Bioshock Developer Defends Lair Control System >
2007/09/19 16:02:54: Posted by DM
Ken Levine, 2k Boston president and creator of Bioshock, has spoken out for Lair, a game that has suffered from very bad press on the PS3. Levine surmises that Factor 5 was given an ultimatum to include motion control in the game, without even an option to turn it off. The funny thing is, when you read our review of the game quite soon, you will see that the game does not deserve all the bad press it is getting. The controls are really not so bad, it is just that reviewers like us expected so much more...

Speaking about Lair and Factor 5 he said, "Let me speak in these guys' defense for a minute as a game developer. I'm sure somebody came to them at some point and said, 'We have this motion control controller, and we have to make a go of it. And we really think you should try to make your game exclusively on that.'

Lair is a TERRIBLE game for the Playstation 3 with VERY POOR quality, and it is NOT FUN!!!

Look at the Poor Review ratings that Lair has received from RELIABLE SOURCES:

Gamespot: 4.5 out of 10

IGN: 4.9 out of 10

PSM Magazine: 5 out of 10

EGM: 5.5 out of 10

*** NUFF SAID!!!



Lair really does SUCK!!!

And Sony knows that Lair is such a disappointing game that Next-Generation was making fun of Sony and Lair, because Sony "brainwashing marketing people," actually took the time to create a 21-Page Guide on "how to properly review the game."

ALL of the RELIABLE SOURCES that reviewed Lair took the time to read that guide, and ALL of those reliable sources rated Lair as one of the worst games released this generation.

NUFF SAID!!!

Thankfully, the poor sales of Lair show that people DID hear the dozens of reliable Editors who professionally rated Lair with such poor reviews.
Written by Itaintrite on 2007/09/19

Sure, editors know how everybody feels about every single game. The fact that a product is condemned by the critics doesn't always mean that it's a bad one. This is true for games, movies and everything else. In the end, it all comes down to opinions. While Krogran and many others think that Halo 3 is the second coming, I think it's nothing but a big pile of hyped you-know-what. But hey, what do I know? I'm not an editor.

@Itaintrite I share the same views you do, Halo 3 is just a f*king Hype machine just like Ninja Gaiden Sigma was for the PS3. There is a bunch of f*cking losers that think their thumbs really mean something in the globe we call a world. Krogan for example I bet He's not in even the top 1,000, But' I'll bet a whole bunch of money that'll he'll promote this game till it Launch and 3 month after it's launch and compare every future PS3 game to it not matter what it is. It could be f*cking Ping Pong 2 from Rockstar moving to the PS3 in Spring, he'll compare it to Halo 3. Care to bet? Anybody?

Krogan is right, Lair does suck!

But its not the worst game of this generation. Hour of Victory for the Xbox 360 is.

Hello Fellow Gamers. Well .. well...what we have hear people is a failure to communicate. Of course Lair isn't what Sony hyped it up to be. So deal with it. Did you ever notice that Sony tried to HYPE up every exclusive title for their system? Every one of them flopped. Now It's M$ turn this year with HALO3. We know that game is OverHpyed like the 2nd coming (pun intended :). But no matter how you feel about it. HALO3 will break all kinds of sales records. We all know this as a fact ..so give it a rest.

i'd still like to play lair. if i did everything based on professional reviews i'd miss out on a lot of things. I'm a sucker for medieval fantasy type games.
Written by arthur56k on 2007/09/21

i get you poprocker, but what i say is that have an opinion, and credibility, you cannot say that reviews are cool today and tommorow they are not, there is a rumour on the net by ps3 fans that they think that MS is bribing poeple to get better scores, IMO they lack serious credibility
