Free "Nectar" paraphenalia with Haze pre-order

Posted on December 28th, 2007 at 14:41 EDT

With a North American release date coming in the next couple of months, PS3 owners have something else to look forward to if they choose to pre-order Haze. If it's pre-ordered directly from Ubisoft, the publisher will be including a limited edition drug syringe containing "nectar".

Not only will those who pre-order the game receive this bonus drug paraphenalia, they also will have the game shipped out on day one of its release. The drug-filled syringe is actually a pen but gives the impression of being a syringe full of "nectar" which highly influences the gameplay in Haze.

The "nectar" found in the game is a performance-enhancing pharmaceutical drug that gives the user better speed, accuracy and strength. As part of the story, the drug is secretly being used to control the minds of soldiers. Nectar can control what the soldier sees when administered and is a sort of hallucinogenic drug. It can make the soldiers see only the enemies and cut out the destruction and death around them.

Haze is a first-person shooter video game developed by Free Radical Design and is published by Ubisoft exclusively for the PlayStation 3. Haze is being set to release for the first quarter of 2008.

As far as I've heard, it's coming out in August. That is, according to the Ubisoft website.

lol this definitely does NOT sound like a good idea.  I don't think Haze should be promoting the coolness of drug syringes.

That's pretty cool.  I'm now on the fence about preordering this game.  I mean, heck you can probably ebay the syringe/pen for a little bit of dough.

Not gonna lie, thats pretty stupid. How's about a full sized airsoft rifle modelled after one of the Haze guns, that would be sick.

i don't know if the whole syringe thing is a good idea... but with the game being shipped the 15th, it'll be on store shelves (GameStop) on the 16th of january... i can't wait... to h3ll with the pen...

I can see many obvious pranks with this "syringe." Writing notes on your forearm could look awfully conspicuous around cops...

Sweet!! I think i will preorder from them since you still get the game the day that it is released.

Is Ubisoft just trying to make it on the news?!  Is there their effort to make a controversial offer or what? Next year HAZE could be blamed for any DUI incidence that occur whether those idiots have the game or not!  I'd rather have a 1:1 scale of the helmet (ala Master Chief!)

This is just a scheme to make people buy more Ubisoft products.  It's really a mind-controlling drug inside the pen....  Beware!

Hope this game kills halo 3 and i hope it will be the best game yet from ubisoft.

They should send you the game a couple days before its due out for pre-ordering with them that way you can get it on the day of release. I personally would rather pre-order it somewhere else and get on the release date.

Hmmmm.... I wonder if you'll get this if you've already pre-ordered (like me) through a local store?  "M" rating aside, I can see major political fodder being made when some kid takes this pen back into school and gets suspended due to their "zero tolerance" policy.  And then some political yahoo seizes on that to claim video games are encouraging drug use!

 

I just can't wait........ :)

 

Still, should be a great game (hopefully) and I'm waiting for it!
