Phony but cool: viral Haze site launched

We all know how it is with games these days: the more realistic it gets, the better people think it is. Ubisoft has raised the bar a bit, launching a viral marketing site to hype up the anticipated shooter Haze that they plan to release soon.

We’re not quite sure why anyone would want to name their company after microorganisms, but it’s a cool innovation and it has that chill effect to it.

The site is under the Manet conglomerate which is rooted to the game’s storyline. They did a pretty nice job of laying the site out, making it feel like a real devious market monster from the future. It even has restricted areas which might be opened as the release date draws near.

Free Radical Design has been developing this next-gen lead-pumper for almost a year now and it seems that the project is shaping up pretty nicely. Past screens have reflected amazing visuals and the developers are claiming that their comfort level on all their target platforms is at an all-time high. Haze is set to ship for the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360, and the PC. We’ll keep you posted for more developments on this bullet-riddled blaster.
