Haze demo on the EU PSN store

[purbeast0]

It's about 1.5Gb and it's on the EU PSN store. apparently it's not in the new releases section and you have to look under the shooter section to find it.

If you DL it post impressions in here. This is one game I've had a slight interest in but lost some of that interest after the more recent gameplay videos.

I won't be able to try it until like 9pm EST so if you have impressions of the demo, i'd like to hear em 🙂

ah, any news on coming to the NA store? this game and Metal Gear are my two upcoming favs for the ps3!

 

[purbeast0]

i THINK it is this week coming to the US store but not 100%. I just remember hearing last month they said the demo was coming the first week of May.

But today is the "Sony Day" show in europe so I think that's why Haze went online.

If you are in the US you can make an EU account and get the demo. I have one for the JAP and EU stores so I can get all the demos. You just have to create a new PSN id in that region. Once it's on your HDD, you can play it from any account.

Wow I must say this game surprised the hell out of me! It looks a lot better than those early gameplay vids I saw. I am probably going to be buying this game.

wow did nobody else download this demo?

Too busy playing GTA IV. 😛 I remember it looking interesting way back when, I'll probably download it tonight.

I'm trying to, but it's going REALLY slow. Besides, it will be up in the US store tomorrow, so I'm sure plenty of people will get to it then.

I'll see if I have time to DL it.

I still don't see it up. When do you think it will be on the psn store?

 

[pennylane]

Hmm. I will download the demo to this this weekend.

Don't they usually put up demos in the afternoon on PSN?

purbeast0 made it pretty clear that it was on the EU PSN store, not US (though it will be today, and how to get to it.

But I'd say just wait till it's up on the US store now.

😕 I wasn't talking about the EU PSN store. I was talking about the posts saying that the demo was coming out today on the US PSN store. PSN demos usually show up on Thursday afternoons for the US store.

Right, but not usually until after 5 or 6pm eastern time, at least that's when I get them (if not later). I just thought that was pretty typical, so I thought you thought purbeast was saying it was on the US store. Oh well. I played the EU version...kinda meh.

Downloaded the 1.5Gb monster demo (only 'The Club' was bigger than this). Will install this week to see what all the fuss is about.

Checked out the demo the other night. Pretty sweet! Is it just me or does the machine gun you use feel like it was borrowed from Resistance FOM? Anyway, I'm quite pleased with the game despite the short demo. I'm reviewing this game next for AT. I'll have it up shorty after its release.

Uh, what? Who are you? 😕

I've honestly heard nothing but "Meh" reviews from people who have played it... which is kind of what I was thinking. They are pushing the fact that Korn made a song for the game (big deal?) and delayed and delayed until the game didn't have anything to compete against. I used to be interested in seeing what the game was gonna be about, but I think Ubisoft knew it wasn't strong enough to stand up in the holiday window.

i dunno ... by general standards the game is somewhat meh, i agree, but for a ps3 exclusive, imo, it reminds me a lot jof resistance (control and sound wise), which is a good thing.

it's no halo or cod4 imo, but it definitely is a solid title, and the fact it has online co-op for campaign mode is definitely a plus.

but people saying it's just meh, i can completely understand why they are saying that.

Not sure I'm following your logic. Are you giving it extra points for the sole reason that its an exclusive title for the PS3? Perfect Dark Zero was exclusive too.... Poor Johanna Dark. 🙁

no im just saying, as an exclusive FPS on the PS3 compared to other exclusive FPS on the PS3 (which I guess isn't many at all heh), it's a decent title.

i still have issues w/the PS3 controller and FPS cause the analog sticks are too loose.

At least you weren't comparing Haze to other drug induced FPS PS3 exclusives, then this game would be NUMBER 1!!!!!! !! !11 11 1ELEVeen!

Analog sticks too loose? I've never had that problem...360 and PS3 always work fine for me. Oh well, personal preference. I think I know what you mean, but I've thought controls were always fine.

Even for being a PS3 exclusive, it's still very "meh". Resistance and Warhawk (I know it's 3rd person, but it plays much like a 1st person) completely stomp this game. This game, based on the demo, pales in comparison (in levels of fun-ness) to just those two games alone I think.

"You know what I used to be? A semi-pro boxer" (or whatever). Please...that was such a sad attempt at emotionally drawing me into a game. The facial animations looked weird, and the voice acting was poor.

Who knows...maybe the demo is based on an older version of the game (I've heard it is), so perhaps the full version could end up being alright.

Maybe i'm an idiot, but I was really confused while playing it.
