When it was discovered that Capcom had trademarked the name "Lost Planet: Colonies," many thought it was an extension of the fledgling franchise, a diversion into new realms (a Lost Planet MMO?), or possibly a sequel to the original Xbox 360 hit (which was just released in expanded form on PlayStation 3).
While the reality is somewhat more subdued -- it's a greatest hits version of the original Xbox 360 game -- there's still plenty of reason to be excited about this budget-priced update. More than just an Xbox 360 port of the PC port of the PS3 port of the original Xbox 360 game, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition has more than enough built-in new content to warrant excitement, as well as a repurchase.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
This is absolutely amazing! To this day Lost Planet is still my all time favorite online game. Love the Lost planet franchise!
2 is the one with 4 player co-op right? That was amazing! Being able to fight giant monsters in co-op was so awesome. It was like Monster hunter with guns.
Gamervision: "With about a quarter of the United States population buried in snow, there is an inordinate number of gamers at home right now. In between shoveling sessions, these gamers just might be looking for the perfect game to play to get their minds off the bitter cold barrage of frozen hell that continues to close schools and offices across the northeast. Fortunately, we at Gamervision have assembled a list of the perfect games to keep you warm during this winter lockdown, and we are perfectly qualified to do so; we're all wearing hawaiian shirts."
8 - Dante's Inferno
Hell may not be the most inviting place. In fact, by design, it's kind of the least inviting. It is, however, quite warm, and Dante's Inferno promises 8-10 hours of Stygian action, complete with plenty of searing flames. Ahhh, searing flames. Besides, if some recent reviews are any indication, people might need an excuse to play this game, anyway, so this one's as good as any.
Looks like my one snowday just turned into two. Hmmm, Wave Race 64 IS on virtual console.....
Kotaku Japan (via Google Translate) is reporting that Marcus and Dom from Gears of War are appearing in the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2.
Well that's different.
What extra characters will the other versions feature, I wonder.
Some from KZ2 maybe? Resistance? Uncharted?!
I'd like some R&C chars personally. :D
But then again... Isn't there a deep customization feature for the chars in the game already? I'll probably go with my own creation rather than a pre-made skin. Unless I can play as the Lombax, of course! x]
I never thought I'd see their ugly faces again ... damn Im excited now ... Defi buy.
Yeah, those characters would surely help Lost Planet retain its futuristic atmosphere
/s
I believe Lost Planet 1 had Frank West (Dead Rising) and Megaman and playable characters. This could be the same thing, just with Gears dudes.
Not too odd. Remember the PS3 release of Lost Planet included Mega Man and Frank West among others.
Granted they were Capcom characters, but still, Marcus and Dom probably fit the style of the game a bit better.
For the PS3 version it'll likely be Sony owned characters. If Resistance or Killzone had better known characters I'd guess they would be likely. Kratos is always possible, but he doesn't seem like he'd fit the universe.
Resistance & Killzone is FPS, remember Lost Planet 2 is TPS.
Anyways regarding Marcus & Dom...IM SOLD!! Bring it on, i hope i can still chainsaw stuff or whatever in half. Khehehe
I remember reading about a Albert Wesker skin from RE5 as well. He comes complete with oversized magnum and patented leather gimp garb from the game.
are you insecure need to justify your 360 purchase? sorry to break it to you, but ps3 owns 360 like a 99$ b1tch in walmart which is what 360 is.
Hmmm, $30 is a very very good price for a "greatest hits version" of the game... but what really is new in the single player that they didn't want to have the system recognize your previous saves on the original LP? It's just a couple new modes, isn't it? In any case, I'm on the edge here.
I'm cool thanks. Why don't you stop screwing around with this Capcom and get to work on Dead Rising 2.
That is sooo freaking lame. Release a shoddy PS3 port that costs $40, more than this version of the game that looks to pack more features at a stable framerate! BS, Capcom, fvck you and your fvcking PS3 crap port. Just pisses me off. If Capcom was making these kinds of features in the first place, why didn't they add it to the PS3 version? Most content packed version my ass. Anyway, good version of the game to get if you are a Lost Planet fan.
the online multiplayer experience of
lost planet is really good.
the first one sucked
