Joystiq writes: "Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition -- known around these parts as Lost Planet: Colonies or Lost Planet 1.5 -- has finally been officially announced. The game is a repackaging of the full Lost Planet title, plus a bunch of additional multiplayer and single-player extras. The good news: It'll cost about $30. The bad news: Colonies Edition multiplayer will be incompatible with current Lost Planet games.
Scheduled for a May 27 release on 360 and PC, Colonies mainly adds new, creative multiplayer modes to the original game. Several are based on holding checkpoints and CTF variants. Our favorite, however, lets one gamer control an Akrid, with the others teaming up to try to take down the alien. Different creatures are available, and we recently saw a demo showing how a spindly, player-controlled giant can make quick kills with its swiping legs."
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.
I'll pass on this garbage. Capcom bring on SF4 & RE5.
Why did Capcom port a subpar version to the PS3 just a month ago when this was coming? What was the point?
Great news, LP was big a year ago in Xbox 360, i really enjoy it and now i will enjoy Colonies. Bad news for the people with the ctappy port.
I remember really liking the Xbox360 demo, but for some reason I never got around to buy the game.
I'm certainly going to buy this version.
And yeah, it sucks for the Ps3 brothers and sisters (the ones that like Lost Planet, anyway) that they won't get this version. Capcom definitely screwed up there, they should have waited a couple of months and released "Colonies" for both consoles.
Why do they announce a new better version 1 month after selling a regular version to ps3? They SHOULD RELEASE THIS ON PS3 TOO, I dont CARE, THEY SAID THEY WANTED Multiplatform games, Then give us Dead Rising, this one and more
