More details on Lost Planet 2 coming Wednesday

Capcom sent PS3Center an e-mail earlier saying that the official press release for the title will be due out Wednesday and a few more details may just slip out in it. PlayStation owners especially should keep an ear out - it's likely to be revealed whether or not the game will be coming to the PS3 then as well.

Who cares if it's on Ps3 or not?

I honestly just don't care what Capcom does with this series.

[pwnsause]

i dont care about this game either, but what I do care about is the engine that powers it. they have recently upgraded their Proprietary engine to 2.0. Im expecting alot of changes out of this engine. One such change is making PS3 development on that thing easier for the Capcom Devs. another change is making sure that the game is %100 equal on all 3 platforms.

I want to see games like the next DMC or the next Megaman to be powered by this engine.

[alster23]

well i guess its multiplat.

[sonarus]

It would be more surprising as an exclusive that as multiplat at this point

[7ero H3LL]

if it's multiplatform then why did the head of LP come to only XBL speaking of urgent news that lost planet 2 is coming?

what was the whole point of that?

[TOSgamer]

Maybe it was to advertise the game to people on xbox live? If it was an exclusive I highly doubt MS would pass up the chance to slap "Only on Xbox 360" at the end of the trailer. Plus if they didn't pony up the dough for Dead Rising (which I and most others think is a better franchise) I don't think they would spend the money on Lost Planet.

[sonarus]

If its exclusive why would they email PS3 center...whats up with that? RE5 got a lot of early love on 360. I remember the first reveal for that was with 360 as well

[SasanovaS777]

what developer would send an exclusive content to a platform it isnt coming out on? if they sent it to ps3center, then obviously its a multiplatform...the only reason they are advertising on 360 is because of same crap with RE5...i wouldnt be suprised if 360 got a lil bit of extra content

[Aclay]

Well, this is what I think. Why would Capcom port the first Lost Planet to the PS3 if they had no intention of bringing the second game to the PS3?. If Dead Rising is now multiplatform, I see absolutely no reason why Lost Planet 2 will be exclusive.

The Xbox 360 version may be getting Exclusive DLC, maybe the demo will be released first on XBL, or maybe it will be a timed exclusive, whatever the case may be, I'm pretty sure Lost Planet 2 will be multiplatform, and in addition to that, Sony and Capcom have a pretty good relationship.

But if for some reason Lost Planet 2 is exclusive, I sure wont be loosing any sleep over it.

[Danja]

it will be a timed exclusive at best...but even if Lost Planet was exclusive tot eh 360 , do ppl really care that much...

Lost Planet sucked IMO....online was sorta cool...but the game was mediocre at best..

but as was said by AclayPS3.....why would they port the original game tot he PS3 if they intended to keep it 360 exclusive,...??

besides...Dead Rising 2....is getting mt money...

[RememberThe357]

But if it's really a 360 exclusive then I'll just rent it for the 360. Isn't it great owning both?

[green]

I am quite sure it will be multiplat.

[xabamo]

The first one was a damn good game and it was underrated. I can't wait for the second one!!! Multi-platform or not, it looks amazing.

I thought for a second the initial scene was CGI, but to my suprise it wasnt!!!

Hoping this will come out in 2009! SF IV and Lost Planet 2 in one year? Gotta love Capcom.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Is this Microsofts' new ploy? We've gone past exclusive DLC, now we're onto exclusive multi platform game announcements!

[Why dis]

Sure it is where is the quote?

They're going through all the trouble for a 2 day exclusive showing on XBL lol.

Could this engine even be ran on PS3?
LP for ps3 was like 30% inferior and all other Capcom games are inferior on PS3. Love to see how the supposed PS3 version turns out with a new superior engine lol.

[TOSgamer]

Wanna put money where your mouth is?

[SasanovaS777]

wonna put a brain where ur head is?

[Obama]

haha I would love to see pog's face when this game is coming the ps3.

[Why dis]

Its going to be inferior on PS3. What a waste PS3 fanboys in the west hate the game.

Where is the quote is all I'm asking... Did PS3 center bug the sh*t out of capcom and when Capcom finally replied PS3 center twist their response?

Change you user screen fool.

[pwnsause]

PoG, stop hiding with that name, we know its you.

[Why dis]

You don't care about this game?

Lets see If I can find you in the other LP rooms, lets see if you made more than one comment in then.

EDIT: You're in every single one of them at least tree times lol.

What exactly are you people disagreeing with? I asked where is some more proof and stated capcom games are superior on the 360 plus LP2 will even be worse on PS3 than LP was on PS3, whats there to disagree with?

[pwnsause]

As I said before, I dont care about this game, I care about the engine. and of course to shut your trap about whether or not its exclusive to the 360. We are currently in a Recession. you see, in a recession, there is money thats being lost all over the place. so for the gaming industry to stay alive in a Recession, they have to bring a game to every single platform and profit from it. that's why capcom will never go exclusive this gen. The only thing that's exclusive these days is DLC, and that is something half the world doesn't care about.

There are more games that interest me more than LP when it comes to capcom games, like Dead Rising 2, the next DMC or the next Onimusha. If the Co-Op is good, then I dont mind picking it up.

Edit: People disagree with you, because you are an idiot fanboy. The only reason why LP2 will be superior on the 360 is because of DLC, That is all. The Technical aspects of the game will be %100 identical on both platforms. MT Framework has been updated, and because of that, there is more PS3 tools and support than ever on that engine, making it easier and simple for Capcom devs to push and optimize the PS3's Hardware even more now than ever before.

[gauntletpython]

On the one hand, it's odd that they announced it the way that they did if it's not at least a timed exclusive. Then again, MS loves to slap you in the face with that 'only on XBox' stuff, but there was none of that here. Plus, the other game was multiplatform too...

Guess we'll see Wednesday.

[RememberThe357]

Hopefully

[frayer]

Capcom seem to be having trouble getting their new engine to work on the 360 seeing as the producer said that the trailer wasn't "entirely in-game." Should be easy to get it working on the PS3...

[XDF]

say what now? "Should be easy to get it working on the PS3."

Have you read the review comparison for Lost Planet 1. PS3 is the one that is having trouble keeping up.

[outlawlife]

that doesn't mean any trouble was there, it only means that not all of the trailer was in game

probably 80% of the trailers that come out aren't all in game, its clear that portions of this are kinematics and CG so of course its not in game

you can tell what is clearly in game and it looks pretty good if you ask me

if they are having so much trouble getting it to work on 360 then they will have a heck of a time on ps3, a 360 is basically a pc with a universal set of requirements when it comes to developing

microsofts directX SDK is probably one of the easiest paths to game development there is

whereas sony and their multicored cell are much more difficult to develop for and requires a whole other level of technicality when it comes to programming

i'd really like to know where you come up with this stuff, really

[vmanj]

never played lost planet 1 but damn the trailer of lost planet 2 lookz amazing...awsome graphicz, gameplay and COOP baby!!!

though i wish itz a X360 exclusive (barely have any exclusivez dis year and we can give em lost planet....itz 90% multi platform tho)

[outlawlife]

there will be more exclusives on 360 announced at GDC and e3, the 360 has plenty coming

[mastiffchild]

Got to agree. While this has already been mentioned by people at Capcom as being a true multi plat~(PS360PC)and I don't see that changing, not after the first game AND now DR2 made the jump to PS3 I too believe that MS will have some announcements concerning exclusioves at E3. There'll also be the usual "surprise" or two(Kingdom Hearts going to 360 as either a multi or even exclusive could be the type of thing I mean like with FF13 last year but with Nomura still on FF13vs I canh't see that one going tbh)as it's MS policy to keep their powder dry much longer than Sony.
However, I doubt that Sony and Nintendo won't also have a couple of big announcements themselves at the bigger E3 this year. Sony have made no noises about things we all assume are coming from studios we KNOW are working on projects(like R&C at Insomniac and Warhawk2 at Incognito-there's a choice of a few tbh). Nintendo also have some stuff up their sleeves and I expect a big Zelda(by Xmas, imo) and F-Zero showing this year but there could, finally, be news of the likes of Kid Icarus and as Capcom have shown the Wii very scant love(don't even mention DR:CTYD sheesh!)since UC and RE4 I can also see something in the way of, perhaps , a Resi side story or something totally non canon from them.
360? Obviously we're looking for news on the elusive Huxley and AW projectsa too while there's all the talk pof the secret reveals Sony have made to gagged journalists so things should be exciting for you whatever you own or whatever you love at this years E3 and GDC. It's a good time to be a gamer-if the recession don't kill you first!

[silverchode]

if it comes to the ps3 im sure there is a high probability that it wont sell well, it be better for it to stay eclusive to the 360 since the lp port was not recived well by ps3 owners.

[Obama]

Imo the port wasn't received well based on 2 primary reasons: the game is average, and that it is not ported to the ps3 until much later.

If LP2 is released simultaneously on the 2 systems, I am sure the attachment ratio will be somewhat equal.

[thenickel]

I just hope that MS doesn't start announcing multiplatform games only this year. Sure the DLC stuff is cool and all, but if they can't announce some exclusive's soon then somebody needs to get fired. You can't start this gen off by delivering and then just say f@ck it after you pass 25 million consoles. I'm sure they have some surprises for 09, but loosing so many games and relying on DLC is ridiculous.

[Obama]

So far it looks pretty good, and I will be buying the superior version on the ps3 ;)

[II Necroplasm II]

Like the first superior lost planet on PS3?

[Bumpmapping]

sorry 360 cant compete with sonys killer line up, what are they gonna announce Perfect crap 2 at E3? sorry they have nothing interesting this year just like last year.

[outlawlife]

except for the fact that fable 2 and gears2 sold boatloads within a 2 month span

[DARK WITNESS]

ya, you lot said that last year....

i am not saying this year will be the same, but at the same time you guys should not be so quick to assume that its going to be different.

i own both systems, but to be fair you guys have been saying that from just about the time the ps3 launched.

the big difference this year is ya you got killzone 2 ( and it looks great by the way, can't wait to get it this friday ) but then last year you had Resistance 2...and that was meant to do this and do that.. well it didn't do jack.

so ya, enjoy what you got coming this year.. i personally would hold off all the smack talking till the end of the year when everything is out there to see.

[Antan]

Hopefully a PS3/PC version is also in the works. Like i said a few days ago alot of 3rd party publishers WILL release more multiplat titles. Given the current financial situation it makes zero sense making a 100% exclusive title. With their new and improved FW2.0 im fully expecting the 360/PS3 version to look very similar indeed.

[ceedubya9]

The in-game stuff looked fantastic and fun. Its like they are taking the best parts from the first game (giant bugs, mechs) and putting it all in a much tighter package. It also seems like there may be some 4 player co-op going on here. It had sort of a Gears of War style going on. And its nice to see that they are putting some variety in the environments.

Capcom is really stepping their game up this gen. They have to be the most on 3rd party publisher right now. Hey Capcom, while you're at it, how about you hook up with Disney again and put out an upgraded Ducktales on PSN/Live?

[Rhezin]

we ps3 onwers got lost planet with all the extras that you xbox owners had to pay for as DLC LOL because it couldn't fit on that little DVD9. Lost planet 2 will definately be superior on ps3, while half the game on 360 will be DLC (not free)

[SIX]

made my jaw drop. It's been a while since any game has done that. Taking on that giant Akrid co op style looks like a blast. Oh, I also think it will be multiplat.

[tudors]

we have always had plenty of games, in fact I would say we are spoilt, if you are a 1st timer Xbox-360 buyer you have all the launch games which are still great e.g. call of duty 2 and fight night round 4, plus we already have 2 iterations of gears, fable 2 (which is great BTW), the only people who compalin about the lack of games are those that have played them all, otherwise there are plenty.

If Xbox-360 was able to supply so many exellent titles so early on you have to be a complete fool to think they don't have secret projects.
