[Face it Tiger..]

NEVER

[Metalmurphy]

Not sure if serious but... Factor 5.5, the developer, died pretty much because of that game.



But I kinda of agree with you, game had some rough spots, but it was fairly enjoyable and undeservingly shitted upon. After the "2 jobs", $599, etc etc the PS3 needed a Jester to be the laughing stock of the console, Lair was it.

[Yoshichan]

No, it's never going to happen.

[UnluckyKate]

Despite it's flaws, Lair is one of the most epic games this gen.

The settings, the soundtrack... it was like playing Lord of the Rings but good (come at me)

Also, no, no sequel ever : Level 5 closed after this...

[SolidSnakex]

That's something that will never happen. Sony had a multi-game deal with F5 and terminated it after the release of Lair.

Someone give me a jackie Chan, stat!

Lair, while alright after the control patch, to me is the reason I cannot currently play the Battle of Endor in HD, my god, it would have been beautiful.

[ultron87]

Stupid Rogue Squadron with dragons. Making us never get another Rogue Squadron with X-wings.

[GeoramA]

PS4 launch title.

[Metalic]

No ! Never !

[Raging Spaniard]

hahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHA
NO

[zerokoolpsx]

Not happening.

[Hellsing321]

This game killed Factor 5 and for good reason. Its dead time to let go.

[ElFly]

If you really need a sequel to this game, I hear that Guardians of Ga'Hool (a movie tie-in game for the movie about those owls that fought in midair) is pretty similar.

I gave Lair a fair chance and it is entertaining, but it's far too flawed to really recommend it. It's kind of sad to try and guess what they were trying to pull off, cause some of the ideas seemed pretty neat (basically, helping turn the tide in big scale land battles with your dragon).


edit:



also on ps3

fuck that name, though

[Wessiej]

[Pai Pai Master]

If rumours are to believed, they made an effort to remove the Lair stage from Sony Smash Bros.

So no, no one gives a shit about Lair.

[sixteen-bit]

Not gonna happen.

[cuyahoga]

It's roughly as likely as me, a Democrat, becoming a viable candidate in the Republican presidential primary.

[massoluk]

It's been four years and eight months since this popular game first released and despite mediocre reviews

The game was so popular it took Factor 5 out of business.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Not gonna happen.

Or is it.

[Joni]

Popular? Isn't the game considered a sales flop?

[FOOTE]

Lair is just about on the same level as Two Worlds to me... So, I wouldn't doubt someone somewhere is pondering how to make a 2nd.

[UnluckyKate]

Factor 5 you mean! :P

Oops yeah.

[lilralphie]

I was so stoked about this game at first. Then I played it. Ugh.

[edornob]

WOULD

[Grisby]

Probably never, which is a shame because the sequel probably could have been awesome. Don't get me wrong, the first game had a shit ton of problems but man, I loved the idea of dragon flying and the look of the world. Shame the execution of just about everything was off.

The soundtrack is really amazing if you haven't listened to it before- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1DX-...eature=related

[Lord Error]

That game could have been so good if it was just made to simply live up to its name.

If it was a game about some old dragon stripped of its former glory, living in some crappy cave, and willing to rise to power again. You'd fly to villages, towns and scary places where you'd fight against forts, monsters, wizards, other dragons. You'd kill them and steal their loot and magical ornaments, which you'd bring back to your *gasp* Lair, and decorate it with it. The more your lair grows impressive looking, the more your power grows. Then you'd have people bringing you virgin maidens you'd have working as slaves, brave warriors trying to save those maidens, that you'd have to battle etc.

This would probably be simpler to make than their somewhat open world engine too, but leave it to Factor 5 to make a crappy looking, boring reskin of their Star Wars games, and try to sell that as something brand new.

[LiquidSolid]

If you really need a sequel to this game, I hear that Guardians of Ga'Hool (a movie tie-in game for the movie about those owls that fought in midair) is pretty similar.

If he really wants a sequel, Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader are pretty similar to Lair too. And by similar I mean they're the same game but with different skins.

And that was exactly why I disliked Lair so much. They didn't evolve at all, they just kept churning out the same game but with prettier graphics. It would've been a hell of a lot more fun if it was in some way dynamic but it wasn't and it sucked. It was the same old crap where all the objectives had a time limit and if you missed one, game over. Hell, they couldn't even let go of the bloody rope trip trick.

Oh and FYI but Sony took the brunt of Lair's sales disaster. Factor 5 didn't close down till their Superman game was cancelled.

[Lovegooder]

Yes, and it will save the PS4.

[Always-honest]

I ignored all warnings and bought the game.
God that game is horrible in many ways.

[GDGF]

I would like a Dragon's Lair (2) sequel.

[Ignis Fatuus]

This game killed a great developer.

[CadetMahoney]

joke post?

to answer your question:

[Megadragon15]

Lair? I'd much rather they revive a turd of a shooter like Philosoma than Lair.

[jorgeton]

Joke thread?

Joke thread.

[TemplaerDude]

It was a critical and commercial failure. Those do not often get sequels.

Also, the fact that you really like it is incredibly disturbing and you may want to consider giving up video games.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Never Forget.

Factor 5 is gone. Really, isn't the new Starhawk supposed to be the same kind of game, only good? Lair was a shining example of how "bulletpoint" launch titles are a complete joke. What's the point of 1080p and obligate Six-axis gameplay if the framerate blows and the maneuvering is imprecise?

Looking back, this is pretty close to the backlash that Factor 5 got from Rebel Strike (which was way more hyped than LAIR from what I remember), another pricey game that flopped. You have to wonder how many publishers are going to continue to throw them wads of cash to make very pretty games that no one wants to play. They may need to re-evaluate their company's direction if this game doesn't do well. God knows they could make a shit-ton selling their middleware to PS3 devs.

Sometimes reality sucks.

[Cheska]

Nothing wrong with liking the game, but I don't think I would label it as being "popular".

[Prezhulio]

put money towards an ip this gen worthy of a sequel, like a folklore.

having said that, people give lair way too hard of a time. worth full price? absolutely not. but there has been far worse offenders that are allowed to keep making games.

[edornob]

WOULD

[bengraven]

Been a long time since a title made me lol.

[bestami]

Lair is enjoyable. I have no idea why that game is hated and considered shit. It is not the best game ever but there are far worse games than lair that has sequels.

I don't think the reason is sixaxis since the game controls worse and is less enjoyable with the analog controls.

[eosos]

This thread reminded me that the PS3 has six-axis. Do any recent games use it?

[scitek]

[Speevy]

Any word on a Sudeki sequel?

[I H8 Memes]

This thread reminded me that the PS3 has six-axis. Do any recent games use it?

Six Axis is last gen. Rumble is this gen dude.
