Ubisoft Delays Haze To 2008

Ubisoft announced its financial results today, which were up, for those who care about such things, issuing delays for a pair of games at the same time. Haze, a PlayStation 3 "exclusive" first person shooter developed by Free Radical Design of TimeSplitters fame, will not ship this calendar year as planned, instead moving to the first quarter of 2008. This has no impact on Sierra's TimeShift, which apparently is on schedule, but the two are inextricably tethered in my mind.

Similarly, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, an Xbox 360 "exclusive" will ship after the first quarter of 2008, delayed by an unspecified amount.

Another PS3 exclusive delayed. I'm honestly not surprised, this happens so often now, it's ridiculous.

Good: One more game to make an amazing year for PS3.
Bad: This year isn't gonna be all that great. I probably won't get Haze, I'd rather get Devil May Cry 4 for my birthday, and MGS4 March (or whenever the hell it's released).

2008 isn't that far away, tbh.

I still hope they reconsider and put it out on 360 aswell. The game looks awesome :(

I'd say it's more of a planned thing now, Delay the games til 2008, gives them time to sort of bugs and stuff, and also makes the year look better for the PS3.

Honestly, it's getting retarded now. Only goes to show that PS3 is indeed harder to develop for.

The PS3 is definitely harder to develop for, Because of the Cell and the SPE's but once devs get used to it they should be able to produce some amazing games. Just look at Uncharted.

off topic: Why did this dude get banned, btw?

That and after Christmas, more people will have PS3s hence more sales for the game.

This IS Ubisoft and early on they said they would delay their PS3 projects until the sales pick up.

The internet went into doom and gloom for PS3...AGAIN.
But then PS3 gets Haze as exclusive announced.

That's just my input on the situation, don't really care about the game although coming from Free Radical makes me interested, the videos I saw were way too "meh".


And on MGS4: It's Hideo Kojima.
He'll ONLY release it when the game is perfect so for all we know it's still 2 years away lol
But of course no true fan cares about MGS4 delays because every MGS games takes your high expectations and shits on them lol

So yeah, I'm chilled about MGS4.
REALLY looking forward to it but don't care when it comes as long as it comes perfect.

More difficult, but more rewarding according to Infinity Ward (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php? id=176088).

If you're only developing for one system then the difficulty is irrelevant. This is what you're working with, get on with it.

Well some good news is Unreal Tournament 3 will be available before Christmas....

ummmm wtf? Link?

[Fry]

google it, cant post links atm because i'm posting from my PSP.

@Scon, That article makes no sense. The PS3 version of COD4 only supports 18 players online. Yet the article says it supports 24......

haze does look amazing but it sucks its been delayed.
