Xplay praised Lair!!!

I just got back home, clicked on the T.V and saw Xplay reviewing Lair (not scoring, just reviewed)......

They basically said, "Lair is the first game to showcase the power of the PS3" and surpisingly they had nothing but good things to say about Lair....they showed lots of gameplay...it looked sweet, im definetly getting this game.

Also, a developer from factor 5 was there explaining the content and the objective to the game.....don't remember what he was saying since I was busy watching Lair...

I am sure it is a great game but they should have tried to make it multiplayer. It's only 10 - 12 hours long. Not worth the $60.00 imo

I don't see how these games got into this. Did someone say something to offend you? Oblivion is at least 100 hours and never played God of War nor am I interested in those kind of games.

10-12 hours is fine.

I'm sure it'll be a great game. 

Gow and GoW2 are less than 10 hours games and get high scores. Multiplayer is needed for weak games that have lame stories and that most of the times are less than 7 hour long in SP (not including in this analogy MMO and RPGs since those dont enter there)kenshinhimura16

Multiplayer is good for replay value. It's better to have a game that can e played for many years over one that will last 2 - 3 days. Everyone have different opinions regarding online. Some people like it and others don't. You are obviously not a fan.

If you think that short games cant have replayability you certainly havent touched a console ever.

Depends on the game. For shooters, yes. For a game like Lair, hard to say. Guess we'll have to play it first and see if its concept could be applied to a multiplayer format.

Multiplayer is good if it fits the game type. Just as God of War action adventure or NG. Sometimes single player works better. But for shooters like Gears, Resistence of even Warhawk, on-line is where it's at.

True. I think the best game with the most replay value in recent history has been Resident Evil 4. It's soooo story driven that it best as single player. But the story is what helps that games single player.

It seems like to some people in this thread any game made before 1999-2000 is not worth the money because it didn't have online play.

Electric playground was a different show than Xplay. Before xplay, iirc, adam sessler was on a show called "Gamespot TV" with some chick that had a mouth that was all crooked like drew barrymore. That was before it was G4 or TechTV I forgot the network's name back then. The good ole days of Screensavers being the primary show.

Xplay always praises a game when they preview it.

lmao. youre awesome, and so is that crystal ball.

why did this thread get sucky with people starting to argue :( (btw, a lot of games under 10 hours and no mp are memorable and are sooo good.) this thread is about the praise that lair gets. end of story.

I really like X Play. They don't appear to be baised or anything, they tell you what its right or wrong iwht the game.  I also like the fact they remained good even though Their original network, TechTV, fell of the face of the planet.  :PJumpingMirrior

no just the way they handle things take a look at when they reviewed Resistance they had great things to say thats all fine and dandy then after they were done with that they began to bash the PS3 again then Motorstorm came and they gave a fair review still saying nothing special about the PS3 personally i never rlly liked them at times they were okay but other times they were just plain garbage.

I have no real respect for their opinion. But, even they aren't blind to the true matter of things. If you want some graphical horsepower? Lair is where you're ass better go.

GoW games arent less than 10 hour long games, unless on easy mode of course

Lair is a 10-12 hour game. So what? I've seen plenty of amazing games that are around that length. Hell, I just played through God of War 2 today in 5 1/2 hours. (Speed runs FTW!) The first time I played through it it took me 12 hours.. and its an amazing game that I felt the need to go back and replay. Lair has a lot of replay value. They have a medal system, online leaderboards, and a good length single player campaign with a lot to do in the game I'm sure of it. That means you can go back and play through the game trying to unlock achievements (It has trophies for Home), earn higher ranked medals, and see if you can rank up to the best players in the world via online leader boards. What's wrong with that?E_x_i_l_e

With all the space that blu-ray has and LAIR is only 10-12 hours? PAAALEEEEASE......I WAS excited for this game but I may pass. Back in the day a game like that would be fine.......but Id prefer at least 20 hour at the least nw days:( Oh well, guess Ill have to buy something else.

Just curious but beides Kojima and MGS4.....When the the hell are other devs going to seriously take advantage of blu-ray? I mean all this talk of the Cell being awesome and blu-ray disc space and on and on.....Id like to see devs start putting games were there mouths are. If I want a 10 hour game for $60.00 that has hardly any single player to it...I will play my 360, as it only has a few great games that are over that mark.....but at least it has them.

Hopefully LAIR wil be good, I just want to see a game that really pushes the PS3 and blu-ray.....besides MGS4.
