Thank you "Haze" for having a huge budget and being a shit game, now we'll never see Timesplitters 4. [http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56531]

Development Costs.


Not only are they bankrupt but now there is only 40 or so people working there. Great, merry fucking christmas.

oh noes

 

[not a zaar]

Well, maybe other studios will take a lesson to heart and stop trying to copy shit games for a quick buck.

Most companies don't understand that that's what's ruining them: Shitty tittles with huge production costs.

I don't like Haze or Timesplitters but that's not a nice christmas present.

Hmmm, well banking on the ignorance and stupidity of the general public doesn't always backfire, so we won't stop seeing these kinds of products any time soon.

Oh, David Doak. You crazy bastard.

I guess this is the final nail in the coffin for anyone who still believed in Rareware? Not that there are such people, after Perfect Dark Zero and Haze. Ah, well.

 

[Tekrae]

Not fired. Made redundant.
But yah, Haze sucked. The only major plot twist in the game would have been fairly good, but FR just HAD to go and give it away on the back of the box now, didn't they?

Am I the only one who didn't really dislike PDZ?

You're probably not the only one but...

I didn't dislike it, but I definitely didn't like it as much as I liked Perfect Dark.

Unfortunately, there will always be those opportunistic asshole who will think they can get away with it and make millions. Unfortunately, because the mass of stupidity that we call "American Consumers", they are probably right.

 

[klc0100]

Its not Hazes fault its ALL OF YOU GUYS FAULT for not buying Haze even if you didn't have a PS3 you still could of helped out and got the game, but noooo you guys want to play good games with real next graphics and a good story line and a fair multiplay.... why did they think Haze would be successful?

You're so cool!

Generalising all Americans as stupid on a website that many Americans go on is just the coolest!

But really now, they make a game that they think will be a hit, that doesn't make them assholes at all!

And implying this upon the creators of many amazing games that have all stood the test of time is just retarded.

 

[mokes310]

I'm a bit indifferent about Timesplitters. It was a cool idea, I just never really got that into it.

Haze was utter garbage though. That game deserved to be put in the ground well before it was released!

One, don't insult my intelligence. Two, I wasn't basing the company specifically or companies that try to make good games, I am bashing on people who think that plagiarizing a good game is okay. And three, I am not saying all Americans are stupid, but come on, some of the stuff the general populace, myself included, buys and buys into is ridiculously dumb. Also, try your stupid rhetoric and rabble-rousing on a forum where using the word retarded and fanboys who can't refrain from using annoying and stupid insults to get their dubious point across are welcome.
