Haze will call you a "pussy"

What else do they say in your game dudes, do they say ****? That would be totally rad. Why is this a talking point of a game? Just put it in there and let it be.
 
If some dude calls me a pussy, I'm not going to feel bad at all when I put a bullet through his bee helmet.

Exactly. It's not like this is real warfare, it's a game, the guy on my squad says shit to me, and i'll pop one on his yellow head.
 
AltogetherAndrews said:
Yeah, that's exactly what they are saying. You nailed it.

sorry to hurt your feelings Brimstone...er, I mean AltogetherAndrews.

Between this and their spiel regarding the moral complexities of the game earlier, they sound like they're making a soap opera, not a shooter. And yeah, when the dev makes a big deal out of people calling the player a pussy, it makes me suspect they have no idea how to create either a serious story line or immerse the player. It's ham-handed and juvenile, and being publicized purely for attention-grabbing shock tactics. If the game is so good, why are they having to hype it by talking a bunch of bullshit? Can't it stand on its own?
 
Free Radical is like an attention-seeking little whore. Nobody even cares about your game, yet you force yourself into the news by being offensive or calling out other games (Halo 3).
 
GAF needs to stop falling for this HAZE developer crap. We can thank Dyack and Cliffy and Jaffe for these outbursts, as long as we keep humoring them with megathreads when developers act a damn fool. I hope for the best with HAZE, but its time this game puts up or shuts up. Dyack / Cliffy / and Jaffe at least have mega-titles behind there babble.

This is exactly what they want us doing, quit falling right into their little traps.
So far all I know about HAZE is that the developer envies HALO 3's 12 inch ****. Made relevant by like a 15 page thread of foolishness ingited by some troll at Halo3 from the developer of Haze. Its like we've played right into their hands.

Put these guys on ignore, and stop posting their bullshit. Seriously, anyone of us would have been banned for making the same comments about halo3, so lets just ban these developers. LOCK IT UP!

They are not making a big deal about it. That is the section Games Radar decided to highlight in their preview. The point is that, since you are working on a team, your skills and actions will be judged and even mocked. How is that a bad thing?
 
I've never read so much BS hatred in my life.

Free Radical have amazing pedigree. From Goldeneye to Timesplitters.

My thoughts on why some of GAF might hate HAZE so much:

1) FR were slightly negative about Halo
2) PS3 is the lead platform (360 fanboys get away with trolling because it's likely coming to 360 eventually)
3) Basing all their thoughts on one certain Gamersyde interview
4) The game is actually shit?
5) People have a smaller memory than VIC 20 and have forgotten all about Goldeneye and Timesplitters

I thought Rare made Goldeneye?

And timespliters is far from an amazing game. It's a good game... .

Some people from Rare's GE team left to form Free Radical. It's not fair to say that the developer of GE and TS are the same, but there are some people who were behind both games.

Oldschoolgamer said:
Free Radical is the team that made Goldeneye.

Nope, just a few people from that team left.

Martin Hollis, who was the Producer and Director of Goldeneye, actually left to form Zoonami.
 
Merovingian said:

Some of the team moved on to Free Radical, right before Timesplitters 1.
 
Oldschoolgamer said:

I thought Free Radical had the lead designers of Goldeneye....not the whole team?

Not to mention, that doesn't say shit right? Is it me or people around here trash other Devs with "amazing" pedigree!?

It's not like Timesplitters was goldeneye. Goldeneye was made back in the N64 days...

It seems Ubisoft's marketting has worked.

Anyone in this thread actually play the game yet? Thought so - now shut the hell up.

Yeah, well we could say the same thing to the developers to!

Since when was GAF more concerned with PR / Hype / Advertising instead of gameplay/ graphics.

Why even make assumptions? We told you exactly why we are irritated. Read 3/4's of the thread.

I'm sure they have played the game. These interviews were conducting during Ubidays. Did you expect them to not say anything?
 
Merovingian said:
Oh.

Well i guess that pretty much destroys the "It's the team that made Goldeneye" argument then.

People honestly believe that 99% of Rare left after they were sold to Microsoft. This is not the case. A few people did leave, though, and formed Free Radical, Zoonami and Eight Wonder.

Because soldiers in the field rarely mock one another in the middle of a firefight? Because making a point to tell an interviewer that in your game you get called a pussy suggests the interviewee is, in fact, making a big deal out of it? I don't think Games Radar made them use those words, or pushed them into saying it. The guy got on a ramble and brought it up as if it were a selling point of the game. This is his PR problem, not mine.

I've got nothing against AI that thinks less of you when you perform poorly (although I'm not sure how much fun that's going to be for the player), but the devs are clearly going out of their way to drum up some publicity by talking all sorts of trash, and that just suggests to me that they a) have no clue how to do the game they claim to be doing and b) think the game can't stand on its own merit.

This game is at the put up or shut up point.

Even funnier/ironic is how many people are ready to defend a game that mocks you for playing badly, I thought live was so full of 12 year old racists as it is, and ruins play experiences..... now let's all give lip service to a single player game that insults you.

Stop falling into this PR hype trap.

I wish I could voice it as well as that. Thats exactly how I feel about it. This sums it up perfectly.
 
besada said:

Is this because of what they said about Halo? They aren't spewing hate. They are explaining what differentiates their game from others.

Dirtbag 504 said:

I'm not falling into the trap. I have no idea how the game will turn out and most likely will not even play it this year (I don't own a PS3 yet). I just think the hate towards this game is fueled by ignorance. I don't understand why people would be so bitter towards a four player co-op game that tries to build camaraderie between you and your fellow soldiers. Sounds interesting to me, so I'm adding it to my list of games to keep an eye on.
 
The reactions in this thread are very disappointing.

The dev is simply stating the game won't be censored. If all you do is take cover and let your team fight, I think it would be really cool for your sqad mate to say, "Get out here and fight, you p***y!"

Would it be REALLY cool? No...but there is nothing bad about it.

Anyway...I really think there are a lot of followers on this thread. A few posters bashed it so everyone followed. Every preview (that I've read) of this game has been promising/positive and the posters on the IGN boards seem to have a positive outlook on it. Why all the GAF hate?

They only hate because they announced it. If nothing had been said, Day 1 GAFers would be saying "OMG! Haze just called me out!" The Co-op sounds very promising and hopefully the multi-players is as good or better than Resistance.
 
I'm truly sick of seeing a new Haze thread seemingly every day, they're just going for shock factor to get people to read a few words about their game.
 
PsychoXBOXFan said:
Seems like there might be some ole viral marketers around eh .....

Good god, is there a sane middle ground between illogically hating this game and illogically thinking it's the second coming? I haven't disliked a Free-Radical game yet. I in fact ended up playing Timesplitters 2 and 3 much more with my friends than Halo, which doesn't mean I hate Halo either. Because of that I am really looking foward to their first game with a real budget. I'm not buying into some Ubisoft hype conspiracy, nor am I thinking this game will revolutionize the way I feel morally about playing a character.

They conducted interviews during Ubidays. Why is this a bad thing?
 
AltogetherAndrews said:
Are you suggesting that language appropriate to a situation does not add to the believability of said situation? That'd it would be just as good having everything censored? No offense, but that's ****ing stupid.



Nah, people prefer it this way, and that includes the people whining about it. Gives them the chance to rip on shit without having to consider the larger picture.

dude. some people just aren't too crazy about the game. i know that's had to believe because you're bat-shit insane for it but that's the deal. personaly i think it's shaping up great but i know you seriously don't think that this game was going to be held above others right? every game gets shitted on. crazy ol' haze included.

welcome to GAF? name me any one good game that's every been discussed on here without its fair share of hatred or dislike. you can't do it. c'mon people, this game is no different. it might make me feel bad for shooting an enemy in the game but it damn sure ain't going to change the way the internetz work.
 
Gigglepoo said:

It shouldn't take daily reminders to keep their game in the headlines. It's just glaringly obvious that they're doing this to keep their game from fading into obscurity.
