"After reporting on the native rendering resolution of the Haze demo, some questioned my reasoning that the final game would sport the same resolution. This is despite there seldom being an example of a game's resolution differing from its demo. In visiting Free Radical's studio near Nottingham, creative lead Derek Littlewood confirmed our suspicions."

Playstation.Blog writes: Hi guys, this is Ubi_Wuzzi! First I wanted to thank everyone for reading my first post last week about the demo of HAZE. Your comments and feedback are much appreciated, so please keep them coming.

Since last week, I hope you enjoyed the demo and that you did not make any abusive use of Nectar. From what we saw, it seems that you enjoyed playing this demo. Yet, we noticed that some of you found the demo too easy, for those ones the suggestion is to try the Hard mode. (You may also be glad to know that an Ultra Hard mode is unlockable in the final version of the game!) From some other comments I read, I wanted to clarify that the game runs at 720p resolution.

Now for this week's entry, I brought answers to several of your questions. I hope they make things clearer, otherwise feel free to post additional questions here or check out the "Ask the Devs!" thread in the Haze forums.
________
From k.j.khaos :

Will the game support four-player Co-op offline or just online?

The four-players Co-op mode is supported online, and offline via LAN by linking two PS3 with two players split screen per PS3.

"As seems to be the norm this console generation, not all games can hit that elusive 720p HD resolution. First Halo 3, then GTA4 (PS3) and now the PS3 exclusive Haze."

"So far since the launch of the new PS Store, European has seen it's fair share of good quality updates. Certainly, the situation appears to be much better than before and SCEE seem to be coming good on their promise that they would 'sort the situation out' by the Summer.

It would be a shame, therefore, to see a lacklustre update this week, wouldn't it?"
