GDC 08: Lair analog patch confirmed

Posted Feb 21, 2008 at 10:12PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: Factor 5, motion-sensing, SIXAXIS

For those of us who have spent some quality time with Factor 5's dragon flight simulator for the PlayStation 3, Lair, here's some very good news: the highly-rumored upcoming patch that would give players the option to choose analog controls is now confirmed, and has an ETA of this year's first quarter. Yes!

This news comes direct from this year's Games Developer Conference, where Factor 5 seems to have held a demo of the game with the patch installed. An attendee from IGN's own words can only describe our own elation:

I played it and Holy shit; Greg needs to give them a new score. It was kind of clear that Factor 5 put in the extra effort a little begrudgingly, but the results were amazing. This might push me over the edge into the Â“must buy PS3Â” territory.

Hopefully, they also fixed all the other issues plaguing the game. If they have, then Lair is going to be a very, very fine game indeed, one that deserves a re-playthrough. Updates as we get them!

# LOL — Kingofdaberbz 2008-02-21 20:29

Who was actually stupid enough to buy such a awful game lol.It's too late this should of came out b4 the game was even shipped lol.

# The two 360 idiots above — Thinker 2008-02-22 01:50

Hi Folks,

I think most people know this by now, but in case anybody doesn't nllx and Kingofdaberbz are two 360 fanboys who had nothing better to do, saw some MORE good news for the PS3, and so decided to indulge in some more pointless console-bashing.

Ignore these two idiots.

Regards,

Thinker

# the fanboys — ks4life 2008-02-22 03:13

lol seems like there is nothing good going on on the green side. instead they come here out of jealousy

# Are you serious — Manny151 2008-02-22 03:29

Dude you got to tell me who has it for 20 bucks. I live in Orlando FL, would this be a local store where you live or is it a major retailer? Or are you just messing with us?

# That was... — Silver-Tiger 2008-02-22 05:25

exactly what I was thinking...

# To Silver-Tiger — Thinker 2008-02-22 05:43

You know, as much as people don't like to admit it, envy and jealousy figure just as much into their actions as other feelings.

I can understand what nllx and kingofnothing are probably going through as they see a spate of good news on a console they haven't bought for games they cannot get. I can understand their probable feelings of envy and jealousy, but I cannot sympathize. That is why I regarded both these trolls as idiots.

# Share the good news — Thinker 2008-02-22 05:57

Hey Spicyhamster,

I agree with Manny. Please let us know if we can get this game somewhere for that much. I have wanted this game for quite some time, but had held back because of the Control issues. And if I can get this game for just 20 bucks, that would be real sweet.

# sorry dev — xche78x 2008-02-22 08:06

stubborn fools should have done this immediately.

its too lately for any re-review of sort.

thanks for the patch anways it will come in handy.

# paperweight — spicyhamster 2008-02-22 11:27
