Free Radical tras la saga "TimeSplitters" nos trae Haze, un nuevo Shooter para PS3 pero que para esta sera el primer juego cooperativo online, LAN y a pantalla partida para 4 jugadores completamente gratuito en PS3.
Segun la revista de PSM de Junio:
Haze(PS3)
- Runs on in-house Free Radical Proprietary Engine that looks "just as good as UE3" with HDR,particle effects, and interactive shrubbery
-First PS3 game to support four-player co-op. In single player, your three squad-mates are either controlled by AI, offline buddies, online buddies, or a mixture of the last two sets of buddies through a combination of split-screen, online, or even LAN.
-Vehicles confirmed. Will provide different roles for all squad members when in them.
-Main character is Shane Carpenter, who is dropped into a war in central South America that involves Mantel ,a large corporation that is involved with numerous businesses around the world. Particularly military arms and manufacturing, and they also have their own outsourced military, which serves as a sort of global police force that is employed to go into places where there's civil unrest and establish stability. Shane Carpenter, your character, is part of this force known as the Corporation. Another main division of Mantel focuses primarily on Nectar, which when injected into your character, will push them past the abilities of normal soldiers. Giving them self-explanatory skills such as foresight, perception, melee blast, and focus. However, to great an injection will cause them to overdose, and attack wildly. Also, from time-to-time, you will suffer withdrawal symptoms that will progress the story.
Which takes the Half Life approach to game cinema.
· The main premise of the game is a war in Central South America that involves large corporations with an large weapons R&D budgets. Then something goes horribly wrong...
· "The prized product that the biomedical research and enhancements division produces is a substance known as Nectar that, when injected, makes soldiers better fighters."
· "Due to the realistic high dynamic range lighting in Haze, it's very easy for enemies to disappear into the shadows, particularly in outdoor levels and at night. A shot of Nectar will pull them into the foreground in a halo of light."
-Free Radical, as of May last year, only had 28 members, that number now has increased to 100.
-Last year, Lucas Arts had inked a deal with Free Radical to create an exclusive title for the PS3 that has yet to be announced.
Y por lo visto, Lucas Arts ha pedido la ayuda de Free Radical para crear un juego exclusivo para PS3, esto creo que es antiguo pero cierto.
Haze no tendra tiempos de carga ni escenas intermedias, sino que sera todo directo como Half-Life por ejemplo, ademas tiene una pequeña similitud a "Crysys" en cuanto a escenarios.
No se si sera exclusivo de PS3, pero en la pagina web oficial solo aparece el logo de Playstation 3 entre las plataformas en las que deberia salir, pero vamos que sera MULTI (PC,PS3 & X360).
