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.

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)
