzz around Metal Gear Solid 4, Bioshock, and most certainly HAZE.

Free Radical’s script writer, Rob Yescombe, attempts to put the bickering to rest in this interview we held at Sony’s Playstation 3 Rooms. Read more…

HAZE Blow-Out: Characters, Vehicles and Weapons

by Patrick Steen on April 3, 2008

haze_midres_quad_rebel_2007august10-copy.jpg

We were lucky enough to be invited by Free Radical and Ubisoft to a Haze event in London where, along with playing through a considerable chunk of the campaign in four player co-op, we got to know the ins and outs of this not too distant future world. Follow the link for new details on the game’s characters, vehicles and weapons. Read more…

Haze Not Free For A Week, Or Is It?

by Geoff Haugan on March 20, 2008

haze1.jpg

Remember the story about pre-ordering Haze and being able to return it a week later for full store credit? Yeah, not so much. The deal, only available at EB Games Canada, looks to have been quashed by Ubisoft with claims of a miscommunication between the publisher and retailer north of the border. Someone should tell EB Canada, though. Read more…

haze_trooper_description_preview-screenshot_large-1-480pleasecopy.jpg

Free Radical’s new FPS might just take the leap as being the first that really showcases the horror of war.  We got to experience it for ourselves when we sat down with a February build of the game at Play.com Live. Read more…

Haze Never Coming Out on Xbox 360

by Patrick Steen on March 15, 2008

News coming straight in from Play.com Live in Wembley stadium is final confirmation that Haze will eternally be a Playstation 3 exclusive. Read more…

Play Haze Free, As Long As You Like Store Credit

by Geoff Haugan on March 11, 2008

hazefreecopyeb-copy.jpg

EB Games is no stranger to some controversial practices and the occasional odd promotion. Well, how do you feel about pre-purchasing a game and getting it free for a week—providing you return it for store credit within that time-frame? EB Games Canada offers this very service for the upcoming Haze. Read more…

Thou Shalt Play Haze, Eventually

by Roly Reyes on January 23, 2008

haze-art-1-copy.jpg The seemingly troubled PS3 exclusive Free Radical-developed FPS Haze has been delayed yet again. From April ’08 to March ’09 - that’s quite a push. Duke Nukem: Forever says hi.

Play TV Priced and Dated By Play.com

by Patrick Steen on December 23, 2007

playtv_sonybrandenvironment1.jpg Play.com have got their web pigeons flying at double quick speed, most likely because they are fed on the fruit off grape vines. First Haze is given a January release date, and now Play TV is priced and dated for Europe. Read more…

Haze UK Release Date Set, Only 28 Days?

by Ian Ennis on December 21, 2007

haze-20070711090323663-copy.jpg Haze is one crazy title. Not only does it look great, but it has a unique plot set in the future where nectar is used as a stimulant for soldiers to gain control of the battlefield around them. Moreover, we might get hold of it quicker than we expected. Read more…

US PSN Store Update - No Haze

by Patrick Steen on November 15, 2007

Toy Home

Well, the PSN Store update today is just a little bit disappointing. We were foolishly expecting Haze on the EU store, but they only received an old Stranglehold demo, and the US Store didn’t get much either. Read more…

Haze Demo Coming to EU PSN 11/15?

by Patrick Steen on November 14, 2007

Haze

We have reason to believe that there will be another jungle demo for download on the Playstation Store this week. Joining Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune should be a demo of the First-Person-Shooter, Haze. Read more…

Top Ten Developers - #5 Ubisoft

by James Fleming on October 28, 2007

Ubisoft’s name comes from the word “ubiquitous”, which means to be everywhere at the same time. With the many branches Ubisoft has throughout Europe and Canada, there’s a reason for the name. Read more…

Haze No Longer Being Reported As PS3 Exclusive…

by Chad Lakkis on May 23, 2007

Haze

The PS3 line up took another hit today when Ubisoft’s highly anticipated First Person Shooter “Haze” had its PS3 exclusivity rumor squashed once and for all by a developer for the Nottingham, England based video game developer “Free Radical Design”.

FRD is best known for its TimeSplitters series and has been hard at work piecing together the futuristic military FPS. When asked about the title being released only for the PS3 the developer said Read more…
