Ubisoft's latest release schedule bears bad news for PS3 owners. The company's upcoming AAA, Free Radical-developed narcotically political shooter, Haze, has slipped.
It's not quite slit-your-wrists time though - we're only talking a couple of weeks. The game was previously slated for a November 31st release for the PS3 only, but will now find its way into shops on December 14th.
Other slips include the PSP version of Beowulf, which has dropped from November 23rd - when the PS3 version ships - to December 7th. You'll also no doubt be as gutted as SPOnG to learn that Telly Addicts has been pushed back to November 30th on the PS2 and January for the Wii!
Haze's delay, it must be said, is a bit of a blow. It's one of the few (timed) platform exclusives that might give the PS3 a bit of momentum in the run up to Christmas, especially following this week's poor Charts performance from Ratchet & Clank.

SPOnG was mightily impressed by what we saw of Haze when we went to visit Free Radical. Our epic chat with the game's screen writer and project leader, Rob Yescombe and Derek Littlewood, got us even more intrigued.
Anyway, two weeks we can live with. But waiting 'til January for Telly Addicts on the Wii? Next time SPOnG speaks to Ubisoft, heads are gonna roll...

As I said last time, where do you get this information from??
This game is by no means a AAA title, I was looking forward to it until I heard it not that great from previews and then heard it was multi platform.
Also what is funny is that after mentioning this game on the official PS3 forums on how I was looking forward to it many actually turned around and said 'it doesnt look that great, i wont be getting it'
And that was from a few people.
No one even has made any posts on praising the game or going all hyped up about it.
You want a AAA title? Go look at Assasins Creed, now thats a game everyone cant wait to get their hands on.
Oh and Mass Effect ;-)
Anyway, I watched some Haze vids with a friend and it looked great. Slightly concerned that the bad-guys will be limited to a few character types, but technically it looks top. We're suspicious that Assassin's Creed will be arse, given all the stupid twists where you are actually playing as a yob in a hoodie. And we all know not to listen to SuperSaiyan4's blithering biased bullshit.

Folks, don't forget that SuperSaiyan4 is a 360 fanboy who relishes every opportunity to have a dig at everything PS3. To be honest, reading his constant drivel has put me off coming to SPOnG. Fortunately, I know that he who laughs last laughs longest, and things will turn around for PS3 eventually. At which point wind-up merchants like SuperSaiyan4 will have egg on their faces along with all the Bill Gates sperm.Anyway, I watched some Haze vids with a friend and it looked great.
