Haze gets hazier. Launch pushed back again

Category: Industry, Posted: 12/22/2007 at 08:37PM CST by Frank Ling, Editorial Director

hazeHaze, the FPS developed by Free Radical for PC and the PS3, seems to be on another road to delay. It was originally scheduled to be released on November of this year, was pushed back to January 2008, and now seems headed for a release in March 2008 instead.

Online retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon.com show this date as being the time of Haze being available.

This isn't great for Free Radical as the postponement of Haze for the PS3 will put its game directly after the February launch of the high profile shooter, Killzone 2. And that maybe be a hard act to follow if K2 becomes the monster hit that everyone is expecting it to be.

First impressions of Haze at last year's E3 convention were mixed and hopefully, the extra time in development for the game will get it up to speed. With Killzone 2 in the hunt for shooter supremacy, it's going to be interesting to see how Haze fares against it.

I am actually glad because i can't afford anymore games for quite a while. Hopefully more development time = a better game. This and Turok are on my list though when i can afford them.

The only time I ever hear anyone mention this game is when it gets delayed. Not a good sign for it...

Is it just me, or does that guy remind people of Monev the Gale from Trigun?
