Lovely bit of PR before NPD, makes me think Haze underperformed, slightly....?

Sony paid, and hard, for the ignominy of having Haze as a PS3 exclusive.

Alternatively, MS paid them not to put Haze on the 360 to sabotage the year of the ps3.

Or Ubisoft knew it was shit, then played MS/Sony against each other for extra monies since the game wasn't going to sell.

Haze is coming out for the PC and 360 later on regardless if anyone wants it or not.

Will it be the first PS3 exclusive to break 210k in its first month?

LOL - so how many people in this thread have played Haze?

I have it - its not as bad as they say - however it is VERY mediocre.

Ill say it again - you cant appreciate this game unless you have done LSD before. You just wont get it.

Haze sold like crap. One of the worst pick-up percentages for a reserved title in GameStop history.

My experience with drugs is what sort of gradually killed Haze for me. I'm not buying into the Nectar deal, at least as a deployable combat enhancing drug. There are simply too many dumb drawbacks, and even the "enhancements" are dodgy, certainly not worth the associated risks.

Man, Haze musta sounded great on paper. Hell, even I wouldn't have guessed that Free Radical would've put out a shite game after three-odd years of development.

I never read one thing about Haze before I bought....screen shots + my love for sci fi shooters were enough.

its not great, but it does enough decent things to warrant a spot on the shelf.
