Here is a fantastic interview with Rob Yescombe at PAX. I don't want to give too much away but I think he's half drunkhttp://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif You'll have to skip forward quite a bit. The actual interview starts about at 78:43 into the show.

Hehe, thanks for that. He's a really cool guy. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Some nice gameplay footage too, although I see a few glitches here and there (especially as a rebel). Are these always fixed in the last months before a release?

I love the new gameplay footage! Rob Yescome also mentions the script is a thousand pages long. Whoa.

Rob doesn't drink, actually. Which makes his usual behaviour even more scary.

And glitches and bugs are a natural part of the development process and will of course be ironed out before release. I'm sure there are more bug-free demos out there but then I can't really think of many games that have presented playable four player coop on PS3 either...http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

In the demo it looks like you changed the "administering" text in the Mantel visor. Small change, but I think it looks better http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

That's a great interview, (it's probably good for us all that Rob doesn't drink!).

The short bits of video we did see showed some nice animations, (the Mantel guy dropping on the grenade), and some decent insights on the Haze design process. Cool.

Haze + PAX = Nectar energy mints

Expo + Gypsy + UBI Booth + All PAX = EXHAUSTION

Expo + 20 packs of Nectar + Exhaustion = PURE GOODNESS

Man I was downing those things a pack at a time. They were the only thing keeping me going!!

That Mantel Assault Rifle replica is damn sexy. You have any other shots of it? It'd awesome if it was produced as an airsoft rifle or something. (oh, the girl holding the rifle, Jinx?, is damn sexy too. Don't want her to feel upstaged by a gun)

Never seen that particular video before with that footage. This game looks amazing and I always loved the TS series.

Seen Rob in a few other vids, the guys funny as hell!

I can't wait for this one, It's my #1 pick this holiday!!

QUESTION: Have you guys considered synergizing with some sort of drink? Sorta like HEY-LO? I think if anything, a special edition soda drink called Nectar would make alot of sense! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/metal.gif GREAT JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! Lovin' IT!!!

MauserMilitary

09-12-2007, 09:16 PM

They actually are already making Nectar energy drinks, and I think Rob mentioned ˜Nectar pills' in the interview as well. You'll probably be able to pick them up when Haze launches, so that way you can be on a crazy Nectar binge yourself as you play through the game. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gif

I've been curious to try the stuff myself.

I wonder if Jinx or Gypsy got some free samples at Pax.

Really? I'm so there to buy some when it launches.

Let's hope we don't overdose and hit our friends with the controller.

From the look of the chunky pistol grip on that thing your hands would have be huge to hold it comfortably.

Is that what happens when you mix Nectar pills and energy drinks together, or did the exhaustion of PAX get to him? I guess I'll have to check out the FragDoll forum then.

Honestly, a guy that huge should not be allowed within 100 feet of any energy enhancing substance; it could be potentially fatal for everyone.
