360 News | Haze

We've already raved about how good Free Radical Design's PS3 and Xbox 360 FPS Haze is looking after witnessing a gameplay demo a few weeks back. Now the studio that was responsible for TimeSplitters and Second Sight has sent us an in-house produced developer diary video that actually shows us some of the good stuff - ie. plenty of in-game footage and some pearls of wisdom from FPS demi-god David Doak (he worked on GoldenEye dontcha know). In particular we get to see some of the four-player ...

"All people want from Haze is monkeys"

360 News | Haze

Remember TimeSplitters 2? Remember the monkeys? Derek Littlewood sure does - he's creative director on Free Radical Design's intriguing shooter, Haze. And he's so sick of people asking him "but where are the monkeys?" that he's felt moved to speak out and set the record straight. "There will be no damn monkeys in HAZE," Littlewood roars in an amusing column he's written for our friends at UK Xbox World 360 magazine. He goes on: "Not one. Not even a cute little zombified one. Or a robot one. Or ...

War vets doing games is "pretty f***ing bizarre" - Haze writer

360 News from N4G | Haze

"There are some shooters that will bring in a war veteran to check and see whether their game is enough like that time all their friends got killed, so they can sell it as entertainment. Which is pretty f***ing bizarre!" Yescombe told Eurogamer during one of his Haze presentations at UbiDays last month.

"So what we're looking at with Haze thematically is, how are we presenting war as entertainment in videogames? Because, war isn't just black and white and good and evil; there's ambiguity."

Haze will call you a "pussy"

360 News | Haze

Future-war shooter Haze will team you up with some alarmingly outspoken AI comrades, promises David Doak, co-founder of developer Free Radical. Haze's mercenary-military action will put you in some very uncomfortable situations, but if you hesitate for a second your tooled-up soldier "buddies" are going to be hassling you mercilessly. "I don't think you will see in any other game points in the narrative, in cut-scenes or cinematic gameplay moments, where people are calling you a pussy - ...

360 - Haze - Haze Preview And Exclusive Screenshots

Premiered at last years' E3, Free Radical's Haze caused quite a bit of buzz at the event. Coming from a developer with a rich FPS pedigree, with such games as GoldenEye, TimeSplitters and Second Sight on their resume, and originally billed as a squad-based first-person shooter, everything about Haze went silent after last year's big show. That is until just a few weeks ago, when Ubisoft held its perennial pre-E3 event, dubbed UbiDays.

GI got a few moments with Free Radical's Creative Director David Doak to find out everything that has changed with the game and to see what they have in store for gamers when the game is released for the PlayStation 3 this holiday.
