Lair To Possibly Get New Control Scheme

Most people that have sat down to play Lair have come away either liking the game or just hating it with a passion. It was a game that was suppose to be a home run for Sony and a possible game of the year candidate by the fans. But one thing that everyone seemed to agree on was that the game had horrible motion controls. All hoped for a patch, but it was to never come as the game was forgotten by all within the next month.

Fast forward several months and now it seems that the developers have had a mea culpa of sorts, saying that it might be possible to make a patch to add a more traditional style of play for those that did not enjoy the motion sensing controls. While this is a nice gesture, am I the only one that feels that Factor 5 has missed the boat, and that most have forgotten, or have no plans to go back to this game. Maybe it will get a few to play it, but it probably is not worth putting the effort into making this patch.

    It may be nice for some of us PS3 late-comers who haven’t picked up the console yet, and by the time we do the game will be “bargain bin” material. With a fixed control scheme, it might make a nice side purchase to have genuine PS3 playable content w/ the console at purchase time.

    If they can patch the game to make it better, I say ROCK AND ROLL. Factor 5′s acceptance that control options are better for everyone involved can only be a good thing. Nobody would have minded janky motion controls if there were another option in there.

    I think Stephen has championed this before, but if every game had extensive control remapping it would be a better thing for everyone.
