I can't remember playing any Factor5 game, so I don't really care. But I gotta admit that yesterday I started to feel a little sorry for Julian Eggebrecht & his team (I was a reader of German "Video Games" magazine around 1990, when J E was one of the authors).
A lot of Lair reviewers actually lamented why the game isn't controlled by dual analog sticks - I guess they wouldn't give ANY motion controlled game a chance. Yes, I know, half of the reviews stated explicitly that they don't hate motion controls in general, but the other half... And the much ridiculed "reviewers guide" emerged as a very lovingly made manual. Badly timed, admittedly.
Whatever, I don't care for Lair or Star Wars, and he made a lot of arrogant PR statements beforehand, so maybe it's his own fault. And Lair's controls DO seem to be f***ked up. It's just that many Sony reviewers wouldn't accept any motion controlled PS3 game (let alone ANY Wii game, but that's a different story).
... sorry for the Offtopic blabber.
So, wasn't Factor5 supposed to be a "second party" Sony developer? Thought I read that somewhere.
Currently playing: NSMB (Wii)
