Game Informer: "In the past few years, Capcom has really done a good job of expanding its games portfolio from mainly just Resident Evil and Mega Man rehashes to awesome games like Dead Rising, Okami and of course Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. The snowy adventures of Wayne and friends gave us a fresh idea for the shooter genre-Antarctica mixed with a Japanese monster movie. Now Capcom is giving the icy shooter $30 Platinum Hits status in the form of Lost Planet: Colonies Edition-but this is no simple repackaging. Players will not only be getting the entire game, but a host of new features and content for both single and multiplayer modes.
Enjoying solid reviews all around, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition originally was released on Xbox 360 then made its way to the PC and then finally got a version on PlayStation 3. Although PlayStation 3 won't be seeing this new release of the game, Xbox 360 and Windows PC owners will not only be getting all of the new content but the ability to finally go head to head in multiplayer cross-platform play. One warning to fans is that the new Colonies Edition is not backwards compatible with saves from previous Lost Planet games."
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.
Well heres one more game that the 360 has that the PS3 won't see this year at least. Im not of fan of Lost Planet Multi-player but I liked the single player.
i hated lost planet, it was a very average shooter
