It's a timed exclusive, releasing on 360/PC later on I think.

Can't wait for this game.

I think this is due to Ubisoft, who has been worrying about the "installed userbase" of the PS3.

The more good games the ps3 gets the more likely it is going to fail. You're 100% correct.

Yeah, that's a nice way to put it. Ubisoft put a game they want to sell well on a console that isn't selling.

This is obviously Sony's doing.

And this game is going to be big.

No it's simultaneous release on Xbox 360/PS3/PC.

I dont understand where you guys got the time-exclusive, but no wonder why I keep seeing Haze threads from cows making fun of lemmings, when the game was never an exclusive at all.

It's still timed exclusive. AKA it's coming out on the PS3 first, then 360 later.

Your link says nothing about that though

It was announced as a timed exclusive about a month ago, being released for PS3 when Halo 3 arrives for X360. Haze for X360 is 2008. They say that whole PS3 install base issue, but really, I just don't think Ubisoft wants to bother releasing a new FPS during Halo's time, cuz it WILL be ignored if they do.

I see it the same way. Sony probably came over with some money bags. Wanted an exculsive. Give them this one. Does not have to compete with Halo now and they get a bit of change from it

And this game is going to be big.

Actually, I think it's that they're scared of Halo 3, even with all the trashtalking. Haze has absolutely no chance of making a blip on the 360's radar this year. Now, on the PS3, they might even have an amplified market (since non 360 owners might be looking for competition for Halo 3)

When was it ever a PS3 exclusive? Gamespot has had it listed as coming to 360 for as long as I have been following the game. I can't remember it being on PC until recently though.

I've looked online and there is no actualy direct quote of them saying timed exclusive. The closest they say is "Haze is leading on the PS3 but they are being developed on all 3. The other two will come along."

The problem and question here is, what does this French guy mean by "leading on the PS3?" It could either be due to bad translation, but he said they are indeed making Haze on PS3 as the base console, and then porting it to Xbox 360/PC which are being made at the same time anyways.

So I still don't quite see the 100% confirmed quote out of his mouth that it's a timed exclusive. And even if it is, I dont care. There are already too many games coming out in late 2007 anyways. I just wanted some clarification from some very vague quotes. "Leading on PS3" can mean two things when you think about it.

Its definitely just Ubi trying to avoid Halo 3 and Crysis and they probably squeezed some money out of Sony in the process. Looks like Ubi is playing everyone for fools.

You have your facts screwed. The game was multiplatform first and was then made into a PS3 timed exclusive.

Haze is simply amazing. The graphics are incredible, the gameplay looks awesome and original (the idea of nectar incorporated into the story is AWESOME) and this is all coming from an EXPERIENCED developer who knows how to make great FPS games. I can't wait for this game, it will be awesome for everyone.

Haze was never exclusive ...

However it is being made on PS3 then ported to 360 then to PC ... and since the 360 + PC logo's were removed from some of the Free Radical owned websites promoting Haze and the "haze devloper Dairy" boasts the "PLAYSTATION 3" logo it looks like Haze might be PS3 timed exclusive ....

Haze, a game that none of us have played, not being exclusive is going to the reason PS3 goes the way of a dreamcast? Wow.

Even a blind fool could see that Ubisoft are waiting to see how well Haze sells on PS3, if does sell well then expect the PC/360 versions to be canceled.

That's what I heard but it could just be a rumor. It does make sense so PS3 is lacking in shooters and 360 is geting one of its biggest shooters; however, I have not seen official confirmation of this.

I saw in Splinter Cell: Conviction interview a few weeks ago with Ubisoft, that they are going to starthaving separate dev teams for 360 and PS3. So I don't think anyone is going to get a dumbed down port of Haze, that is unless that rule has just recently been put into effect.

I doesn't matter if it is multiplat. It is better that the PS3 get some games rather than lose them to the 360.
