Jealous of Europe's PlayStation Day demo of Haze? Don't worry -- Free Radical's upcoming PS3 FPS game will be available to test in tomorrow's weekly PSN update. The demo, which clocks in at about 1.4GB, features two-player split-screen action and four-player online co-op. Will the game live up to its incredible hype when the masses finally have a chance to play the demo?

I look forward to checking this out and see how the games finally progressed and if it's good or just plain crap
I've been reading about it on another site from those who already have the demo. In Europe they got it on Tuesday. I've heard mostly complaints about the graphics not being that good and it being pretty basic. Everyone has said that the controls are spot on for it though. Other people are saying that the demo released is from an older build and not reflective on where the game is now. I'll try it out for sure but I'll wait for the full version to be released and see how the reviews are then if I like the demo and have a plan to buy it.
Yeah I'm getting a little bit scared...Haze is a really good idea, and I hope the demo isn't representative of what the final build will be, but honestly, if it's not...then why release a half-assed demo?
Finally I get to try this game.
Yeah I'll download it tomorrow and see how it is...I'm really hoping for the best.
So am I. But I'm not holding my breath. I still remember Red Steel...
i'm glad they're releasing the demo. because this was another game that i was going to rent before thinking about buying, but now I wont have to anymore (assuming the demo is representative of the actual game)
main character is just too generic looking. reminds me too much of timeshift and one of halo 3's helmets.

Sounds good enough for me. I've been looking forward to Haze since I first saw it so I want to give it a shot eventually.

Maybe they just wanted to put something out there to prove to everyone that Haze isn't becoming vaporware since it was hyped up quite a bit last year and has been hitting delay after delay.

Kind of ironic since when I initially saw Timeshift the first thing that came to mind was Haze because they looked pretty similar.
I played the demo today and it's so-so. The graphics aren't near what they showed before but not the worst I've ever seen. The controls were pretty good. The voice acting is terrible as many have mentioned. The thing that annoyed me the most is not knowing where the hell to go and having to guess. Oh and get this, I was playing LAN co-op and for some reason I got signed out of my PSN during the game so the game shut down even though I wasn't playing online... Color me unimpressed and I hope the full game turns out much, much better.

I completely agree with your points. I was expecting a lot more from the demo, but I guess they still have time to improve it before the final release.
I heard something very strange today that that when the U.S. store gets it tomorrow that it will be a newer (better) build than the one found in the U.K. store... If that is true than that is really messed up. I might have to download it again and check it out.
I'm downloading it now along with the GTA IV patch, so I hope it's decent...
Didn't get a chance to try this demo. I just really hope that they address all concerns before they release the game. Doesn't it come out in like two weeks or something?
the demo was just kinda lame I thought. i was expecting the graphics to be a little better than what they were
Yeah, they are nothing like in the videos and screenshots. I haven't downloaded the U.S. version to see if there's a difference yet. I'll do it tomorrow. I have to download "other stuff" today and I have a party tonight. Let me know what you guys think if you download it from the U.S. store.
just got done playing it. it very halo-ish. looking through the settings, you can customize your emblem/logo just like in halo. less icon options, but more color options... still, nothing worth raving over. the nectar thing was interesting, and it seems more like a cheat than anything else. once you use it, you can see where all the enemies are hiding. get headshots on enemies while in nectar-mode and your nectar bar slightly increases. you can only carry 6 nectar tubes and they take a while to refill, but you can just as easily walk up to one of your friendly AI and take theirs. i remember seeing the trailers and previews of this game and i think i would have preferred them let you play as the character without the nectar... or maybe a bit of both. from what i recall, most of the time youre the guy without the nectar suit. trying out their special abilities would have been cool. i would have liked to see how feigning death actually works.
based on the demo, it's very much a rental or bargain bin game. there just doesnt seem to be much to it. i mean... the level in the demo felt very much like the first level in halo 3. it's basically a halo 3 clone for the PS3. it's no wonder why ubisoft made this an exclusive to PS3. it would have tanked on the 360.
I think most of the game you are playing as the guy without nectar, if i remember right he leaves that 'nectar army' because he sees the effect of it on his teammates, or something like that
I've been playing this demo and I really like it. I actually Over Dosed on nector and went nuts till it was out of my bloodstream. I'm sure the finally product will be very good if this demo is only a glimpse of the full game.
I found out that both demos are exactly the same and not different at all. The nectar is pretty ok but it is funny when you OD on it. My friend did when we were playing co-op so I killed him. I was getting shot and didn't know from where so I launched a grenade in that area and it was him. Xp
