Haze PS3-only in '07

Console now "lead platform" for Ubisoft's next-gen sci-fi shooter--but still not exclusive; game to counter Halo 3 this fall, new screens inside.

With Killzone 2's release date still very much up in the air--more information is expected at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in July--it looked like there would be no PlayStation 3-exclusive first-person-shooter counterweight to Halo 3 this fall.

That is no longer the case.

This morning, Ubisoft revealed that the PS3 is now the "lead platform" for Free Radical's forthcoming shooter, Haze. Originally set for a release on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 this spring, the game will now debut solely on the PS3 this fall.

MantelCorp wants you!

In fact, the fact sheet provided by Ubisoft no longer lists the PC or Xbox 360 versions of the game, prompting some speculation that it may become PS3-exclusive. The UK Haze site for the game also only bears the PS3 logo, although the American Haze site still sports the Xbox 360 and PC-DVD logos at its bottom.

When contacted by GameSpot, Ubisoft reps were somewhat cagey. "Haze is leading on PS3, but no exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced," a spokesperson said. This leaves open the possibility that the game could arrive on the 360 and PC sometime in 2008.

Set in the year 2048, Haze foresees a near future where megacorporations dominate the planet with private armies. Players assume the role of a soldier for one corporation, Mantel, which outfits its troops with high-tech weaponry and biomechanical serums.

    Oh look, its Halo3/Army of 2 for PS3. It looks nice but why would I switch to PS3? Also, looks like the dudes are wearing a catcher's chest protector.

    So far, buying a PS3 has been a waste of money due to the earlier releases of XBOX 360 titles. Now I can justify my purchase.

    Most likely they will get if for 360, they would be stupid not to. They would miss out on the majority of the American market if they didnt put it on 360. After all game programming is a business like any other.

    I'm not gonna dish out 600 bucks for this game. Bad move Ubisoft, I'm sure a lot of people feel the same as I do.

    I hate fanboys, do us all a favour and wrap your head in plastic. I am glad that Sony is at least getting this exclusive for awhile, it provides better competition between the two systems. Anyone who can add one hundred-seventy two plus one hundred-eighty eight knows that competition between companies is great for the consumer. On my games to play list right now is BioShock (360) (i own it, just waiting to get back to my house to play it) The Darkness (PS3 - need to finish it) Halo 3 (360) Mass Effect(360) Assasin's Creed(PS3) Haze(PS3) and Unreal Tourney 3(PS3). I'm not a fanboy, because I own both systems. For anyone with any hint of fanboy in them, and for those of you who don't and want someone to agree with listen up...FANBOYISM IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS! There is truly no other reason for being a fanboy.

    SeAmNiNjA , don't you mean " was so looking forward to this for Xbox 360 so much now sony took it away." because i looked at your games and i found Haze on the Xbox 360 in your Wish List....so i think your jealous because it's coming to the PS3 and not going to the Xbox 360, until next year. So you must be a Microsoft fan-boy.
