Well that's sort of the gist of Spong's interview with the game's project leader Derek Littlewood, although his reasons for it are a little... vague.
According to Littlewood, PlayStation Network's lack of structure means developers are free to do what they want online, although this comes at a cost of increased development time and resources. Which is a bit like saying having nowhere to live is great, as you can live anywhere!
"We've been able to do it in the way we want to" says Derek, of Haze's PS3 online stuff, and he reckons the rigid, defined nature of Xbox Live is making developers lazy and keeping games stuck in various ruts thanks to Microsoft's insistence that everything's done in the same way across the board.
We hope he's right and that Free Radical is preparing something special for Haze's online play. Free Rad is one of the world's top developers, and if even half the TimeSplitters magic and charm makes it into Haze, it'll be a definite PS3 must buy - especially as its "timed exclusive" nature means it won't hit Xbox 360 until next year.

Wow, that is very big news if true.
