With early reviews for Haze looking good (Famitsu 34/40 and Italian PSM 9/10), it came as a bit of a shock when IGN bestowed a dreaded 4.5/10 on the game in their review this morning. In curiosity, PSU.com contacted Rob Yescombe of Free Radical to hear what he had to say.

"My thoughts are "Owch". No, wait - MEGAowch," wrote Yescombe. "Haze has had mixed reviews, but even GoldenEye got a 4/10 when it first came out. With a 9/10 in the Italian PSM, and an extremely positive review in Famitsu, we're looking forward to people playing Haze and making a judgment for themselves."
Heh.

Exactly...I saw it at E3 2 years ago (running on PC and 360 oddly) and though...yay, anther no-name shooter. Nobody cared about it then...why now?

The problem for Haze is it's not like the PS3 doesn't already have good shooters.

I just received my R&C for $30 and Unreal Tourney for $20 from Gamefly. Score!

Oh, and I flipped some games for a profit.....which is always nice. I have enough profit for a couple new games, but I'm going to hold out for some slightly less expensive used ones.

Hmm... Haze is 44.99 at Fry's this week (SoCal), but it looks like I'm going to sit out yet another PS3 game.

If IGN gave it an 8.7, do you think Fry's would have charged $86.99 for it?

Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces 2008 and Early 2009 Software Line Up for PLAYSTATION®3, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), and PLAYSTATION®Network

Full descriptions here :http://www.us.playstation.com/News/PressReleases/471

First Party Software Titles Include Market-Leading Franchises and Original IP’s for PS3™ and PSP, Along with Innovative Games for PLAYSTATION

FOSTER CITY, Calif. May 16, 2008 – Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) today announced a line up of highly-anticipated software titles set to launch over the remainder of 2008 and early 2009 exclusively for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStationâPortable) system, and PLAYSTATION®Network. A mix of original concepts as well as franchise mainstays, the upcoming list of software includes more than 15 games across all PlayStation® platforms. The robust line up demonstrates the depth of content coming to PlayStation, and further emphasizes SCEA’s commitment to providing the widest range of gaming options to consumers.

"For the second half of 2008 and beyond, we will see a spectacular line up of triple-A titles and original gaming content that will satisfy PlayStation fans across the board,” said Scott A.Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. “Highly anticipated games such as Resistance 2™, LittleBigPlanet™, and Killzone™ 2, along with original content such as SIREN: Blood Curse and PixelJunk™ Eden, demonstrate SCEA’s passion to lead the market by continuing to deliver unique gaming content and revolutionary sequels to our best-selling franchises.”

This year, PS3's momentum is stronger than ever, kick-started by strong holiday sales and Blu-ray Disc™ becoming the de facto high-definition standard. Software such as Gran Turismo™ 5 Prologue and MLB® 08 The Show™ have also continued to drive PS3 forward. The PSP system also continues to shine, with hardware sales still going very strong since the introduction of the new slimmer and lighter PSP, and one of last month’s PSP exclusives, God of War®: Chains of Olympus, ranking among the Top 10 titles sold across all platforms.(NPD, March 2008)

Further highlighting the break-through year for PS3, broader online community initiatives launching on PLAYSTATION Network are shaping up to be key components to its success. The PLAYSTATION Network community has maintained its growth in popularity with 8 million accounts registered world wide and more than 140 million downloads to date. In addition to offering consumers new and original forms of entertainment, PLAYSTATION Network supports free access to community-centric online gameplay, communications tools, web browsing, commerce, and cross platform functionality with PS3 and PSP. The caliber of original and innovative content on PLAYSTATION Store continues to evolve with breakthrough games like PixelJunk™ Monsters and echochrome™, and upcoming applications such as PLAYSTATION®Home.

SCEA’s first party line up for PS3 includes the original and imaginative LittleBigPlanet from Media Molecule, along with heavy hitting sequels to some of SCEA’s most popular franchises including Resistance 2from Insomniac Games, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation from Slant Six Games, and the officially titled MotorStorm™ Pacific Rift from Evolution Studios. Available in February 2009 will be Killzone 2, the highly anticipated first-person shooter from Guerrilla Games. Through the PLAYSTATION Network, PS3 owners will see an assortment of unique and original titles such as Elefunk™, Pixel Junk™ Eden, and wipEout® HD. For PSP, franchise favorites such as Secret Agent Clank™ and Hot Shots Golf®: Open Tee 2 will make their return to the portable screen.

Below is a complete list of the highly-anticipated first-party PS3, PSP, and PLAYSTATION Network game titles due out this year and early 2009:

More FPS's for the PS3... and Socom, which is close...

I thought for sure Final Fantasy, or at the very least some other RPG, would come out for the PS3 soon... right now I see very little that would appeal to the Japanese gamer (I realize this is a US press release, just seems a bit odd).

Looks like we knew about pretty much all of those already. Siren is the only one I've never heard of.

Since I don't have a 360, this is great news: A UK magazine cover states Bioshock will be available on the PS3. It's been rumor after shot-down rumor, but this is the closest to reality I think it's gotten.



Sweet.

And it may have a few extras that are not in the 360 version.

The June 08 issue of PTOM has a list of games that are compatible with the DS3. In that list is Resistance: Fall of Man. Of the few PS3 games I have (Assassins Creed, Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, the aforementioned Resistance: Fall of Man, and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune), Resistance: Fall of Man is the only one I can’t get the rumble of the DS3 to work.

I recently updated my PS3 to 2.35 and am wondering if there’s some other patch I need. Or was this simply an error in PTOM?

Resistance works fine for me with the Rumble. You need to DOWNLOAD the update patch for the Resistance game for the rumble to work. I bet that's your problem. Try to start a multiplayer game and then download the latest patch. (BTW it's the same with Lair to get the rumble or the analog controls, except that patch can be downloaded from the PS Store)

I already have this on the 360 and would probably still buy it for the PS3 if it came out, especially if it's got some extras in it.

Is there no way to download the patch to my computer and pass it via USB drive to my PS3? I ask because I don't have my PS3 connected at all.

My GTAIV patch was downloaded when the game connected to the network upon starting up. The only indicator it's there is in the Game Data section that contains the 3.4GB installation. There's no (official) way to copy this, so it looks like that's one where you have to let the game download it. Lair has a patch in one of the add-ons on the PSN, but I don't see anything there on Resistance.

Writers of the UK magazine PSW have played the full game (their review can be found in the latest issue, which hit newstands today) and soon told their mates CVG that Metal Gear Solid 4 includes cut-scenes that approach the 90-minute mark. That's not a total, that's the length of at least one of the cutscenes, individually.

90 minutes?

I hope it's right before the final boss and you can't skip the cutscene.
