To keep this from becoming a "ha, ha, take that 360 bots!" comment thread, we'd like to discuss a few of the reasonings for this announcement -- all speculative, of course. First, Sony doled out a hefty sum of money to grab the game's exclusivity forever. To do that, they must be confident in the game's ability to sell well and is getting incredibly positive reactions from gamers and game journalists, which it really is. A second possible reason is the difficulty Haze developers are having moving all the stuff from the PS3 to the 360 -- utlizing Blu-ray and standard hard drive space may have spoiled them. It's not to say they couldn't actually make the game for 360, it's just that they felt the quality of the experience would be severely hampered and scrapped it. We'd sooner give the nod to our first assumption, but we'll leave it up to you guys to discuss this. Either way, we know the PS3 will be getting a fantastic game built with its strengths in mind.

Its called good business since 360 has AAA fps coming out. Making this for ps3 will get it some attention from the press. I know I will check for it.

This game looks fantastic. Plus, they use real actors for the cutscenes! Oh wait, that's a bad thing. I can't shake the feeling of PS1 Resident Evil.

@corbin
So if you go with the console that you worship wholeheartedly, then why come here ?
Answer: because you are a troll.

@Corbin
You probably heard millions of times, but keep your comments to your self. Nobody here wants to hear your flamboyant remarks.

@everyone re: Corbin & VOS
rule #1 - don't get them wet
rule #2 - don't feed them aftermidnight.
i see that someone's broken those rules, however, seeing as they're multiplying!

It's about time Sony ponied up some cash and got themselves an exclusive. You can hypothesize all you want about port complications, but I doubt that was it. I bet Sony bought this after seeing the reviews of two of their A-List titles (Heavenly Sword and Lair) go sour. Good for them.
I'll likely get this for my PS3 when it drops.

i think 360fanboys come here maybe because *gasp* the article pretains to a 360 port???
why all the yellow in haze in the first place? anyways FPS plays better with a 360 pad. feels like a gun and the sticks provide more resistance. ino ino "PS3 has Keyboard and Mouse" blah blah blah.
i realize the superior control, but hey i first played a FPS on a console and it felt more comfy.
