im not gonna hold the company accountable for Lair.. That was their 1st motion control game.. on a HORRIBLE motion controler.. Tacked on Controls get a tacked on grade..

They should have NEVER gone to sony in the first place with a motion control flying game.. LAIR would have been GREAT on Wii..

I would like to see a new Turrican. I think they are making some movie license game though. Considering it's for all three consoles.

I actually enjoyed playing Lair, its the first game on the PS3 ive bothered to buy, the rest ive rented. (Ive only owned my PS3 for a month )

But then maybe its because i didnt try to fly my Dragon like an F18 Hornet?

is that the same game for the "Gamecube"? Loved that game, especially the final DeathStar mission, flying through them tight spaces.

Man..here I was thinking "Lair and there claim to fame."

That Rogue Squadron game was Quality.

i dont know about you guys, but i was kinda hoping for a sequel to Lair- because Lair was a flawed classic IMO, if they could make a sequel thatg ironed out the flaws then it would be an excellent game

but if the next game is multi-platform then i guess that isn't going to happen for quite some time

Had Factor 5 released a game like Lair in two-three years time, when not just hardcore gamers would have owned a PS3, the game would have been a success.

As it is, it's a good game but with controls people used to having analog sticks in their hands 24 hours a day are not willing to adjust to. Anyone who actually played the game will attest that it plays well and the motion controls add to the game experience. I applaud Factor 5 for this high risk approah. We need more of this instead of the HD rehashes that flood 360 and PS3.

If I was a developer of games I would go multi-plat too benefit from 360's high attach rate. that are worth it are virtually guaranteed to sell.

What the F is up with these every five second drop down advertisement N4G? It is getting too stupid.

is release a patch supporting analog controls for Lair.

everything else about that god-damned game screams quality (the graphics are incredible, the story is well done and well acted, and the missions are fun and varied, considering that you are riding on a dragon the entire game), but those frigging controls just *KILL it.

i've mastered the motion controls, but i'd have preferred analog support. if they did this little thing, Lair would easily catapult up to a 8/10 game. instead, they had to be stubborn, and now their game is not only a martyr, but a cautionary tale about *CHOICE. the gamer should always have the *CHOICE to use features that are untested.

remember when analog sticks were introduced? to ease the transition, developers supported digital pad controls along *WITH the analog controls. outside of Ape Escape on the PS1, i used the digital pad to control games up until the PS2 hit, and more games made it the required form of control. now i can't control a game *WITHOUT the analog stick (i'm exaggerating, but, you know).

other games have done motion controls in *LITTLE, but effective ways (Heavenly Sword let you control projectiles with the motion controls, Ratchet uses it in a *LOT of little ways, like decrypting doors, hang-gliding, and free-falling; Uncharted lets you use motion controls to balance on beams, and control the arc of a grenade. you can also tilt the controller back to leap backwards from edges while hanging).

anyway, it'll be interesting to see what they're cooking up next, but Factor 5 is kind of the epitome of "developer with spotty track record." they're talented guys, but they can certainly be misguided sometimes.
