Dave Doak: Haze is going toe-to-toe against Halo 3

Haze is shaping up to be a pretty promising title, with a solid selection of weapons and even a four-player co-op mode. Free Radical‘s Dave Doak sat for an interview during a press event in Paris to tease all the trigger-happy fans itching for the game.

Doak discussed about the game’s war setting with some real characters and a world commentary. The enemies here aren’t locusts or chimeras, but other humans. Sounds like something that only works in WWII shooters, but Doak stated that Haze‘s narrative is good enough to make you play more.

He believes that even if many people pick up FPS titles to do some shooting, an involving storyline is required to keep the player’s attention. With that said, Haze is supposed to have an interesting story right up to the very end.

The company is focusing on the PS3 for now, but the game will get a PC and Xbox 360 release too. While fellow FPS Halo 3 may be the biggest 360 title, Doak thinks that Halo‘s already won the battle but they’re not afraid to join the fray. He also commented on Halo having problems during beta, and that fans from both the first Halo and Halo 2 may have different interests that will be difficult to cater to.

Just like fanboys most gamers, Doak is also surprised about how the console wars turned out. The underdog Nintendo came up on top that even his mom wants to play it. Seems like Doak is leaning towards the PS3 though, saying that the console has a lot of processing power that is locked away. Will Haze be able to unlock the PS3’s true potential? We’ll have to wait to find out.
