PS.Blog: Lair Dev is Complete, Aug 14 Release Set plus new Image

Ryan Hamlyn, Associate Producer of SCEA posts on official Playstation blog:
Given all the content and interest here on Liar, I figured you guys would also be interested to hear that the North American version of Lair has completed its development and is now in manufacturing! That means that we are on track for our August 14 release date. It goes without saying that we're eager to get this out to those of you that have been waiting so patiently (or not!) for it to arrive. Considering the new PS3 price and now Lair, hopefully there's even more of a reason to scoop up a PS3 if you haven't already!

Darn you!! Don't you already have enought points down there :P

Seriously though, happy to see that they're ready to roll it out of the factory. Means they have time to get that demo out there. Can't wait for August!

[aiphanes]

I have been waiting since PS3 release day for this game!

[okcomputer]

lol @ this comment getting a disagree. All he said is that he was waiting since the ps3 launch to pick up lair. Whats is there to disagree with?

[Adamalicious]

Maybe they haven't been waiting since launch?

[TheExecutive]

thats great to hear... we should be seeing some quality reviews here soon. Personally, I cant wait for this game, I think it will be great.

[achira]

thats nice to hear, i will import it from the usa.

I thought this got pushed back to the holiday a couple of weeks ago? Or was that for other than North America? Interested to see if it lives up to the hype or fizzles like NG Sigma seem to.

Edit @Shiro.
It was just weird, after it was released no one was praising it or going around with the ZOMG!?! fanboy type hype. It sold well just got quiet after release. That's all I meant.

@blu
I know it's hard I almost broke my Xbox controller a million times playing that F'ing game! (See above for what I meant)

[Azures]

NG Sigma fizzled? Lol.

[blusoops]

NG Sigma is BAD A$$! I still haven't beat it cause it's so dam hard! How did it fizzle?

[razer]

fizzled in sales.. not even 1/2 million copies sold..

The game is bad-ass! I loved the original NG and this one is a nice step up from the original.. NG 2 should get a proper announcement at TGS.

[MACHone]

Fizzled? Fo'rizzle? It may not of sold a lot of copies, but I sure as heck picked it up on day one. In my book, selling even a SINGLE copy of a game that's pretty much the third iteration of a game that came out years ago is a success. But I digress.... In all seriousness, Lair looks amazing, and with an excellent review already from Play magazine, the skies look bright for PS3-owners. Bright, dragon-filled skies.

[Darkiewonder]

The game is done. Now get to work on the demo BEFORE the game is out. HURRY!

[hazeblaze]

August and September should look pretty good for Sony w/ Lair, HS, & Warhawk.

[DJ]

They seriously upped the polygonal/textural detail levels between alpha and final version.

[tehcellownu]

The game looks so clean and beautiful..I want a demo soon with ratchet and clank..I can't believe we are gettin the Heavenly Sword demo tomrrow!!!

[jay2]

Oh great, this just two days before my birthday, not that I was'nt going to buy this straight away but I can acually get it for free now :D!.

[sonarus]

I really really hope lair is great. I loved the trailer and the visuals are excellent. I am glad they focused on motion controls i think its about time devs started making gamers use them so at least we can get used to them. I know if i was given a choice i would turn it off and the motion sensing actually does make the gameplay a little bit more interesting. I hope the game is excellent but still can't help but ask for a demo

[DJ]

after they finish up localization. They wanted to put their full focus on finishing the title, so the creation of a public demo was put to the side.

[StateofMind]

It looks amazing graphically but the gameplay hasn't convinced me totally. Looking forward to a demo.

what do your critics have to compare you to?
Nothing
Nothing on this vast scale with the amazing visuals you offer.
