[@lutherheggs451]

Haze wasn't even PS3 exclusive, they were working on a 360 port that was supposed to come out like 6 months after the PS3 launch. Annnnnnnd then the game bombed. Some devs only launch a game on 1 platform because they don't have the money for multiplat and they hope it sells well enough for them to justify having it on other platforms.

[@CyberVirtual]

The messed up part is that a lot of people think that the Haze PSN Profile Picture is either a stock photo or concept art. With so many KZbinrs looking back at old failed Halo Killers, I kind of wish this was true. Basically, this is the equivalent of AI creating a whole game start to finish. There is no such thing as a Halo Killer but it's too bad Call of Duty as a franchise became the *"Medal of Honor Killer"* ... But Ya know Sony's reaction to the end of Killzone and Resistance was the same moment the Sony Incorporated blatantly basically said to us: FUCK MULTIPLAYER!!! Playstation Executives have told every Gaming News Outlet/Publication to repetitively say the phrase "Story Driven" so many times until the words felt like they were being shoved up our asses.

[@rocagame478]

[@sinjin8576]

If a AAA company dropped this exact game eith updated graphics it wouldn't even stick out with how crap most big games are right now. Hell it would even earn praise for being a single player liner shooter from some people

[@CyberVirtual]

@@rocagame478 True!!!!

[@CyberVirtual]

@8576 Honestly if we had a President Nixon or Ronald Regan still in office this game would have been considered a masterpiece. The War Against Drugs became a joke when every Rap Song treated weed like it was candy rather than a guilty pleasure. The developers tried so hard to write a “War is Bad” narrative with the Nectar Narcotic but this lead to terrible gameplay with too much screen blur and enemies disappearing. The exact words from Sony Incorporated when Killzone fell off was: "Fuck Multiplayer" at the end of 2016. PS Plus has been irrelevant since 2017. Conspiracy is that the whole company was suffering from 2006 Financial PTSD whenever an exclusive shooter was even conceptualized. The Last of Us Factions Sequel has been cancelled so many times even I gave up on waiting for it. Online Functionally for any of their first party titles became extinct for 7 years and I think people are getting sick of it. I have noticed that Sony has been prioritizing westernized exclusives with a repetitive formula. Another Dual Protagonist Story Driven Game with way better reviews than it actually deserves. It’s not Single Player because there’s "2 Main Characters". Playstation Executives have told every Gaming News Outlet/Publication to repetitively say the phrase "Story Driven" so many times until the words felt like they were being shoved up our asses. It seems that every company involved in gaming has a blatant flaw based on management and design that they pretend doesn't exist. If your not proficient in creating something just be honest and transparent about it. Why is this difficult?

[@LumiRockets]

Honestly I had a blast playing through HAZE's campaign back in the day, but I think it was because the PS3 was the very first system where I had the cash to buy my own games entirely independently of parents at every stage. So I got HAZE, Portal 2, Infamous 2, Call of Duty Black Ops, Orange Box, MGS4, and a whole bunch of other games. And HAZE was more or less what I expected and wanted out of the game given what I'd paid. I think this IP is ripe for a reboot with a MUCH more ambitious and polished game. Satire of hypercapitalist and ultra right wing dystopia is having a moment, and I feel like HAZE belongs in THIS era of games more than it did at launch. It also definitely needed to be better. So much better. But I don't regret playing it, and I occasionally go back to it and still have fun. Not a great game, but an okay one as long as you don't expect anything. Apply MST3K Mantra And Enjoy.
