What's the exclusivity status on this game? Are there any contracts in place? I was wondering if they might want to release on more platforms simultaneously.

 It was supposed to be released on 360 and PC but it got cancelled.

Why in the world do they keep delaying it?

Might as well cancel it or make it a 360 exclusive, they need those badly.

They are now in MGS4 and GT4 release territory, any later and thy risk competing with Killzone2 or Resistance2 and either way HAze gets crushed.

Here hoping for May or early April before GTA.

I knew this game was in serious trouble when ads were hitting game magazines in November, only to have an announcement that the game was delayed shortly afterward.

I work in the advertising business. If you're running ads (which are finalized nearly a month in advance and sent to the magazine's production guys for print) and then the product gets delayed, something seriously went to hell in a handbasket.

Yeah, I definitely agree. Something seriously wrong must've occurred suddenly or this game was never very good to begin with. I've loved Free Radical's other games last generation, but I also liked Factor 5's stuff on the GC as well. Does the development of this game remind anyone else of Lair?


Yup.

No, it's hyped because it's developed by Free Radical, a highly respected development studio.

However, Lair has shown us that people shouldn't put too much faith in a developer's history.

Lair suffered from heavy technical issue
that is not the case of Haze

(If u want to compare something to Lair ==> Lost Odyssey)



Time to Work !

maybe they delayed the game to make it multiplatform for xbox360 and PS3 makes business sense if they want to make there development cost back.

This is the least interesting PS3 exclusive of the year, in my opinion.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

 What is that supposed to mean, look at games like No More Heroes and Zack & Wiki they were being hyped because they were on Wii. 

But Haze???? I'd say it's not hyped because it's on PS3.


 Zack and Wiki got plenty of hype independant of the Wii. It was the return of the point and click adventure game that brought most of its hype. No More Heroes is a good example though I think. If Haze or NMH were not exclusive to their respective systems there would be a lot less hype about them. The problems of both games would seem a lot worse if they were out there to be experienced on every console.
