Factor 5 to release a control scheme fix for Lair? |
Ó
We all know that Lair had a rocky start with most PS3 gamers, suffering from its rather quirky and complicated controls. However, it looks like there's a possibility that Factor 5 will make a control fix in order to make the game a tad easier and more manageable, if one were to read between the lines of Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht's statement:If we find a chance in the future that would bring Lair to the audience which didn't get any access, that would be fantastic...I can't say anything quite yet, but there might be something in the works there. We might have a chance yet to bring those back to the table and hopefully, if that should happen, they would give the game a second chance.
Eggebrecht also acknowledged the fact that most gamers, as well as critics, did not take Lair's control system well, which led to an incredibly mixed reception. He did mention his own misgivings, however. "I hope that a lot of people realize that underlying the problem they had with the base control, there actually was a really good game there. That's at least what I think," said F5's president.
He also said that one lesson that they learned from Lair is that they should have released the game with different control schemes, especially if the main control scheme is something new and may take a while to get used to.

I liked the control scheme to Lair.. but since I couldnt actually afford any retail games when I got my PS3, I downloaded a few demos and cheap PSN titles.. including Super Rub a Dub.. which I actually play a lot. SIXAXIS just takes practice.
Of course, such practice is impossible for friends and visitors interested in trying out the game.. and I think thats where the game fell flat. Even if it produced interest by demo and word of mouth, it required a necessary skill set before picking it up in order to enjoy it.
If a control patch comes out, I'll definitely give the game another run through and Im sure I have a few friends who would love to try it out too.
The game is exceedingly beautiful.
I think interest in this game is mostly gone by now. They should have released a patch months ago since the controls killed any likability this game had.
A bit VERY late, but better late than never....
