Upcoming Lair patch to add analog controls

Drop that price while you're at it and I'll think about it.

Oh wow, just in time.....for what I don't know.

I will give it a try once the patch is out. I did preorder it when it first was coming out and cancelled my preorder for Warhawk after all the reviews.

So umm.. is this the patch that makes the game fun?

Actually, Im probably going to get it. I saw a buddy playing it and the game looks pretty badass. I just didnt want the motion controls. I will still wait for a re-review though. Just because they are adding analog controls, doesnt mean they cant screw that up too.

Depends on how much it fixes everything, and not just controls.

lair was a decent game, i rented it and the controls really were not bad at all I never had response issues except in one level, but i think it was just poor level design really. The game is pretty good, and I would actually consider buying it now possible >.> i dont know at least rent it and try it if you have not played it yet its really not that bad.

Once the patch is released and if people's reactions are positive, I might just get Lair. That's assuming the price drops.

Always been a little interested in this game but I hate Sixaxis tilt controls.

So what is the SIXAXIS good for now ?? Sony should give us DUALSHOCK 3s for free

Lair who?

I played the game with the patch back at GDC and the controls felt pretty good for the short time that I played it. I'll add the game to my gamefly account.

Saw a preview from 1up on Wipeout HD, and they were talking up the motion controls. They were even saying that it should be the only option to force people to use it.
Well we saw how that approach worked with Lair.

Not even worth a rental to me until this patch comes out.

That's great news! When I finally get around to buying a PS3 I'll totally consider Lair.

It sure seems like there's going to be a bit of a relaunch of PS3 next week.

New store.
New content.
GT5P release.
Possible Home release.
Game patches for this, and it looks like Burnout:Paradise.
Resistance 2 trailer.
Dual Shock 3 launch remember, all the ones out there are before the street data, although with Sony's blessing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a big marketing blitz, including Resistance, Ridge Racer and maybe Lair starting off a "Greatest Hits" $25 series of games.

All of this leading into the GTA IV release, which I'm sure Sony hopes to capitalize on.

I would totally pay $40 for the game... I'd like to give my money to the developers, but I'm guessing the price won't drop, so eBay it is.

$34 on gamefly, still seems like a bit much.

I found Lair to be an appalling train wreck of a game. I know there's a peculiar but vocal Lair Defense Force that likes to come out and say, "No no, once you get used to the controls, it's great!" I found this not to be the case at all. I played through all the tutorials and got through half the game before giving it up for a loss.

It was not just the motion controls, though Lord knows those were bad. Level design got to be atrocious, with an abundance of "guard your helpless sitting duck allies"-style missions (if you hate escort missions or protect your your ally missions, you should consider Lair to be radioactive). You have a ton of fellow dragon riders who do precisely nothing except bellow at you ever five seconds, bitching about what you're supposed to be doing. The game includes a number of rudely interruptive animation sequences that do nothing but throw you off your stride during a mission.

Yeah, analog would help. But not enough for me to take this ill-behaved dog for another walk. I'm done.

(And for the record, I should've been dead center in the target market. I completed 100% of both Drakengard games and have played through Drakaan several times. These are not great games, but my love for dragonriding is enough to make me forgive many flaws. Many... but not as many as Lair has.)

PATCH NOTES: You can play the game now.

I'm waiting for a game that releases without the ability to "turn left" and patches it later.
