Lair Nears The Finish Line: Official site updated with new info and other material
32
Ryan Hamlyn Associate Producer of SCEA posts:
"Hey everyone, I'm Ryan Hamlyn, I'm the associate producer for Lair. It's been a long haul-almost 2 years for me, and even longer for some of the team over at our developer, Factor 5-but putting the finishing touches on the game and now seeing all our work culminate into a finished product is very exciting.

Good to hear its near finish. I still fear that framerate problems may hurt the final game. Hope when the game arrives, its so good that non of these problems matter. (Or even better, all of them are fixed)

If the framerate problems are really glaring, they'll delay the game to fix it...Again.
If it's just in a certain spot, they'll let it go. Tons of games this generation have framerate drops when too much is going on... Minus Resistance which is one of the only games this generation with above average graphics to never even stutter.

I hope theres no frame rate problem cause as he stated himself "I’ve spent every free moment I’ve had lately playing this game, looking for bugs and places to add polish." I cant wait for the demo, hopefully its the same day as E3.

3 - Get ready for a stinking pile of gameplay
This game looks GOOD but it's hurt by the crappy textures all over the place. However, I think the most glaring problem will be GAMEPLAY. Can this game hold up to 10 hours of dragon riding? Shoot fireball, attack dragon, shoot fireball at soliders on ground, fight giant lizard, shoot fireball, fight dragon...etc.
That is going to get old really , really fast.

Then why didn't Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Rogue Leader and Mario Brothers get old fast? They all consist of thoroughly constant gameplay types and the only thing that changed between them were environments and enemy types.
Shut up man.

Hey idiot,
DMC = Multiple COMBOS to learn, Weapons to weild, Powers to master.
NG = Multiple COMBOS to learn, Weapons to weild, Powers to master.
GOW = Multiple COMBOS to learn, Weapons to weild, Powers to master.
Additionaly these games all had some slight PUZZLES to break up the repatition. Also some dialog helped move the story along.
LAIR has none of that. What is the combo? Fireball, scratch, active time event fireball.
It just doesn't / won't have staying power. Get mad if you want but you know I am right.

3.3 - You haven't played the game yet and you already know that there are no combos
This is the stupidest thing someone has said. From what I seen It looks like a good gaming experiance, There are different types of dragons with different abilities, the sixaxis controls seem like a good experiance, and the story looks good, not to mention the graphics look awsome.
Kevincox you're an idiot and it shows keep playing your FPS not my cup of tea. I like one or 2 of them but I rather play 3rd person because I can see my charactor and how he reacts to their surroundings. That's why the only game I play on my 360 is gears of war everything else just seems more of the same with different costumes. But eveyone has different tastes and it's ok I'm not trying to change what games you like but to say Lair looks repetive when you haven't even played it, it's just being a hypocrite. stop being a fanboy and give props when they are due and lair gets props for going in a different direction.

Dude, I'm not getting angry with you. I just don't think you have the right to judge the game when no one has seen anything of yet.
I'd be more then happy to tell you that: You're right, if what you say is true.
These people spent 2 years of their lives making this game, I don't think they want this to be a shallow experience you get what I'm saying?

Ignorance is bliss. If you would inform yourself before you speak you would know that the developer has said that the game will have combos that you will learn as you progress through the game. There will also be leader boards to help keep you playing.

3.7 - I played the game do you want me to inform you about it?
I played the game already at a private event before ps3 was released. The graphics were great but, the framerate was iffy (which has been fixed). If you want to know anything about the game you should just ask me instead of troll around without having any knowledge of the game.

Lair has upgradeable dragons, complicated combos to learn for special moves to kill fellow dragon riders...which increase as the game goes on. Plus puzzle elements, different objectives, free roaming, a strong story, captivating music, and epic landscape.
Fact is...neither you or I have played it. BUT, I have already disproved THIS statement from you: "Multiple COMBOS to learn, Weapons to weild, Powers to master.
Additionaly these games all had some slight PUZZLES to break up the repatition. Also some dialog helped move the story along.

3.3 - Yeah FPS get old too since all you doing is shooting shooting shooting and more shooting
This is the stupidest thing someone has said. every game has a set of moves no matter what game it is and that's all you do, it's up to the story to keep you interested and the visuals help with the whole experiance.
---------------------------
Dumbass, in shootes you have about 15 different weapons. Most have duplicate firing modes. Lair has.... fireball....claw....breath fire.
It is going to get old. You can ignore me but you know I am right. Let me know how you feel about it 1 week after buying it and you realize that that's it to the game. I hope it sits there haunting you ...laughing at you...mocking you.
"You want your $60.00 back"
"Well you can't have it back"
Have you realized that most shooters no have a slight gimick to them?
Why because you can't just continue to sell the same product under a different names. See Fear, darkness, HL2, Farcry. Don't get mad, just get educated.

Okay, I need to jump in here. Man, unfortunately you don't know what you are talking about probably because some people above didn't really give good examples. Let me have a try:
Xwing vs Tie Fighter or ANY Star Wars flight shoot em up for that matter. Look at how many they sold. No power-ups to speak of or different weapons, yet sold crazily well and highly regarded.
Ace Combat series: again all you do is shoot and no power-ups.
and a LOT of flight sims
But for the best example:
Panzer Dragoon: That game is legendary to some people and is very highly rated, yet sort of the same formula.
The ONLY argument you could even think about bringing up is that there are different types of ships, however no has said that that is the only dragon you'll be able to ride especially since they have confirmed downloadable content which will be coming out.
Lair seems to do a lot more than these game mentioned, because there's physical combat as well (not in Ace Combat, or a lot of PC flight sims)
ground combat at anytime and it isn't on rails (like Panzer Dragoon, yet that was a amazing game)
You might as well say that Forza 2 and GT5 are crap because all you ever do is err......drive lol
This should be good, though of course I haven't played it yet to be sure.......
.....but then again, neither have you.

8 - good job..
they are first in this kind of games.. so dont expect a PERFECT game..
needless to say.. its obvious
and They did a good job.. there is plenty of COmbos,puzzles,objectives,drag ons,places to explore and so on..
so dont think u have a 1 dragon all the game with just 2 kind of shooting and just 1 boss to kill .. at Kevoncox :P

13 - I'm sorry my comments have angered so many...
I know that they are alot of you guys that are looking forward to this game. I am sorry if my comments have caused you any greif. I am not to big to apologize over the net. I have 1 view of this game and i have done enough research on it. We will see who is correct. Expect me to rub it in as many faces because I am correct. I would expect you all to rub it in my face as well. Until then I will reserve my judgement to until the game has been released.
Lastly, to those that said everyone who playe dit find it amazing...
you have to realize that hype can carry a game so far. Look at MGS2. The hype of this game reached epic levels. However, the finished product had a huge drop off in refinement that the original MGS had( my favorite game). Yet, all reviewers at the time gave it a 9.7. Looking back on it, it was an 8.5 @ best. Back to the point, the first time you get some hands on with the game it's almost always a WOW factor, espically with the graphics being th emain selling point of this game.

13.2 - Wow,kevoncox
You just need to go to the corner and be quiet for a while bro. Your whole argument is so ridiculous I am at a loss as to where I should begin.
You compare Lair to the likes of God of War, Ninja Gaiden, etc. If you have not noticed these games are not the same. Lair is an action flight game incase you missed that nugget of info.
Also to make such strong statements about a game that has not been released, everyone is entitled to their opinion bro, but the way you stated yours was really dumb. A better way would have been to say "from what YOU have seen this far, the game doesn't seem to be your cup of tea because you aren't into flight games and you are not sure how they will go about making the game contain more variety, because from what you have seen it looks really repetitive". See, this statement is an opinion without trying to seem like you know something you really don't. I have seen your comments and you are not an industry insider so unless you can understand that you should just STFU. Good gaming bro.
