Lair: Another PS3 letdown?

Dire · #1 08-02-2007, 05:32 PM

Looking like another big upcoming PS3 exclusive may be in trouble. Upcoming EGM reviews for Lair have been leaked: 5.5/10 from 3 reviewers.

The release date for Lair has now been pushed back 3 weeks, citing "an extra step in QA testing to enhance the community features in the game." This in spite of claims from Sony, just last week, that Lair development was complete and the game had gone gold.

That's 2 (see: Heavenly Sword) of the PS3's biggest 3 exclusives for this year, looking to flop. What will the future for Uncharted: Drake's Revenge hold?

To contribute to this Pro Xbox 360 propaganda: BioShock is getting 10s all around.

I loved the PS2 and was looking forward to the PS3 for a longggg time. However, Sony's hubris just ended up really hurting the PS3 - it could've been such an awesome system. That was really frustrating to me as a gamer. The fact they've sold almost 5 million units is frustrating to me as a consumer and as a capitalist. It shows there's really just alot of misinformation regarding this console. I'm pretty sure there's more than a couple of people who aren't just "fanboys" in that 5million. Researching what's going on with the PS3 is entertaining for me and sharing it is my way of helping any consumers make the most informed decision they can.

Well, the Wii, PS3, and X-360 all have pretty glaring problems imo, singling out the PS3 is a bit fruitless.

While Rogue Squadron looked great for its time, the gameplay was mediocre at best. The Lair scores do not surprise me in the least.

I disagree that Wii has any glaring problems. Wii has delivered exactly what it promised. Fun and innovative gameplay that we are just beginning to see in action.

Being paid to do viral marketing is a pretty good incentive...

Uggh. That sucks. This was one of the games I was really looking forward too.
