Lair has been seemingly forgotten by Sony since months now, so it's with pleasure that we finally get these 4 new screenshots. Knowing this is Factor 5 developing I'm totally convinced will look amazing, if even these shots don't really give any "wow awesome" feeling.

As far as these screenshots go- They are looking rather..."un-inspired" to say the least ;)
If the game does look as bad as this at TGS (almost 100% unlikely) I will like to say "This game went from a PS3 hero to a PS3 zero!" :p
Commented on 2006-09-09 16:45:24I've got great faith in the game, simply because Factor 5 knows how to make a damned good flight game, and one that mixes ground and flight combat should be nice. They experimented with this mix in Rogue Squadron 3 a bit, and I felt it was done well.
Commented on 2006-09-09 16:58:39The 2nd one looks better though but it seems that downscaling the pic is helping.
I hope they deliver in the end.

Commented on 2006-09-09 18:36:24 In reply to newbielivesThis is nothing compared to what the final (hell, even E3 06) version of Lair will look like.
These screens must have been from the first day of development lol
Notice the change of HUD btw...From that other in-game screenshot (that looks 1000 times better).
I don't know why these screens got leaked- It just confused everyone. Or maybe iot wasn't leaked but released on purpose so people will get shocked at TGS on how much the graphics improved.
Commented on 2006-09-09 20:22:13 In reply to antenaDo you seriously believe all the Sony BS?
Lair they showed at GDC was a tech demo, this is what the game will actually look like.

Commented on 2006-09-09 21:00:00edit: actually the first few screenshots I seen are easily doable, but the video they released a few weeks ago isnt possible.
Commented on 2006-09-09 21:01:53- this could be an old build, and the game isnt finished at all.
- it doesnt look as bad as everyone says, but i agree its not near the PRE-RENDERED movie, notice the PRE-RENDERED part.
so in short: just wait untill the game is finished before you state things that are not necissarely accurate.
and if your ps2 can do that, i want your ps2. cause mine certainly doesnt look like this. again, in short: false statement
Commented on 2006-09-09 21:19:55My statements comes from the FACT that these (leaked or not, i dunno!) screens are from an early build!
How do I know? It's not on the official site, different (less advanced HUD) and obviously the MUCH worse graphics.
I also read a preview (might have been on IGN so check..If not I'll try to get the link) that said it looked as good as that trailer (in the PS3 pre-order disc) and was almost CGI quality with literally hundreds of dragons flying around at a smooth frame-rate and clear textures.
Does anyone think what that preview said matches these N64 like graphics we are seeing here (lol, not literally of course)? Not to mention there are hardly more than 5 dragons on one screen.
Here is the impressive "secret hand-on preview": http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/2006/08/15/
But yeah obviously the best thing to do is to wait until TGS but I'll bet good amounts of money this is no where near the final build (hell it looks like the lighting and the textures hasnt even been put into these screens).
I am not being a fan-boy (check all my posts if you can be bothered, I am always honest about what I see..weather on PSINext or on Xboxyde) but I honestly feel I am stating the rather obvious.
Does Motorstorm look like shit compared to the E3 05 trailer? No (if anything it matches it) and there is a stronger developer team behind 'Lair' but again: TGS.
Commented on 2006-09-09 21:47:55 In reply to antenaas for this, quite obviously an early build, but its very poor, that fire effect virges on F.E.A.R poorness levels (which had the most awful fire effect), we'll have to wait to TGS to see if this is any better

Commented on 2006-09-09 22:55:42So tell me, how is it thta third pic does not look like all the other good pics? That is because it old, it was friom a magazine scan that they blew up.
Commented on 2006-09-09 23:29:44Do you play as the Dragon, or is that just your "vehicle"...?

Commented on 2006-09-10 00:06:49You play as the dragon and change the out-come of the ground battles Dynasty Warrior style.
The AI keeps fighting and you burn, crash who-ever you want on the ground while keeping aware of the enemy dragons on air.
lol guys, new sources claim that Sony is indeed putting old screens out on purpose so people get even a nicer "WOW THIS GAME HAS IMPROVED!" shock at TGS! :)
As many people said "New Sony PRs are odd!" lol!!
