Lair puts a lot of emphasis on its deep and twisted storyline, that unravels as you proceed, mission after mission, through 15 action-packed levels. Eggebrecht promises the game will deliver a 10-15 hour single-player campaign, with many more hours required to get all the gold medals (sounds like Rogue Leader, doesn't it?) used to unlock the extras that fill the Blu-Ray disc. There'll be concept galleries, a "Making of..." featurette, production galleries, trailers, a concert hall to listen to the game's themes and many more. With its over-the-top graphics and a solid story-driven campaign, Lair seems to be a good candidate to show off the PS3's (as well as the Sixaxis controller's) potential.

Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.
I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.
"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"
But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.
@Gangsta
Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.
Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.
The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.
Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.
FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.
Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.
It's really not super often, but it does happen!
Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).
It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.
Thanks for reading my article!

The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.
Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.
It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.
gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay
I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.
I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.
I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.
Thanks for reading my article!
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.
Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.
PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.
Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.
When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.
The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...
Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?
That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s
As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.
Haha you completely missed or are willfully ignorant of the intent of this article. It clearly says worst PS Exclusive Games of All Time.
RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.
They tried something new and it failed.
The initial price point was low but a large amount of content was locked behing DLC
These days you often pay full price up front and get the same concept.
Didn’t the list just have ridge racer on Vita? Because the Vita ridge racer was a dumpster fire at $40 with next to no cars or tracks. It was such an incomplete experience. As the article states, it felt more like a full priced demo than an actual game. Psp ridge racer had so much more to it.
All early ridge racers had next to no cars...game was great because of its graphics, controls, fun factor. Nothing could touch it on PS1.
When this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.

Socom 4, I guess you could say that was an AWFUL/TERRIBLE Socom game. BUT it was an okay game if it didn't have the word Socom in the title.
To save you from clicking those annoying slides:
HAZE (PS3)
LAIR (PS3)
KNACK (PS4)
RIDGE RACER (PS VITA)
TWISTED METAL III (PS1)
LAST REBELLION (PS3)

I love when people do this to sites that try to artificially up their clicks by forcing one click per entry. But I will say maybe let's leave off the first entry so they get the one click. Both so N4g gets whatever they're due for pushing traffic to their site and to send a message to the site that you only get one click.
Sites are lucky if I click once or twice, half a dozen or more clicks is more effort than I'm willing for a list that may or may not suck.
Maybe not knack but it's understandable, its not the best game tbh. Dunno bout ridge racer.
Have to say that is a pretty crappy list. I remember being so pissed with Twisted Metal 3 after TM2.
You're doing Gods work. Many blessings upon the house of Gardenia.
Such an epic and beautiful game running in 1080p at 30 frames per second is serious technical achievement. No matter what reviewers say, this game will rock.
all the 1st party games for the ps3 look much better than anything out there. so that's where the 600 bucks go ...
lolol .. and TheMART tells us he played all these games and they're not good ... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a.
i thought MART tells us PS3 has the best games ever ;-)
I've learnt not to listen to reviews anymore, no matter if it's a low or high score. If the game interests me, then im getting it and from day one this game interested me. I've played an early build of this game when it was at 30% and it really blew me away. Unlike other reviews, i loved the sixaxis controls. The complete freedon of flight, it feels so fresh and new to fly something just with hand movement. And the graphics were stunning.
Much like warhawk, reviewers can say what they want, but the gamers who've played the game seem to love it. I think at the end of the day reviewers speak for the hardcore audience. Most people don't care about lack of online or whatever. At the end of the day, if it's fun then its good in my books
Eggebrecht promises the game will deliver a 10-15 hour single-player campaign, with many more hours required to get all the gold medals (sounds like Rogue Leader, doesn't it?) used to unlock the extras that fill the Blu-Ray disc.

So more devs utilising the space on the disc but throwing in garbage no one needs, wow simply amazing.
And this game could EASILY be done on the Xbox 360 but even better and cheaper...
Its a good thing the DVD9 the 360 uses actually has developers use the space for GAME content rather than nonsense like ridiculous minor unlockables.
Only 10-15hrs long is also interesting...Wow all that 25gb of data and only 10-15hrs of gameplay? Sounds like Heavenly Sword is not alone in the department of shoddy development and useless use of space...*Rolls eyes* Who's next?
The PS3 has NO AAA titles this year but I have ordered Lair but will probably trade it in after about 30mins of play looks boring and very repetitive.
Now looking at Bioshock which clearly states ONLY on PC and Xbox 360 on the regular cover that game lasts around 20hrs has got around 9/10 and 10/10 reviews, looks stunning and the gameplay is fantastic I just completed it yesterday and wow fits on 1 DVD amazing.
I believe that Lair is a result not an example. It shows what can be done with the PS3 and hints at the future of both the Sixaxis and the system itself. I'm looking forward to flying my dragon very soon.
