Quantcast



When the Dtoid crew last saw Lair at CES for the PlayStation 3, we were not very impressed. Sure, it looked OK, but trying to actually control the game proved to be the most disappointing thing this side of Sanjaya still being on American Idol.

But unlike Sanjaya, this baby is pretty to look at. Don't believe me? Well look at the screenshots, I mean come on. You can't manufacture solid gold like this, can you Bruce Dickinson?

This has jack to do with Lair [who cares about it anyway] but still.

I don't care how good it looks, if the gameplay ain't there I don't care.

what was wrong with the gameplay?
was the six-axis not responsive?
too sensitive?

that would suck, because this may be the best looking
game out there...

I think you mean "doesn't still suck" - "still doesn't suck" means it didn't suck before and you hope it continues to not suck.

Footage of dragons ramming into each other was laughable. I refuse to believe anyone would release a game with something that sucked so bad in it. I know... I'm naive.

Most (if not all?) of these screenshots were posted on Dtoid already, no?

The water looks pretty good, but otherwise that's a lot of brown and gray. Why do they have to make it look so dull, I want more than 2 or 3 colors in there. As for gameplay, it would probably be better if they just forget about the damn sixaxis and make it work with the good old left and right thumbsticks.

Looks good(graphics wise). I have no idea what the game is about because this is the first time i have heard of this game. As much as i am a Nintendo fanboy(yes i said it), i would like this game to have success because the PS3 is getting embarrassed by the wii and 360

ya wouldn't mind a new build or even demo on ps store. played a demo few months back, was soso.. framerate was better than before, graphics were better... the sixaxis flying wasn't as quick and responsive as warhawk but was getting there.... no doubt they can improve controls a bit and have a sick looking fun dragon game....

GAME IS LOOKING NICE THOUGH

and now making American Idol references, DToid has now hit the bottom of the barrel in terms of writing.

If PS3 can really do this in real time, then it's pretty much game over for 360.

This is my first time hearing about this game and after having read Rev. Anthony's article I was in a retro mood so part of me was expecting



Looks nice, though.

Man the game looks killer... I just hope the gameplay is enhanced, from looking @ it looks like all fun.

Anyone with personal experience?

Grey and Brown a mature and realistic colours. Expecting greenish, blueish silverish dragons is purely childish of us, since everyone knows grown ups only where dark brooding colours to show off their manliness.
