Lair's Silence Breaks

Since making its debut at the 2005 PlayStation Meeting, Factor 5's PlayStation 3 exclusive actioner, Lair, has been one of the most talked about (and mysterious) next-generation games around. All those involved -- be it Sony or F5 -- have kept eerily quiet regarding almost every aspect of its production. What it's about, where it takes place, and how it works have only been spoken of in generalities and concrete details have been scarcer than a retailer offering PS3 pre-orders.

In celebration of TGS, Lair's big coming out party, Factor 5 President Julian Eggebrecht agreed to speak with IGN to discuss all things dragon.

Holy F*ck. Yeah, these guys are insane. Too bad IGN didn't post current pictures of the title (they all varied in level of detail and polish, so i think that's what the game looked like at various points in development). But the interview was just an awesome read.

LiquifiedArt7171d ago

WHAT A F#$@#$@# fantastic INTERVIEW PS3 RULES, LAIR ROCKS. ashsahahahahahahahahah

pRo loGic II7171d ago

Whats that green piss color?. It must be the art style.

Retard7170d ago

You piss green? Are you some kinda troll?!!!

THE TRUTH7171d ago

Read the interview, This game CANNOT be done on 360 hardware!!!!!!! And its in full 1080p!!!!

Go ahead and read from the article from start to finish!!!

PS3 is damn powerful and I can't be more excited. If sony says the PS3 is getting a price cut (both SKU's will ship with HDMI ports) it's over, no SERIOUSLY IT'S OVER

Wotbot7170d ago

7 SPU’s with their smaller pre set code could be passed through 6 hardware threads for hyper general core processing, which the 360 has. Can not see it being a problem.

tatical7170d ago

@ THE TRUTH
This game can be done on the 360. But they'd have to rewrite the game engine because its designed around the Cell and RSX, not the 360's 6-threaded CPU or unified shader array of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

Quote from page 5: "When we create a game, we absolutely focus on the platform it is designed around. Would we do one for 360, it would be a different game and a different engine"

Would Gears of War would look as good on the PS3 in its CURRENT form (without massive amounts of reprogramming)? I don't think so.

pRo loGic II7171d ago (Edited 7171d ago )

I know i read the interview, this game was desinged from the ground up for PS3. Just like 360 exclusive games couldn't be done on PS3. It's all over for Sony if MS releases a bigger HD. MS has Tons of thing up their sleves and we have 7 days left you really think MS would reveal the best of what they have first lol.

Bhai7171d ago

3 cores is a subset of 7 core/SPEs, a 7 cannot be stuffed into 3 but a 3 can easily be supported by 7. You 'stink' man, don't you know this is called porting ?! And by the way, there is also no logic or game out there to support your comment, neither has any other developer made such an indirection !!! HaHaHa !.

Solid Snake7170d ago

What do they have! Nothing in my estimation, what they gonna do give the 360 away for nothing lol, i'm sure they would, but there money grabbers, even if they did give it away i'm sure no one would even take it lol, where the Fake Deal, is he banned yes he must be Lol hahhahaha!

Scythesean7170d ago

are you bringing out specs from over a year ago? Man that's a shame.. You have nothing better then info done OVER a year ago with out info on the real specs of the ps3?

achira7170d ago

oh, ms releases a bigger hd ? oh this owns of course everything ! no this was a joke. do you want to pay 300 bucks for 50 gb drive ? dumb ms moron. what do you want with this space if the console is crap ? buy a ps3 and be happy !

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7712d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde19d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy19d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga20d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga19d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman19d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger19d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box20d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion19d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7220d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7520d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14920d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7720d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
