PS3 Attitude writes "You may remember we were invited up to London to get a sneak preview of both co-op mode in Haze and the multiplayer game modes.

We were sworn to secrecy about the game modes - until now that is."

UK retailer HMV is offering an interesting deal for Free Radicals' PlayStation 3 exclusive HAZE. If you're anticipating this game and you have a group of mates doing the same then this might interest you...

They are offering a 4 for 3 deal, that's right, 4 copies of HAZE for the price of 3. This is really pushing the games co-operative functionality. HAZE of course features a full 4 player co-operative campaign. However what the store fails to mention is that you don't need four mates with four copies of the game, you can play the full co-op campaign split screen.

Ubisoft today announced the imminent release of a fully playable demo for Haze, the new first-person shooter set in a harsh future where war is never quite what it seems. Coming exclusively to the PLAYSTATION Network in early May, this playable demo will give gamers a taste of not only the single-player campaign in Haze, but will also allow up to four-player, drop-in drop-out co-op play online.

Haze's release date has officially been locked down and is not set to change again. Ever. CVG is reporting that it has confirmed with Ubisoft that May 23rd is the date that the game will be available in Europe. Haze has been in release limbo for several months now, after it failed to make its November 2007 release date and was pushed to early 2008. Then, in late January, it was pushed back even further with a vague "fiscal 2008/2009" date attached.

Now, however, we can be certain that we'll be getting our hands on the Nectar infused shooter on May 23rd in Europe. Though there's currently no word on a US release date. It may not have impressed us much at the Play.com Live event, but we're still intrigued. If only to get closure on what has been one of the most confusing releases we've ever known.

Free Radical says "it's nice to be able to focus on making one thing great rather than spreading your efforts".

The decision to make upcoming FPS Haze a PS3 exclusive has enabled it to "maximises the potential of the PS3", according to developer Free Radical Design.

Haze, which sees you control a soldier powered by an enhancing drug called Nectar, was originally announced as an Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game, but was subsequently made PS3 exclusive soon after.

Littlewood explained the decision: "At Free Radical we've always had a good history with PlayStation hardware. If you look all the way back to the European launch of the PS2, we had TimeSplitters coming out as a PS2 exclusive then. Ever since then we've always worked well with PlayStation hardware. And so when it came to Haze it was an obvious decision to make. Our coders were enjoying working with the PS3 and it seemed a good decision. As a developer it's always nice to be able to focus on making one thing great rather than spreading your efforts. So we were pleased to have the opportunity to focus purely on PS3."

Following the announcement yesterday that Ubisoft's PS3 FPS Haze is scheduled for a UK release on May 22nd, the publisher has this morning released a revised release schedule that seemingly back tracks on yesterday's news.

The release date has reverted back to simply 'May', and whist that means a 22ns release might be possible, Ubisoft is no longer committing to it, instead stating that it expects "confirmation of the release date soon".

Last week MTV Multiplayer read about an incredible offer for Ubisoft's upcoming PS3-exclusive first-person shooter Haze. According to a flyer, the Canadian branch of EB Games (GameStop) was offering gamers what amounted to a one-week rental.

The flyer reads: "PLAY HAZE FOR A WEEK: Pre-purchase Haze and get full in-store credit back when you trade Haze in within one week of pick-up!"

Was it real? Yes. Is it still being offered? A Ubisoft representative told MTV Multiplayer yesterday: no.

While playing Haze at Play.com Live yesterday, I noticed in the bottom right corner of the screen that the Frames Per Second were only 30 while in game play. I thought that this was weird as most other games play around at 60 FPS now. So what does this mean for Haze will it mean rough gameplay you decide from the footage below...

CVG has responded to these new images quote, "We'd love to say it's looking better - and we would, except it looks like someone's gone to town on these new shots with a copy of Photoshop."

We will have to wait for an official statement from Free Radical an see how they respond to these allegations before we pass judgement.
