Daft Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I can't help but shake the feeling that, without Nectar, it'd just be another standard FPS. I pretty much agree but I can see being a rebel and taking advantage of the soldiers and their use of nectar could potentially be very fun. Fingers crossed.

Domstercool Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 If you look at it in that way, then you could say the same about a fair amount of FPS, doesn't stop it from been fun though. These days people seem to think that every FPS has to be revolutionary to be fun. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShavenWolf Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 True, and maybe I was a little harsh on it. I've played through it again since writing my thoughts on it so it must be making a good impression on me. And it does get better for me each time. And admittedly it is quite fun!

These days people seem to think that every FPS has to be revolutionary to be fun. :/ Yeah.. but it just doesn't stand out. Most of my favourite FPS just have that "weighty" feel about it and they're all pretty unique in one way or another. Going up against CoD4, Halo 3, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and so on... Haze doesn't feel that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 well I've just downloaded it I'm going to give it a go in a sec...sounds like it could end up with mixed reviews if your guys views are anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Haze is alright! I don't hate it, so i'll buy it cause i enjoyed it to some extent! Graphically (i'm not a graphics whore) but i remember seeing that forest level quite sometime ago and thinking 'wow', but now it's not that amazing is it? Perhaps it's been delayed for a tad too long, thats the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's by Free Radical Design (afaik) therefore by reputation of the TS series alone it should be excellent but from what people are saying it's not... it's just fun but limited. I was contemplating getting it for PS3 but now I think I'll wait and get the 360 version, whenever thats coming out as I'd prefer achievements for playing through it even as pointless as some think they are, also I think I'll wait until it's £17.99 on play.com too and when I'm actually in the modd to play yet another FPS. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 No.We're getting what is essentially a 40GB PS3 with a copy of MGS4 in a pretty box. Ah no, sorry I meant this one- The version with a soundtrack CD and some extras. Do you/does anyone know if we're getting that? So I'm guessing the Dualshock 3 won't be out here in time for Metal Gear then too? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah.. but it just doesn't stand out. Most of my favourite FPS just have that "weighty" feel about it and they're all pretty unique in one way or another. Going up against CoD4, Halo 3, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and so on... Haze doesn't feel that special. Yes agreed every good FPS that have that feel to it... I've played the demo and yeah it was good...but I'm not going to rush out and buy it... One thing I do like is though on any menu press triangle and you can get it to bring up friends invites...then press manage and it brings up that part of the xmb plus the message box so its almost a half way house between importing in friends lists (which most games do) to the ingame xmb (the holy grail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Superlame At least I can save £30 now though. I could buy the Orange Box with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Domo Kun... if you want a Dual Shock 3 you can get an imported one off eBay right now, thats what a lot of people have been doing for months, you might even be able to find one cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was contemplating getting it for PS3 but now I think I'll wait and get the 360. Again it's not coming out for the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well considering they stress every time there's a interview it's only for PS3 and they have said over and over it's a permanent exclusive i would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hmm in that case, no cheap 360 version... no sale... so far I only have two games for the PS3... Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, I've basically only bought it for the truly amazing exclusive titles and Haze doesn't sound like it fits that bill anymore. :/ Roll on June 12th! p.s I know that Uncharted and Nina Gaiden Sigma might not qualify as amazing exclusives in some peoples books but, Uncharted was very enjoyable from start to finish and Ninja Gaiden Sigma is effectively the directors cut of one of the best games of the last generation. (directors cut of a directors cut but you get my point, it owns and on that note I can't wait for Ninja Gaiden II also :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit-Jr Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Uncharted is definately a jewel in the PS3's crown. But just as importantly, the PS3 gets plenty of quality non-exclusive games. RROD-free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domo Kun Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Only 7 listings for Dualshock 3s on ebay!?

S.C.G Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah buying imports on eBay, it's always better to buy from someone who's allready done the importing bit for you, unless it's significantly cheaper from the other country, otherwise... UK all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
