They are correct- that's been known for ages.

Fucking hell, the supposed first golden age of the PS3 is degenerating into nothingness already. R&C+Unch better arrive on time and deliver or we're fucked.

Some reviewers gave Resistance a 7... some gave it a 9. It averaged in the 80's%. Ultimately, I liked it.

....I honestly thought Resistance in particular was gonna be around a 8 when I first started....by the time I finished it, it was a solid 9

I'm just pissed, first Lair disappoints, then it fails to even meet release and gets delayed months.

Whooa!, Anyway it hasn't been another delay, it is only for EU version which it is always last due lack blu-ray printer and multi-languages.
So you might got confused between with US and EU version.

i dont think the october date is anything new for EU, thats been known for quite some time

yes. us euro's are pretty much used to sexual abuse up the hole that in normal situations is one-way-traffic. On the bright side, we get to read the reviews in time so we can cancel our pre-orders.
yes I'm positive like that. I could be one of the blokes hanging on a cross in Life of Brian
 
after reading that kids enjoyment of the game on the PS forums, im slightly more hopeful towards LAIR. He may have been 13 or something, but it was some good honest truth by someone who just plays games. might have to buy this afterall...

So is Lair really coming out in 3 days?

As far as I'm aware, yes. My friend, and manager, at my local Gamestop has told me they will have it on store shelves this Friday. (I'm in Orlando, btw)

Damn. I'm so tempted to pick this up but I don't want to try it without a demo.
 
Ordered both LAIR and Folklore for under £15 on Amazon :)

Just flying a dragon around beautiful environments with that amazing soundtrack is worth £15 for me.

What?! Lair is to release in the PAL region in October - but it is releasing in the states in two weeks! We've known this FOREVER....no dates have changed again! Sheesh.:lol

Two weeks? Try four days! :lol
 
At that price, it's definite: LAIR get.

Yes, the extra month of waiting does suck. Sony dropped the ball on their "worldwide release" thing.
 
it's weird that it comes out friday... I don't understand really why, but I'm definitely picking it up that day, oh yah the link to the lair gameplay footage at GC is broken, anyone have a working one?

edit- nvm found it.
 
I guess we'll have to wait till Friday to see if that date is correct. I'm sure some places will have their copies and break the street date assuming there is one.
 
old?

"Joystiqq" hands on: http://www.joystiqq.com/2007/08/27/lgc07-lair-hands-on-impressions/

"As far as gameplay goes, we only had a chance to play a flying section, but it was very enjoyable. The SixAxis controls felt great -- which surprised us, since the controls had received the most negative press. Flying around as a dragon was incredibly satisfying as we could feel the weight of the creature when swooping down or pulling up further into the sky. It reminded us of the old DOS game Magic Carpet in how you had to compensate for momentum, lest you fly much further than intended."

uhh...why is that site blocked?

anyway, still very looking forward to playing this game!
 
amazon are such douches :lol but i preordered anyway for £14.99, mainly because it looks gorgeous and i want to see how the PS3 achievments work (isnt this the first game that will use Achievments?)

That is good news and im sure it looks awesome.

They mention occasional framerate drops, but the game is so wide open with tons going on it doesnt matter imo.

yeh, what a great thing. What do they do exactly? Because apart from now showing off that I took down a frigging helicopter, they don't do jack apparently...

Isn't that their purpose? to indicate that you did something? What more do you want? A "You are a WINRAR" screen after getting an accomplishment?

News Flash:

Our research has shown that avid "game players" have discovered a primal need for an indication on screen to let them know that they did something while playing a video game.

We've interviewed several "gamers" who've confessed that it not only makes them feel like they've "accomplished" something, but it convinces them that the hours upon hours of effort leading up to the brief flash on screen were, in fact, not wasted.

*OPINION ALERT* i think achievements are the absolute stupidest thing ever, i will think they are stupid when the ps3 has their own version, and/or the Wii too. I dont care which company uses them, or if they all use them, i think its stupid. Achievements adding replay value? Thats even worse, and for shame on reviewers for using that.

But apparently i am completely in the minority here.
