Screenshots: More high res Lair goodness |
Ó
Since we're eagerly waiting to get our hands on Lair to see if the game lives up to the hype, we're surfing through the chaos that is the intertubes (thank you John Stewart) in search for more preview media on Factor 5's dragon saturated action game.
A quick look at German site GameFront, rewards us with several high-res screens. Here be the plunder:
We're now worried that the lack of an HDTV will immensely detract the overall enjoyment of playing this game. Although there is debate on the quality and the style of the game's graphics, we believe its safe to say that the dragon-y crispness of Lair definitely requires an up to date home theater system.
Oh for the want of a proper monitor. Our wallets weep.

This is one of those games that truly showcase the power of the PS3.
Factor5 is an amazing company for making it look this good.
I can't wait! thankfully, i have an HDTV to enjoy this on. and i agree, this will showcase the ps3's power.
and to be quite honest, i'm glad that this is an exclusive. not because of competition, but because if it wasn't an exclusive, developers wouldn't be able to produce such a high quality game since they need 1 format to adapt for 2 consoles. since it's an exclusive, they can really rip apart the cells power =)
It certainly has potential!!!
Hope it lives up to the hype.
Gimme! Looking great!!! I WILL buy this game!!!
it not even uses 25% of it ;)
from the pics this games looking better then gow
but can you get off that damn dragon in this game and fight on land? if not im good i dont want to fly around as a dragon all damn day
it can deliver what it's promising or this will be a very big blow to Sony
If there's one thing Sony can do - it's hype.
Lair? Will live up to it, Sony has never hyped a title that has flopped. And factor 5 are great developers.
Will it run at 1080p and 60fps? Yes it will.
This game looks stunning and the SIXAXIS will suit this game very well.
Thumbs up to Sony this year there are some AAA+++ Qualtiy titles coming out on PS3 and one especially on PS2... God of War 2 - hands down the best franchise... ever!
Verdict? 2007 is the year of the PS3. The games look absolutely stunning.
Those dragons are stunning. I really like on the ground shots you can see the bad guys aren't posing in the same positions for the screen capture(unlike i've seen in some recent high profile fps's--which makes for a cheesy screenshot). My only qualm is that the structures and the background look a little plastic or generic, hopefully this is just an artifact of the static capture, but I noticed the castle design/palatte was kinda boring in the old e3 vid.
God of War (which used the acronym GOW before Gears of War) is a PS2 title so the likelihood of this game having better graphics is really high.
P.S. I noticed several publications use Gears as short for Gears of War, but found it odd that somehow GOW got taken over by Gears... weird no?
from what I've seen, I'm pretty sure you can get off the dragon. but dont quote me on that...
Notice how MS Fanboys just silenced all of the sudden LOL
sssssshhhhhhhhh hhhh!!!!!
(they'll hear you)
What..you Didnt Download the Gameplay Demo..
You Dismount and face [hundreds]...no Kiddin...its Hundreds of Foot Spldiers on the Ground.
i wish i could download gameplay demo i havent bought my ps3 yet i cant find 1 :'(
Yup another CGI screen shots the way sony hype their games lame
GAMEFRONT owns the news and the Hi Res pic.
dont worry HDTV are fastly becoming affortable nowadays.
On behalf of Factor 5 and Sony, you think this is pre-rendered therefore confirming our belief that the PS3 is the most powerful system out. +D
Get one from eBay, you can get them Buy It now under recommended retail price. I seen a few 60Gs for $550.
He's right. They are all CGI screen shots.
If you watched the HD videos of the gameplay footage, then you would realize, this is what the game looks like.
Saying that its all CGI is just proving that the PS3 can out-do the 360.
I'm sorry this is the game not CGI bacause you can watch the video if you search.
But I'm Happy because this is the prove that Ps3 can do better than X360.
I have seen the videos and i have heard the reviews from people that played it at CES.
The screen shots are CGI scenes, that's all I'm saying. Don't get your hopes up Vietone. The game will be nice if it can get past it's frame rate issues caused by the 1080p development. But all the hype around it has been generated by CGI movies and screen shots. I can't beleive this crap got posted when we should be getting in game demo shots.
If you want to post some links to some in game footage that i may not have seen, please go ahead.
It looks good, but not THAT good!
Factor 5 are known for great graphics but not for great gameplay, so hopefully Lair will be different. And I'm hoping they can sort out the serious frame rate problems recently seen in CES.
If so, then it has *potential* to be a great game, but right now I'm sceptical because of hand-on reports (especially the dragon fights) and because it's from Factor 5.
Fingers crossed they'll get THIS one right in the end!
Wow screenshots and CGI movies! I've never seen quality like that before on the 360's games (being sarcastic.) If you're looking for proof the PS3 is better graphically, you're not going to find it. There will be no 1080p because PS3 just can't do it well. If it somehow does have 1080p, it will have massive slowdown or they will need to greatly reduce the detail or polygon count. Keep on hoping and praying if it makes you feel better.
"Will it run at 1080p and 60fps? Yes it will."
OK Mr. developer, whatever you say.
Seriously, they couldn't even get motorstorm 1080p at 60fps or even split screen play, despite numerous delays. If this game really has this much going on at once, it will be 720p at 30fps. Sorry for giving you the reality check there, but you're spreading lies and hype sony style. I bet it does have good CG movies though.
I don't know how the sixaxis controller will make it better. It seems all it can do now is the equivelant of pressing a button or moving an analog stick.
Accept it, PS3 just doesn't have the power, neither does the 360. Why do you have such unrealistic expectations?
Game looks as average as Eragon on the 360,if you think this game looks good then go look at hd games on the 360 this game looks cack but the worst thing is you are hyping it up and you have NOT played even a demo have you?.
Below is a Lair Review from an unbiased gamer. He also gave the 360 crackdown a ho-hum review, so it's nothing to do with the system the games are on to this gamer.
"The first thing that I noticed while watching the game was that the graphics didn%u2019t really impress me as much as I thought they would. After watching the trailer, I was expecting a more refined and flowing experience, but quickly realized the fact that it was made with entirely CGI. The in game graphics were much murkier with very unimpressive character models and effects. The demo took place mostly around a battle on a bridge, and although from afar it looked like a scene from Lord of the Rings (featuring the exact same color pallet) when you got up close you noticed the lack of refinement. When you were flying, the soldiers battling on the bridge looked fairly impressive, but when you got up close to try and land and breath fire on them, they looked like PS1 gen characters from Metal Gear Solid, all jerky with pre-scripted actions. When the dude in front of me finally got tired of playing (or maybe he just got sick of me breathing down his neck) I grabbed the controller and tried my hand at controlling the beast. As I am sure you know, most of the action takes place in the air, and you must control the dragon with the sixaxis controller, tilting it from one side to the other and up and down. I thought that I would be ready to go after using a similar scheme for the MotoStorm demo, but was quickly brought down to earth. That damn dragon was HARD to control, especially when trying to attack other air bound enemies. Admittedly I only played it for around ten minutes but I never felt as though I got the hang of it. I kept accidentally going the wrong way, losing enemies and getting frustrated, and that is the exact word that I would use to describe my time with that game. I think that I could get used to the controls with time, but I don%u2019t know if I would want to. There is really something to be said for intuitive and at this point %u201Cold school%u201D controls (joysticks and buttons) and I feel that this game may have benefited from them. I know that this was a beta build, and they will most likely iron out the problems and upgrade the graphics, but if they don%u2019t I would say that this game would be on my short list of big disappointments ."

This is hands on experience people. Those screenshots are CGI shots. Vietone hasn't played this game. And he hasn't seen any HD in game videos either.
Notice how Sony Fanboys just silenced all of the sudden LOL
i can honestly say i own a 360 and im looking for a ps3 but thats not he point go on gametrailers they have *****king videos of ingame gameplay go check it out it looks amazing jsut stop hating for 1 *****king sec and try looking at something in a diff way then oo thats ugly and ***** because its on sp3 the gfx are gorgous and yes the ps3 can do 1080p at playabl frame rates dont get amd that the 360 doesnt have 1080p games. Get which ever system suits your eneds then thats that stop insulting everything yous ee
There is something wrong with these xbox 360 fanboys they just cant admit the truth. I have yet to get a ps3 but i can honestly say i have never seen graphics like this on the 360. Let them think its CG (which it is not) they are only hyping this game even more.
Here is the Lair trailer

Click on Lair trailer
It look pretty amazing, that's the game everyone was expecting.
Here is a game play vid.
http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=32697
It doesn't look that great at all, how disappointing.
They are CG screenshot no doubt. Lair is a disappointment, i actually thought this game would be good. It's average.
100% fanboy above me just becauses 360 dont have this game dont get mad
lol, no I just haven't fallen for sony's bullshhh yet. Lair is the only PS3 game I was mildly interested in and it blowing.
360 owners go back to your own forums we have had enough of you jealous bull*****
just because were losers doesnt mean you have to rub it in
Uh you are doing exactly what you are accusing CeCiL of, so try to learn how not to be a douche bag before making a 'tard of yourself.
I just wish that Factor5 would release a gameplay vid rather than peaople trying to pass off low-quality off-screen vids as a measure for the graphics. If someone believed them shame on them, but what a dumb@ss to actually think it himself.
Not that it would really matter cause said person would probably think that it looks like Shrek or FFVII:AC and say its pre-rendered, which anyone with eyes can tell those screens aren't pre-rendered.
P.S. Everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in a game(realtime/pre-rendered) is "computer generated" and hence CG. I mean look at the pretty web page... oh wait maybe its too pretty, so pretty it has to be CG!
Mwuahahaha!
have you played the motorstorm demo?
It kicks ass and looks amazing.
What are you complaining about Common Sense?
why are thare 360 fans on the PS3 forum? i understand that somtimes storys are on both forums, but this is only for PS3. anyone that only likes the 360 thats on this forum just came here to flame, cuase thares no reason for you to be here, unless you think thay put the story of gears of war 2 in the wrong section
sarcasm
Oh yeahhh..., SONY *never* uses pre-rendered cut scenes to hype up and promote their games... Cuz every one remembers how all the FF and MGS games on the PS2 turned out JUST like the 'gameplay' videos shown before they were released. Or the "gameplay videos" for Kill Zone 2 and Motor Storm... Cuz I know EVERY ONE agrees Motor Storm looks JUST like the first video shown at E3 in 05.
And a playable Kill Zone demo hasn't shown up still becuz Motor Storm is just too much for gamers to handle...
So everyone please stop talking about these images being CG movies. SONY just doesn't play that way.
/sarcasm
Anything Coming from you Devise...is As Usual..Completly Biased ;)
I Have Watched the GamePlay Trailer....There is an LOD System that Makes the Graphics Look Much Better When on Foot than on the Dragon...on Foot it Looks Incredible,And i wont Judge Until i See the Latest Build.
Honestly..."UnBiased"...are you Serious...You Want Me to Give you a Link to How Disappointing the 360 Is...from an "Unbiased" source...Here you go.. ;)
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/748/748098p1.html
Its From IGN Xbox Editor Douglass C.Parry..
Enjoy
Good article, I have no problem with it. MS exclusives were thin in the 2006 holidays. I have no problem with exclusives being delayed, I have over 20 360 titles and 15 arcade titles to play, and next week I'll be getting a Wii. I would have a PS3 if it didn't suck.
Actually it's sony can't admit the truth. That's why I'm so skeptical of new games and what they can supposedly do. You all should be too!
Here's some advice,
Read sony game news from a reliable source and try to remember what is promised. Then see if you can catch it when the promises fall through. Can you do that? No? That's why you still have faith in the PS3 I guess...
So thats the reason for the horable frame rates. Everyone who has previewed this game has said its almost unplayable. Look good in stills, ill give it that. But im holding back judgement until i see some gameplay. The videos released looked horable, and shuttered like crazy.
They will be lucky if they can even keep a constant 30fps @ 720p let alone 60fps @ 1080p.
How does that article have anything to do with any of the posts here. And how does it counter any of devise points about lair. Did you even read your own link? Or did you just see a link being anti ms (Which it really isnt) and thought you had an argument.
Its called having your own view, being subjective, and not taking everything Sony has said as gospel. I have been following lair since it was announced, and anyone who says that those videos dont have frame rate issues, or low res textures is either blind, or not a decerning gamer. You can beleve what ever you want, and so can i. Everything is available to everyone on the net, so we can make up our own minds.
Just becasue someone has a different point of view, there a fanboy??? Grow up people, seriously. Im a gamer, and hence post on PSP,PS3,360,and PC blogs. Just becasue someone thinks different than you, its no need to get your panties all in a bunch.
Note the sarcasm tags next time you read it, hes basically saying it how it is. Sony lies about CGI, over hypes and under delivers. At least this has been there track record.
I still say this game looks as average as Eragon, but remember its looking like most PS3 buyers are film buffs who view the game side a bonus so you can see why some may feel this average looking game looks good.
