Videogamer: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Hands-on

Tom Orry of Videogamer writes: After what seems like a mammoth wait for PlayStation 3 gamers, Lost Planet will finally be released on Sony's console in February. The game enjoyed monumental success on the Xbox 360, so is Capcom putting together a port that Sony's platform deserves?

As in the Xbox 360 game boss battles crop up frequently and are real highlights of the game. The enemies in Lost Planet come in all shapes and sizes. Capcom has told Videogamer that work is still being carried out on the game, primarily with the visuals. While the build we played is far from ugly, it certainly lacks the polish of the Xbox 360 version. Hopefully Capcom's ongoing work on the frame rate and anti-aliasing will give the final game a smoother appearance so PlayStation 3 gamers can experience the same high quality visuals that wowed 360 owners early in 2007.

The PS3 game also requires a 15-minute install before you begin playing. While this didn't make for hugely improved load times over the Xbox 360 original, the PS3 game certainly has the edge in this area.

With a full compliment of online game modes, including all the content found in the Xbox 360 game as well as its downloadable expansions, Lost Planet for PlayStation 3 is shaping up like a title all action game fans should be interested in. Hopefully Capcom will have sorted out the numerous graphical issues in time for the game's late February release date.

Capcom better get in gear getting those visual up on par and better, this is 08, not early 07.

REPLOID245951d ago

Yeah, if the visuals are not polished I won't even bother. I don't want another crappy port.

Cyrus3655951d ago

crappy ports might be expected back when PS3 was new, but with DMC 4 for exmaple coming out, and looking as good. It's pretty much unacceptable for a game a year and half later.

Not another one of these “treatment” articles

darthv721951d ago

Remasters are still popular so... yeah.

I personally like when there are remastered compilations. More than just remaking one game but to take a couple (or more) in a series and remake them as one nice compilation. Viewtiful Joe comes to mind. to have a full remake of all the games on one disc would be sweet.

I know many want to see Powerstone come back (as do I) but i'd go even deeper into their vault and bring back darkstalkers, cyberbots or even project justice / rival schools combo.

FallenAngel19841951d ago

This isn’t a remaster it’s a remake

galmi1951d ago

well for me there's
dino crisis
clock tower
haunting ground
resident evil 3
the whole onimusha series (except 4)
chaos legion
crimson tears
ring of red

PapaBop1951d ago

Imagine Clock Tower done in a similar style to RE7 in first person with VR support.. that would be so so damn good.

SuperDuke12901951d ago

That would be superawesome

JonTheGod1951d ago

I loved Haunting Ground. Very underrated.

Adexus1951d ago

Onimusha instantly came to mind.

JonTheGod1951d ago

Already happening (although it's a remaster as opposed to a remake).

Adexus1951d ago

Yeeeah, I definitely wouldn't say that's nearly on the level the RE2 Remake is.

monkey6021951d ago (Edited 1951d ago )

This is a horrible list!
There are a load of titles far more deserving of a remaster than these picks. Seriously ! Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Dragons Dogma aren't even old games and have had recent sequels already!

Top of the list should be Dino Crisis,
I'll accept Resi 3 because I'm hoping that happens.
Clock tower and Haunting Ground are good choices too, It would be nice to be able to get them for a non extortionate rate.

Shadow of Rome was an amazing game and I'd love a remaster or new entry but I genuinely don't think they'd get away with it today unless it was massively toned down

Vetalka831951d ago

Resident Evil 3 yes,Dino Crisis games?Yes.Onimusha 2 hell yes.never got to play Powerstone properly so yeah i would love to see it remade,others on that list i just dont care about.
