Haze demo featuring single-player and four-player co-op coming to PSN this May

     PS3

Yes, Ubisoft will finally be releasing their first-person shooter Haze for the PlayStation 3 on May 20. Like you, we're crossing our fingers that there will be no more delays. 

But if there is, at least we'll get a chance to try our a demo of the game. Ubisoft has announced today that a demo for Haze will be hitting the PlayStation Network in early may. The demo will feature a taste of the single-player campaign, as well as up to four-player, drop-in/drop-out cooperative online play.

And yes, Ubisoft are still saying that Haze is coming exclusively to the PlayStation 3, and we're starting to believe them.

Too bad this news doesn't make the game look any less generic.

Wow, a four-player co-op demo? That sounds pretty freakin’ awesome. My interest in this game has waned nearly to zero, but I’ll still definitely check out the demo.

I always have been, and remain, optimistic about Haze. As the game was delayed, I didn't so much lose interest, but the game was moved closer and closer to things I really wanted.

Even seated between GTA and MGS, I'll definitely be trying the demo. I could use a new co-op FPS to play with friends, especially if I like the nectar gimmick. The demo is going to clear up whether I like the base mechanic. A FPS is nothing if just shooting guys isn't fun.

this is made by free radical right? if the multi player and co-op is anything similar to timesplitters it will be fun to play even if its a little bit shallow.

I was wondering if there was going to be a demo for this, and a 4 player co-op one at that, pretty sweet. While it might be another generic shooter the nectar thing has me a tad bit interested. I was on the fence about picking this one up, maybe the demo will help.

Great, too bad I haven't got 4 friends in my PS3-friendslist yet :-(

European Gamers add me: mistic192

especially if you want to try out this demo in 4-player-co-op :-D

So... either they're confident that the game is going to be good enough to sell well post demo play or they're not being very smart. Big, bold move by Ubisoft, though.

I'm in the same boat as mistic...I've only got a couple people on my friends list. The problem is most of the people I'm friends with in UTIII don't accept my PS3 invite (damn lack of integrated friends list).

Anyway, if anyone one's looking for a Co-op friend (for any game, not just this) hit me up... PaperTiger201.

Ya Free Radical > Ubisoft but I just can't handle the fact that the word Ubisoft would be on the cover, I've taken enough BS from them.
