Weird. This page looks almost identical, but says Nov. 2007 - http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=5874
If this game is delayed until Aug 2008 then WTF? Ubi went and put out magazine ads on Haze in November, lots of them, and thats not the sort of thing you do unless a game is going to release very shortly. If this has happened then it means some major event screwed up development.
My bet is they realized that the game they had wasn't working the way they had hoped. In all the previews the drug concept sounded interesting, but in the gameplay vids it worked out to be nothing more than causing your opponents to have an overdose through different means, which isn't very interesting or unique. Hopefully Free Radical saw the problems in this and decided to give the game a major overhaul and work through the drug concept to something worth while.
And given the (relatively) poor sales of PS3 exclusives I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with the display. R&C looks like its going to finally break 500k months after release. That sort of performance is something thats unacceptable when a game costs millions to develop. And I'm sure the performance of some 3rd party exclusives on the 360 only served to make this poor performance even clearer (Bioshock). Then again AC and COD did very well on the PS3, but UT3 hasn't done well at all.
