Haze failed alot harder. Since there are more cows than sheep it was hyped more.

Haven't played either, but definitely Haze. The Conduits devs were unproven and there were no expectations of them, but Free Radical was a great dev who just failed with Haze.

Haze was made by a good AA dev that failed to make that game good, plus I played it and wanted to destory it, so Haze.

Everyone knew The Conduit would flop anyways.

I hate to say this bc i own the game but Haze for sure. Haze was coming from a developer with good track record, hyped, and on a console with the right audience whereas the conduit was a game for the wii (not a shooter fan's console), with so-so premise, and maybe by unknown studio so it may have had hype but it was marginal hype.

I voted Conduit because despite Haze being a bigger failure I feel that conduit was hyped A LOT more.

man...alot of haze hate..although how many of you guys have actually played it? I only played the demo which i did think was mediocre at best but its only the demo...much like how i didnt enjoy the inFamous demo too much, i went out and rented it and found it surprisingly good. Lair for example got horrible reviews but I picked it up on the cheap and played through and found the game to be not as bad as many people make it to be. So please play the game for yourself and not totally relying on just a review or others thoughts on it

Well I own it, and it was okay, average, meh. Fun with some coop during the rebel portion of the game (making guys OD is fun). I didn't hate the game but there are tons of better shooters out there and tons better on ps3. I had some fun with offline skirmish with the bots but game was a bigger flop bc higher expectations than the conduit. I agree with you on Lair too. I found Lair actually pretty decent and the complaints over the controls unfounded as I had no issues with it. I liked the motion controls

Haze was just a flop.

The Conduit was the a game that was blown so far out of proportion simply since it was on the Wii but would have been utterly ignored on the 360/PS3/PC.

haze was a costly duper hyped production, TC was a low cost indie game. And tc even turned somewhat better than Haze as a whole.Haze promised more and delivered less. Doubts? http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/conduit?q=the%20conduit : Average conduit reception = 70 http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/haze?q=haze : Average Haze reception = 55

We knew the Conduit was going to be lame, we thought Haze actually had a chance of being good.

Haze has one thing that will always, ALWAYS make it worse than just about any decent FPS out there...soldiers that are so high on testosterone/drugs that you want to throw up...and they also yell "BOOSH!".

I thought The Conduit was being overhyped just cuz it was like the only FPS on the wii and everybody wanted it to be like killzone and halo good so Id say it was a bigger dissapointment

To think that i actually hoped Haze would turn up on the 360. I thought the "play dead"-feature sounded awesome.

Both are pure rubbish, but it was fun to act like a heroine addict in Haze.

Haze caused a well-known, respected dev to crumble. The Conduit is a pioneering game by a newly known dev.

Never played Haze, but I enjoy The Conduit. It doesn't take much skill online, but it's really fun.

Both were very disappointing, but Haze was from a respectable dev that made quality games in the past. So it's Haze for me.

Well said. There were lots of high expectations for Haze... especially from game starved PS3 users looking for an exclusive to latch onto. Other than the real crazy Sheep, Conduit didn't get a ton of hype.

Everyone knew the conduit was gonna suck (and it does), but cows actually hyped Haze, lol. It's one of the worst games of this generation. Even with it's low scores I still think it's overrated.
