Brash taps Lair dev Factor 5 for yet another movie game
Brash has an unrelenting love for games based on movie IP, and as if patterning its business model after a remake of Freaks, the publisher has convinced yet another developer to become one of us. The latest studio to sign on the dotted line is Lair dev Factor 5, which according to Brash involves an unspecified title to be revealed "around the E3 Expo" in July.
The news follows the announcement yesterday of a deal between Brash and Folklore Dec Game Republic on another secretive movie-to-game deal. While it's true that film-games have earned their place as everyone's favorite whipping boy, Factor 5 co-founder and president Julian Eggebrecht seems pleased as punch about the whole affair, stating that "because the filmmaker is a game fan who is really excited about how we want to expand on the story of the film, we've been given a lot of latitude." Let's just hope this time they leave any motion-sensitive controls up to the professionals.

Hopefully someone other than Factor 5 does the PS3 motion controls. Ugh

It's a shame the controls for Lair suck so much, because it just LOOKS like a game I would like to play. You ride around on awesome looking dragons and own shit. Sounds like a recipe for delicious. Too bad, really.

I thought so too. I'm a sucker for dragon games. Just not THAT big a sucker.
There are many, many more problems with Lair than the motion controls. Even with the patch, I'm never touching that game again.

Please let it be Star Wars... Wait another Star Wars movie would be horrible in light of the prequels.
