PSU Updates Lair Preview...New Information

New information from research and PSU's interview with Julian Eggebrecht with a new preview update. If you are looking for up-to-date info on the title this is the place to go.

Also there is a full gallery of images if you are looking for new and old screenshots.

lil bush6963d ago

lair is gonna be one of the best games of this year, and it has everything going for it........

simply can not wait for this game........

TheExecutive6963d ago

im not sure there is anything new in this article, but it is a good read for those who don't know much about it. I have a feeling this game is going to be very, very impressive.

BitbyDeath6963d ago

There were some bits on the story i didn't know about, but not sure if i just didn't pick up on it earlier or if it is actually new.

I wonder how long it'll take to fly from one corner of the map to the other. Anyone know how big Oblivion is in comparison?

NoUseMerc6963d ago

Well its basically new information thats been gathered over the past few months from new videos, GDC, and hands on with the game along with PSU's interview they had with Julian.

So there might not be new info if you have been up-to-date on Lair. For everyone else, its a great read and should get your excited for the game!

TheExecutive6963d ago

Bitby, that would be interesting to see how it does compare to Oblivion. I'm sure someone with a lot of time on their hands will do that when it comes out.

NoUseMerc- I agree this is a good overview of what this game is actually about

sonarus6963d ago

I am not gonna lie. Been a lil skeptical about lair but the trailers have been awesome. Gamplay movies awesome. But if it gets anythin less than a 9. rating on ign am going to be dissapointed. I'll still buy the game though not like i have that many games to play anyway. Hopefully this will be the game to stick it to gears. If not there always the real gow III (god of war)

TheExecutive6963d ago

well even if it gets below a 9 on IGN I will still buy it (believe it or not those guys dont know everything). I also dont think that it needs to beat gears graphically. In fact, if it comes even close it already beats gears. gears is a FPS, so if an open world (32kmx32km) looks even close to gears I think it is more impressive. I was skeptical about the game at first too, but the more I learn about this game the more excited I am for it.

sonarus6963d ago

yea ign dnt know everything but i do wonder how fun can it be riding dragons and burning ppl. i am still skeptical about it but in the end my curiosity will get the best of me.

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."

Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .

Game-ur2163d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2332163d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya2163d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja2163d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands2163d ago

I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.

HarryMasonHerpderp2163d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx2163d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.

How often do disappointing games get remakes

darthv722640d ago (Edited 2640d ago )

well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.

I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.

gangsta_red2640d ago

"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"

But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.

darthv722640d ago

^nothing disappointing about howard the duck. It is cheesy 80's goodness.

gangsta_red2640d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker2639d ago

@Gangsta

Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.

Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.

DrumBeat2639d ago

The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.

Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.

pietro12122639d ago (Edited 2639d ago )

FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.

notachance2639d ago

yes, I was giving an example of disappointing games remade to be a great game

thorstein2639d ago

Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.

JonathanHarris2639d ago

It's really not super often, but it does happen!

Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).

It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.

Thanks for reading my article!

NarutoFox2640d ago

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo2640d ago

The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.

Dreamcatcher452640d ago

Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.

hulk_bash19872640d ago (Edited 2640d ago )

It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.

notachance2640d ago

gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay

Prubar2639d ago

I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.

rainslacker2639d ago

I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.

JonathanHarris2639d ago

I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.

Thanks for reading my article!

TheEnigma3132640d ago

The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.

robtion2639d ago

I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.

Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.

15 Worst PlayStation Exclusive Games of All Time

PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.

Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.

Mr Pumblechook2927d ago

When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.

PygmelionHunter2927d ago

The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2927d ago

That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s

Dragonscale2927d ago

As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.

hulk_bash19872927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

Haha you completely missed or are willfully ignorant of the intent of this article. It clearly says worst PS Exclusive Games of All Time.

A Haze 2 or reboot would be nice!

NonShinyGoose2927d ago

RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.

Knushwood Butt2926d ago

They tried something new and it failed.

The initial price point was low but a large amount of content was locked behing DLC

These days you often pay full price up front and get the same concept.

Darkwatchman2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

Didn’t the list just have ridge racer on Vita? Because the Vita ridge racer was a dumpster fire at $40 with next to no cars or tracks. It was such an incomplete experience. As the article states, it felt more like a full priced demo than an actual game. Psp ridge racer had so much more to it.

SierraGuy2926d ago (Edited 2926d ago )

All early ridge racers had next to no cars...game was great because of its graphics, controls, fun factor. Nothing could touch it on PS1.

Socom 4, I guess you could say that was an AWFUL/TERRIBLE Socom game. BUT it was an okay game if it didn't have the word Socom in the title.

To save you from clicking those annoying slides:

solideagle2927d ago

thank you for the list. I believe he should listed PSVR titles as VR....

yeahright22927d ago

I love when people do this to sites that try to artificially up their clicks by forcing one click per entry. But I will say maybe let's leave off the first entry so they get the one click. Both so N4g gets whatever they're due for pushing traffic to their site and to send a message to the site that you only get one click.

Gaming_1st2927d ago

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.

Dragonscale2927d ago

Don't need to. I avoid it like the plague regardless lol.

Hardiman2927d ago

When certain sites have articles on here I just look at the comments.

FinalFantasyFanatic2926d ago

Sites are lucky if I click once or twice, half a dozen or more clicks is more effort than I'm willing for a list that may or may not suck.

I feel Knack or Ridge Racer shouldn't be on there.

Dragonscale2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

Maybe not knack but it's understandable, its not the best game tbh. Dunno bout ridge racer.

SierraGuy2926d ago

Ridge racer should never be on a worst list. FU gaming bolt crap.

Cant argue with Bravo Team, that game really did suck.

GBG_Jason2926d ago

Bless. I stopped after 1 because of it.

Have to say that is a pretty crappy list. I remember being so pissed with Twisted Metal 3 after TM2.
