Sony has updated the official japanese site of Rise from Lair with a whole bunch of new images. As always this is a particularly impressive title technically.
its funny how some people say that the multiplatform games dont take advantage of the ps3's cell processor and the exclusive games do but i dont find this game which is trying to take advantage of ps3's cell so great visually (not saying it is shit looking just not top notch).
dam i dont a feeling im gonna get flamed for this comment...dont kill me guys :(
I guess a lot of people just don't like the art style. Technically I think the game looks better than almost anything on 360, but it's just kinda "meh" in the art direction department. Couple of browns, couple of greys, some castles and dragons, we've seen it a million times before. The only saving grace now is the gameplay, which itself doesn't seem too spectacular either. Maybe if they get a demo up on PSN I can make a better judgement, though.
as always pictures just don't do the game justice - in movement it looks 1000x better and remember guys , you don't play pictures
*yawn* in my opinion the estimated 80/10/10 (360 fans / multiplatform / ps3 fans) margin of this site really shows in the comments for every of the more anticipated PS3 games
its interesting, i love the concept, but the close up textures like the wings and stuff seem... like ... well... rough plastic very hard and sharp not in a good way, plus the gameplay portion (THE PART WITH A HUD, health etc) doesnt look nearly good as i had hoped.
Synce got it before me. This is an extremely good looking game, best of 07 as I already said, but the art style is just average. That's why people keep saying it looks bad. But if you're able to separate the two then you would know how beautiful this game really is.
I hate to say it, but I did expect something along those scores all along the way... (look up my comments if you don't believe me ;)
A few people find this game attracting, but frankly... it is simply put just plain ugly. Some of the dragon designs are really good, but the whole color scheme and bland environments just blend really badly leaving a messy brown impression on the viewer. Top that with some poor contrast mangement and you are left with something that can be hard to even figure out what is... Atleast in screenshots. During gameplay it gets alittle better, but not much...
So, saying this is a good looking title is just plain wrong in my opinon.
Yup, another case of talking too much doing too little, the definition of hype. This is why you, as a consumer, have to be more critic when you see anything with the word Sony printed on it.
Proberbly so. As other's have said, I too was a little put off by somethings with this game. Sometimes I just got bored shitless watching a 10 min video, and it did look a little clumsy in places. Seems to be a nice representation of the PS3's visual power, but an average game in every other sense.
To me this game got a massive downgrade. Since then it has improved little by little, but still doesn't look all that great.
Some shots look great. Others look weak sauce. I don't think the impressiveness of the graphics is consistent. However it does look great as far as 1080p titles go.
I think it would have been much better at 720p.
Anyway it doesn't really matter, factor 5 made it and so that means chancer are it's going to get bad reviews from just about everyone.

It's not that the gae looks stunning or anything, because it does.
It's just that the genre isn't as popular as people find first person shooters or 3rd person action adventures. That's the only thing stopping me from getting this game.
i just never was into flying and shooting games or games with knights and dragons. If this was a 3rd person action adventure with some dragon flying elements sure..i would've been interested.
Still the knight design and flying aspect is the only thing turning me off from this game. otherwise it is a really beautiful game.
I make no assumptions on whether this is a good game or a bad game or whether those screenshots are representative of the graphical prowess of the game or the PS3.
But those shots, those ones right there, look nasty.
Either it really does looks like that or the PR department needs to be shot.
I dont think this is the type of game i wanna play on my ps3 why didnt they just make a halo type game thats the type of game i wanna play i love my ps3 so why wont they make games players want to play all the impressive graphics will be for nothing it looks to me like its gonna be so boring!

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

Non the less, WHEN I get a Ps3, LAIR will be in my collection for sure.
Commented on 2007-07-29 10:21:05crispin says the combat system is confusing, and the sixaxis controls don't always work the way they should. lock-on system is also jacked.
greg ford says the camera is frustrating in ground combat. the wide open levels hold a lot of potential but ultimately don't deliver
garnett says it's a "frustrating disappointment" with a few bright spots
