Haze Not Only For PS3

May 23, 2007 in News comments 7

Many rumours were floating that Haze is a PS3 exclusive and today the developer has confirmed that it won't be just released for the PS3, but for the 360 and PC.

At Ubisoft's recent press event held in Paris, Haze developer Free Radical told CVG the game is in development for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and not just PS3 as has been reported.

During the Haze section of the Ubidays conference, the impressive-looking shooter was unveiled as PS3 lead with no other systems mentioned.

Haze was originally announced for all three systems in 2006 but the lack of any other system being mentioned for over a year, and the fact that the TimeSplitters team has a massive PlayStation heritage, seemed to point the finger of exclusivity at Sony and PS3.

This isn't the case though. During an exclusive interview Free Radical's Dave Doak told us that while the game is leading on PS3 there are also Xbox 360 and PC versions coming. Doak added that the team hasn't had any major issues developing for Sony's machine either.

    Well this means nothing really. Sure it may come out for the other systems, but the ps3 maybe out longer like 3 months and that could definitely help the ps3 sales. For a period of time. And see finally developers who isnt lazy. They said they havent had problems making the game for ps3, just shows how lazy EA, sports are.

    Haze for me had the potential to be a system seller. But now it's not a PS3 exclusive, I'll just wait a little longer for that exclusive killer app to buy a PS3 for.

      Though it may help ps3 sales if its only on the ps3 for 3 months, if you get what i mean.

        It may push up sales during those 3 months, but doubtful it'll have a dramatic effect it would have had otherwise if it was a PS3 exclusive. I'm patience enough to wait for a 360 version, and it saves me £500 quid in doing so.

    If it was exclusive to the PS3 then yea it would probably have more effect on sales then it would with being put on other systems. But even so it's a game I'm looking out for.

    Well this'll hurt the PS3. It's a shame how little exclusives they get. Damn, M$ really brung out the $$$ in this war.
