Lair patch with normal controls: CONFIRMED!

[DragonLord]

Lair patch with normal controls--CONFIRMED. No longer a "rumor."

Lair will definitely be on my list to try again--I HATED the motion controls it came with and quit playing on Chapter 3.  I'm pumped cuz the game looks beautiful, has an amazing soundtrack, and appears to have an epic story behind it.

For those of us who have spent some quality time with Factor 5's dragon flight simulator for thePlayStation, Lair, here's some very good news: the highly-rumored upcoming patch that would give players the option to choose analog controls is now confirmed, and has an ETA of this year's first quarter. Yes!

This news comes direct from this year's Games Developer Conference, where Factor 5 seems to have held a demo of the game with the patch installed. An attendee from IGN's own words can only describe our own elation:

I played it and Holy ****; Greg needs to give them a new score. It was kind of clear that Factor 5 put in the extra effort a little begrudgingly, but the results were amazing. This might push me over the edge into the “must buy PS3” territory.


Hopefully, they also fixed all the other issues plaguing the game. If they have, then Lair is going to be a very, very fine game indeed, one that deserves a re-playthrough. Updates as we get them!
