Lair Release Date Announced

Gaming Today Reports:

You see that date up there my friends? That's the date that PS3 owners will be looking forward to because not only does it mean the long awaited, highly anticipated Lair comes out, but it also is the date where the PS3 software "drought" officially ends and the good games begin to roll out.

Not only has the release date been revealed today, but also it's been revealed that we can all expect a Lair demo to hit the Playstation Network sometime in July. Here's hoping it'd happen near the 4th of July. What better way to ring in America's independence by burning up some soldiers and and then eating them while they still cry in agonizing pain.

At least it's confirmed (the release date), I was getting annoyed at it slowly rising every now and then. A week later than it was before, but I'll be on vacation anyway so I can't pick it up till the end of August. Oh well, hopefully the demo is in early July.

Nice, a fanboy went through this article giving most of us disagrees. How sad, probably has nothing better to do =).

Kleptic6882d ago

yeah I hope the demo is soon too...but..."they", as in not Sony, said we would see a Lair demo in June...and we didn't (last update for June was today)...and Sony never says anything about it until a day or two before...so we will see I guess...

I noticed the date creeping up too though for this game...it was early July at first, then mid, then late, then early August...now mid August

23478ueyur_9382236882d ago

It'd be unfortunate if the demo came out late July/August, but at least Sigma is out next week, so there's something to play until Lair. =)

Covenant6882d ago

Still wish I had this for my 360. However, one of my friends just bought a PS3, and he intends to get this. So maybe I'll get to play it after all.

23478ueyur_9382236882d ago (Edited 6882d ago )

Having friends that live close by with other systems certainly is good eh?

I have two close-by friends with 360s, and another with the Wii. So we rotate around when good games come out.

(I guess fanboys do not even read what they are disagreeing to. That, or they are so infatuated with their 1 console that they would NEVER go to a buddy's to play one of the others. Behold, these are the lowlifes who epitomize fanboyism.)

Covenant6882d ago

Hell hath no fury like a fanboy scorned.

I'm just wondering what they're disagreeing with. The fact that I'm secure enough (and mature enough) to be willing to play a game on a competing system?

For the record, the same friend with the PS3 wants me to show him how to play Gears. And later, Halo 3.

And, we're both thrilled that DMC4 is coming to both of our systems.

What's wrong with that?

23478ueyur_9382236882d ago

Agreed again. Good to see more people who care about games rather than console superiority.

MK_Red6882d ago

Awesome, its really close. Its been a while since MotorStorm, last PS3 exclusive and its not a normal game, its the Lair. I hope this is the game to show PS3's power.

23478ueyur_9382236882d ago

I think it'll do a good job at utilising the Cell, but it'll take time before we see developers maximizing its abilites. I think Eggebrecht (if that's how you spell it) said himself that they'll just be scratching the surface of what they can do this time around.

I still expect some greatness to come from this.

funkysolo6882d ago (Edited 6882d ago )

I just saw the control scheme, it's pretty cool. Seems like they really put alot of effort into this game. All I been hearing is great things about this game, made me want to pick it up.

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-ur2127d 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 .

BeRich2332127d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya2127d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja2127d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands2127d 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.

HarryMasonHerpderp2127d ago

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

jaymacx2127d 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

darthv722604d ago (Edited 2604d 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_red2604d 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.

darthv722604d ago

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

gangsta_red2604d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker2603d 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.

DrumBeat2603d 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.

pietro12122604d ago (Edited 2604d ago )

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

notachance2604d ago

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

thorstein2604d ago

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

JonathanHarris2603d 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!

NarutoFox2604d ago

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo2604d 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.

Dreamcatcher452604d ago

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

hulk_bash19872604d ago (Edited 2604d 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.

notachance2604d ago

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

Prubar2604d 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.

rainslacker2603d 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.

JonathanHarris2603d 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!

TheEnigma3132604d ago

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

robtion2603d 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 Pumblechook2891d ago

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

PygmelionHunter2891d ago

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

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2891d ago

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

Dragonscale2891d ago

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

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

Knushwood Butt2890d 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.

Darkwatchman2891d ago (Edited 2891d 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.

SierraGuy2890d ago (Edited 2890d 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.

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

yeahright22891d 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.

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.
