Lair updates finally flying in -- will it change people's minds?

what about on the eu store?

I guess it makes me feel a little better about buying the game, which I plan to do soon, now that it's cheap.

Being a Wii owner for the first 14 months of my console experience of this generation means I've owned 55 Wii games, most of which sucked and had terrible controls, leading me to sell all but 20 of them. It also makes me think that Lair's current control scheme won't bother me, but now that the patch is likely coming to North America too (can't see why it wouldn't..), I've got fewer fears than I did five minutes ago. I think I'll check eBay right now.

I will definitely play this game if it gets a US patch.

The control schemes should be free, anything else can be charged for

I loved lair and the six axis controls for it.
the people who complained sucked at the game.

look at the leaderboards and there are plenty of people who got Gold medals on every level.

analog controls will make it easier for the motion challenged people. :-)

anyone know if i log into my Japanese account with this game in my PS3 and download the patch will it still work once i log into my main US account?

There now, Factor 5, was that so hard?

Although this will help some people, I personally think there were issues with the game that went beyond the controls. Even if it had launched with traditional controls as an option, I don't think it would have fared much better. The motion controls just gave all the critics and gamers the same issue to harp on.

It wasn't the sixaxis part that sucked. It was the friggin targeting system. I am glad they fixed that. I'll give it another run through. Any chance you guys will re-review it with said changes?

I hope they fix this game... the concept is cool all they gotta do is deliver it right on the gameplay front and its a buy for me. Lets hope the update makes it a worthy purchase.

I have the game...
Haven't picked it up since I beat the first level last year because I'm hoping for the patch.

Hurry Sony! Hurry!

I own Lair. I picked it up after the reviews rained down upon it. I had a co-worker who disregards all reviews get it anyway, so I checked it out and found that the controls were actually responsive. With that said, Lair isn't a great game, but it isn't a bad game either. its good-okay-decent-smidgeon above average. I think motion control is a polarizing feature; some people are going to love it, and some are going to hate it. There doesn't seem to be real middle ground. Due to that fact, I think it was folly for Factor 5 to rely solely on that control scheme. I think they virtually polarized themselves out of sales, as reviews just happened to fall on the undesirable side.

Nothing can fix this game.

now maybe an engaging story patch, better graphics patch, a no longer a rouge squadren clone patch, and a 'make you care again' patch, and i may pick this up,.... used,...for $15.

oh yeah, it has remote play, $16 then.

I don't know any one who has Lair.
They might as well change it to Liar.

I bought this used a few days ago at my local Hollywood video store for $25. =/ I actually liked the game - reminded me of a WWI flight sim... go figure. =P

I am just hearing about this game. I've added it to my Gamefly.

ok this patch was useless, the 6-AXIS was innovative and had no problems it felt like controlling a dragon ( as realistic as we know). the few people in my town that have Lair( or a PS3 for that matter) find it awsome. the only explaination for a patch of this redundancy( the new dragons are cool though) is for "people who can't/ won't try to move with the new technology will enivitably reject it and thus the only option is to destroy it. setting us further back on the road advancement".
