With a small interview with Derek Littlewood it is confirmed that HAZE will run at a 575p resolution, in-between standard SD and HD. Read below or visit this link.

In this interview Derek explains how the demo compares to the actual game and what development was like for HAZE. Two of the most interesting points include that the demo is a slightly older build of HAZE and the actual version will have several bug fixes and HAZE has been a great learning curve for the secret Lucas Arts project and Timepslitters 4. Read here or below.

Q. Some people in the community have been asking if legacy controls will be available in the final game.

Derek: The control options in the demo are as they are in the final game. While it’d certainly be possible to include, I think it’s going to be a case of seeing player reaction.

Q. Are there any options to adjust stick sensitivity?

Derek: There is no stick sensitivity option in there and I’ll tell you why - it’s because a core part of the game is the balance between the troopers and rebels who both have different stick sensitivity. I mean, they move at different speeds, they turn at different speeds… if you let people change the sensitivity you break that balance between the two sides. When it’s taken us a very very long time to get the game balanced, to put something like that in would be suicidal for the balance of the multiplayer online.

HAZE should have been released today in the US. In the UK it should be on the 23rd. It is unfortunate the Americans get it first but there we go. You may have noticed a lot of bad reviews on HAZE. Some of these reviews could be biased. The best thing you can do is play the demo and make your own mind up.

Maybe I’m slightly late but have at least remembered to view the blog. This time the blog talks about the multiplayer. It describes how the AI works and also the drop in system. View the link above or look below.

What’s your favourite part of the online gaming experience? Is it the shooting people’s faces in? Is it the kicking of asses from around the globe? Is it the slim possibility of impressing a player with a girl’s name, only to discover later that ‘she’ is a fat, 13-year-old boy? It may be one of these things, it may be something else, but I’d bet my eye teeth that your favourite thing isn’t sitting around in a lobby, waiting for your buddies to get organized so you can jump into a game together. I mean, seriously, f*ck that.

The official HAZE game website is saying HAZE will be out on the 23rd. However FRD’s website says HAZE is out now. This probably means HAZE is in production and is due for a quick release.

Read this post here or below. Also be glad that the HAZE release is imminent and you should all have your pre-orders in by now.

Hi guys, this is Ubi_Wuzzi! First I wanted to thank everyone for reading my first post last week about the demo of HAZE. Your comments and feedback are much appreciated, so please keep them coming.

Since last week, I hope you enjoyed the demo and that you did not make any abusive use of Nectar. From what we saw, it seems that you enjoyed playing this demo. Yet, we noticed that some of you found the demo too easy, for those ones the suggestion is to try the Hard mode. (You may also be glad to know that an Ultra Hard mode is unlockable in the final version of the game!) From some other comments I read, I wanted to clarify that the game runs at 720p resolution.

For those that do not wish to download the 1557MB demo or do not have a PS3 yet here is a video showing you the HAZE demo:

FRD were given permission to include the video on their website (In good quality). Here it is:

Today the HAZE demo was released on the SCEE playstation store. It features the opening level in which you can play as a single player or with up to 4 player co-op. It also shows of some of the features such as drop in friend invites.

The demo is a huge 1557mb download. The graphics are good but aren’t as expected, possibly suggesting Free radical design may have compressed a larger file down.

It is up to you to generate an opinion. Download it on the playstation store now.

The 6th of may should bring the HAZE demo. It will contain a jungle based level and 4 co-op play. There has been no detail on if the co-op will be on-line or not.
