Forums - Gaming Discussion - LAIR : Did Factor 5 mess up or did they cut their losses?

Biggerboat on 29 July 2007

The first 4 words of my post were "going by early reviews" so I at no point implied that every reviewer had panned the game but EGM is generally considered to be fair and balanced in it's reviews so don't think it's unfair to raise this issue. If the unlikey happens and the rest of the critical world like Lair then I'll post a retraction but until then I think it's ok to speculate given the facts we have, it is a VG forum afterall!

And EGM's reviews are'nt real enough? Please don't kid yourself.

It's obvious a talented devhouse like Factor 5 just lost faith in the project. Thus wanted it out of the way, so they could consentrate their resources on something more potentially surfire, like another Star Wars game, perhaps?

EA can afford to bet on the wrong horse, Factor 5 can't and thats just a fact of life.

It's a bit premature to call it a failure since well it's not out... and if it is a failure i'd bet it's not because Factor 5 lost faith so much as Factor 5 just remaking Rogue Squadren on dragons without giving it enough to set it apart. (Which may or may not be the case as I have not played it.) 

Making another Rogue Squadren game definitly wouldn't be the solution.

It's not exactly random, EGM scores are always posted monthly on NeoGAF. It's definite.

Again I extreemly doubt this game can get anything at 7, and the EGM magazine review might not even be real. Who in there idiotic minds will give mario strikers a 7.5 and lair getting a 5.5 is like saying the game is a waste of money, then why did sony waste so much money on making it?

 Just curious, why do you find it impossible to believe that Mario Strikers could score higher than Lair?

I would call it idiotic to say it's idiotic that one game could get a higher review then another without having played both games.  Since Lair hasn't been released yet and Strikers hasn't been released yet in the US I think you can guess what I think about the above comment.

MSC is for Wii. Lair is for PS3. Therefore, Lair is better than MSC.

Duh.

 i think he meant the mario strikers charged was rated to low as well, Desroko i think you should take your comment back

It got one 9 review and one 5/6 review. Good to see the wii/360 trolls have some new Fud to spread around.

Very easy to guess the reviews, those that hate the sixaxis will slam the game, those that like them will give the game good reviews.  1up has done nothing but slam sixaxis so iam not surprised egn gave the game a low review.
