Lost Planet 2 to feature Marcus and Dom from Gears of War

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.

[xabmol]

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]

[deadpoole]

I never thought I'd see their ugly faces again ... damn Im excited now ... Defi buy.

[baum]

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.

[Syriel]

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.

[solidt12]

I like Radec from Killzone 2. They should put him in the game. or a heavy

[MajestieBeast]

MARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moneybuyseverything]

No MONSTER HUNTERZZZZZ!!!!!!!

[krisq]

Por que!!!

[Lehman Brothers]

PS3 version will get Ratchet & clank

[Karooo]

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.

[Michael-Jackson]

360 has oN games :)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

PS3 version will be a flop like Heavy Rain and MAG

[FinalomegaS]

Have my Wesker code reserved.

Dom and Phoenix.. hmmm interesting.

[Bnet343]

Fenix*

[Bathyj]

Lets just hope they're non speaking parts.

[GUCommander]

I get enough of the these characters in Gears of War, I am not a fan of them, and they are going to take away from the quality of Lost Planet 2 imo.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Sweet!

[BX81]

That would be sweet!

[Double Toasted]

...very much so...

Edit: Why are people bringing up stuff about the PS3? If I want to hear news about whats happening with the PS3 I'll go to an article with PS3 in the title...not something pertaining to the 360...GTFO!

[Morbid Bulldozer]

You're new to N4G?

[bacon13]

@ above

LMFAO!

[peeps]

but saying 'i wonder if/what characters the ps3 version will get' is surely a valid comment... lol

[dirthurts]

Bubbles for bacon.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

As long as DOM doesn't talk

[KeenanTheSavage]

more like 10 sh!t-tons

[ApexHell]

this was the kick ass announcment :p

[Akagi]

I hope they make Marcus' face feminine, that'd be cool.

Just sayin'.

[Gago]

awesome

[Gen0ne]

I know which version I'm getting now. Unless the PS3 runs better or somehow bests this Dom and Marcus cameo appearance. Hmmm... now how do I finagle not ever having to be Dom online.

[JudoChinX]

I was really taken by surprise by this. I wonder if they'll wind up changing the way these characters play, or if they'll be all jump around-y like the rest of the Lost Planet characters?
