A new batch of Haze screenshots and info
Playing dead is a possum’s specialty. It’s a smart thing to do, really, when you’re under a threat that you really can’t handle. We’ve got a new batch of screenshots from Haze that show just how useful it is to play possum.
We could almost hear the outraged screams. “Play dead? In a first person shooter?” Well, yeah. It will be useful to you once you play as a rebel of the Promised Hand. You’ll need to go up against the guys with the performance enhancing Nectar of the Mantel Global Industries, remember? You’ll be needing all your wits about you to make up for their “enhanced” capabilities.
In Free Radical and Ubisoft‘s Haze (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC), players will be able to fight both sides of the fence, either as a Mantel soldier or a rebel. Of course, both sides have their unique abilities and weapons to deal with their enemies.
Haze‘s release is still a couple of months away, so check out the screenshots for the meantime. They might just tide you over until November.
Check out the rest of the screenshots and more Haze details after the jump!

Perform fighting abilities such as Nectar Focus, Nectar Foresight, and Melee Blast
- Expose the truth, switch sides, and break away from MantelÂ’s control. Join up with your former enemies, and lead the rebels against the Mantel army. Use your knowledge of your former teammatesÂ’ weaknesses and new abilities and techniques such as Play Dead, Weapon Stealing, and the deadly Nectar Grenade.
- Cutting-edge gaming technology exclusively developed for the PS3 system featuring the Disparity Rendering System, which shapes players’ views of the world on and off Nectar. Haze also features an entirely streaming experience and the groundbreaking Conspire AI System, in which all enemy behaviors are entirely dynamic – nothing is scripted.
- State-of-the-art multiplayer modes. Fire up your console for online battles and choose from a variety of online modes, including furious four-player co-op action! Play as both Troopers and Rebels and unveil hidden secrets from the single-player campaign.
