Lair Dev is Complete, Aug 14 Release Set!

Posted by Ryan Hamlyn // Associate Producer, SCEA

Given all the content and interest here on Lair, I figured you guys would also be interested to hear that the North American version of Lair has completed its development and is now in manufacturing! That means that we are on track for our August 14 release date. It goes without saying that we’re eager to get this out to those of you that have been waiting so patiently (or not!) for it to arrive. Considering the new PS3 price and now Lair, hopefully there’s even more of a reason to scoop up a PS3 if you haven’t already!

For us, there’s still a bit of work to do, as we have localization to finish up for Europe, Japan, Korea, and more, which will all hopefully follow very soon. Once those are out, our leaderboards will truly be global, and then we can see once and for all who the best Lair players are out there! The gauntlet has been thrown, and North American players are getting Lair first, so don’t give that advantage away…

We also have some great updates for the official Lair site that will be live soon, so keep an eye out for those …

thanks ennemee. I appreciate the support. Yeah I dont see this one being a huge seller. Mainly because people are more focused in on other titles coming out soon. Dont get me wrong though I want to give it a chance, Maybe a rental will do. Because It might be sort of like the Darkness. It was an awesome game, that is until you beat it 9 hours later. very little replay value. I feel like this Lair game will be much the same. Unless someone knows something I dont ;)

Oh well, its still gonna be worth it.
I look at it this way, the more it gets delayed, the better it’s going to be.
A demo would be appreciated, but I am still gonna buy it as soon as I can scrape the cash for it.
GO LAIR!!!!!!!!

good to know… thanks alot lair guys…

I hate how we have to wait for others languages for Europe especially in the UK. I’ll import this as will many Uk gamers so if you have lower sales in the UK it’s probably because we’ve bought it from the US. So glad the PS3 is multi regional for games.

Novaoblivion  |  July 25th, 2007 at 3:47 pm

A demo before it is released would be really nice :)

107

mattyInkWell  |  July 25th, 2007 at 3:49 pm

CrimsonCalibur  |  July 25th, 2007 at 3:53 pm

YES! This is excellent news! I cannot wait!

Am I missing some game?

Lucky232  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:09 pm

Hopefully a demo will be released. I know its tough on developers though.

However, new IPs like HS, Lair, and Uncharted really need this extra exposure. Just looking at HS, you can see that its pretty evident the kind of hype and interest demos of AAA calibur can generate.

I personally can not believe that some people are actually not going to pick this game up. Factor 5 has never made a game not worth buying. All of the Rouge Squadron games where excellent.

Have you guys and gals not downloaded the trailers off of the PSN? The grand scale of the environments look astounding, the game play is revolutionary, and the story line appears to be epic. I would hate for people/gamers to miss out on a wonderful gaming experience because there not into dragons.

I am not into dragons myself, yet have had this title paid in full for about nine months. Also if Sony puts there name on a title it will be good. They have never let me down in the last thirteen plus years the Playstation brand has been a large part of my gaming world.

Thank you, Factor 5 for this awesome game, Aug. 15th cant come soon enough.

115

blizzard182  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm

@thechosenfew88

LittleBigPlanet if I have the spare money. I do not have that much time to play online.

But yes, great game!

I forgot about those!

116

DeZimatoR  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

Great news!

Hope Lair sells alot, it really deserves to, fantastic looking game ;)

Hope you iron out the European version fast :D

@blizzard182 &thechosenfew88

You guys both forgot about KILLZONE.

120

Se-7-eN  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:22 pm

YES! Thank God! I was just telling myself yesterday not to get my hopes up because it will probably get pushed back again…. Thanks for this post!

121

soup or man  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:25 pm

Where’s the demo?

122

fiaz  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:26 pm

@blizzard182
Ratchet and clank
Uncharted drake’s fortune

im more lookin forward to these games but if lair demo hit ps store maybe i’ll get it too.

123

blizzard182  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

@fiaz and 40cal

Damn. I am gonna shot myself for forgetting Killzone.

Ratchet maybe after the Demo.
Uncharted…mmmm..don’t know.

I honestly did not like FPS in a console but after playing and finishing Resistance (I was in bed for two days so I ad nothing better to do xD) I must say I loooove them.

124

Loucifer  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:31 pm

HUH???? could this be???

Is hell freezing over because i didnt get the memo!!!…LOL

DONT STOP NOW SONY!!!!!!!!!!

:)

125

thechosenfew88  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:31 pm

@40cal

Wow! How could I have missed that bro. Thats crazy…lol. I feel bad now… :-(

By the way, have you played Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Rainbow Six:Vegas? If you have, which one would you recommend out of the two?

126

fiaz  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:33 pm

i really hope KILLZONE has double invert cause without it, it’s jus gonna be a pretty lookin game which i cant play.

127

Loucifer  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Sony you keep this up and i’ll have nothing else to complain about…LOL

well except for SOCOM Confrontation!!!…lets get it going…hehehe

I know im a pain in the ass :)

128

40cal  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:39 pm

@thechosenfew88

Get both. But if I had to choose I would say get Rainbow 6. The online multi is sweet. Ninja GS is much better looking and more challenging. Oh! Get both.

129

thechosenfew88  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:41 pm

@40cal

Alright. I’ll get em both this weekend. Can you use the headset on RB6:Vegas?

130

foolio_67  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:41 pm

I’m glad to see a game that doesn’t follow the normal everyday type of game (aka a FPS or RPG). You guys changed it up, and that’s great for every who plays video games!

131

EViD  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:42 pm

great, nice guys

and thanks for the heads-up

132

blizzard182  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:43 pm

@thechosenfew88

I would say Rainbow 6 too. NG is a bit monotonous TO ME. I had it on the “old” console and it is the same on both consoles.

I see RB6 as a more deep game and NG as a bit more fun if you don’t mind the hack and slash type game.

Buy Resistance. Hell of a game.

133

thechosenfew88  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:45 pm

@blizzard182

Thanks bro. I bought Resistance already. Heck of a game I would have to agree. I’m watching the RB6 video review on IGN, looks pretty nice, and the multiplayer sounds like alot of fun.

134

chase  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:52 pm

lets go sony
Where’s the demo?
8/14/07 every week after this day
a good game comes out

135

Lp47  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

@ both of you. I bought RB6 and it its a good game, but Resistanceis far far better. If i were you I would get LAIR before Vegas.

Anyways. Thank you SONY for all this great content. Heavenly sword demo, Update, etc.
I dont know why so many people dammand stuff, like in game XMB. They need to just wait for a little bit and stop breathing down your guys backs. I know you that Sony is and has been working hard to make better features, and games. Thank you.
Also LAIR will be sweet!

136

Lp47  |  July 25th, 2007 at 4:58 pm

breathing down your gus necks*** srry. LAIR will start off the huge fall lineup we got. Again thankyou for listening to our requests, and you guys are doing an awesome job with the PS3. Dont listen to some of those bonehead critics.

137

DocEvils  |  July 25th, 2007 at 5:00 pm

GAH! Why is Europe always last :(

138

40cal  |  July 25th, 2007 at 5:05 pm

@thechosenfew88

Yes you can use the headset.

Skater_Ricky  |  July 25th, 2007 at 5:07 pm

Can’t Wait… Keep it up… Sony ur Growing… Years to come is going to be so exciting… just dreaming about it gives me bumps :D

xplosneer  |  July 25th, 2007 at 5:13 pm

@NateTheGreat1
Some site did a review on the game and said the only downfall was the menu was a little confusing at first.
But the big point they made is that it had a TON of replay value, like online, unlockable wepons, armor, new dragons, etc. , AFTER the game was beaten the first time.
So I must disagree.
