***HAZE AAA Potential***?

Does HAZE have what it take to become AAA FPS?

Set in the year 2048 in a world where Governments have outsourced military operations to Private Military Corporations (PMC), you play a newly enlisted soldier seeking fulfillment and thrills by fighting for a good cause. As the leading PMC, Mantel Global Industries offers a high-tech arsenal of vehicles, deadly weaponry, and on top of that a performance enhancing bio-medical support known as Nectar. As a result, Mantel troopers are the most feared by terrorists, dictators, and the corporation's political enemies. Your conflict begins in a war-torn country where you have been sent to fight a vicious rebel faction, the Promise Hand. At first glance, all is well, but things quickly begin to look a little strange...

Definetly not.

Haze does not have "AAA" potential,
it looks really good, and I pre-ordered it, but, for GS to give any ps3 game AAA, it will have to be the most revolutionary, unique, astonishing game with the greatest graphics of all time and no bugs.

However, the real reviewers out there will probably make it A-AA, I'd bet it'll flop on GS, since GS will never, ever, properly rate one of their marketing partner's competitors.

Uncharted averages AAA on CNET's own gamerankings.com, only reason it got an 8 on GS, is because it had the audacity to not come out on a microsoft console.

Well,
they do, unless their game is underrated on gamespot, then suddenly gamerankings counts,
like all the hardcore 360 fanboys defending Fable, I've literally seen them claiming only
gamespot reviews count, then screaming "90032er20343240234324342402 AAA on gamerankings!".
Really, people should just buy multiple platforms, and only discuss things they've seen/touched,
would make life way simpler.

Likely AA, has a chance at AAA however.

AA doesn't make a bad game tho, a really enjoyable game last year was Overlord.

well, it BARELY averages AAA. didnt they round up or something to get it to AAA?

regarding bolded statement: wreaks of paranoia and fanboyism

K, Haze is hyped AAA, I'll make a mental note.

I own multiple systems :( I'm not devoted to any of them.
Anyways, it averaged AAA, that's hard enough to do on gamerankings to make it important.
Can you give another reason why every other major gaming review center gave Uncharted AAA, and yet, CNET, with their massive Microsoft advertising agreement, look it up if you want, ranked it low? A real reason?
All of the more respected review centers according to gameranking.com's own respect ratings gave it AAA.

I personally think its going to struggle to get in the AAs.

It just looks so mediocre.

Avg Ratio: 90% Based On 66 Media Outlets

that's a copypaste from gamerankings.com...that's AAA.
IGN, which is a real unbias review source, has ranked several ps3 titles AAA, including Folklore,
I doubt MS feels it's in competition with the Wii, every move it makes is direct towards sony.

GS forums are the best, the reviews are the worst, heck, uncharted even got AAA in
game industry news, so, you know.

You should try it sometime :D Your opinion will change.

Gamespot underates every ps3 game, this has been firmly established.

I owned a 360 :| Own a Wii, a PC and a ps3 :| I'm looking at it from a completely unbias view.

Thanks to 2007, the genre standards have rissen to all time heights and I srsly doubt this game will be triple-a compared to all the ACE shooters we have last year.Pro_wrestler

Very True, I think if it was released at PS3 launch it would of done well with ratings and also sold well, now...probably not. It is probably going to be AA, I think it could be AAA if they changed the pace a bit(from the video it seemed sort of boring).

I'm not a fan of GS's reviews,but they got it spot on with Uncharted.That games is not AAA material IMO.Its basically a rehash of games from the previous gen with some great graphics thrown in,it would have been criminal for GS to give it AAA,the same way it would have been criminal to give PDZ AAA.....oh wait.....:cry:

on metacritic its 88. and cows use gamerankings cause they rounded uncharteds score up. it was like 89% before

AAA from every other major gaming review center? really? let see:

Playstation official magazine - AA (i know its not as big as the others, but the fact that its got playstation in the name is funny)

gamespot - AA

gamepro - AA

egm - AA

1up - AA

gameinformer - AA

hm... what other major gaming review centers are you talking about?

the only ones i see giving it AAA are:

ign(us, not uk)

gamespy

thats pretty much the only ones that you can trust. (play magazine gave it a perfect score, lol. noone trusts them)

haze has less potential than killzone 2the_h_bomb

Agreed.

i also cant believe that they count Play magazine reviews as well

Every game has a chance of getting AAA. but i think it would be the safe bet to say AA. Ill still play the game though, just as a rental. I want to cut down on my Game Spending only to games I KNOW i must own and want to play again.

I think so, it is unique, it has alot of new ideas, a shooter with a story is a plus for shooters, Im looking at you HL and Bioshock fans.

It is from a respected developers who made AAA titles, GS even scored one of them almost perfect, gameplay looks promising and like what Free Radical always do, it is fast paced which is a plus for me, 16-18 players online is the perfect number, 4 co-op online gonna be fun.

Unfortunately, people are hating it because it is PS3 exclusive and delayed ( what a lame reasons to hate a game), I hope it gets AAA just to shut them up.
