This thread has been linked to the game 'Haze'.
Haze is a brand new title coming soon for PS3, PC and 360 from Ubisoft (who brought you Timesplitters).
The game is set to be the most confusing titles game of the past decade. To see what I mean, just check out this trailer Click Here. Free Radical says "There is more to that trailer than a first viewing provides. It's a very deliberate thing."
Now, from the surface, the trailer has that 'buddy-buddy' feel that you would expect from a recruitment video. Note the positive language: "Fight the good fight", "The right team; the winning team" and "Mantel Corp. will give you the finest weapons ever made... The chance to be invincible"
But look at the scene in the huge jungle, there seems to be a large machine plowing through it... What is the "Good Fight"?
Again, notice how the soldiers aren't actually fighting anyone, or even getting shot. This could all be put down to classic propaganda to make all the would-be soldiers feel 'invincible'... What if it went deeper than that? What if there are no enemy soldiers at all?
Now what about when that soldier goes mad? What's that he rips from his suit? Well, the Director of the game seems to hint that it could be the Nectar supply.
Nectar is a drug that is manufactered to enhance a soldiers performance, and also "keep them under control" which sounds worrying.
So theories go: The object is nectar, the drug used to control the soldiers and stopping the flow causes him to see things clearly (stopping the haze)
It isn't nectar, but a live camera feed. This is a wierd one. It could be that stopping the live broadcast from his person, causes the remote camera to zoom in, shortly before he smashes it to the floor.
Final thought? What if the whole war was fake, with soldiers controlled by Nectar, and the ememy 'threat' used as boradcast propaganda to mask the real aims - the processing of the rainforest to serve their multiple business concerns? Watch it again, notice that scene of the jungle from up above...
Perhaps the 'rebels' are enviromentalists or a rival organisation?
Your thoughts?
