At a recent event for Lair, in which the PlayStation 3's finer points were put on display for a group of select journalists, Gamasutra spoke one-on-one with Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht about the game and its future.
In particular, Eggebrecht highlighted design considerations for the Sixaxis, Factor 5's discoveries in terms of how to use the PS3's SPUs and RSX GPU, also hitting on the company's work on a new entry to the Turrican series.
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 .
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.
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
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.
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
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 this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.

They're constantly talking about how great the cell & rsx is graphically etc etc.....so lair better be the best looking game with best gameplay of any nextgen game to date when its released, otherwise factor 5 are going to look so stupid.
It's already been hailed as one of the best next-gen games. The scale is incredible.
ps.you need to get over the fact that devs are talking about how they use the cell. it's all very new to them and it's a revelation when they find something really cool to do with it, and everybody is interested in what it can do, including people who buy the damn thing. So maybe you should leave this honest and talented dev alone.
Seems to that this "Lair" guy is nice person. And they are going to create new Turrican!!! How will that look? Something like Gears maybe? I wouldnt be surprised if that happened.
factor 5 all the way, i love that there rolling with sony now, let the good times roll or fly. go lair
