Ubisoft: Haze is PS3 exclusive "for now"

Posted on March 19th, 2008 at 08:49 EDT

Speaking in response to claims from Play.com Live that Haze would definitely not be ported to the Xbox 360, Ubisoft has clarified that the official stance on the game is that it will remain a PlayStation 3 exclusive “for now.”

The publisher told website CVG that the game would be "exclusive on PS3 for now,” implying that the First Person Shooter (FSP) may only be contracted as a timed exclusive.

Over the weekend unnamed representatives for the company at Play Live said that the game would “never” appear on the Xbox 360, and would only be available for Sony's next-generatoin console.

Sounds great! I think....

Its the usual! They will see how fair the game sells and then decide if the port costs will justify a X360 version. Thats my thought! Not based on anything concrete!

I have noticed an xbox 360 emblum on the guys uniform in the game so its bound to go over to the dark side @ some point

called it. CALLED IT!!! haha, look at the other posts. I said it every time. Haze is not a true ps3 exclusive. It looked too average lol

BY the time the 360 fan boys get it, I doubt I will care.. I will have done played it,, beat it, and be playing something new. I'm excited about haze and have my pre-order in and paid for. But its a brand new game, not a core franchise of the PS3.

i was looking forward to haze but now i'm not, nothing to do with exclusives, delays and that, just lost interest in it and now it just seems like over hyped dog ****

Maybe it'll be port to PC later on, but not X360??  Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.

I really hate when they flip flop like that!!! It is really annoying.... Why don't they just make up their minds and just announce a 360 version will be out with in the next year... H e l l they probably already have it done and like someone else said are probably just waiting to see how it does on the PS3.

The only thing thats posative about this is the fact that at least its been developed for and useing the PS3 as its primary console. What happens when we have played it and dumped it does not really matter. And the only thing thats negative is that Ubisoft have obviously not pushed the PS3 in terms of content and graphics otherwise it could not be ported to 360, unless they can scale the game down for the 360 port. Either way it still looks like the Devs have not yet come up with the goods in terms of pushing the PS3.

Sounds to me like FRD wants to keep it a PS3 exclusive but Ubisoft want it ported...

there is no proof that ubisoft told them that this game is ps3 exclusive for now. this could just be some xbox fanboyism from the site to start a rumor. Until there is an OFFICIAL statement from Ubisoft stating that it is coming to the xbox 360 or PC you should take this with a grain of salt!

this makes me sound rather silly but i dont want it now its concidering being multiplatform. its an REALLY ugly game unlike most ps3 exclusives. clearly the models and stuff have been made for xbox as well

WTF why dont they just clear this up.. I HATE speculation.. it either is or it isnt - JUST SAY IT.

Neameto i completely agree with you, this is an exclusive for ps3 but if they see bad sales for the ps3 or just reletivlty low sales then they will port this game over to the 360

posted 11:25am EDT - March 19th, 2008

If it gets ported, it will be done just in time to go head to head with Killzone 2 and Resistance 2.  Yeah, that'll go real well.

psn id: gingo.... really i couldn't care less if this got ported to 360 later as long as they have made it a great game on the ps3 and optimised it for ps3 then they can give it to 360 later if they so wish

Who really cares anyways? Haze has NOTHING that sets it apart from any other FPS besides what? Nectar? The graphics are far from anything great and I doubt the A.I. will be any better. I'll save my money for better games coming out soon, go ahead and cut the number of cars and tracks in GT5:P in half and I'll still take that instead of Haze. Take it to the 360, because I'm pretty sure that more than half of PS3 users lost interest between all these delays.

haze may have been a looked forward to exclusive once, but yes, the delays killed it, just look wat delays did to HOME, now most of japan doesant even care about life simulators.

i hate how people say they were going to buy the game, then when its delayed that dont want to buy it anymore. it makes absolutely no sense what so ever. if you were going to buy the game u still would buy it. even if it does go to the xcrap atleast we can all enjoy the online matchs, along with 4 player co-op and the NECTAR. honestly now, im really hoping some of you who say your not going to buy it because of the delays, buy it because i would really like to enjoy some online matchs and co-op with you all. ether way im going to enjoy the game, ill have a review on here for all of you once its released so that u can see what my thoughts are on it.

If I hear one more rumor about this game being exclusive or not I'm gonna lose it, LOL

jesus! what is it with these developers just say whether its a totla exclusive or not!! Its not like people arent going to buy it jus because its not exclusive and if they dont know (which i know is what their statement suggests) then just say exactly that. On the upside however at least it was made for the PS3 so wont be a crappy port and hopefully not a crappy game, got this baby pre-ordered.

I'm sick and tired of all of this news about whether or not Haze will be a PS3 exclusive and whether or not it will stay exclusive. Last week PSU had an article entitled "Haze is a True PS3 exclusive" and now this mess. I still believe that Haze will stay a PS3 exclusive as long as the game sells well enough.

 

When I went to Gamestop.com , I saw Haze in the PC section of games and there was a PC version of Haze on the site. However, when I went to Ubisoft.com, I didn't see anything about a PC version of Haze...... If Haze doesn't stay exclusive then it will most likely be ported to the PC. But these game developers had better make up their damn minds. If they are going to make a 3rd party PS3 exclusive they should sign a contract with Sony that binds there agreement so that they can't port the game over to another console.

i hope they use all the space a bluray provide and dont mess the game just to fit a dvd9 for a port later.

i thought they had made it exclusive for the reason that it would not hold back on new things that the 360 might hold it back from doing. WTF!

Ah who cares, doesn't look to be a great shooter anyways. Plus its an Ubisoft game, since when were their games fully exclusive to anything, besides 360? Heck Assassin's creed went multi-plat and I won't be surprised if thise does too.

who cares if its on the other console? it dont change how much i ejoy the game.sooo...??

Ubisoft is just trying to be vague cuz they don't want to rile up the 360 fanboy camp. This game is, and will remain exclusive to the PS3.

at long as its good i dont care

Maybe its kinda like Mass Effect 2. Never going to be a PS3 game but it will be on PC. Haze could end up on the PC. So.... maybe thats what they mean by an "exclusive on PS3 for now"??  If not I can imagine all the Xbots freaking out with excitement though they were bashing it when they knew it was a "PS3 exclusive".

posted 6:58pm EDT - March 19th, 2008

well if its only exclusive for time being then hopefully its pc. 360 is crap y the would they put it on it anyways! the consoles will never compete if 360 gets everythin

WTF? This game was said to be PS3 exclusive 5 days ago.

"Haze is a true PS3 exclusive. Posted on March 15th, 2008 at 19:34 EDT
The details surrounding Haze are no longer hazy.
Haze has had quite the development cycle. The title has been in development for nearly three years and is finally nailed down to a specific date and platform. The date, May 20; the platform, PlayStation 3. "

WTF? By the way the game is for the win!!

I hope they make their minds up. They're starting to annoy me.

That says nothing about not going to PC.  Either way, Haze went from definite buy to meh and Ubisoft can only blame themselves.

Im sick of this BS. Ubisofyt is very pro-Micrisoft. They are such Bull shi.tters. It is or it isnt exclusive. Make up your mind.

 

If the Xbox 360 comes out 6 months later they will put in extra levels and content to hype up the sales and we will get jipped with a lesser version. YOU SUCK UBI
