I really thought Haze would turn out well

FRD really tarnished their reputation with this one, let us hope they won't screw up TS4 royally like this

I mean the graphics did not suck at all, I just think IGN has been playing Crysis too long...I thought the graphics should be 7-9, but the animations should be 6 and I dont know about the rest. the review also contradicted itself when mentioning nectar it says that its too easy and later on they say that they would like to have more nectar levels...I will wait for gametrailers review so I can see for myself...

The only other member I recall with the same position as me was Odion from a while back.

I did not say it will be day one purchase but I didn't say it will suck I gave it the benefit of doubt. I wasn't even gonna buy it if it got 10s only too. I keep money for MGS4 and with the extra money I'm planning on upgrading PC to 2nd 9800 GX2.


Though I am unsure if instead of 2nd 9800 GX2 (which is overkilll lol I run Crysis full with AA) I get a X360 or Wii. Though due to my PC I don't think X360 is a good idea and I don't like how you play with the Wii >.<

Next thing you know everyone is flaming me and saying it is comparable to Halo, looks as good as Crysis, etc etc.

I got bashed to hell with, and now look what happens.

[insert I told you so here]

Congratulations?

Anyway, this is pretty disappointing. I had a lot of faith in Free Radical and this is a pretty big shock for anyone that's a fan of their games. It's truly surprising, and it's still pretty odd that Famitsu gave it such a good score and IGN didn't. I'm sure they can see the visuals just as well as anyone else.

The only thing worse than this score of the game are people actually happy about it because "they were right." Was it wrong to expect a great game from a great developer?

Yes, based on the footage and information about it.

The problem is stating that it is good beforehand, then proceeding with preorders and claims about its greatness, rather saying it looks good.

It's the same way I'm still skeptic of Killzone. Free Radical isn't that amazing of a developer so buying a game without considering the chance for failure is infantile.

I wonder why no one was saying anything BEFORE the IGN review. We all played it right? Can we not make judgement for ourselves? Or does everyone have to go by what IGN says.

Same sentiment as I had before. Crap demo, but I generally assume the full version should be better than its demo.

Heh, well I'll also mention some people do like games that no one else does, of course. It's just general statements that are annoying."Day-one purchase, going to be better than Halo" *preorders*

Looking at at post history it does not surprise me in both cases.

But people bought into the hype too early. This isn't MGS4, which is a rare case in that you assume it will be near-perfect based on the developer and series.

I never read a single preview that gave any indication it would deserve a 4.5. In fact, I don't think I heard hardly any negatives about it until now. If anything, almost every preview summarized that Free Radical wouldn't disappoint. And having played the demo, the sounds and graphics are definitely not worthy of a 4.5. I've got a 46" 1080p tv and the game looked good. It wasn't amazing but it definitely wasn't worse than Blacksite Area 51, which actually scored 2 full points higher than Haze. You can't honestly tell me that Blacksite looked that much better than the footage we've seen and the demo we've played obviously prove otherwise.

This just reminds me of the 9.0 review for Folklore from IGN. It came from left field, took everyone by surprise, and didn't really reflect the overall consensus. IGN's 9.0 was the highest score that game got aside from Play, which is a joke review. This is just the opposite end of the spectrum.

Also since this forum only saves like your latest 300 posts, you can't really make any kind of really result of who I am since I am about to smack 4k, i really wish we could go back to May 2007 so I could copy and paste all my Haze hate.

Exploding trees?????


Yes. Battlefield: Bad Company has trees that explode on contact with anything they hit. Watch the videos, see for yourself. It's almost embarrassing to watch, because of how stupid it is.


I was in the beta this is not true. It was pretty fun imo. Only problem I saw with it was that the weapons did far too little damage but this problem has already been fixed.

yeah, i never bought into the hype for haze and it never looked anything special. i'm just surprised by IGN's score. they other scores sound more reasonable, but 4.5 that's brutal.
