....I really wanna pick this up to play with my brother and some friends
Just played the demo
probably the worst POS i've played since ..... forever , terrible in every way , the graphics can be done on Xbox 1 (this game is 570p ?:lol :lol :lol ,i'm shocked)
and what kind of dumbass soldiers go to fight in the jungle with big octagonal , glowing yellow thingy attached to their arm ? it's like screaming " Hey , we are here , shoot at us!" they've never heard of camo?
mediocre , banal and boring.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I think the point of the bombastic armor has to do with the attitude of Mantel. Like, they show themselves off and build themselves up to be unstoppable. If they are unstoppable what's the point of being hidden? Its the arrogence of Mantel that you hear the devs talking about in all the videos they've made for the game.Atomspike said:

Yep. Mantel is like the Empire. Stormtroopers don't wear white for any tactical reason. They wear white to strike fear into the enemy to let them know their coming.
The graphics look like Xbox1 (except for the excessive blur and bloom effects). The gameplay is fun enough but generic and as such really doesn't hold my interest. My friend claims that the mantel aspect of the game is meant to be a full-fledged parody on the shooter genre which is why the demo played, looked and was acted so generically. Seriously though, even despite the rebel switch in the game nothing really screamed satire or parody to me as compared to other (and more clever) tongue-in-cheek sci-fi shooters.

Pretty much the only thing I liked about it were the guns sounds and the feel of the guns before scope
Oh, they should take Hazes in game XMB and make is so whenever you press the PS button in any game, thats what pops up.

If it is 576p it would be better if FR just gave up.

I've got the final game for review and there seems to be no difference between it and the demo.

Pretty boring demo... Nothing horrible about at all, it's just thats it's just so... Meh
No desire whatsoever playing the full product. The quality of the full game does not matter much when the gunply is so boring.

Booooring!

Demo was pretty mediocre.
The dialogue was atrocious, voice acting was weak (especially the main characters grunting noise), music was an awful mix of techno and orchestrated score, textures are low-res, lighting is weak, and the game has a sort of blurry look to it on my set. I could live with most of that stuff though: the deal-breaker for me was the poor combat/gunplay. Hard to explain, but much like Turok, it just felt "off" to me. It was made even worse that there's no option to adjust aiming sensitivity which is a huge oversight IMO.
I had more fun screwing around with the AI by shooting their nectar packs and making them kill each other than I did actually playing the game. But even that got old after 2 minutes.. Won't be buying this game, probably won't even rent it now.

Kind of lttp, but I downloaded this yester day and I have mixed feelings about it. I am really liking the atmosphere but I had expected for the graphics to be much better. I don't think Haze is going to live up to the initial hype from the early days. The low-res textures really threw me of and the character designs do look somewhat generic IMO. It has potential though.
Of course not. 576p may not seem like a large jump over 480p (if you just glance at the numbers), but it's actually a widescreen resolution. 1024x576 is much higher than 640x480 as a result.Troidal said:
The image quality isn't bad either. The jaggies are kept to a minimum, for the most part. The game simply has a very soft appearance (which works reasonably well with the concept, I suppose).
It's not a great looking game, as we've established, but it still looks decent.

Did someone really compare Haze to Timeshift? How much timeshifting is done in Haze anyway?

I thought Haze was OK, I am going to buy it for the online and CoOp and if it sucks, I will be the first to say it sucks.
However, the graphics are nowhere near as bad as many of you are letting on. I thought they were good, not great, not average, not breathtaking, just good. I really wonder what type of televisions many of you are playing on cause the game looks nowhere near as blurry and nasty as many of you are claiming.
I am starting to wonder if some of the hate is coming from the other side. People just love to pile up on PS3 exclusives. The game may deserve some criticism, but IMHO some of this hate is a bit extreme towards Haze.
