Ubisoft: Haze delayed until fiscal 08-09, new Prince of Persia confirmed photo
     Ubisoft

Today, Ubisoft issued a report on its 2007-08 third-quarter sales, indicating a 44% increase when compared to 2006-07. Business -- as they say -- is good, and this is all detailed in the press release issued today. Want to talk numbers? Feel free to check the details here.

But I'm here to talk about games, one of which is Ubisoft's often delayed PlayStation 3 exclusive, Haze. Prepare for a shocker -- Haze is being delayed again, this time until "fiscal 2008-09." No reasons were given, but prepare yourself for everyone blaming it on the PlayStation 3. I think the dev team has a dangerous, productivity crushing additiction to Nectar ...

Also mentioned in the press release is a "confirmation" of the obvious new Prince of Persia title, along with new IPs, including a Shaun White snowboarding title and a new Tom Clancy air combat title. Additionally, more Petz, Imagine, and MyCoach titles are in the works.

Tom Clancy's MyImagine Horsez Coach, please.

Okay, we know that good games can in fact be developed for the PS3 and even ported to the PS3 (Uncharted, R&C, Oblivion, Heavenly Sword, etc.)... why are some of the major companies having so many issues with it then?

@BS3 Owner

I thought this Splinter Cell was going to be Xbox360 exclusive. Or was it just timed?

I read 'Shaun White snowboarding' as 'Snow White'. Now that would be interesting.

I was really looking forward to this but with each delay I have stopped caring completely. Too bad.

The Orange Box is next up in my Goozex queue, and after that, I’ve decided that I’m going to hold off on FPSes for a while. So I’ve also stopped caring about Haze. Now, a new Prince of Persia game, on the other hand...

The more they delay that fucking Haze game the longer I have to wait for Timesplitters 4 (Unless ((hopefully)) free radical has a second team focusing on that one).

I mean honestly, Haze looks kinda cool, but wouldn't you rather be a big retarded TRex mowing people down with a machine gun?

Someone should have delayed Pariah until that shit was no longer mediocre also. Ubi has a good idea for a story but unfortunately the gameplay just looks...meh. I'd probably get bored after ten minutes.
