This just sounds like damage control. Nope, no one ever said haze would be a halo killer, or that Lair was going to end the wii's dominance, or that Heavenly Sword would begin Sony's return to the throne, or ect ect ect. Just about any high profile game is touted as one if not all of the above. trying to produce evidence that anyone said any of those things would be hard, but it doesn't change the internet's attitude at the time.

 

Link?

 

Perhaps a bit of googling by yourself is in order.

There is a reason why people on here who aren't PS3 fanboys always make the joke "PS3 Domination begins..." when something bad happens to the console, that'd be because like vagabond said, every high profile game released thus far was given that responsibility and none have lived up to it. Hence the jokes.

I'm pretty sure there's a sig floating around here that lists (and crosses out) all the events/games that was supposed to give PS3 the dominance PS1 and PS2 enjoyed.

Anyway, personally I had high hopes for Haze, more for the fact that I dislike Killzone 2 and those 2 were two of the more high profile FPS this year (or was supposed to be this year in KZ2's case). I think the whole "it's from the dudes that made Goldeneye!" hyping up was a bit naive, seeing as how Golden Eye had one analog stick vs the 2 on the PS3 (one of many reasons why I didn't trust the fact that X person was making it).
