Considering that I have already played games for the PS3 that look far better than LAIR I can say that the developer is full of crap.
Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, and even Resistance runs a hell of a lot better than LAIR and in more than a few places looks better. I'm not saying that LAIR is a bad game at all (in fact, I actually enjoyed playing it during its rental time) but it is by no means the scale in which all things PS3 must be weighed.
Hell, Heavenly Sword alone pretty much spanks the hell out of LAIR in terms of using graphical and engine power. The first and last level alone have more going on in them than LAIR did in some of it's more hectic levels (except for the Maelstrom which was probably the one level that Factor 5 actually didn't do a half-ass job on) and Heavenly Sword runs like a damn fine-oiled machine.
Besides, we've all seen videos of games that look far better and use far more hardware power than LAIR did. FFXIII, MGS4, Unreal Tournament III, Killzone 2, and plenty of others. Gran Turismo HD and Gran Turismo 5 both look amazing (way better than the dirt color fest of LAIR) and GT5 just looks insane at times.
I don't think we've seen the full potential of the PS3 just yet. Heck, Even Epic was amazed at what they could do with the PS3 in their development of UT3. They claimed in their newest video that they have even pushed the engine far batter than it was with Gears of War and that they're still not done tinkering with the hardware.
In five or so years if there still isn't anything to brag about, and im sure you'll be hard-pressed to find something not brag worthy about the PS3 by then, then i'll be sure to come back and edit this comment just for you naysayers.
Until then, at least let the damn black box get past a 1 year anniversary before you throw the darn thing under the bus. I know that there are plenty of people out there just WISHING that the PS3 would fail (despite your claims statistically its still a strong system and well capable of overtaking its competition) and they've been wishing it ever since their beloved Dreamcast failed and their Big ole Xbox (not 360) was pretty much abandoned but I just dont see it happened. Statistically, graphically, economically, and otherwise......the PS3 isnt anywhere near its full potential.
Ask me how to turn a Rottweiler in to a Dodongo and I'll tell you the story of a lifetime.
