Haze was initially very hardcore, centered on Iraq, then Ubisoft made it all futuristic

A former Free Radical employee has revealed that HAZE was originally a very hardcore development and was very political in its nature. At the beginning, it was set in modern day Iraq with 'bush bashing' but got re-written a lot of times on Ubisoft's request and turned out to be a futuristic title and something totally unrelated.

Dudenaughty explained that Haze had gone through a number of major creative and conceptual overhauls, contributing to the development difficulties Free Radical experienced with it. "Originally Haze was a very hardcore thing. In terms of the content, the issues it was dealing with, the gore, the politics; it was a very adult game," he said. "Right at the beginning Haze was set in the modern day in Iraq and it was like Bush-bashing, a politically centered thing. It got re-written dozens of times on [Ubisoft's] request and it ended up being this futuristic kind of thing about something totally unrelated."
