Honestly, I remember all the cows actually hyping this against the 360 lineup in 2008. Well once again PS3 has its epic flop for the calender year. What do you guys think of this? Looks like once again the hype machine made some look foolish.

Lair has sold 250 k lifetime

If Haze sells lower, then its a bigger flop

Assuming Haze also gets a 4.5...I'd say Lair was the bigger flop. Wasnt it hyped AAA?

Lair's hype was much more than AAA.

It was to be AAA and visually, the reason why the 360 could never be as powerful as the PS3.

Lair was the symbol of superiority. The logo on the hood of the car that was going to run over the 360.

That's why the Lair flop could only be equaled by say...a GT5 or MGS4 flop.

For me Killzone 2 is the next possbile flop, the game seems very boring and empty of any detail, they just focused too much on things they should not

I think this thread is a flop because nobody has hyped Haze for a long long time. I didn't see a single hype thread for Haze even yesterday.

Lair was another story, everyone thought with Factor5's track record, the awesome visuals (which are still awesome), the art direction, etc... Lair would be great. Unfortunately Factor5 got way too obsessed with the motion controls.

Lair hyped AAA 4.5

Haze hyped AA (a low AA at best) so Lair is the bigger flop. After the demo were knew it flop, just not as much as looks likely.

Lair is still the biggest flop gaming has seen, if we go by GS scores and predicted score.

Haze could only be a bigger flop than Lair if its developers start sending out "Reviewer Guides."

It wasn't raised as high as Lair though. It was an 'eh' game to play till Metal Gear Solid 4 came out, I'd rather it have been good myself but.. :(

Give it a rest dude, all you're posts are made out of hate towards killzone 2. Seriously, haze looked like a piece of **** since the beginning, while killzone 2 looks to be shaping up like a great game.

Yeah. Haze was hyped a little, but Lair's hype was massive.

Up until their release, I was looking forward to both...

No... KillZone (PS2) and Brute Force(XBox) are still the biggest flops of all time.

"any PS3 list made in 07" I think you said it yourself. Nobody has been hyping this game for a long time.

Nyet.

Killzone got a 6.5, while being hyped AAA. 2.5 point difference

Brute force earned a 7.6. Now, it could have been hyped AAAA, and the difference would have only been 2.4 points.

LAIR, however, was hyped AAA, and earned a 4.5. That's a whopping 4.5 point difference.

I'm guessing he gave the topic title a 10/10, as the rest of his post would suggest...

For some reason I don't think Haze scores are going to be like the IGN score. I could be wrong but I want to wait on this one before shouting "lolz mega flop"

"any PS3 list made in 07" I think you said it yourself. Nobody has been hyping this game for a long time.

maybe cows should stop hyping games from screenshots and Sosny promises then? IT was still being hyped in November as the hype thread shows ... not that long ago is it? Strange how when people use the just wait argument against cows they say "its not that long to wait" (when was the last good PS3 exclusive?) but when its 5 months ago its FOREVER.

Haze doesn't come close to Lair, despite both having four letters in the title. Lair was to be the 'crowned jewel' of the PS3, hell even I hyped it back then. It was the 'everything killer.'
