Ubisoft has confirmed
Free Radical's HAZE will be
PS3 only! Quietly discussed at
Leipzig and confirmed by
Gamespot - this is a turn of the tables for Microsoft - and something Sony needs more of!
To be clear - Ubisoft stopped short of using the E word when asked to clarify by Gamespot. After stating that only the PS3 version is 'in development' an official spokesman added:
"The official statement on PC and Xbox 360 is that these platforms are not confirmed."
Whatever you want to call it, Sony needs more of it - that's right - Exclusives! They're mentality to date has been 'we aren't going to pay for exclusive titles', as paraphrased by
Jack Tretton. And well, in this case, they didn't have to!
Ubisoft apparently pulled the plug on the
Xbox 360 and
PC versions for unknown reasons - though
PS3 Fanboy speculates, and we concur, that it may very well have been development limitations that sparked the move.
We've sent a note on over to
Dave Doak and await an official response. We'll update as we can. Meanwhile, get ready to fire up those
PS3s and snicker at your
X360 owning friends. OK, I'm exaggerating a bit I know - but it's not often (to date) that you'll get to do this
