Ubisoft has told CVG that the official stance on Haze remains that it's exclusive to PS3 "for now", in response to recent reports that the FPS will never come to 360.

Stories on the 'net today report that unnamed Ubisoft spokespersons attending the Play.com Live event in Wembley Stadium, London, over the weekend confirmed that the nectar-fuelled shooter will only ever appear on PS3.

But Ubisoft has told us that the game is "exclusive on PS3 for now". The "for now" part is what leads to 'timed exclusive' speculation.

It was originally expected for PS3, 360 and PC, but later shifted to lead on PS3, with other formats thought to follow. Ubisoft has never outright confirmed that it will be a permanent PS3 exclusive.

Maybe it's waiting to see how well it does on Sony's console first

I really can't wait to see how well this game does. I can't wait for this game, I don't why but there's just something about it.

""Maybe it's waiting to see how well it does on Sony's console first""

==> Even if the game has stellar sales (imagine 2M) it is always good to make a port on the Xbox360 to get even more money (+3M) !!!

Note : I said "imagine" ..

Time to Work !

Translation: It's in development for other platforms, but we're under contract by Sony to say that it's an exclusive.

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Seeing as how lately Ubisoft has been bitching about there's no money to be made in FPS, I very much doubt they'll keep it exclusive.

If its a six months timed exclusive and it turns out to be a AAA title, then the 360 has a killer game this christmas LOL.

If it sells well on PS3 expect an XBox 360 and a PC ports to follow. Developers can not afford to be loyal to a console,unless the are paid bribes or inducements to keep it console exclusive. Make ports and sell out to make more money.
If its exclusive how much would Sony pay to keep it exclusive?
