Lair Roughly 90% Done, Shipping in Spring

Game Informer spoke with the company's co-founder and president Julian Eggebrecht at this week's D.I.C.E. summit, who revealed Lair is in the last stages of development: tweaking and optimization.

"Basically, by all definitions, pretty much everything is there. Now it's optimization and really getting the difficulty curve right and really getting everything tweaked right. All of the systems are there. All of the unlocking-everything is there. Would I want to give it to you? No, because it needs to be tweaked right...."

I will not buy it because I sold my PS3 for $1300

Interested to see if this lives up to the hype though. Will have my buddy bring his PS3 over cause he doesn't have an HDTV and it looks like a fat lady in a Moo Moo on his TV. He's pretty stoked about this one, Hope his lil' heart doesn't get broken

5.1 - i don't trust reviews

i trust myself. i saw a reviewer say gigli was better than bad boys 2. everybody has their own taste. you may think a particular food dish is fantastic, but since i can't stand onions, i might think it's gross. try a demo, watch somebody else play, rent/ borrow it. use your own judgement.

9 - Grown Folks Talk - Trust the reviews

I see where you are coming from. Oblivion scored very high, yet I hated oblivion because I'm not into RPG's. However, if a certain genre YOU like receives an overall great review on gamerankings.com, chances are you are going to love that game. Gameranking.com takes the scores from over 100 reviews and puts an average to it. I'd say trust it if within your preferred genre.

As for Lair... Looks good. Will it live up to the hype? I doubt it. This is Sony affiliated we're talking about here. Don't look at me. I didn't make that name for Sony.

9.1 - to me there are 3 types of games...

the ones you know you are going to get no matter what. and the ones that are maybe/i'll try it first. and the ones you wouldn't touch to save your life. certain games you know you are going to pick up even if everybody else in the world says it's garbage. i just don't put faith in reviewers. they are no different than us except they get paid to say their opinion. that's all it is, their personal opinion. i'm not going to buy a game because themart or enforcerofthetruth tells me to. why should i listen to the reviewers? some games everyone can agree flat out stink, but usually at least a few people are going to like it regardless. i hate gta, madden, socom, ect, but millions of people think they're great. it's like i say about console exclusives. microsoft exclusives aren't better than sony exclusives.(I) just like them better than sony's.

9.2 - Grown Folks Talk

I completely agree with your opinion about not necessarily agreeing with reviewers - or with the masses, for that matter.

But I personally like reviews not only to acquire a GENERAL (not necessarily agreeable) consensus about the game (or movie, or car, etc.), but more as a means to learn details about the game, and what makes it tick, before I commit any money to it. For example, Oblivion may be a fantastic game, but knowing that is a 100+ hour game already tells me that there's no way I'd maintain enough patience to tolerate finishing it (same goes for GTA, by the way).

By all means, I commend your reluctance to just become one of the herd, but it never hurts to know what others think...which I guess is why we're here in the comments section to begin with.

9.3 - i see your point as well

i'm not saying completely disregard everyone else. i make and take suggestions from my friends, but i also have a pretty good grasp of their individual tastes. i'll try almost anything, but as i said, some things you just know aren't your cup of tea (with sugar of course =}.

10 - I'm glad to hear they're almost finished

because I want to see how well they implemented the SIXAXIS. I hope they did something different, I don't want this to be just another dragon game and it looks like it won't be. Looks really fun though, I'll definitely pick this one up.

10.1 -

How many dragon games are there!?

Sixaxis will be cool - I don't think its as half assed a feature as people might think. A guy on 1up said he would only play motorstorm with the motion sensing on - and found it so natural after he got used to it, and was just a much better experience than using the analogues stick...I wanna play with motion sensing!

10.2 - to 10.1

Its about personal preference. I personally didn't like the motion sensing controls in MotorStorm, but it doesn't mean that it automatically sucks in all other games, unless it does, but no way to tell. I'm not Miss Cleo. I can't tell the future.

13 - well that bodes well for me

i'm a big fan of factor fives work and they have always done well with every system they worked for, such an impressive portfolio if you ask me, its true that there has never really been a good dragon game since spyro and panzer dragoon, but yet those were linear in game play dynamics... still fun, but it seems that factor 5 has some more abitious things in mind when it comes to dragon games... see what i dont get is how alot of people are saying that this game wont be as good as it is beause its a game for a sony platform.. i mean just because sony is publishing it and it's appearing on a playstion means it's bad... my word... if factor 5 aligned itself with MS this game would be the talk of the centry and we'd here comments from the mart like "The 360 has better exclusives and stuff..." geeze if people can just look at what it is. Sony provides the platform for devs to create games, if a game is good why do you hate it... in the end it comes to the developers, as far as i'm concerned Factor 5 is independent, and they chose to develop exclusively for sony just as they did with Nintendo in the past, they could have been working on the 360 but the visions of MS and Factor 5 just weren't in the same boat. and that kinda stuff happens, its how the industry works

I agree and disagree with grown folks talk. I think the final fantasies (all 100 of them) are garbage despite what any review says but there are alot of people that like turn based style games. But I'm interested to see how Lair is recieved but at the same time I agree with XTrm because reviews give you information about the game and considering I'm interested in this game but dont know much about it, I will be checking out the reviews.
