I mean seriously..the Name Haze...from Halo. The Guy in a suit and armour...like The masterchief...the marine type shooting etc etc. You can obviously see there trying to outdo the Halo, since its so succefull...and didn't some of the devs diss the game???

That being said, I actually quite like the look of Haze, and the visuals are stunning...hopefully the storyline is just as good...will have to wait and see. Just felt the need to point this out. BTW, What game doesn't try and outdo another, its Not a bad thing...just ridiculously funny.

Those are vague similarities, and I doubt they're trying to be similar in that way.

But to deny they're trying to compete with Halo would be a little far fetched as well.

Wow! Both games have 4 letters and start with H! Both main characters are male! And they wear armour! And they have guns!

Why even post this? This thread fails.

Calm down, kid...I'm just say, I didn't say halo was the king of kings in shooters, Of course it ripped of ideas, as does every game in some way...Like i said its a good thing, But just funny when you think about it.

Haze looks good but I feel its just a nice overlay on the foundation of a average game. I dont think the story will be worth anything and wont hold gamers interest too long after they seen all the shiny lil perks of the game.

Haze seems to follow the footsteps of the game Black from last gen, a uber hyped game that played ok and got decent reviews....nothin special or groundbreaking!

Game On...

The first of many supposed "Halo killers"

Quite frankly, many have tried, none have truly succeeded.

um.....how......Time SPlitters is a throwback type 64 shooter

WHile Halo played more along the lines(at that time) like a modern PC shooter something along the lines of Tribes.

Please Timeplitters and Halo are not similar at all.

Well seeing as Master Chief is the pinnacle of generic, pretty hard to be apart from that which is the most basic of FPS character's, which is armor and no personality.

Doomguy/Quakeguy was armor and no personality. Contrary to popular misconceptions, Chief does have a sense of humor, albeit a rather dry one.

You say that as though you know him.. as if he was real... thats just .. wierd.

Anyway.. Haze is actually deeper than you guys are making it sound. I read up/watched a few vids on it. It turns out you can play both sides of the story. Its kinda like two games in one. (different than in Halo 2, where you are forced to play both sides)

I dunno. Also, I think they added enough extra stuff in there, and unique ideas to make it seem pretty original.. for an FPS.

It sure doesn't sound bad by any means. Plus the four player, instant-join co-op sounds kinda nifty too.

Well no I haven't met the Chief personally but I have, you know, played the games. And he can let fly with some slick one-liners when the situation calls for it.

for what i know of halo when i playedit is that they didnt come up with anything orginal. they slightly expanded on what was already good. but on the note on this thread, is that its very much similar to halo and crysis.

NobuoMusicMaker

Honestly, go and play Halo. Quit hating on a game you've never played. It's just silly. Master Chief "pinnalce of generic?" You just sound like a fanboy when you come out with stuff like that because its so obvious you've never played the game. Especially the no personality part. Heck, pretty much the entire theme running through the game is the partnership between MC and cortana.

Yes, Haze looks like a Halo rip off. I mean the creators kind of stole the armor from one Halo 3's multiplayer Spartan types.

With that attitude every first person shooter can be said to be boring. Oh, except Crysis. I said it before someone else did. We all know Crysis to be perfect in every way :roll:

I didn't saying boring... I said average.

Nothing about this game interests me based on the videos. It'll remain to appear average to me until I play it.

On the subject about Haze, here's what I've always found interesting about it,

Before the PS3 timed-exclusive announcement, Haze was practically unheard of...

After the announcement, it received a hype assplosion big enough to warrant a sticky...

masterchief a super soldier in power armour with phyiscal enhancements... I wonder what those sound like.. oh wait!!

SPACE MARINES!

Anyway everything copies off of something.. calling out haze for doing it w/e it is they copied is just unwarrented.
