Free Radical lost the plot?

I just wasted an hour of my life playing Haze and I want it back.

The game lacked everything a game needs it left me feeling frustrated and empty.

The game just made no sense you saw set pieces in cut-scenes a mile away and the boring cut scenes couldn't be skipped I don't think I've ever felt so let down how can they justify the years spent making this broken empty game?

Could be worse.

You might've spent the time listening to Slipknot.

Aye, I was one of the ones championing this as a PS3 killer app, they really let us down, it's a terrible game.

I don't for a second think that one bad game means they've lost the plot though, they're a classy studio and they'll make great games again in the future.

I've just had a listen, they're not that bad - I remember seeing them on tv years ago and thinking they were gooseberry fool.

I feel like they have, even the Time splitter games with the limited single player modes had more to them than this.

They boasted about this game and if you play it your left feeling they should of been ashamed and actually QA the game before letting it loose on the public, I'm just glad I got the game free.

They hired a supermarket baker as the Project Lead.

I've actually started playing through the game again and tempted to buy the new DLC :oops:

With all the bad press it got, I´m surprised you bothered with it...

HAZE was rubbish apart from the level set in the hotel. I played it completely online with randoms which actually helped it alot.

It has been mentioned before but the PS3 pad does not sit well with FPS - more third person action games. I did not particularly rate Resistance having finished last week, but it is far better than HAZE.

I am not holding out too much for Time Splitters 4 - I think they have a 10 year old attitude to gaming.
