Feelin' good, buddy?
It's gonna be a fun day!
*BOOSH*
Super Fun day mate
Dear Gman because you are musician (you said that in one of videos if my memmory isn't broken) I wanted to show you something that I'm proud of ^^ soundcloud.com/thebenios/sets/higher-purpose
P.s. Your content is very good man - keep it up - I love those "Shwack" jokes :D
Come on Pimp we're late!
My condolences for the time spent reviewing this peace of trash...
Any fps that came out after Halo was called a “Halo killer” by magazines and critics. Shit was annoying
They did the same to Killzone and the devs didn't approve of that.
Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior on the PS2 claimed it was a Halo Killer too.
@@Gruntvc The worst one I remember was Tribes on PS2, said it right on the box as a quote from a magazine lmao it was awful
@CropCirclePictures, Same with the Fire Warrior PS2 box. They provide quotes from a few defunct PlayStation magazines.
Fire Warrior didn't even have half the budget Halo did.
Tribes did that too? Lol, different kind of game. Did that even have a campaign or was it just bot matches like Unreal Tournament & Quake 3 on PS2?
It's the same like when they used to say that any slightly difficult game is the Dark Souls of its genre. Just a catch phrase.
@@Gruntvc lol Tribes was just like team based arena stuff, no campaign that I can recall. Sucks that happened to Fire Warrior too. Because of misconceptions due to the Halo killer quote, a lot of games got bad reception. That’s like how everything advertised Dark Cloud on PS2 as a Zelda killer when it’s nothing like Zelda at all. Or Yakuza as a GTA killer, that’s what initially killed Yakuza in the west for the longest time.
More people use the character in the thumbnail as a psn profile picture than the actual amount of people who've bought the game
I mean I do like the design of the soldiers.
Shame the rest of the game is mediocre.
@@Sgt-Wolf Mediocre not. Just bad.
@@blabo6427
I would say still mediocre which is worse than bad. At least you can laugh at bad, mediocre dosen't even offer that.
Guilty as charged 😂
@Someone lazy Exactly what I thought!
Remember your promise to merino
Pretty much the main thing that I remember from the game. I only watched the walkthrough and that phrase is still engraved in my brain.
Hey jarek can you review destiny 2
Remember that time you liked the Halo 2 shotgun *pumps M45*
omfg
How could I forget? They mentioned it every five minutes.
"What's the color scheme of our new shooter?"
"Piss."
"Jerry..."
*"...ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A RAISE? CAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET A RAISE!"*
And that guy was put in charge of the Halo CE remaster
Team Fortress 2 did a better job incorporating piss into their game.
@@Spanishdog17 Almost as well as Postal 2.
Deus ex human revolution LMAO.
Piss and washed out grey - basically any fps that came out in 2005-2009
Honestly the consept behind Haze is really cool. Playing as a grunt as part of a megacorp's private army being constantly doped to the gills with a drug that make you think your the heroes in your own war movie only for the vail to slowly be lifted as your supply is cut off and the drug begins to work its way of if your system. Its a neat idea that deserved better.
yeah they could've pulled a Spec Ops The Line type of situation.
Honestly seeing the shipping container full of bodies could be a harrowing moment. I gasped IRL when I saw it.
The plot reminds me of the blackwood missions in Oblivion, where you slaughter goblins under the influence of drugs then later realize those were humans and then help the fighters guild destroy the blackwood company.
The ignorant drugged "warcrimes" has to be a trope or story genre originating before these games, can anyone put a label on this?
The plot of syndicate.😂

This looks like a game that made CoD good.
Actually it is one.
Ah yeah, the era where they would copyright strike you even if the game was vaguely similar with the real one
My exact thoughts summerized
The greatst thing I've seen similar to this is playing battlefield: hardline and seeing an npc playing deadspace 2
Ah yes, the PSN icon everyone used back in the day
I still saw a lot of people using it when I played Death Stranding. I mean, it does look pretty nice without context.

@@FRANK45CASTLE
No shit, Sherlock
@@SourChicken1856 thank you
I feel like this game was supposed to be bigger but then they just rushed it.
It was supposed to be a multiplatform release at one point, then became a PS3 exclusive.
And yeah it got rushed. So much so that they used assets like textures from Battlefront 3 that they were working on. Supposedly Lucas Arts found out and it contributed to them losing the contract to make the game.
I remember seeing early promos and footage that seemed to be a lot better than the finished product. I remember it was an early title so they probably pushed it to release way faster than the deva could handle.
Executive meddling tends to screw over games a lot.
@@lfcfan9983 I don't know man. I don't think I've described every game considering that good games are still being released. I feel like the primary issue with bad or disappointing games nowadays is developers having way too much of a budget, not using their time wisely, speaking way too much to media, or just development issues especially considering crunch time being put into more practice in the industry.
Black Mirror had an episode where the plot was very similar to Haze and it was actually pretty good. Haze however...
What was the episode called
It's not just about the idea, it's about the EXECUTION of the idea.
I thought that episode was so awful lol
@@meme-ni9ch Yeah, the episode wasn't great. Haven't watched it since it came out but I think it was one of the longest episodes of the season and did the least with that time. And after the "twist" was revealed that they were killing civilians, some army dude shows up and explains the entire plot while basically looking right into the camera for 10 minutes because apparently you're too dumb to realize "immoral army actions = bad"
@@arkgaharandan5881 boi that's some fine cringe
The profile picture of many PSN accounts that have gone dormant.
My ps3 was ruined by the infamous "update" you couldn't even use the store anymore I loved it but my xbox 360 was always the best

KillZone was supposed to be the Halo Killer.
Killzone,Resistance,Haze, they are all dead franchises, How does Halo still exist? it's not been enjoyable since Reach
@@PlanetNateGaming Halo Reach is good but when 343 took over and made Halo 4, rushed both Halo the MCC and halo 5 they nearly killed the Halo franchise. But at least 343 actually fixed Halo The Master Chief Collection they still giving updates on the game and hopefully Halo infinite becomes a decent game at launch.
@@PlanetNateGaming Because even if you don't personally like them, the new games are fun.
And even if you don't like them, you have to admit it feels like there's effort. Unlike most of the Halo Killers that are just shit that feels more developed by the Publisher than the actual team
@@Mobysimo Halo 4 had a decent campaign but Cod-like multiplayer
Halo 5 Has awful story,bad gameplay,and is a microtransaction filled hellscape
Halo 4 tried being good and didn't hit the mark cleanly,but Halo 5 is unforgivably awful by design
@@silverhand9965 I give them so credit for trying. Something this game clearly stopped doing after 20 minutes
For a while "Halo Killer" was its own sub genre.

The 2000's when any game with a gun was dubbed a Halo killer.
As Gman says: The only thing that killed Halo was Halo, I used to love Halo between 2008-2012 but after Halo: Reach it just wasn't the same , it's ADS and lackluster map design didn't do it any favors
The noughties
@@PlanetNateGaming
Reach was one of the best Halos, then shit
At least they retired the term doom clone
For me Halo’s sweet spot was 2008. We had the trilogy out, ODST, halo wars, and reach on the way. While having some of the best online social experiences that were custom games.
This game was so stupid, but it had a dumb charm to it.
I remember playing it to completion with my friends and laughing at it the whole way through. Good times.
Oh i forgot, didn't this game have coop?
@@LuciosTwitch Yep! You can play through the story with 3 other people via online co-op.
Best part was it had co-op and online splitscreen versus as well iirc.
@C K I made my first ever PS3 online friend in that game. Instead of doing the co-op mission, we would shoot the back pieces of the other two players-making them overdose, lose control and kill themselves. We did that until they quit.
That was a fun night.

Why must you hurt me in this method?
Don't you mean 343 killed halo
@@maverickslastoddworld6476 The downfall started with reach. But we can keep pretending it was all 343 if yous want.
@NICHOLAS MEINI If you were around when it launched, reach was the first divisive title, I'm well aware people are now looking back on it with rose tinted glasses though, ironically.
@NICHOLAS MEINI There is obviously room for debate but ignoring the problems with campaign, part of the decay of halo is the split fanbase, some want hardcore arena style gameplay, the stuff that's super competitive i.e the mlg era with the "pros", halo 3 and back, the others want cod style load outs, sprint mechanics, aiming down scope, focus on casual style gameplay i.e REACH! It was (imho) the biggest inspiration for halo 4, think about it. The backlash led to them making halo 5 where the multiplayer was way to competitive, it didn't even have casual slayer or big team battle on release, just a fleshed out ranking system similar to LoL or CS:GO. 343 have messed up, no doubt but they didn't start driving the "knife" in, if you catch my drift, bungie who buggered off to make their space wizard game with activision started the downfall, at least in my opinion.
Because xboners deserve no mercy.
It's like that Black Mirror episode. Huh, whatiya know.
I remember multiplayer had a pretty cool Prison breakout mode, where the Mantel troops had to guard half the rebels who were prisoners from breaking out and getting to helicopters to escape, while another half of the rebels would start free in the woods and be armed, and if a rebel got downed and captured, they would respawn as a prisoner. Free Radical were always good at making their multiplayer feel unique.
I only recognize this game through the profile picture on Playstation. I always thought that it was an alternate Deathstroke costume profile picture.
Im more worried you thought that
"Gaming for me is a religion, and Haze is the shit! I had to come up with a track that can hit up that kind of rush I get from the game and I think we really rocked it!!" -Jonathan Davis (Korn), 2008

@@kidcharlemagne1002 just type in Korn Haze Game Song
How embarrassing
That’s cringy

Your reviews are honestly fantastic. The detail and delivery is top shelve. You’ve made them very entertaining, even for games I’ve never heard of before.
Thank you!
That playing dead mechanic was really only useful in multiplayer, I remember feeling very satisfied to play dead and then sneak up on the player who tried to kill me
"Gaming for me is a religion and Haze is the shit!" says Korn's lead singer Jonathan Davis. "I had to come up with a track that can hit up that kind of rush I get from the game, and I think we really rocked it!!"
Lmao I miss the trend of edgy rock bands making songs for video games. Breaking Benjamin in Halo 2, Adema in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Ash in Star Wars Republic Commando, etc.
LMFAO!!! I FORGOT KORN made music for this!! 💀

Free Radical Design: "What art-direction, story and gameplay-loop you want?"
Haze: "Just fuck my shit up."
I liked Haze. I love the ending where the rebel leader is exposed as being just as evil as the corporation he was fighting against.
setting up a sequel that never happened
You're basically setting up your game for disappointment when people claim a game is a "Halo killer"
It’s a shame we got this instead of Star Wars battlefront 3...
Star wars 1313
1313 looked like another linear Uncharted type game, so (at least for me) that wasn't a big loss compared to the ouchie of Battlefront 3.
The sad thing is that game was 99% complete when it was cancelled.
@@theFROZEX what are you talking about, this would be the fucking coolest shit ever, play as a bounty hunter in star wars universe.
@@freshnesbro3792 I like the idea but looking at the blockbuster single player trend it looked like a "play once and forget" kind of deal, most likely with quick-time-events, scripted gameplay sequences and all that fluff.
We can't know that but the industry suggests it lol.
When you switch sides instead of removing nectar it would've been cool if you could farm it from corpses so you can roleplay as a junkie, maybe add a system where depending on where you shoot enemies you can harvest them or not. Maybe add a double ending depending on whether you're an adict or not.
I remember being so hyped for this game in 2007 when it was supposed to be released. It then got delayed till 2008 and I thought that it could give them more time on making the game perfect. Boy how wrong I was.
"They gave you a drug called The Ladder"
This game used to be stupidly hilarious to me in the multiplayer. My friend would come to my house and play splitscreen and we would laugh for hours, good times.
It's hard to believe that Free Radical made this, and it's sad they finished with this game.
Yet another studio shuttered during the PS3's lifecycle. That system killed or otherwise financially wrecked many lesser known studios.
@PowerMan 999, Ubisoft rushed it.
AAA gaming and all the scummy practices that go along with it are to blame.
@@Gruntvc Yeah, every shitty game is because [insert_publisher_name] rushed it... Without it would be a game of the year. Like there's absolutely no games that fails after years and years in development. /sarcasm
@@12ealDealOfficial EA killed way more studios than the ps3
@@Gruntvc I invite the two of you contrarians over to Matt McMuscles' channel for his What Happened series. The PS3 was a complicated piece of hardware that few developers could truly develop for. The publishers may have been financially responsible for the slew of closures over the 7th generation, but the console itself presented unique challenges pertaining to 3D game development that few lesser known studios could manage. Then there's Sony's direct involvement in certain closures and mandates, which is a smaller list.
*"Just remember your promise to Marino!"* was the only thing i could remember from this video
Random request but I'd love to see you review Binary Domain.
I find the dialogue in this game quite amusing, like, almost Rogue Warrior-levels of hilarious.
It had potential. This idea of substance-injecting soldiers to have them perform better, and surpress the horrors of war and combat is pretty damn interesting.
Just sucks major balls that this, this concept was wasted for something that could've actually be amazing.
It was rushed, Ubisoft strikes again.
Boycotted them for years now, don't regret it when all ya get is soulless corporate AAA crap like The Division or Ubisoft Ghost Recon.
It's an awesome concept that deserves a proper execution. I might just check this game out for giggles.
The idea of soldiers being fed an alternate reality so it make it easier for them to identify the enemy was explored in the episode of Black Mirror called "Men Against Fire". In that episode soldiers are given a neural implant that makes them think they're killing "roaches" (mutant humans) but when it malfunctions they realize they're just killing innocent unarmed civilians. The implant basically allows the soldiers the perform ethnic cleansing without even realizing it. It's pretty fucked up and this game's story definitely reminded me of it with the whole nectar thing.
It's a shame, I feel like there's a lot of potential here, I could imagine a company buying the rights to this and coming out with an amazing sequel.
I'll be honest; the last words: "don't tell mom" make sens considering he's a war criminal, sure it's not welm delivered but yeah
The most impressive thing about Haze for me was it let you see you friends list in-game before the PS3 would let you access it.
"The HALO Killer"
In a very alternate universe.

THAT’S FUCKING ILLEGAL
We missed out on more timesplitters... for this. Scandalous.
Honestly, Future Perfect was a decent end point for the series. I’m not sure I’d want another TimeSplitters if it meant watering down the game and adopting more modern gimmicks. Those games thrive on their arcadey elements, and there’s not a whole lot of that in today’s shooters.

The off-nectar mode is interesting. Reminds me of that black mirror episode where I think soldiers had built in augmented reality tweaking what they say and manipulating them into doing things as a result
If only they made TimeSplitters 4 instead of this..
Time splitters would so have an easy time coming back now its maybe 1-2 degrees removed from fortnite aesthetically
They tried but the publishers told them that no one wants a cartoony shooter. That aged like milk.

Probably edgy old-school gamers would have shit on Time Splitters 4 for 5 year at least, then praising it like a masterpiece for not goddamn reason like it happened with Halo Reach and similiar
It seems like they tried to make it goofy and quirky with all the awkward jokes and dialog but it just came off as cringy, Bulletstorm did awkward humor way better imo
I worked on this game, good times, there was alot of pressure from the publishers to get the game out and it just was not ready, there was a time where we were kind of forced to implement 6 axis controls and as a result made a crappy 3D Tetris game, not sure if that was in the full release. Anyway the story was good just executed poorly.
That twist at the end though lmfao 👌🏽

I remember when this game was coming out, and I remember it being called a Halo killer. Luckily, I was old enough to know any time a game is called a Halo killer, you were in for a bad time. It also didn't help that this came out about right after Halo 3 and Cod4 came out which everyone was still jacked up on. No FPS game near that time could compete at all.
When the ps3 was coming out and HAZE was being hyped i remember people at my school saying it was a halo killer
"you look so good i wish i was you" sounds so much like the good morning Julia guy it's wigging me out 😂
For the record Gman, my high school years were spent listening to the Kottonmouthkings. Loved those rappers.
Its was ICP for me, well that and country music.
After all those years wondering where that PlayStation avatar was from, I finally know.
From what I've learned, the reason why Haze became this way was due to interference by Ubisoft and I don't think working on the PS3 didn't help it either since the console was known for being very difficult to make games for due to it's highly sophisticated hardware.
Wasn’t this the game that was also going to destroy all PC online multiplayer games with its 3453450453546504645 players match in a single server?

It kinda symbolizes how this game just kinda hovered around when it first came out. So unremarkable, yet so prevalently advertised.
I remember all of the PlayStation fans were hyping this up in high school and then never mentioned it again after the week it was released
Oh man, Haze? that brings back so many memories. I remember my mom getting me the game because I liked the PSN profile picture of the soldier. I don't remember anything about the game except that at some point you drive a car and have to destroy some small bases or something, and I don't think I even finished the game, but I know I liked it.
Honestly from your video, the game doesn't seem bad at all, I will definitely replay this at some point just like I did with Resistance 1
God, the ads for this game back in the day were absolutely everywhere (so annoying)
This just made me wanna go back through Resistance
It's sad how Resistance doesn't really get talked about much these days. 40-60 player multiplayer was amazing, and tons of unique weapons!
I remember haze man that game was so disappointing
It’s 2023 and I randomly thought about this game. I didn’t know people hated it. I thought the story was pretty intriguing for such an unknown title.
If you watch “Wa Happun” the failure of this game is very sad.
The only thing that this ''Halo Killer'' killed was Timesplitters 4.
They wanted to make Timesplitters 4 before but the publishers reckoned that no one wanted a cartoony shooter. So Haze was made instead.
I've seen like a "making of" doc on this game pretty recently actually, and I can't for the life of me remember who made it. (UPDATE: I DO remember who made it, it was Matt McMuscles in one of his "Wha Happun?" episodes. Worth checking out on UA-cam, it's a good series)
But from what I remember, the moral of the story was that Ubisoft, the publisher, are the ones that fucked this game from start to finish. The devs never had a chance to make this game good in any kind of way. And it was Ubisoft that coined the term "Halo Killer" and from what I understand, the devs were not happy about that at all. Ubisoft kinda just threw these guys under the bus and didn't let them make the game they wanted at all.
Using lines from the game as a response to what you're saying always reminds me of when I'd watch Zero Punctuation with my dad
Honestly the idea of perma-drugged up PMC's is terrifying.
Shame they did not do more with it.

@8:28 Jeez, switching over to Halo footage seriously shows the better art style between the two.
“Halo Killer” I haven’t heard that name in years.
I remember thinking the concept of nectar was really cool and for how silly it looks, I did kind of like the armour design.. Then the game released and I saw video after video talking about how awful it was. It is a shame as I do think there's potential here.
Plot twist: this game was only made for 10 yo kids to use that overhyped PlayStation profile avatar.
This game is not good, but I love it so much. Playing local multiplayer with bots was great. The AI is programmed to immediately seek the most powerful weapons, so they usually go to grab rocket launchers, then go to seek the player. Missiles flew everywhere and they often killed themselves more than they killed the player. It was a hilarious time
