History VideoGame / Lair

* SpiritualSuccessor: Factor 5 show their ''VideoGame/RogueSquadron'' roots off quite a bit.

* TechDemoGame: Sony intended this game to be a showcase for both the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 3}}'s graphics and motion controls. YMMV on whether it succeeded at either.

''Lair'' is a fantasy flight sim released by Factor 5 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 in 2007.

* BadassBaritone: Koba-Kai has a powerful and deep voice, courtesy of Creator/CrispinFreeman.

* BigBad: The Diviner is the main antagonist of the series.

* RecycledInSpace: ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' with dragons.

The game relied on and originally required the motion control of the [=PS3=] Sixaxis controller for movement and many attacks, a fateful decision that led to critical panning based on control scheme alone. The alternative of a button-only control scheme was made available until a few weeks after launch, but far too late for the game and for Factor 5, which soon shut down. The game's orchestral score was by first time video game composer Music/JohnDebney.
