Julian Eggebrecht on Lair’s creatures, downloadable content, possible demo
As the game that holds the distinction of very possibly being the first PS3 title to show just what Sony’s next gen console can do, Lair certainly has a lot riding on its shoulders. Factor 5 co-founder and president Julian Eggebrecht seems to be taking it all in stride, though, revealing a few more details on the game in a recent PSU interview.
The creatures in Lair are pretty diverse. On the ground, there are ground army types, horses, and more advanced beasts like the Taurus and elephant-like warbeasts. The skies, meanwhile, are full of flying mantae filled with Hydrogen, different dragon races and types, and several types of spider-like flying insects. Perfect for laying waste to the game’s destructible environments.
On the online side of things, Eggebrecht revealed that some story strings that had to be cut from the game could resurface as downloadable content. “Those levels would fit right in and would make the game into a true director’s cut. In addition, we are talking about new armor types and other upgrades to help the player. Well, and then there is of course the issue of additional dragon types.”
Lair currently doesn’t have a multiplayer mode, but Eggebrecht revealed that they are “keeping it for potential sequels.” A demo also seems to be in the works. “I don’t know about the ‘when’ just yet, but I expect that we will do a demo.”
