Speaking in response to claims from Play.com Live that Haze would definitely not be ported to the Xbox 360, Ubisoft has clarified that the official stance on the game is that it will remain a PlayStation 3 exclusive “for now.”
The publisher told website CVG that the game would be "exclusive on PS3 for now,” implying that the First Person Shooter (FSP) may only be contracted as a timed exclusive.
Over the weekend unnamed representatives for the company at Play Live said that the game would “never” appear on the Xbox 360, and would only be available for Sony's next-generatoin console.

Maybe it'll be port to PC later on, but not X360?? Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.

I really hate when they flip flop like that!!! It is really annoying.... Why don't they just make up their minds and just announce a 360 version will be out with in the next year... H e l l they probably already have it done and like someone else said are probably just waiting to see how it does on the PS3.

The only thing thats posative about this is the fact that at least its been developed for and useing the PS3 as its primary console. What happens when we have played it and dumped it does not really matter. And the only thing thats negative is that Ubisoft have obviously not pushed the PS3 in terms of content and graphics otherwise it could not be ported to 360, unless they can scale the game down for the 360 port. Either way it still looks like the Devs have not yet come up with the goods in terms of pushing the PS3.

there is no proof that ubisoft told them that this game is ps3 exclusive for now. this could just be some xbox fanboyism from the site to start a rumor. Until there is an OFFICIAL statement from Ubisoft stating that it is coming to the xbox 360 or PC you should take this with a grain of salt!

Who really cares anyways? Haze has NOTHING that sets it apart from any other FPS besides what? Nectar? The graphics are far from anything great and I doubt the A.I. will be any better. I'll save my money for better games coming out soon, go ahead and cut the number of cars and tracks in GT5:P in half and I'll still take that instead of Haze. Take it to the 360, because I'm pretty sure that more than half of PS3 users lost interest between all these delays.

i hate how people say they were going to buy the game, then when its delayed that dont want to buy it anymore. it makes absolutely no sense what so ever. if you were going to buy the game u still would buy it. even if it does go to the xcrap atleast we can all enjoy the online matchs, along with 4 player co-op and the NECTAR. honestly now, im really hoping some of you who say your not going to buy it because of the delays, buy it because i would really like to enjoy some online matchs and co-op with you all. ether way im going to enjoy the game, ill have a review on here for all of you once its released so that u can see what my thoughts are on it.

jesus! what is it with these developers just say whether its a totla exclusive or not!! Its not like people arent going to buy it jus because its not exclusive and if they dont know (which i know is what their statement suggests) then just say exactly that. On the upside however at least it was made for the PS3 so wont be a crappy port and hopefully not a crappy game, got this baby pre-ordered.

I'm sick and tired of all of this news about whether or not Haze will be a PS3 exclusive and whether or not it will stay exclusive. Last week PSU had an article entitled "Haze is a True PS3 exclusive" and now this mess. I still believe that Haze will stay a PS3 exclusive as long as the game sells well enough.
When I went to Gamestop.com , I saw Haze in the PC section of games and there was a PC version of Haze on the site. However, when I went to Ubisoft.com, I didn't see anything about a PC version of Haze...... If Haze doesn't stay exclusive then it will most likely be ported to the PC. But these game developers had better make up their damn minds. If they are going to make a 3rd party PS3 exclusive they should sign a contract with Sony that binds there agreement so that they can't port the game over to another console.

Maybe its kinda like Mass Effect 2. Never going to be a PS3 game but it will be on PC. Haze could end up on the PC. So.... maybe thats what they mean by an "exclusive on PS3 for now"?? If not I can imagine all the Xbots freaking out with excitement though they were bashing it when they knew it was a "PS3 exclusive".

WTF? This game was said to be PS3 exclusive 5 days ago.
"Haze is a true PS3 exclusive. Posted on March 15th, 2008 at 19:34 EDT
The details surrounding Haze are no longer hazy.
Haze has had quite the development cycle. The title has been in development for nearly three years and is finally nailed down to a specific date and platform. The date, May 20; the platform, PlayStation 3. "WTF? By the way the game is for the win!!

That says nothing about not going to PC. Either way, Haze went from definite buy to meh and Ubisoft can only blame themselves.

Im sick of this BS. Ubisofyt is very pro-Micrisoft. They are such Bull shi.tters. It is or it isnt exclusive. Make up your mind.
If the Xbox 360 comes out 6 months later they will put in extra levels and content to hype up the sales and we will get jipped with a lesser version. YOU SUCK UBI
