Its timed exclusive. Part of the standard agreement for timed exclusives is denial of any other versions. Sony even announced Haze as exlusive to PS3 this year. Free Radical denied that the game was exclusive right up until it Sony announced it.

 No they didn't.  Free Radical said multiple times that Haze would only appear on the ps3.  Whether they meant strictly in 2007 or not is debatable.

I dunno. Free Radical are the type of devs that like to get the most they can out of a piece of hardware, so they may have opted for exclusivity, kinda like Kojima and others.

Tbh, the whole exclusive/timed/multiplat stuff over the past year made it seem as if Free Radical wanted the game exclusive, but Ubisoft wanted it multiplat. Everythign FR did pointed to exclusivity, but Ubisoft kept making comments alluding to 360 and PC versions of the game. FR wouldn't back down, however, so Ubisoft declared the game timed exclusive, then finally broke down and announced full exclusivity in August, with a few comments hinting at possible other version of the game later.

At least, that's my take on the matter.

I am a PS3 user but I don't mind if they do a 360/PC version of Haze. I just hope it's a great game. Free Radical is a great company so I expect the game to be good :)

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

No Ubisoft said that Haze was PS3 exclusive. Up until recently Free Radical insisted that the game was coming to 360 and PC.

After the Ubisoft exclusivity announcement, Free Radical refuses to comment at all.

On no no. That's a quote from Soriku. Lovely fellow, and he has gone and changed his prediction.

I predicted on July 1st that PS3 would get 8 mil.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,

Naa, kojima is completely loyal, free radical even announced 360 version planned huge difference.

That and ubisoft would ALWAYS port to 360 for a shooter, or at least you would think they would.

 



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

The demo comes out tomorrow on the ps store, not that it matters to you anyway.

Wow....are you sure?

(it would be nice, but I haven't heard anything about a demo)

edit: pssshhh....it's only for the EU PSN.  I'm too lazy to make/deal with another PSN account.
