Forums - Sales - Battle of the Bombs - Haze Vs Too Human

Two exclusives that were hyped to the max, but met with hostile reviews and poor sales.

I confess that I paid good money for Haze upon release in Japan.  I'm not even going to try and defend it, but at the very least I could have spent the time playing worse.  I beat the single player, then got about 3/4 through in online co-op, which was reasonably entertaining.  Then I sold the game (probably about a week after buying it).  Ultimately though it was pretty poor.

I can't speak for Too Human.

Anyway, the games have been compared to one another before, and it looks like for good reason too.

Haze sold about 400,000 to date.

Too Human did OK in the US during the first week, but pretty badly elsewhere.

So which one will win?  In other words, which one will sell the least?

If figure Too Human might win it.  Shocking sales in Japan and Others, and at least Haze being an FPS meant it had some brief legs, where Too Human is some unusual RPG/action type game.

Both games should go multiplatform to break even :)



Haze was a classic. Why all the hate?

It was probably the greatest game this generation will see.

Id give it 13 out of 10

Financial loss is what ultimately determines how much of a bomb a game was, so Too Human should "win" the battle of the bombs quite easily, but I think Haze has a decent chance of "winning" the lowest unit sales title.



I don't get it.

Haze was hyped to the max?

After IGN's review and the second delay, the hype died.

FAIL topic...

Too Human wasn't hyped anywhere near as much as Haze was. Haze was supposed to be a system seller (It did have massive sales considering how crap it was).

Too Human scored better in most reviews and is considered a better, although still very flawed game.

Too Human will sell less than Haze overall because of blind fanboys on the PS3 buying it (the sales so far HAVE PROVED this theory), along with the GENERAL SHORTAGE OF QUALITY TITLES ON THE PS3 AS A WHOLE

Yeah, but it was hyped heavily before it started getting the bad reviews, just as Too Human was.

Just an animal!

Your post failed here.  Too Human wasn't hyped nearly as much as Haze.

News to me...  I'm not saying that Too Human was supposed to be one, but they're definitelly in the same vein.  But Too Human had more hype, definitely.  There had to be some sort of hype for this game as Microsoft signed up for the trilogy before the first game even came out...  Did Sony sign up with Free Radical for a Haze Trilogy?
