Lost Planet 2 Not Confirmed Exclusive

Capcom has refused to confirm that Lost Planet 2 will be an Xbox 360 exclusive.

Edge contacted Capcom to bring clarity to the situation, yet a representative for the publisher could not take the opportunity to brand the game as an exclusive. "All we can say at this time is that we've announced Lost Planet 2 for the 360," he responded. "That's all I can say."

In September last year Capcom stated that "...all major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multiplatform games."

[gamfreak]

It timed exclusive than....

[Lfmesquite]

is clouded with fanboys making their own news and assumptions.

I'm sorry, but Lost Planet 2 has not been confirmed to be exclusive in anyway shape or form.

The the only thing we know is that XBOX 360 is getting the game. That's all that was confirmed. It was not mentioned if XBOX 360 is the only console getting the game or not.

So, I don't know how some people can be saying that's confirmed exclusive.

[N4360G]

LOL Lost Planet 2 will be released for the PS3 around the same time the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2 is released.

[GWAVE]

CAPCOM declared long ago that they were going to be a "multiplatform company". So, it's not to hard to believe that LP2 will be multiplat.

[jammy_70]

why the hell there was post earlier saying it was exclusive....

waste of time

most probz be timed, or multi...

[ape007]

I want it to be xbox 360 exclusive

it's a bad thing to found all games on all platforms

I want each system to offer fresh air

kz2 on ps3

infamous on ps3

alan wake on 360

LP2 on 360

who agrees?

and besides,resi 5 and lost planet 1 looked better on 360 and both have huge mandatory installs on ps3 versions

capcoms's new engine has been built on a 360 (pc) pool

but in the end capcom will make multiplat,you can't overlook 21 million install base

[RussDeBuss]

...and 3rd party as multiplatform. It makes sense, with dev costs always increasing 3rd party devs should do multiplat and release at same time so they can try and sell as many copies as possible. The only time a timed or permanect exclusive makes sense is if it is paid for by one of the console makers.

this is where M$ start to look a bit weak now, they do not have as many 1st/2nd party exclusives as PS3, and 3rd party games a more likely to be multiplat as well, now that PS3 has 15 or 20+ million consoles out there, it's too big a market and too many potential sales to loose.

As long as the 3rd party games look the same on both consoles and are not crappy ports then its all good. There is no excuse any more for PS3 versions of 3rd party games to be bad versions.

COD 4/waw, burnout, bioshock(after 1st patch came out to cure texture glitch), fallout 3 etc. all show 3rd party games can be nearly the same, and i don't care about stupid comparison videos that show the tiniest little difference, if they look almost the same and play the same then fine.

[Tony P]

Seriously, I hate having these people with agendas writing their own version of the news so we get eight different conflicting reports. Even if it's spin, the FACTS should remain the same. We've known the game wasn't necessarily exclusive since it was announced as multiplatform from the get go. I don't see why it took another article to basically restate what Capcom clearly stated in the first place.

[JokesOnYou]

Whenever a dev can't confirm or deny whether a game is multi or not then its obvious they are still in on going negotiations with at least one party...otherwise why not announce it for both the 360 and ps3? Sure you could say its to build hype from speculation but Capcom has already said they are focused on multiplat development, so why not just announce it for both, they could build hype with promotions, trailers, screen shots and of course huge promises/claims while attracting both fanbases. Basicly Capcom is waiting for a check from micro...if micro pays it'll at the very least be a timed exclusive, if they pass it will be a same day multiplat release.

JOY

[gaffyh]

Ok usually when a company refuses to confirm exclusivity, it's cos it's not exclusive

[Blademask]

Let the 360 community have a multiplatorm exclusive, I doubt any PS3 owners were happy with the LP port, or the time we got it... Even when capcom announced it the world said "...". A year old port of a 60% average game,

THANKS CAPCOM.

But now its like LP2 is metal gear? Its a game for the 360, replace lost planet with any 360 title on n4g, and the stories would be just as on fire. in 2009 its funny knowing that the hottest gaming news on N4G for the 360 Lost Planet 2, oh my how times have changed. I'm sure most of you, especially the 8+million halo3 crowd was looking for LP2 especially after the phenomenal game that LP1 was. Man i gotta b uy me a 360, First Race Pro, then Halo Wars!! now this! AA all around baby!

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

@blademask:

The game received a 79% average on metacritic on the 360. It was the PS3 version that got 67%. Even the second release on the 360 got a higher score. Not that it matters, because to me it was at least a grade A title. I will be buying this game!

Publishers don't care for scores, they only care for sales and LP sold 2.2 million on the 360 alone. On par if not more than PS3's supposedly supreme titles such as Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet that had incredible hype around it. As of January 2009, LBP only sold 1.3 millions copies worldwide.

[Blademask]

I didn't realize Lost Planet was in such high demand. Perhaps I was wrong about everything, and this is truly going to be that next generation Megaton title that gamers worldwide have been waiting for since the first one.

Supposed Supremacy is something that isn't measureable. Doubt any financial reports quote fanboy hype for profit targets. LBP sold well, and R2 sold as well as L4D. I Know its second nature to compare anything to PS3 exclusives to get any sort of shallow victory, but why not compare Lost Planet to somethin like oh.. Gran Turismo or somethin? I think the demo sold more copies.. which means.. absolutely.. nothing. Because sales has nothing to do with quality.

I think the Johnaas brothers are at the top of the charts right now. Lost Planet was a beyond mediocre game, its like saying Army Of Two was amazing based on sales alone.

[techie]

And we knew this if we read the press release in the first place.

[Zeus Lee]

Eh,if you're not going to make it for the Ps3-then just say so.

Don't be scared of Sony fans snubbing your games,they're more mature than that.

[chrisnick]

no im not...u don't wanna give me a chance to play it because you didn't want to take the time to learn about my system...then why should i break my neck to help u sell your other games?....screw that.

[Lfmesquite]

Atleast someone has some sense. No, the game was not confirmed exclusive.

I'm sorry, it just wasn't.

It's amazing how crappy the game journalism gets sometimes.

[rawd]

yawnz

[Why dis]

Here we go every year when PS3's lineup is hyped then cut back PS3 fanboys hope and wish for 360 exclusives all year.

Is PS3 getting a crappy port in 2012? lol

The game is not being made for PS3 get over it losers.

Final Fantasy Versus is coming to 360 for sure based on you morons logic.

[callahan09]

Didn't like the first game. If they get rid of the stupid thermal gimmick that ammounts to nothing more than a time limit for each stage, maybe i'll give it a go.

[kewlkat007]

..

[Zeus Lee]

Please don't blame the Ps3 install base if your other games don't perform as well on the platform;if you don't make your presence well known on the Ps3 then poor sales are what you'll receive.

[odisho68]

if anything it will be a timed exclusive...which won't really mean anything since the first one was horrible

[Brodiesan]

Played the demo on the PS3 and really didn't like it despite the fact that I'm usually a big fan of the genre.

What's the final product like? Worth a punt?

[-EvoAnubis-]

No sh!t - that's because they ALREADY SAID IT WAS MULTIPLAT.

[MetalProxy]

cuz if it was exclusive they (jap dudes) would have said that it was and M$ would be running around screaming it from the top of the mountains. Man is it me or are the bots desperate for something to top Kz2?

[DaTruth19]

Lost planet 2 is a 360 exclusive, just like killzone 2 for the PS3 is.

Got a problem with it just buy both systems then you can enjoy great exclusives from both the PS3 and 360

EDIT: If you offended by this statement then congratz you are a fanboy.

[-EvoAnubis-]

You're new around here, so maybe you don't know this. The Gamer Zone is not for you. Take your comments that way ------------------->

And you're wrong; it's multiplat.

[Cajun Chicken]

1. Microsoft don't own Capcom, Capcom don't want to be owned and wouldn't mind more money.
2. SCE bought Guerilla Games as a first party developer and integrated with SCE in 2004, much like Naughty Dog once did; say, has anyone seen a ND game since 1995 developed on anything else but PS hardware?

More chance of Insomniac making games for 360.
I think LP2 is a timed exclusive and will look equally as impressive on the PS3, when the time is up.

[Brodiesan]

There is a vast difference in being offended by a comment and disagreeing with it. You didn't offend me for instance. I also don't agree with you.

You're not backing your statement up with any facts.
Here are some just to make it really clear.

Microsoft do not own Capcom.
LP2 is a Capcom game.
LP2 is confirmed for the 360.
LP2 is not confirmed for the PS3.
LP2 is not confirmed to be an exclusive.
LP1 came out on the PS3.
Capcom have previously announced that all big titles will be multi-plat.
LP2 is a big title and will have a movie tie-in written by David Hayter (and has an astronomical budget) therefore, of all the "BIG" Capcom titles at the moment, it makes sense that Lost Planet will feature at the top of this list.

There. No name-calling. No specious clandestine double-talk (apart from that last sentence). Just the facts.

It's therefore "acceptable" for gamers (note: not necessary PS3 fanboys) to conclude: Lost Planet 2 will come out on the PS3.

As someone has already stated: the most it will be is a timed exclusive.

Why ...? Well, technically the first one was considering it was out on the 360 first.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Guy, you're delusional. But that's okay; it doesn't matter. The game is multiplat. If I ever had any doubts on it, I'd just ask John Diamanon over at Capcom, and he'd tell me.

[-EvoAnubis-]

I think I've made my point.

[MrJack]

Unless MS ahve really delved deep into that bank account, I can't see a financial advantage from making it exclusive.

[Magic_The_Celt]

awwwwwwww where are all the xbots now? jason 360? foxgod?

come little retards

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Why do we really care?

It's Lost Planet. It's not Gears of War, Dead Rising, Crackdown, or Mass Effect.

Those are GOOD games. This is Lost Planet.

Do you see the difference?

[xaviertooth]

microsoft has only paid half so capcom is not confirming its time exclusiveness!

aaron greenpig must be on his way to capcom HQ to pay the balance.

[solidt12]

Agreed. With the install base of the PS3 ever growing there is no way CAPCOM can ignore the PS3.

[PirateThom]

What I put this down to is "BioShock 2 Syndrome".

It was revealed on the PS3 version of BioShock and no one assumed it was exclusive, even when the trailer wasn't added to marketplace until a few days later.

[Heliophage]

@13

I tried to agree with you but apparently I misclicked. Oh well.

I actually didn't realize that people assumed it was exclusive at all. It was confirmed for the 360, but I didn't know people thought that meant it as confirmed *only* for the 360.

[InfectedDK]

Ofcourse its comming for the PS3. Maybe just not at the same time.
The xbots aint got games this year and people know that and takes advantage og it. First they release the game only on Xbox360 so they can say "ahahah go home Killzone 2" "Lol".. And then later on it will release with more content on the PS3. Sorry but thats the situation the Xbox360 now is in.

[BLUR111]

Who knows, but it only sold like 400,000 copies on PS3 and was a very poor half ass port.

I think this will be a timed exclusive at the very least

Capcom knows which Console is best for their games ;)

It's funny it's only PS3 fanboys on here about this game then they say they do not want it go figure awwwww poor nerds...

[Brodiesan]

As I mentioned in the GameZone. I played the demo on the PS3 and didn't like it but was the final product (or the 360 version) actually any good?

[BLUR111]

for it's time it was a good game it wasn't great but the sequel will for sure blow it away.

was killzone 1 good?

[brycespitler]

devil may cry 4 says hi

you damn retard

[slimy the g8ter]

360 can keep this crap game

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

that pos game barely has a better score than the first killzone,and bots think any1 could be jelous of shiate planet lol

[Brodiesan]

So, 360 version gets 79% on MC.
And the PS3 version gets 67%.

Ouch ... I guess the answer I was looking for "It's not a great game on any platform"
:)

[BLUR111]

You must be jealous talking about it like you are

[HemDroid]

I Thought this game was one of the worst games i played on my old rotbox Hence i will not be gettin the sequal on my brand new PS3 Belive me this is one game that aint worth Bragging about But The Bots Will Bragg Because they aint got anything else

[solidt12]

Looks like Capcom is gonna keep it's word and stay Multi-Platform. They just threw 360 a bone first since they have more history making game on the 360.

[jay2]

It can't be an exclusive, Capcom said they'd gone M.P!

[RussDeBuss]

It makes no financial sense to make it 360 exclusive for a few reasons

1. too many ps3's out there now to ignore

2. this is a sequel, the engine is likely to be an evolution of the 1st one, and since it already exists for the PS3 some of the dev work is already done.

[Eiffel]

Talk about misleading Capcom. You could have avoided this by releasing the trailer on both XBL and PSN.

[PirateThom]

Then it would just be another game.

This way, they've had a ton of free publicity "oh, it's definitely exclusive" and "oh, it's definitely multiplatform".

Now, even if it does turn out to be exclusive, look how much free advertising they've got off a trailer that isn't even 5 minutes long.

[Godmars290]

And look how many PS3 owners will be pissed at being d*cked around.

Again.

[jlemdon]

is that PS3 fanboys are crying for a game they don't even care about. I guess this is to the 360 fanboys as MGS4 is to the PS3 fanboys.

[Mr PS3]

Maybe timed exclusive on the 360

[Godmars290]

"We're still bidding with MS to keep it off the PS3."

[jack_burt0n]

might actually be its biggest market not releasing it would be plain stupid.

[NMC2007]

Companies like to mislead because fanboys keep their names in their mouths for a very long ass time, it's smart, like this for example, if Cap came out on day 1 and said everything about LP2 would you be talking about it this much? No, No you wouldn't, it's a smart move because they know fanboys like to speculate and have territorial idiot fights about games they care nothing about.

Capcom = Smart
Fanboys = Sheep

[Ko_Uraki]

Multiplatform for sure, but timed exclusive or with exclusive DLC for the 360.

[Rhezin]

if you supposedly have a ps3 now, please get a new account I am tired of looking at your lame name to spite ps3 owners.

[HemDroid]

That i've moved to the Dark Side
And no i aint gonna make another account
So Kiss my Ass You Stupid Dumb BoT
Oh did i mention Your Inbred as well as a Sh!tKicker

[JOEdANGEL]

This exclusivity talk is nonsense. Lost Planet came to PS3 so why wouldn't the sequel as well. I don't know if they will release simultaneously, but I'm almost certain it will appear on PS3.

[Why dis]

Just like the way PS3 Center said Capcom was going to announce this for PS3 today lol.

This is not coming to PS3 lol.

Lost Planet colonies did not come to PS3.

I'm surprised anybody even payed any attention to this poor PS3 fanboy attempt to keep this rumor alive.

[Nelson M]

PoG has had a Sex Change

[Why dis]

Nasim you had a brain change?

[OmarJA]

Oh well, the 360 still has no exclusives this year.

[Why dis]

Looks like the PS3 2009 lineup is shrinking every day.

[Deadman64]

Why is it the sony fangirls are the only ones who b!tch about what games 360 has exclusively this year as well as b!tch about paying for xbox live?

[ElementX]

I'm probably in the minority, based on the responses to the other Lost Planet 2 articles, but I enjoyed the first one. Sure, it wasn't a day one purchase and I got it used, but it was entertaining and I look forward to LP2.

[The Official]

Please Fanboys its ok Lost planet is a good game. I mean what does it concern PS3 owners? Was'nt Lost Planet 1 trash?

[FFXI101]

The first one sucks, control was terrible. The only thing I liked it when I paly was the graphic.

[Bumpmapping]

Lost Planet 1 wasnt a bad game at all, it was missing depth in the story and gameplay.I hope they do something diffrent with the sequal.

[rhood022]

I posted this in another thread, but it should be repeated.

"Developers have a way of lying by omission. When talking about suspected exclusives, it's always better to focus on what they don't say.

But there is another way:

If it has an "Only on Xbox 360" or "Only on Playstation" logo on the box, then it's a 100% full exclusive.

If it doesn't then 99% of the time it's not a full exclusive. At the most it's a timed exclusive. Otherwise it's a multiplatform release."

And before someone brings up Bioshock or Eternal Sonata:

"I'm looking at both boxes right now and neither say "Only on Xbox 360".

The only thing I can think of is they re-did the boxes for later shipments and removed it. I did buy Bioshock about a month after its release..

As for Eternal Sonata, it shouldn't have had it on the box (assuming your copy has it). The day it was released on the 360 in NA, Namco Bandai announced a Spring 2008 release for the PS3.

Even before that, NB never (or shouldn't have) claimed the game was a 100% exclusive--they had filings for the game on the ESRB for both consoles. So IF it was on the box, that would have been a blatant case of false advertising."

http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

[PirateThom]

BioShock did have it, but only in Europe.

Eternal Sonata/Trusty Bell never had the logo, but Tales of Vesperia does.

Lost Planet had it, but came to PS3. Dead Rising had it, but came to Wii.

Star Ocean 4 doesn't have it, but Infinite Undiscovery does.

I find these logos to be useless, on any console, because a lot can happen. Resident Evil 4 had "Only for" GameCube before it was ported to PS2, as another example.

[jeseth]

The biggest Fanboy I've ever seen. No PS3 or Xbox Fanboy even comes close.

I kind of feel bad for him. It must be a pathetic existance to do nothing but make BS statements all the time. Do you ever make any statements that have any backbone or do you always talk out of your A$$. Seriously bro, give it a rest.

As for LP2. Based on how Capcom has been going lately I'd say it's definitely going multi. Hopefully they put more effort into the PS3 version on LP2 than they did on the original. Capcom is a company that owes Playstation and their supporters better multiplatform efforts. Playstation is responsible for much of Capcom's console success.

[StalkingSilence]

I wasn't a fan of the game at all. Tons of hype leading up to it, finally got a PS3 demo, really was let down. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

[gameman]

well you have two choices ether you shot yourself in the head or get over it

you xrod fanboys are always desperately wanting for anything that could be exclusive for your 360 so that you want to to fight back Sony's lineup sorry dear whether you like it or not you gonna have to buy a PS3

[The Official]

Why do ya'll keep searching around for clarity in a fuking exclusive whether its timed or not? Everytime a game comes out some fiending @ss Watchdog fanboy with a blog comes along and always try to dispell an announcement. Sad part is Half of you bum @ss Niggaz don't even buy the fuking Games cause if you did the PS3 would'nt be in a hole right now. Give it a rest if its a timed exclusive then relax and wait or cop a 360.Since Killzone 2 should be out go and enjoy that.Damn thisis what gaming has come to then i don't want any part of discussing gaming no more since everybody knows every fuking thing.Lost Planet was a game Made for the 360 to start out on because of it "head start" fanbase.It proves successful with over 2 milli sold So if lets say 2.2 milli did buy it, its because they had that demo up. Im quite sure you can bet it will reach the 4 millin mark with the amount of marketing it will recieve,4 player co-op,Better online and new gaming features.

What ya'll should worry about is why Capcom choose Microsoft and what does it mean?
