- Haze preview - IGN has a
Haze
preview:
Thankfully all of the narrative devices of the singleplayer Haze game
remain intact in co-op. "Most of the narrative in HAZE occurs dynamically
around you without affecting your control, so you're free to stay and watch
or walk away if you want - and obviously, this goes for all four players in
co-op too, so 'skipping' these sequences isn't really a problem.
Occasionally you'll find we'll bias your view in a certain direction to see
something cool, but again, anytime you or your three buddies want to look
elsewhere, you're free to do so." So when your character starts
hallucinating, thanks to the side-effects of the evil Nectar, you can be
sure your buddies are having the same acid flashbacks as you.
