The truth is somewhere in the middle of that. Sony fanboys had the intelligence to stop hyping the game, but it was only until a month before it came out that most realized the Haze-is-awesome ship was going down. Up till January or so, the Haze hype machine was going pretty strong. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=24753 Wonderful thread of Haze predictions in April. Most Sony fans thought it'd reach 200,000 units first week, and some thought it'd sell over a million copies. Actuals? 150k first week, 310k life to date. Funny predictions: Dabus513 - 345k+ first week Daactualfact - 245k CaptainPreferences - 300k Munkeh - 300k And so on. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=13629 <-- Few comments in January about Haze being awesome (went as far as saying it'd be the next Uncharted, or Motorstorm). http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=21358 <-- Best PS3 exclusive FPS? Pick between Haze, Resistance 2, or Killzone 2. Quite a few put Haze above either. So there were quite a few people that believed that Haze would be pretty good up until the demo came out, and everyone learned that Haze was poor to mediocre.

OT here....But proof Haze was hyped as it comes is the sales figures here in the UK. A gane as a crap as Haze should not have even gotten in the top 10. I think it was top for at least a week.
Thats all the proof you need, that and all the fanboys in the gamefaqs forums defending the game like it was their home under attack from aliens.
