Ubisoft sent over some new screens for their upcoming first-person shooter Haze today, and we'd like to share them with you. Haze is a game that Ubisoft is so steadfastly insisting is a PlayStation 3 exclusive, that we're inclined to agree with them.
As if to position itself as Sony's exclusive answer to Halo 3, the screenshots highlight the game's four-player cooperative mode. In the game, you can play as a high-tech Mantel Trooper, using the Nectar enhanced abilities and a cutting-edge arsenal. On the other hand, you can also take the role of the Promise Hand rebel, and use abilities like "play dead" and "weapon stealing" to take out the enemy.
It's a neat touch that your choice of character will seemingly alter how the game is played, and four-player co-op is really nothing to sneeze at. Perhaps it won't be a system seller Haze comes to the PlayStation 3 this November, but it's better than watching Talladega Nights again.

-- I Second This Opinion!
All it is, is Far Cry w/Nectar & a couple other gimmicks!
I heard one of the levels, major parts of it; were "lifted" from FarCry. Ohh that's right you're working on the sequel right now, who would've thought!

As pointed out in an above post, the image has been downsampled and has lost a great amount of detail as a result. It is not indicative of the graphical quality of the game.
For those of you that actually OWN PS3s, you can download the high res trailers from the Playstation Store. They look/ play better than I expected and swayed me into pre-ordering the game.
I'm not one for the FPS genre, but it looks interesting. Oh, and stop with the Halo comparisons. For one, this game is true 720p, unlike Halo (cheap shot, I know). And secondly, unless I'm mistaken there isn't a half-baked alien/invasion/universe threatening plot. (I realize that evil multi-national corporations aren't exactly the most original material either, but still.) And to my knowledge, there is no one named Master or Chief present in Haze. (Being part Cherokee, I'm naturally confused as to whether or not he is a member of First Nations People.)
FPS share commonalities, as do all other genres. RPGS have spells, swords and the like. Puzzlers have, well, puzzles. Just because Haze has guns and co-op, does not mean that it is "copying" features; ones that are implicitly expected by the public as part of a 'next-gen' experience.

Free Radical = Game will be a blast to play...
Fuck yeah, man! I'm gonna go level up my Murakami stats!
My Murakami skills are to be feared!
Also Repost?
You think Halo was the first game EVAR to have FLAMETHROWERS?
People like you make me sick. SICK!
Regarding the resolution -- yeah, they were resized. The software we use to watermark images also happens to resize them, and I believe that was a decision made by Niero so that screens will fit in browsers better. I hear the complaints, and I'm totally going to looking at ways to post screens without resizing them.
As for the Talladega Nights jokes, yeah, they're getting kinda old. But if I do say so myself, that title was pretty damned good.
I'll give you a ring when we have to watermark 45 images at once. :D
And I agree with you on the quality, so like I said, we'll get it done. :)
