Lair - New screens; Pushed Back to October

Three new Lair screens were released at the Playstation event in Tokyo yesterday. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe also announced that Lair, which had an initial release date of September 26 of this year has been pushed back.

Read On.

Man how long does it take devs without boat loads of cash to make a decent PS3 game? 10 years? Killzone for example has a budget of over 20 million and it isn't even done yet. Gears of War only cost 10 million, I guess that is why third parties like the 360.

[gamehead]

Hahaha waitstation 3 havnt heard that before. As far as i am concerned Lair comes out on august 14th. If you are in the UK and you want it earlier you can always ship it in. I remember mass effect having a release date of like august or something like that guess what its now in november. games inevitably miss release dates. It happens all the time all this +ve sony news is really getting to you xbox fanboys

[Merovee]

.... but hey thanks for popping in to bring up unrelated stuff.

BTW the mock name is DelayStation, now go back to your bridge troll.

[ALI G]

MASS EFFECT been pushed back to november becuse 360 has already 2 exclusives coming in augest Blue Dragon + BIOSHOCK
...................
@3: I honestly hope and wish that you get warhawk and heavenly sword in time.

[InMyOpinion]

The best mock name is easily Displaystation.

[dantesparda]

You do understand that a "budget" of $20 million, means that they can spend up to $20 mil, not that it has already cost them $20 mil. Now they can go over the budget, but only if the budget financier is willing to give them more money, otherwise, its not happening

"but hey thanks for popping in to bring up unrelated stuff.

BTW the mock name is DelayStation, now go back to your bridge troll. "

Exactly! Amen to that brother, amen!,

[okcomputer]

Funny guy.. so how long did it take the 360 to get just ONE exclusive title that ranked above a 9 after the 360 launched in Nov. 05??

Oh thats right, the 360 didn't have a decent exclusive until A FULL FREAKING YEAR after launch when Gears came out in Nov. 06. By the time the ps3 reaches a year it'll have lair, warhawk, uncharted, folklore, ratchet, and unreal and haze on timed exclusive. Slow start, but not a bad first year at all, especially compared to 360's first year. Funny how waiting wasn't a big deal for the 360 but its all you talk about with the ps3.

[harpua]

how about "At Least It Turns On and Works-Station"

[fenderputty]

Quit actin' like we're the only ones with delayed games.

[Marceles]

hehe so clever in an unclever way...but glad I'm in NA. Sorry EU..i'll tell you how good it is when I'm done

[GoLeafsGo]

Lmao...nice.
You've been bubbled =)

[nice_cuppa]

waiting................

oh yeah this is fun !

[Azures]

im sure warhawk and heavenly sword will keep me occupied ;-)

[boi]

lol not surprised about this... mot game...well about 70% of games happens to do that...dont know the reason why lol but its all good aslong as you get the games

[jaaz]

At least now we know why Sony wasn't showing off or advertising Lair more during E3...

[LSDARBY]

Its still coming out August in the US i think, this delay is just for Europe. I'll just import it.

[lswanson1]

Live in your world, get delayed in ours! Holy h3ll man, does any game make a deadline anymore!

[Farfromreality413]

It's all about the anticipation...if you delay it, more will pay for it...

[Art of Motion]

Its bad for ps3 owners...

[Dr Pepper]

@ farfromreality413

Not necessarily. If you delay the game, especially into the fall season we have coming up, other games will arrive and people may have to choose between one or the other (this fall, people have many games to choose from).

[Farfromreality413]

Yeah, guess I never thought about it that way. Tis not the season to be waiting then.

Should have looked at my own wish list before making that comment.

[gamehead]

now that i think about it october makes sense. Lair is supposed to be the first ps3 game to fully utilize home so maybe they pushed it back for home. I have been looking forward to this game forever. drowning it in the onslaught of ps3 titles hitting this fall would be a mistake. Release it now after we just got finished with ninja gaiden

[Mr VideoGames]

FUC* SONY AND PS3

[360Sheep]

haha.. main wailing away with a sledgehammer only dented it. How many times did he hit that thing, geez, and what did it do, a hole in the top of it, I bet if you plugged it in it would still work. Did you see the 360 one xbot.. one hit, i mean one hit with the pick, and the damn thing disintegrated, what a piece of crap the 360 is, baaaaaa baaaaaa xbot, are you waiting for your 360 to come in from repairs?

[VaeVictus]

GTFO of Sony threads troll.

[gamehead]

hahaha they should do an article on how some fanboys on here have no lives. Why would you agree or disagree with this guy you can see he is living in his own world

[Staircase]

1. That isn't a new video, it is from launch day.

2. That isn't the same people.

3. That is from a well known site (smashmyps3.com) where they smashed all 3 consoles (smashmywii.com, smashmyxbox.com), not because they don't like them, but because they have fun with it.

Fail.

[Frulond]

that seems to be all he does all day long, maybe his 360 still in repair... who knows

[popup]

In his Bio, VideoGames4Life proudly states "My Entire Life has Evolved around the Video Game Industry ever since i was a Kid"

all 6 Years of it...

[harpua]

"that seems to be all he does all day long, maybe his 360 still in repair... who knows"

explains everything, he should get his refurbed 3FixMe in four to six weeks.

[Chava]

bloody hell vg4l, u seriously need 2 get a life. Hey, why not go on holiday, mayb 2 amsterdam 2 c ur sexbox being fixed

[techie]

Lair was delayed a week or two for US...From end of July to August. The same delay has now been announced for Europe...from the end of September, to October. Some people don't think here :)

[Anything but Cute]

...

[Rythrine]

Don't you just love it when people type before they think. Quite amusing.

[THE_JUDGE]

your right Deep. The game here is supposed to come out the day after my b-day, my girlfriends b-day actually. I really want this one and would be pissed to see it delayed again in the US.

[big_tim]

for keeping these comments grounded on reality. August it is for the US. I won't complain.

[XxZxX]

US date haven't change yet..hmmm

[Anything but Cute]

Make things clear, is this delay just for the UK? Because in the US, we were never getting Lair in September, we were getting it in August.

Still I feel bad for UK people, WTF are they gonna play till October? I hope they get Heavenly Sword and Warhawk in September or even sooner.

Edit* That's not a bad thing, you should be getting The Darkness pretty soon then. That's a good game to keep you busy till Heavenly Sword, also you might want to check out Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

[techie]

We don't have The Darkness over here either :)

[TriggerHappy]

you have the demo to keep you occupied :)

[techie]

aye downloading now :) Tis amusing watching from afar getting stressed, or "haters" getting overly excited...I think I won't comment next time, as it really is no use.

[nice_cuppa]

got overlord too.

[rowdy 1]

You're a dog pecker nat.

[Bordel_1900]

I'm really looking forward to LAIR.

It kinda sucks that it keeps getting delayed, but much rather it gets delayed so they can iron out eventual flaws and make it as good as possible before they release it.

It would really suck if they released a half-assed product.

[Rhezin]

lmao HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO HALO

[OC_MurphysLaw]

and this is not just a shot at Sony, but at all the game makers. Why when they do a release for a game do the typically delay the Europe release almost always? Is it region coding? I mean I would pretty much guess all the language issues in game would be done well before any ship date...

I just find it odd that europe always seems to be behind and/or first to slip.

[Azures]

In the word's of Mr. Miyamoto

"A delayed game is eventually good; a bad game is bad forever"

[computer]

I gotta admit, Sony needs to focus a little harder on getting things to Europe and the PAL regions a tiny bit faster..

[Wolfgang187]

an inferior game? C'mon now ppl, the game will be done when it's done.

[Apocalypse Shadow]

sony fans will pick it up anyway when it drops.sony is gunning for million sellers of ALL their ips.

good games take time.marketing needs to be ready.the good thing is that sony can release their EXCLUSIVE titles worldwide and not worry about localization.they cover most languages and don't have region lockouts.

one disc.one release wordwide will become the norm on ps3.

such a great system.the mag-lev bullet train is coming................whoooooo ooosh!

i'd get out of the way.

[LightofDarkness]

I somehow doubt this will sell a million in Europe, as GTAIV is released in the same month. I imagine the VAST majority of gamers will hold on to their valuable €70 or so for that one over some unproven new IP on a system that not many people own yet. This isn't a very bright move at all, this will only serve to force Lair into an uncomfortable sales starvation, which will be a pity if the game turns out to be great and fails to receive recognition due to being over-shadowed by GTAIV. No developer/publisher should be foolish enough to contend with this game.

[Loudninja]

And its only like 2 weeks, way to blow thign up as usual

[XxZxX]

Which one you want?
Rushed and Bugged Games or Delayed but Stable Game?
Rushed and Failing Hardware or Delayed but Stable Hardware?

[cr33ping_death]

is this delay only for europe, i asked the guy at eb games just yesterday and he said august 14th here in the u.s

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

I'm sorry your still waiting on games Sony fans. Really sorry.

Stop the hate.

[EDF 2017]

WIll suck!

[fenderputty]

but you can keep telling yourself that. Lame fanboy.

[xbotsRidiots]

i wonder if it will suck harder than your mom does.....hhhmmmmmm i would love to see a comparison video on that LOL..

[timmyp53]

. Lair will be good

[CrazzyMan]

i don`t know why do you people care so much..
i mean, i can understand that sometimes it is boring and you want some atention, but a joke for 100th time said, is not fun anymore..
Try better. ;)

p.s. anyone to help return my bubbles back? thnx. =)

EDIT:
well, yeah, i am fine with 4 too. =) But they just jumping sometimes from 4 to 3. =) So having between 4 and 5 would be more comfortable. ))
Thnx.=) Bubble for you. ;]

[Whoooop]

I dont care much about bubbles as long as I have at least 4, but if you want to return the favor, be my guess..

[Whoooop]

Hey can somebody explain to me why consoles and games on Europe get released always AFTER the US??

I live in Puerto Rico, but we are US territory, so we get everything almost the same as the US.. maybe some days after in a few cases.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I've got all 3 systems, so if I have to wait for great games on 1 system I'll just get some on the others in the mean time. All systems have great games coming, from all across the board. The ones that won't even give the other systems a try or buy for that matter... seem to be the ones that breed the most ignorance towards gaming. Luckily for me they aren't ruining it. Delay or not, Lair will be in my gaming collection!

[UJUSTLOSTONE]

I know this is the next generation and all
and people want next generation games to play,

But honestly, I don't mind waiting, I still have tons of Back
cataloged games from PS2 to play. AND I mean from the greatest hits stack. So its all good with me.

Not to mention having Ninja Gaiden Sigma, doesn't hurt, in the slightest.

Hopefully like the update to this thread says; it will still be on track for the States.

I can't wait

Game on Peeps

[Dr Pepper]

Delayed games is just something we have to get used to, as it is happening more and more across all systems. The developers are taking more time to improve their games quality and that isn't really something we should complain about, even though it can be frustrating.

[AllroundGamer]

WTF??? i wanted to buy it this august :(

Edit: yeah, but i'm from Europe!!! :D

[Whoooop]

The delay is only for Europe.

for now.

[Whoooop]

It sucks for you guys, but wasn't Lair suppose to release on september before the delay?

[Logan]

all I gotta say is oh welll... were still alive arent we?

[vickers500]

Original release date of september 23rd? I gotta call bs, the original release date was august 14th.

[QuackPot]

Remember to pre E3 leak from a Sony employee about KZ2 rocking and Lair looking good but the gameplay was so so.

Well the first point turned out true. What's the chances that the second point is true as well?

They really need to work out the gameplay....Make it like God of War 2...and add a few monstrous TRolls here and there.
