Uncharted 3 for grenade throw, and Journey for camera control. Both optional.

The concept of Lair is awesome. They just need more power to execute it. I hope to see a sequel someday even though I didn't like the first one.

industrian · (04-11-2012, 07:01 PM)

I couldn't help but think that the LAIR engine and game direction would suit a RTS.

But yeah, dead franchise. As dead as dead can be. Dead.

Fezan · (04-11-2012, 07:02 PM)

this reminds me there was another action adventure or rpg game for ps2 that involved dragon.
really loved that game

Do the analog controls make the game any better?

Totobeni · 07:18 PM

Lair ? it was very bad and bombed hard

Sony should make a sequel to this series

Even after the patch (although it did help).

It's weird that Sony abandoned the IP completely, there are a huge loyal fanbase for the original PC game still playing and modding it.

a sequel to Drakan (even if not on PC) or even a remake for the original will be great,using Star/Warhawk engine maybe can work and save costs.

HueyFreeman · (04-11-2012, 07:34 PM)

You know, there are ways to appreciate Lair. We probably haven't seen ambition in terms of scalable level design again in this generation, and it could be really breathtaking in terms of the action scenes it created. You can also appreciate it as a lesson in game design: it's obvious Lair was started before they'd really thought the gameplay systems through, the lock-on system is a shoe-horned solution that absolutely doesn't work, and the dragon one on one battles are absolutely un-fun.

But people should try it. Most definitely.

Incorrect. Flower.

injurai · (04-11-2012, 07:42 PM)

This game was obviously a ploy to push 6-axis controls, I doubt any designer had this concept as their dream game. Maybe this means we will get Lair 2 when 4D comes out...

pelicansurf · (04-11-2012, 07:45 PM)

Kickstarter!

Shiggy · (04-11-2012, 08:27 PM)

Factor 5 died because of Brash and Superman, they still had Wii games for Nintendo and LucasArts from what we know.

Alcoholikaust · (04-11-2012, 08:34 PM)

Because of LAIR we will never see a Rogue Squadron game this or next gen.

This sums it up quite nicely.

MrPliskin · (04-11-2012, 08:36 PM)

Troll thread? Game was pretty bland. Not as terrible as people make it out to be (once it received a control patch) but it isn't memorable in the silghtest...outside of it's amazing OST.

edornob · 08:21 AM

WOULD

Shai-Tan · 04:43 PM

I actually kind of liked the gameplay in Lair (sans sixaxis). The story and characters on the other hand are as bad as Supreme Commander II (so bad it's painful). It needed more to the gameplay than dogfighting though (like Drakan actually... but good)

DomGTAB · (05-15-2012, 04:49 PM)

Wow. This thread is kind of random! LOL

Acquiescence · (05-15-2012, 04:54 PM)

Haha, good one. Expect it to be announced at the upcoming E3 conference, along with Folklore 2 and Heavenly Sword 2.

It's been four years and eight months since this popular game first released and despite mediocre reviews, I remember really enjoying this. Good graphics, nice presentation, okay story, and anything involving dragons is okay in my book. Plus its probably the best game on the PS3 to incorporate the sixaxis (compared to games like Heavenly Sword)

Uh huh.

I see.

Shadow780 · (05-15-2012, 04:56 PM)

I remembered the game had phenomenal sound effects.

For this you performed necromancy on your own thread?

Log4Girlz · (05-15-2012, 05:04 PM)

I'm on the phone now, I'm negotiating a deal for Factor 5 to return to gaming.

Folklore is actually an amazing game,.. Heavenly Sword and lair are shit.

Metalmurphy · (05-15-2012, 05:17 PM)

Heavenly Sword was decent, far cry from just "shit" imo.

Yeah well I heard from my inside source (buddy works a cash register at Best Buy) that Half Life 3 is actually going to be released DURING E3 this year.

Make a new thread now that it's confirmed.

vazel · (05-15-2012, 05:19 PM)

I liked the game too post-patch but dude, seriously...

Fellow GAFfers, Lair have one great thing.

Tell me if this is not AMAZING! Aaaah Yeah.

I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about the likelihood of these early PS3 exclusives getting a sequel, which in the case of Folklore is never going to happen because no one bought it.

KaizorPenguin · (05-15-2012, 05:25 PM)

I just want another Rogue Squadron damnit :(

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

That's actually a very decent game. Nice flight mechanics. Not a fun name to say out loud.
