Wow, even I didn't see this one coming! Due to an extra step in QA testing to enhance the community features in the game, the release of LAIR, originally set for August 14th, has changed to September 4, 2007. Natural challenges that arose while finalizing the offline game to include key online features - such as leaderboards and medal systems - have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date. We appreciate everyone's excitement and patience for the game and look forward to its release on September 4.

I can't believe this. Although, I do hope they add the option of using bouth analog and sixaxis since people have complained about the controls.

That also probably means that Heavenly Sword will get delayed now as well as I do not see Sony releasing Lair and Heavenly Sword both on Sept. 4th as is currently listed. Be ready for a Heavenly Sword delay now

This might be a good thing since the reviews are good so far (not counting EGM) to make the game even better.

I would not be suprised. Well, so much for ending the summer drought. At least September through the rest of this year we will have a horde of great games to look forward to for the PS3, but I was really looking forward to getting Lair in 2 weeks. It is just frustrating for those of us who have been greatly anticipating this game for well ovr a year now, and to finally get within 2 weeks of it's release, only to see it get pushed back yet again.:evil:

I hope you know I'm only posting that particular verse because of your awesome bob dylan sig... i'm really not dissin' you, i just know for me a delay in the availability date wouldn't affect my decision of whether to buy or not.

They're making minor changes or some extras for some online features, I hope Lair goes online that would be amazing.

Well, that does suck. They'll need to either push back HS or seed it up. I don't think they want two first party titles slugging it out for attention in September.

I don't mind lair being delayed as long as its for the right reason, this is the right reason. I know the Ps3 has a lack of games but i'm a patient person. and the Ps3 is harder to develop for so i can wait.

Guys remember lair review on egm how they said the flight paths and stuff were a little tricky? I think they are gonna try and make that better but nontheless the game is going to be delayed for good reasons, not like ubisoft porting games to the ps3 a year later only to play a rundown of the orignal game.

Dont expect the game to be better just because it is delayed 3 weeks. That is not much time to redo much so do not hold your breath for any significant changes, they will be only minor

Why! I want this game so bad, I'll probably end up buying GRAW 2 to tide myself over. They should just include a analog stick control option, just to shut people up, even though it'll ruin the experience a bit IMO.

Well, all for the better I guess. I bet they are adding analog control as an option since the SIXAXIS controls seem to be the main source of Lair's "problems".

Reminds me of my b-day, which was this past 22nd, so FW 1.90 was like a b-day present to me...but hearing this news makes me a little miffed. First, it was scheduled to release in July, and then August. And now September...crap. Oh well, it'll give me more time to finish Ninja Gaiden Sigma (I'm still on Chapter 11...). Maybe I'll finally pick up MotorStorm for the next month.

And Lair was one of the reasons I bought the PS3 in the first place(that, Heavenly Sword, and Final Fantasy XIII)...man.

It's cool, patience is a virtue it is said. And in terms of those saying only ps3 games get delayed would be surprised that it happens as often on the other two hardware. I'm all for more time to make the game even better than it is.

Also about Heavenly Sword, the release date isn't sept 4, since there hasn't been an official launch date ever giving by the developers. All they have said was sometime in sept so it could easily be in the end of the month. With this starting off the month this move is almost certain.

EDIT: I also think it is a smart move if they are adding analog controls since some just don't want to use the SIXAXIS. Would appeal to even more customers. Never understood why they didn't just include analog controls as a substitute from the beginning. To me it would be a given. oh well.

Marketingly it's stupid. They should've released it but keep code in so they can patch it. Now it'll come out with all the OTHER games people want so they'll have to decide. Not "suffice" and choose Lair to tie them over.

Didnt they say this game went gold like a couple of days ago? Couldnt they just release the game and fix the problem with a patch a few weeks later? This seriosly screwed up my plans for my video games purchase, it was supposed to be Lair, then either Heavenly Sword or Warhawk, then GTA4, then Assassins Creed and possibly Drake Fortune. I might have to pass on Lair unless it turns out to be really good.

Damnit!!! I'm not really pissed so much that it got pushed back, I'm used to news like that by now. What I'm pissed about now is that I have to choose which to play first, Lair or Heavenly Sword? Since they both come out pretty much the same day now I think. Hmmmm...Choices....Choices.
