Above is video of the recently discovered 'Hot Coffee' code for Factor 5's PlayStation 3 title, Lair. The code was revealed to MTV's Stephen Totilo, in a recent in interview with the game's director, Julian Eggebrecht. As shown, simply enter "686F7420636F66666565" in the game's cheat menu, and you'll be treated to the above video.
Exciting, right? Yeah, not so much. No point in actually entering the code now that you've seen the video here, right? Eggebrecht also discusses (and defends) the game's controls, a sore point in many of the game's reviews:
When asked by GameFile how often that yank-back-to-do-a-180 move works for him, Eggebrecht replied: "About eight out of 10, which is the same ratio that I get in 'Wii Sports' tennis when I try to do a backspin.
Controls that work all of the time are so last-gen. More from Eggebrecht on Lair and more over at MTV's GameFile.
Maybe we should send a link to old Jacky with the title, "Another Hot Coffee Incident!!" and see how he reacts. 50% chance of whomever sends the e-mail for defamation of character and 50% chance of him calling the game society's downward spiral while not even watching the video. Anyone want to take bets?
Although, I love the game's director defending wonky controls by comparing it to Wii Sports. Ummm, Wii Sports was a free pack-in with the Wii. Lair is a $60 game. It seems to me like they're dodging every spear being thrown at them by the gaming press, but in a very ineffective way. Bringing up Wii Sports just seems like a cop out ("See! Their controls suck too!")
Thankfully I own Super Rub A Dub and Enchanted Arms. I don't care for Enchanted Arms because I can't read the damn menu, but Super Rub A Dub...classic, well worth the $2.99.
I got bored with this game on teh third mission. Not even the fact I can play it from my PSP via remote play could really get me jazzed.
It's just.not.fun.
I heard the EGM podcast where the reviewer and the president sit down and try to talk it out, and it was just offensive how doublespeak-spin he was.
Dude, your lock on system sucks, you made a disorienting series of effects. It doesn't matter if I'm a hardcore player or not; slaughtering troops isn't hard nor is it fun.
It's like Dynasty Warriors, only you control a giant dragon. Now make it so I'm slaughtering stormtroopers and ramming into x-wings with a giant dragon, and I might just go for 8 out of 10 times...
Well, that was mildly amusing. Actually, it wasn’t...I want that minute of my life back. Perhaps Factor 5 should’ve taken the time they used to make this video and put it into making a slightly better game instead.
How humorous. The fanboys come out of the woodwork so quickly around here.
OMG, it's a small easter egg video! Somebody stop the press, that must have taken weeks to put in the game - no wonder why it lags!
Oh no, this is all Sony's fault! Somehow they developed the game first hand and put in this joke. LoL Way to go Sony for failing!
Oh those Developers. They made a shitty game and now they throw in this joke! How dare they have any sense of humor of the ability to have a giggle in the office now and again! What a shame! How Selfish!
I personally got a better laugh reading all the fanboy responses. They made an attempt, they failed, big deal.... Who really gives a damn? Does this matter so much that it has "Destroyed the PS3's remaining face on the gaming world".. No. *shrug* Maybe some of you have had too much coffee or sugar today.
In any case, i'll go back to playing Blue Dragon now.
I'd say 99% of the people bashing Lair have never played it, nor do they own a PS3. Then there is the other 1% who have played it and don't understand how motion controls work. The critics fit into this one percent. All the people claiming to have played it, haven't. That is all.

Wait, what are we talking about again?
SOMEONE CALL JACK THOMPSON!
I think there are much better reasons for Wal-Mart to pull Lair off the shelves...

First they spend $600 on a console, and now they don't even get any Dragon Buttsecks???
Sony has truly dropped the ball.

just because some guys at D'toid can't play a next generation videogame doesn't mean, that Lair is a bad game. At least 8.5/10.
Ha ha ha ha ... Loosers, can't play Lair!
lol.
That's the real news story here.
The fact he compared the title to Wii Sports is telling. To be honest I wasn't surprised Lair sucked. I played Rebel Strike. I knew what was coming.
Also schnodder learn to spell.
