Rob Yescombe talks Haze, Nectar and finishing the game with just one weapon |
Ó
This year is certainly shaping up to be the year of the FPS. One of the most promising new additions to the FPS genre is Ubisoft and Free Radical's Haze (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). Rob Yescombe recently spoke to GamePro about Haze, giving out a lot of details about the game and the Nectar effect.Even though Haze is an FPS, Yescombe noted that the player's main weapon isn't a gun but Nectar, the "nutritional supplement" that can give Mantel soldiers godlike combat abilities. Nectar usage is a double-edged knife: it can enhance combat abilities, but it can also cause soldiers to go berserk when ingested in extremely large quantities.
Yescombe's comments about this is a sort of spoiler, so we'll just say that Haze is all about seeing war from both sides of the fence. The game also features what Yescombe describes as "an extremely intelligent and adaptive AI." Even though players can go through the entire game using only their favorite high-powered gun (ammo can be recalibrated to fit any kind of gun), the AI still won't make things any easier.
Yescombe also revealed a few juicy bits about the game's multiplayer mode. Haze will feature four-player co-op and online multiplayer support for up to 24 players. The coolest thing about the multiplayer mode is that it can alter the single player storyline. The same also holds true for the single player game.
All in all, Haze is shaping up to be a ready contender amid this year's slew of triple-A FPS titles. The game currently looks on scheduled for its November release on the Sony PlayStation 3.

so is this still comin out for the 360?
you know its coming out for 360 why you got to be a bother those sony fans man
Yes, its coming to the 360. Expect it to look and play better than the ps3 version, as usual. Chances are no one will pick it up though, theres better games out there.
u are seriously on crack maybe it will hit the 360 later on but as for being better than the ps3 version get ur eyes checked.
If you dont kno the game was built on the ps3 so as for looking better on the 360 as every1 knows the ps3 is a much more powerful and more superior machine for now and the future. I also have a 360 and i have some of the same games on both consoles and let me tell you first hand their are some games that look better in 360 but in the end its all about choice and content as well experience for each individual so for all you gimps bashing 1 console over the next in the end its all about the gamer and what he/she wants. those are my 2 cents.(Remember haze is a ps3 exculsive and if any1 knows sony they will keep it that way their has been no talk on porting)
PS3 sucks. 360, meh. Wii...YEA! This game would be better off on a true next gen console like the Wii rather than these crappy knock-offs Sonly and Microsoft are putting out. Or better yet, put this game on the DS to show the PSP how this game would look on the N64 but with a pen!
Damn, Sony and Microsoft, you got pwned in the butterhole!
True next-gen? Lol. That's almost funny...
Graphics suck. End of story.
