Gears = a game I know is good, a game I enjoyed, and adds more things that actually looks good.

Haze = a game that feels only generic, tries to do what almost every other FPS has done, adds nothing that actually looks interesting.

One of those two games is good and is alright to buy again until it actually becomes old (kind of like the single player in Halo 3), the other game is a copy of meh games that have been done a hundred times before.


So you bought Gears of War despite it being a completely generic sci-fi shooter that has been done a hundred times before and added absolutely nothing new to the mix (Cover? Seen.)

But you won't buy Haze because of it being a completely generic sci-fi shooter that has been done a hundred times before and adds absolutely nothing new to the mix.

Sound logic.

For the record, I think Gears is one of the best games so far this generation, but it is still nothing more than a solid shooter from a reputable developer. I expect Haze to be the same.


I don't know people defending Haze thinks Gears of War applies to this situation. How many top notch FPS titles have been released in the past year? How many top notch TPS have been released in the same time? Haze is in a crowded genre so by in large people are going to be more critical of it. I am a fan of Free Radical and I hope Haze turns out well. That said, I agree that the game would have been better received if it had been released on time last year. I think that most PS3 owners would have chose Haze over Unreal Tournament. UT was the definition of a been there done that title.
