We got a chance to go hands-on with Haze in a world-exclusive at Free Radical Design's HQ. Now we're finally able to spill the beans on the first must-have title for PlayStation 3.

UPDATE - Digg to share the love

Looks Interesting - the "hot-swap" co-op particularly so. Still I think I'll be waiting for the pc version though as a ps3 is well outside of my budget...

Krikkit · 25th Aug 2007, 13:49

Exciting stuff - can't wait, hopefully the PC version will be as brilliant as the console version looks.

GamingHobo · 25th Aug 2007, 14:25

Good job as ever Joe, really captured the whole experience well methinks.

Haze could be something of a sleeper hit, though I do worry it might get swamped in the old Halo 3, Bioshock, HL EP2 malaise. Fascinated about the zoom and light effect thing with the explosion though, sounds like a really cool touch.

Digg to share peeps - it all helps.

awesome looking game!

light is being caught up like elastic debris and briefly hurled away from the explosion before being pulled back to where it started

can't wait to see that awesome effect

perhaps including a short youtube of that in the article would encourage more peeps to check out the game?

Been following this game for a while now, really gutted it's not coming to the 360 for launch.

Not coming to 360 ever actually.

DarkLord7854 · 25th Aug 2007, 18:58

I hope they don't cut Co-op out of PC version >.<

Morphine-Kitty · 25th Aug 2007, 23:11

Looks freakin' incredible. I need a PS3 now! Damn Haze and God of War 3...

And I'm fine with that

Being a PS3 owner I am finally happy to see a game that every PS3 owner will NEED to have. This game just looks too cool to pass up. I'll probably also get it on PC as well, but I know that as soon as it's out it will be on the shelf next to the other 11 or so PS3 games I have

This game is looking like it will be Halo for the PS3. Not making a comparison by no means, I am just saying that the 360 has Halo 3 which looks like it is going to be fantastic, and now the PS3 has a shooter to call it's own (for a bit until the PC version anyway

).

I'm excited. Eagerly awaiting the launch date

Crazyglue · 26th Aug 2007, 04:47

wow some of those pics really remind me of crysis... oh well, looks like a cool game.

(click for hi-res pictures *click* wtf? 800x600? lol)

DarkLord7854 · 26th Aug 2007, 05:22

When's a demo coming btw?

4DGamer · 26th Aug 2007, 06:04

Actually, Resistance was the first must-have game for the PS3 (and the next one is Warhawk imo), but Haze looks like it will be a great game as well... can't wait to play it.

CardJoe · 26th Aug 2007, 09:33

Resistance? M'eh.

Redbeaver · 26th Aug 2007, 10:14

screw PS3

gimme details on PC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks very nice! even somewhat nicer than... Crysis??? hmmm

at least this one *promises* better story and (hopefully) longer gameplay....

Neat69 · 26th Aug 2007, 11:09

ohh.. my PS3 might get some use finally. Hasn't been switched on since the first week I got it (hey its not my fault all the games suck).

M_D_K · 26th Aug 2007, 11:31

Been waiting for this title for a while

it will be the reason i buy a PS3 :P and the reason my CC gets a pounding hehe. Looks good and the gameplay looks amazing

seen alot of reviews on this and all are positive.

HugoB · 27th Aug 2007, 00:29

Resistance was not "must have" by any means; motorstorm is the only PS3 game worthy of that title imo.

Mind you, seeing as my PS3 sat in the office for 5 weeks doing nothing except testing HDTV's with Casino royal on Blu-ray, I can't really pretend anything was exactly "must-have" alas.

Still, the console's back home not serving me fine as a linux movie player box again. Yay for NAS and DivX/Xvid playback!

Haze does look set to be interesting, I'm almost more excited about this than Assassins Creed now, mainly because I've actually seen more than 2 trailers and a handful of screenshots of Haze <rolls eyes>

kempez · 28th Aug 2007, 00:30

yay a game to play on my new Blu-Ray pla...PS3

There had to be one somewhen
