Haze requires $GB Installation and is not HD

[SystemShock2007]

Creative have revealed that upon purchase of Haze you will be required to run an install of roughly 4GB, which is required to minimise any load times.

Lead Director of Creative Derek Littlewood has also revealed that Haze will output in a resolution of 576p and not the 720p required to display an HD image. This is nothing new though, Halo 3 and Call of Duty did the same will no real impact on picture quality.

With regard to the picture not be in full HD all i say is as long as it looks and plays good.....I will be happy!!!!

The game is quite average as well!! Shame, it could have been so much better!

4/10 is a harsh. More like a 6 or 7 /10

[SystemShock2007]

I have been waiting for this game for so long dude. Cant believe how poorly received it has been :'(. Still, will give it a rent and see if my opinion differs from anyone else :-\

The reviews really are harsh.

Unfortunately a lot of reviews are done by gamers / journos who mainly play 360 games (but also play PS3 games but not as much) and are therefore slightly biased.

I no longer listen to or read reviews by anyone in the industry but instead rely on the reviews of people who have actually played the game and are gamers specifically for that system. I know this means I won't get a game on release date but reviews appear in many forums and blogs within days of release so I don't mind being a week or so behind, but at least I'll be well informed.

I agree, I don't read many reviews now as it seems all magazines/sites do is slag the PS3 off (sometimes with good cause, I admit). People are to easily swayed by the media and I still have people tell me that the PS3 has no games and nobody is buying it!!

The fact of the matter is the PS3 is a fantastic games console, fantastic media centre, and fantastic Blu Ray player.

fantastic is going a bit far (yes i have all three next gen systems)

it has one very good game (mgs4) and a couple of ok ones i.e everyone's golf (only inc stuff here not available on other systems) and it has been out a while now

hardly "fantastic"

[VinceVega GB]

In your opinion. Mine is that it's a fantastic console.

[MVG skyshadow5]

Fantastic in my opinion too; as a console game playing system it is better than either the X360 or Wii, and, as new upgrades and additions appear v. soon will rival X360's online abilities too; in my opinion ;)

I'm very undecided about the PS3, time will only tell how well the PS3 can compare to the 360's online capabilities.

[VinceVega GB]

The only problem the PS3 has is the gaming press. Everything, and I mean everything is compared to the 360. If the PS3 decides to do something different, it appears that it's wrong.

If you take both consoles for what they are, the PS3 is leaps and bound ahead of the 360 in many areas. The one area I would give the 360 an A* and the PS3 a B is online. The PSN has a long way to go to get as functional as XBL but what the PSN does offer isn't too shabby at all, and its free.

I'm hoping HOME helps unify the whole online package on the PS3. In truth though, as I don't game online that much I am more than happy with what I get from the PSN.

I shall not be renewing my XBL account next year and that's the first time since XBL came out, over 5 years ago.
