Technology Behind Lair Explained

The PLAYSTATION 3 has already been known to support amazing new technologies for next gen gaming and Factor 5 has gone into some depth into what they are being able to provide on the PS3 with their title, Lair.

With the Cell structure of the PS3 and the ability for the processor to run graphics as well as working along side the RSX graphics card, Lair will sport some incredible next gen gaming...

This news is beyond old, as are the technologies in lair.

he has no pic u do , he should hv looked first !

beans6818d ago

Im sure the game will be great but the visuals so far really don't impress me and the dragon to dragon bit just looks out of place and boring after awhile!

ASTAROTH6817d ago

LOL!! I WISH I HAD A VIDEO CAM...
when I visited my local gamestop today. Its the second time I see the same employee trying to persuade a consumer to buy a 360, even if the consumer told him that he wanted to wait for the PS3. LOL!! He said that the PS3 was crap and it would lose this time cause 360 was hot, had the best games, graphics, etc. He told the consumer that the PS3 was losing ALL his exclusives: OMG he mention MGS4 as coming to the 360. Then the consumer ask him the realease date on the 360...LOL!!. The employee told the consumer that he doesnt have this info on the computer, but assures and bet his work it would come to 360. LOL!!!. I could care less if it comes rigth now its only a rumor. I have a 360 and Im not into stealty games, even if I had the other 3 MGS games. I lose my interest. But its funny how the guy also mention games as Resistance and Motorstorm also coming to 360. LOL!!! This guy was a fanatic. If I were his boss I fired him, cause he IS damaging gamestop business with his fanatism. Anyway, he also said he feared the Wii would detrone the all mighty 360. LOL!! Personally I like to see fresh content on the 360, not PS3 ports. The same way for the PS3. So the only thing I said is: Of what are you afraid Microsoft that want everything on the 360?? In the position you are rigth now we dont need MGS4 on the 360. I dislike this kind of "NES" monopoly over its 3rd parties. Have fun gamers, and dont be fanatics.
"The optimist believes the PS3 its as good as promised, The pessimits fears it is". We gamers will have fun with them all HAHAHA!!!

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. 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 .

Game-ur1821d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2331821d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1821d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1821d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1821d ago

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.

HarryMasonHerpderp1821d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx1821d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.

How often do disappointing games get remakes

darthv722298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

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.

gangsta_red2298d ago

"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.

darthv722298d ago

^nothing disappointing about howard the duck. It is cheesy 80's goodness.

gangsta_red2298d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker2297d ago

@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.

DrumBeat2297d ago

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.

notachance2297d ago

yes, I was giving an example of disappointing games remade to be a great game

thorstein2297d ago

Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.

JonathanHarris2297d ago

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!

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo2298d ago

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.

Dreamcatcher452298d ago

Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.

hulk_bash19872298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

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.

notachance2298d ago

gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay

Prubar2297d ago

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.

rainslacker2297d ago

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.

JonathanHarris2297d ago

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!

TheEnigma3132298d ago

The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.

robtion2297d ago

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.

15 Worst PlayStation Exclusive Games of All Time

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.

Mr Pumblechook2585d ago

When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.

PygmelionHunter2585d ago

The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2585d ago

That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s

Dragonscale2585d ago

As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.

hulk_bash19872585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Haha you completely missed or are willfully ignorant of the intent of this article. It clearly says worst PS Exclusive Games of All Time.

NonShinyGoose2585d ago

RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.

Knushwood Butt2584d ago

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.

Darkwatchman2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

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.

SierraGuy2584d ago (Edited 2584d ago )

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.

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.

solideagle2585d ago

thank you for the list. I believe he should listed PSVR titles as VR....

yeahright22585d ago

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.

Gaming_1st2585d ago

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.

Dragonscale2585d ago

Don't need to. I avoid it like the plague regardless lol.

Hardiman2584d ago

When certain sites have articles on here I just look at the comments.

FinalFantasyFanatic2584d ago

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.

I feel Knack or Ridge Racer shouldn't be on there.

Maybe not knack but it's understandable, its not the best game tbh. Dunno bout ridge racer.

Ridge racer should never be on a worst list. FU gaming bolt crap.

Cant argue with Bravo Team, that game really did suck.

Have to say that is a pretty crappy list. I remember being so pissed with Twisted Metal 3 after TM2.
