Playing mind games with Haze: 4-player co-op style

In case you haven’t heard, sci-fi FPS Haze will be getting 4-player co-op. On top of that, it’s going to be available for both online and campaign modes. During the recent Ubidays conference in Paris, Free Radical Design director David Doak confirmed this feature, supposedly supported on all platforms that the game gets released in – that’s PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

More than that, the director continues to say that their game won’t be hacking at certain formulaic elements that are usually tackled by other titles. Turns out that the game would be “truly a bit more mature without being gory.” Now how’s that supposed to be? You could say that Viva Pinata‘s mature, in the sense that it’s got incestuously breeding worms; so, does that mean Haze will also get “mature” worms too? Harhar, we kid.

As reported by EuroGamer, Doak explained to the press that Haze is “not just about war itself, it’s about your perception of war.” So it’s like we’re playing mind games now, huh? A bit of some psy-war going on, then? Not much of a “Halo 3 for teenagers” now is it? But we’re not here to compare apples and oranges…

In any case though, all this talk about how they’ve handled the game has done nothing but make us even more curious.
