PSU Hints: Lair demo soon?

Psu.com reports:

"Yesterday Sony released the Hot Shots Golf 5 demo on the Japanese PlayStation Store.

In other news, we may be seeing a Lair demo, hinted at by the image that popped up yesterday. Well take it as you will, we'll be sure to let you know when the developers confirm or deny the demo.

(note) Then again guys this is PSU.COM (Killzone 2 next month anyone)?
So I wouldn't get my hopes up yet.

techie6675d ago

Oh dear me...although i believe a lair demo will be coming soon, their proof is quite poor - just that screenshot with "demo" on it. Do they not know that was from GDC and on that screen says the title of the lecture given by Factor 5 "More than just a pretty map"...need more hard evidence than that.

BrotherSic6675d ago

totally agree, PSU has made too many mistakes recently. Why stoke rumours on no basis?

glad you added the 'note' so users that might have missed the other reports dont get too excited.

techie6675d ago (Edited 6675d ago )

I remember when a journalist from psu.com joined just to say "we make mistakes" that was amusing.

Desperate for news? This demo has been out for ages since e3 last year, what makes this screen coming on the web from gdc any proof that a demo is coming soon to join hot shots golf? Nothing. Even if a demo does come out, the screen was still no proof of it at all.

Shadow6675d ago

I agree with everyone else on this one. A Lair demo is coming eventually, but I don't think this soon. If I had to stake a hunch on it, the 1.60 firmware update that's supposed to change the front-end of the PS store might be it, but I'm not holding my breath.

PS360PCROCKS6675d ago

Will never believe this mag anymore, what's next the sky is falling?

Bathyj6675d ago

HOT SHOTS GOLF DEMO. WOOHOO!

Na seriously, it looks good. I cant wait to see those trees moving. I know that sounds silly.

R34GTR6675d ago (Edited 6675d ago )

"Whipers" Shhhh dont let the xbox fanboys here this... they might take away my bubbles. But I cant wait for this game. It looks soo good.

I sure hope no xbox fanboys read this or my treo of bubbles will be down to two.

FIGHT CENSORSHIP.... FIGHT CENSORSHIP... (Two bubbles here I come. thanks fanboys)

gta_cb6675d ago

umm... i dont think anyone would take away your bubbles becuase of you saying "i cant wait to see this game" .... would they?... *confused face*

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-ur1817d 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 .

BeRich2331817d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1817d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1817d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1817d 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.

HarryMasonHerpderp1817d ago

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

jaymacx1817d 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

darthv722294d ago (Edited 2294d 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_red2294d 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.

darthv722294d ago

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

gangsta_red2294d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker2294d 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.

DrumBeat2293d 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.

pietro12122294d ago (Edited 2294d ago )

FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.

notachance2294d ago

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

thorstein2294d ago

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

JonathanHarris2294d 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!

NarutoFox2294d ago

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo2294d 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.

Dreamcatcher452294d ago

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

hulk_bash19872294d ago (Edited 2294d 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.

notachance2294d ago

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

Prubar2294d 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.

rainslacker2294d 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.

JonathanHarris2294d 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!

TheEnigma3132294d ago

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

robtion2294d 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.

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 Pumblechook2581d ago

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

PygmelionHunter2581d ago

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

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2581d ago

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

Dragonscale2581d ago

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

hulk_bash19872581d ago (Edited 2581d 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.

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

Knushwood Butt2581d 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.

Darkwatchman2581d ago (Edited 2581d 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.

SierraGuy2580d ago (Edited 2580d 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.

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

yeahright22581d 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_1st2581d ago

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.

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

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