Lair, a stunning-looking dragon slaying game from Factor 5, was showcased at CES in Las Vegas. While there’s no release date announced, it looks quite polished and could be one of the better PS3 games. Second video after the jump.

1Lair looks pretty sweet indeed, but as we all know, graphics ain’t all.

2Well for me on the high end next gen consoles graphics mean just about everything. Gameplay is great and all but when looking at HD games if the graphics suck chances are I won’t replay the game. Not so on a gameplay focused system like the Wii … I already know going in not to expect the high end graphics so on that system gameplay is definitely greater than graphics. At least that is how I see things but of course I know not everyone has the same POV and I can definitely respect that when it comes to this thread especially.

3Anything short of those graphics and you’d be ripped off, considering the game’s next gen. But alas, it looks kool.

4forgot to mention the very choppy frame-rate & shallowness of gameplay, the game becoming boring after half na hour…

Fool the game isn’t even finished! So you can’t say jacksh*t! If your talking about that preview post at kikizo, guy wrote that isn’t even a true gamer. They expect that to be one of titles running true 1080P 60fps. But to do that takes a lot of time and manhours. They didn’t have time with Resistance and Motorstorm to get that stuff done, like before the Japanese release of Motorstorm. I have it and I can tell you first hand even at 720P it’s one of the most playable, fun games I’ve in a long time. It’s going to be a great game on U.S. launch with online play and in the other stages. If you played a demo for 30 seconds on a kiosk. You ain’t playin the real thing, so keep your mouth shut!
BTW Did you read Kikizo’s Monster Motorstorm review while there?
As far as Lair the graphics are going to set it appart from anything else. The Combat with Sixaxis will be incredible as you go in for the kill and freefall back to your own dragon in first person no less. The only thing they had ready for that editor was cineramic view.
So don’t think your *sswipe opinion will influence anybody, when you haven’t played it 5 seconds, let alone 30 minutes! If your going to pick on something, pick on a game that’s been released and something you know first freakin hand. Then I’ll take you serious. Until then your nobody’s God and you can get slapped down just like the rest of us!

6Oh so you develop games for the Saturn deceased console. Oh great another God of the Gameboy Advanced thinking he knows everything. First off, your name already indicates who you THINK you are.
Factor 5, which is responsible for Star Wars games ALONG with Lucas Arts, have stated after a preview from 6 months ago that any choppiness seen at TGS would be gone. What? Did Factor 5 refuse to hire you??? Or oh I see you are a janitor at Factor 5 and have all the inside information. If you do not work for Factor 5 as a Developer, then you know Jack Sh*t! Go crawl back in your Romanian hellhole and hypernate like some kind of dragonian creature you are.
You’re words don’t hold merit! A good honest developer, would not say anything, because they know how fast things come together during production finals, on a day to day basis. Then optomizing the game mechanics can make a monster difference in the final days. Look and feel completely different from the last week before. If you are really a pro Dev then you would know that! Then you wouldn’t assume you know more than one the best developer group in the world! Nothings Ever Final, till it’s Final!!!

8And Game God I’ll bet I’ve done more raw coding than YOU! And that on more advanced equipment than you’ve ever had the pleasure of owning, let alone to look at! Not Game Code, but code just the same assembly to C++!
I’m not some little game fan boy and am older than you can imagine. I happened to play Panzer Dragoon on both the Saturn and Xbox! The game was good. And it’s sad that Saturn didn’t make it. Even though it was one of the more advanced consoles of the erra. But to claim that Panzer Dragoon is in any way remotely equivalent to Lair is stretching it beyond your senile, infantalic imagination!
I am more familiar with computer technologies than your deaf, dumb and blind observations are capable of perceiving!

9I, on the other hand, am not a programmer, I play games on a midgrade PC, and I know immaturity when I see it. You know who I’m talking about. This “my penis is bigger than yours” crap has gone on too long.
I own a Wii, and I’d have to say that for anyone to hate it so much is quite unreasonable. Some people around here make it sound like the Wii killed their puppy. It didn’t.
Having said that, the Wii shouldn’t have even come up at all in an article about a PS3 game.

10No I’ve never played a ps3, but please, link me to a comment where I bash it. I can’t remember ever bashing it, you’ve been assuming all this time.
Heh, and you judge the experience by playing it in a shop? Go to a friends place for an hour and play one. Take it seriously. You might be suprised.

12You have no point. Learn to read. You never asked me to love ps3, i never asked you to love Wii. I don’t bash ps3 because i havn’t played it, but you bash wii because you’re too obsessed with it being a kiddy thing and won’t judge it properely. That’s my point. What’s yours?

13Personally because you’re a sony fanboy, or from lack of experience?

14You could play any game for a few minutes and not like it. The first time I tried using a mouse I found it weird and hard. The first time I rode a bike it was weird and hard, the Wiimote takes a bit of getting used to, and even I thought it was a bit silly while getting used to it. But honestly, now I use it as easily as a mouse. You can’t judge an entire console by the first 5 minutes of playing it, especially if it has a totally new control scheme. I’m not force feeding you anything, I’m simply saying that it’s not fair to bash something without giving it proper time and experience for fair judgement.
But you are right with the ‘judging a console after a year after it’s release’ because it takes a while for a console to gather a good round of games and support. People can’t say any console is the best right now. You could say the ‘winner’ so far is the xbox360 since it has sold larger amounts and has more games etc, but it doesn’t mean it’s the best console of the time.
Eh.. I’m done.

15I should have mentioned that I was talking about the new consoles (ps3, wii, 360). NOT the ps2 etc.
And I wasn’t saying ANYTHING about graphics.
Reply to what I actually DID say. Might make more sence.
