Rumor: Factor 5 was working on a sci-fi PS3 exclusive

..oh they are.

hence why this is on ps3 and not 360 ;)

Factor 5 lives, you'll see some of their works come E3, i bet.

What... does Metal Gear have to do with this at all...

I just.. don't get it... what....

Kojima planned Factor 5's demise all along, obviously, as part of his campaign to f' with our heads.

MAYBE THAT THUMBS UP IN THE CLOUDS WAS ROHN ALL ALONG

I thought so as well. I guess you have to actually play it to know that and it's far easier to just hate for the sake of hating. After all it was a Sony exclusive.

It was a lot better after they put the dual analog patch in that's for sure.

I enjoyed the game as well, with analog or without.

Completely agree that Lair was pretty good, and that the Sixaxis controls were great. I posted something about it a few days ago on another post. It's probably a good idea to use some of that here.

Lair was a great game that wasn't given enough credit. It is an excellent exclusive game that got blasted because it had a complex control system that required some learning as opposed to the single move motion games in Wii Sports at the time. Let's be honest: the controls respond very well. People just got pissed off that they actually had to take a few minutes to learn how to control the dragons instead of repeating the same moves over and over like in the Wii games of the time.

On second thought, Sony opponents have been negative about anything and everything that involves motion controls on any system not made by Nintendo.

Now that can be found for cheap everybody should try it. You won't be disappointed.

And for anyone else reading this that complains about not having enough exclusives on the PS3 we have had many great ones such as this one, Heavenly Sword, Valkyrie Chronicles, etc, that haven't sold well. If we don't support our exclusives, which are not crap but actually good games, of course we won't get more of them.

Sorry, guys. I'm a monogamous PlayStation owner who is genetically predisposed towards dragon-riding games (I enjoyed both Drakengard games, and Drakan II: The Ancient's Gates is a game I love so much that I've played it half a dozen times). And I thought Lair was terrible. I couldn't force my way through it, not just because of the Sixaxis controls. I returned it after about 7 chapters.

It's not all "haters" and "x-bots." If Lair had been a genuinely good game, it would have had a lot more success. It's not a conspiracy. It was just a very flawed game.

That being said, if I still had it around I'd probably take it for a spin with the analog patch. But it's gone, it's not worth any more money for me, and there are many better game to play.

i'm not claiming the game was a master piece but it's alot better than it it gets credit for. i couldn't stand playing kotor or psychonauts but i don't say they are terrible. and i'm not claiming conspiracy but you do notice things like 'the ps3 version isn't on par with the pc version' being the only thing pickled out in articles.

Yeah, I was going to say it looks sort of Retro Studios Metroid-esque.

I agree. I thought Lair was really good. I want Lair trophies in Home. :P

This game could have been really neat.

LOL@ Jebron LAMES!

Ha!

Take that!

I'm sure you lost sleep trying to think up something that clever

How about this?

Pretty soon, Lebron will have all the time in the world to think of a comeback.

...no? Anyone?

It was actually the name of my fantasy hoops squad.

Anyway ... I guess when a one man team goes up against an actual team this usually happens. To be honest I thought the game 4 buzzer beater was going in for a second. Of course it would have been a travesty because of that phantom foul against Pietrus with .5 seconds left in regulation.

They should officially change the name to the Cleveland Lebron's. The series isn't officially "over" but it would take a monumental meltdown and Cleveland actually playing as a team to come back and win this one.

So, would you say Orlando is for real now?

"LOL@ Jebron LAMES!" was the name of your fantasy squad!? That's hilarious!

Shame on you again.

Speaking of clever ... DUR

Where can I get this "legend of factor 5"?

Hours and hours of trolling the forums. Mostly the VGChartz forums, it's pieced together from rumor and a few obscure reports.

Mayhap i should compose the legend in its entirety some day.

Um... yes, Haze and Lair represent one end of the curve with regard to PS3 exclusives, but you are aware that there is another end, aren't you?

Third party games tank on the Wii. Any Wii game without the word "party" in the title is destined for failure.

See, I would say the same. Only replace KOTOR/Mass Effect with "JRPG."

Seriously, those get boring, long-winded, and bloated at their worst. More so then most games.

BUT, I will admit, when they are on, they are fucking on.

You are the first person I've heard of buying a game specifically because you heard it was "atrocious."

I feel like I should make you a medal or a plaque or something. Check your mail.

Proof!
