Factor 5’s Lair: What Went Wrong

[Zondares]

Polygon has a fascinating postmortem up about Factor 5’s troubled PS3 exclusive, Lair (or Rise From Lair in Japan). I remember this one having so much promise, knowing how hard they pushed the Nintendo 64 and GameCube technically. Coming from the team responsible for Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader, it is hard to fathom how they could have bungled a flight combat game so horribly, but the whole project sounds like a disorganized mess on both Factor 5’s and Sony’s part. Sad Factor 5 practically ended with this one, and it all reminds me of Free Radical with Haze just completely missing the mark set by their previous titles.
