Lost Planet 2, Lost Content on PS3.

Confirmation that the games are identical.

The major content for both versions will be identical and ensure an enjoyable experience for consumers of either platform.

MetalGearRising5188d ago

DLC it's there for a reason.

Yes like i said Blu-Ray is not required. DVD thumbs up all the way.

Optical_Matrix5188d ago

Blu-Ray is required you tool. If MS weren't so dumb, we wouldn't be getting charged for DLC left right and center because the lowest common denominators optical disc format can't hack the content. We're essentially paying £40 for incomplete games. Look what happened with RE5....DLC galore..so much so they had to make a reprint with all the stuff on it. 360's lack of mandatory HDD and last gen disc format is holding the industry back. This proves it

meatnormous5188d ago (Edited 5188d ago )

Weren't you banned, good job on posting spoilers on all those websites. You are some piece of work.

PS3and4_HAS_GAMES5188d ago

so you like paying for dlc when it could of been part of the game in the 1st place..you do know how stupid you sound right?? lmao well you are a bot

Kamikaze1355188d ago

I hope Microsoft sticks with DVD for next gen, too. I'd rather pay for DLC than have the content on the disc already. What an idiot, lol.

yewles15188d ago

Yes, because wasting extra money on what should have been there from the get-go is always cool... *facepalm*

KingKiff5188d ago

Or is just a looser like the 40 year old virgin

playstation1235188d ago

BLAH hahaha WOW your a big troll, DVD is going obsolete all my friend xbox 360 discs are scratch because of that obsolete console. I showed him the GoW3 demo his jaw drop on REALL HD graphics not sub. hes gonna buy a ps3 next week for GoW3 and KZ2.

Lionsguard5188d ago (Edited 5188d ago )

take it easy on him guys hes a bot, he enjoys throwing cash away on content thats supposed to be there in the first place. If Fable 3 released with 1 dvd and it was nothing but the menu on it and in order to play the game you had to download the DLC which is basically the whole game for 400,000 MS points he'd find a way to justify it while calling everyone a noob. Don't gimp us with your lowest common denominator-box.

meatnormous5188d ago

I do think he is banned for the spoilers earlier in the day. He hasn't posted a comment in 6 hours. I hope he is gone forever.

TengkuAmir105187d ago

You know why PS3 lost it's should-have-been-there content? Because these idiotic devs want it to be identical and he doesn't want some pissed of crapbox fanboys. They don't want the other consumers who don't own a PS3 to get pissed off. BTW, Shut Up BUNGIE.

geth1gh5188d ago

This is just stupid. Why would you punish both systems versions, when the flaw is only on one console.

the only reason i could see for this, is the fact that it will be a direct port and they are just to lazy to do anything extra to a specific version.

lord_of_balrogs5188d ago

I'd get it if you guys claimed that FF13 lost content because of the 360 and were choked about that. BUT Lost Planet 2 is first and foremost a game developed and made for the 360 and ported over to the PS3.

captain-obvious5188d ago

capcom is stupid
if they just put the lost content in the PS3 version
and claimed that its an exclusive continent of some kind

then they'll make sure to make more sales out of the PS3 version

but
what can i say

-Alpha5188d ago

Games sell more on the 360 and they decided to stick with the formula. This also allows them to excuse the extra content as DLC. It's win-win for Capcom, and PS3 gamers pretty much get held back by the 360.

BattleAxe5188d ago

This is terrible. Theres no way that you can tell me that the 360 isn't holding back multi-platform games on the PS3.

PlainOldGamer5188d ago

Sorry but that's just freaking bull crap. I don't see why they don't. They could fit it on a Blu-Ray. And you know what else? If they did put all the extra content on the PS3 version that would make a lot of fans happy CAPCOM. More fans that are happy will be more happy to buy your games.

ReservoirDog3165188d ago

Well, I wasn't planning on getting it anyways.

It does kinda suck though.

Bathyj5188d ago

ThanatosDMC5188d ago

Unlock Keys are coming for $5 a piece.

Dragun6195188d ago

Can't wait to rent Lost Data Too.

Honestly, MS sticking with DVD9 gave Capcom a reason to cut content out, then sell it as DLC. Would it have been different if Xbox 360 had a blu ray or HD Dvd drive, who knows but it would certainly be better than having Devs cutting content due to limited disc space.

@Thantos
Hopefully, they don't pull that stunt off again after the back lash they received for having Street Fighter 4 costumes and RE5 Versus mode already in the disc but required to buy an Unlock Key to play them.

baum5188d ago

"Games sell more on the 360 "

Bullsh1t. Devil May Cry 4, Street Fighter 4 and Resident Evil 5 sold better on PS3 than on 360. Lost Planet 1 sold more on 360 because it came out a year earlier and was marketed as an exclusive; it was also overhyped so the first 2 million sold like crazy but then reviews came in and mitigated part of the hype. So, in capcom's eyes, it's a myth that games sell less on PS3; they couldn't care less about how Activision does on 360 since they are not Activision (Duh).

OmegaSlayer5188d ago

Anyway, the first cut game has been Devil May Cry 4.
Search the news back then and read that Kobayashi said that the Capcom heads forced to cut contents during development (actually after the 360 announcement).
This is the reason why half of the game was made of backtracking.

Serious gamers, people who really LOVE games as a medium, should
stop to support Microsoft console.
It's not only Microsoft that his pulling back the industry, but even people who support them.
Stop the madness.

lil Titan5188d ago

I kinda knew they where going to do this but i was hoping i was WRONG DAM it's like big brother wanting to do his own thing but is crippled by what he can do because mom wants you to bring little brother along

AKNAA5188d ago (Edited 5188d ago )

But, It's not that bad guys!!! come on now! the reason we bought and paid more for a blu-ray player was to watch dvd's upscaled on HDTV's!
actually using & watching a blu-ray movie will just make dvd's look outdated and we can't have that now can we!?!? .....:(

ape0075188d ago (Edited 5188d ago )

the right thing to do is release the full game on ps3 and put day 1 free dlc on xbox live or make it 2 disks on xbox

but capcom is taking advantage of the situation(if true) as well as other companies, heck others are even have the space but they still release a priced dlc

like I said if you use your mind well, you'll know it's capcoms fault

Edit: look like these little fanboy don't wanna hear the truth

ok ok whatever, bash xbox all you want if it make you sleep well at night

pixelsword5188d ago

...but they didn't have to.

Gamers got shafted again.

They themselves said they were "crying" when they removed data from the game to make it fit, and had a chance to make right on it.

That makes it a very bitter pill to swallow when you're asking me for $60 knowing full well that the game will have DLC not even six months after it releases.

I think I have a subject for my next story.

Rainstorm815188d ago

I said it once ill ssay it again...

This is typical Capcom milking gamers at its finest.

mastiffchild5188d ago

Maybe raiinstorm, maybe. But why are MS giving them the excuse? If the decision to support n new storage media and have consoles without HDD promised to be able to play EVER 360 game hadn't been made Rage would be the same size as planned(PC,360 AND PS3 gamers lose out), GTA4 would be bigger and would have had a lot of the stuff everyone moaned about missing from SA in it and FF13 could be God knows what if they hadn't tried so hard to remain at three discs(odd that, isn't it? how games stick at the pre royalty hike number of discs?)-that decisdion has gimped games for all of us from 360 to the PC to the PS3 and it's stone cold, unalterable fact.

Now, I don't trust Capcom either but think about this-if MS hadn't effed up the games above(among others no doubt)they couldn't hide behind DVD9 to rip us off. Fact is the chance always remains they're telling the truth, too, as LP2 doesn't have the cache on 360 of being exclusive as the first once did, the PS3 version is blighted by the crappy first games PS3 version,. the genre has moved on etc, etc-just what sales CAN Capcom RELY on for the series second installment? They don't really know(unlike, say, ME2 which was ALWAYS selling a boatload as it's own genres market leader, an exclusive(on consoles)etc, etc)so taking the choice between cutting content and going to two discs on 360 might be taken on grounds of costs and the extra disc, and the real level of content all round(and for PC now-if it's going there)gets cut.

With parity seemingly the first word in the multi plat dev handbook this gen the lowest common denomenator governs the others at every turn. The weaker argument defeats the stronger every time and ALL gamers get shafted AND it gives devs the chance to be even shadier and use it as an excuse-to me it's MS biggest ever lump of cack they landed on gamers. Maybe if either console had a decent lead over the other(like last gen) we'd not get this crap but while a dev risks losing half it's market we constantly will I'm afraid.

FACTUAL evidence5187d ago

I wasn't going to get this game, nor liked it. I swear...360 is holding ps3 up. Right or right??

JackBNimble5187d ago

to believe that multiplat games don't cut game size all the time because of lack of space. No developer is going to give the 360 a chopped up game because of lack of space and then turn around and give the PS3 the full game in which it was intended. That would just be bad business between capcom and MS.

Capcom should have kept their mouths shut though , I mean did they really think this wouldn't cause a sh!t storm.

morganfell5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

And Bathyj, that has to be the most far out, funny, and weirdly true comparison I have seen in a month.

From a technical standpoint the 360 is actually responsible for an increase in game prices.

DevastationEve5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

MT Framework was Capcom's entry into multithreaded game engine development, seeing how PC architecture has gone multicore and how both PS3 and 360 have multicore processors as well.

Development on MT Framewok is done just like how Squeenix has done FF XIII: build the game initially on PC and then port it over to the consoles. Xbox 360 doesn't limit the PS3 in either case since the hardware they're coming from in the initial build is PC. To say that Xbox 360 is holding back PS3 is an incorrect and ill-formed statement. 99% of PCs today still ship with DVDRW drives...the majority of PC games are released on DVD, and that doesn't stop me from running Crysis at 1920x1080p with 16xAA.

Or from running Quake 3 back in 2000 at 1600x1200 on my GeForce 2 GTS.

Disc space is just space on a disc.

lelo2play5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

WTF... what's all the crying? You don't see PC gamers crying out because BOTH consoles are holding back their games.

So much whining...

I just wish that EA/Dice make Battlefield 3 exclusive to PC, and deliver a true Battlefield experience to PC gamers. Just see what's happening to Crysis 2. Probably games like Rage or Doom 4 from ID are going to be held back because of consoles.

JokesOnYou5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

Truth is most of the multiplat games dont even fill the 360 disc. If dev's needed so much space for all these multi-games you would think that they would have at least filled the 360 disc to the limit.

If it were true that these dev's wanted to do so much more then why didn't they just make a better version on the ps3, last gen they didn't hesistate to make the xbox version with better graphics. The answer is simple ps3 gets the same game because thats all the dev's intended to make in the first place.

It's funny that Capcom makes a statement about not enough space and right on cue in the same sentence talks about DLC, lol, but you notice they don't mention how this DLC will be "free" do they, lol why couldn't they make a ps3 version with extra content all on bluray and offer "free" dlc on 360? It's been done before, why not do that instead of "crying" about the content they HAD TO CUT. lmfao, gimme a break.

All this from the same dev who released a game that already had content on the disc but you had to pay extra for to "unlock" a vs mode that should have been included, also for its size easily fits on the disc.

Their excuse to charge us more then:

"Versus mode represents content that was created outside the scope of the original design of Resident Evil 5. This is an all new mode that required additional resources to create, not to mention the additional bandwidth costs."

-Yeah, whatever you say Capcom.

na2ru15187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

Syronicus5187d ago

It's a shame too. They used to be one of my all time favorite developers and then they started with this crap. After RE5, they just took a nose dive into la-la land.

HQLocated1115187d ago

I know which game I WONT be buying this year.

dabri55187d ago

Did capcom actually come out and say they cut the content due to disk limitations or did they say the content was cut in order to get the game out faster? *ie: content was considered done in time to ship final version to get printed? Capcom hasn't really been known for being generous when it comes to what they can make an extra penny off of. I could see them cutting stuff just so they could have DLC for the game sooner, despite what can or can't be fit to a disk.

sikbeta5187d ago

"The major content for both versions will be identical and ensure an enjoyable experience for consumers of either platform"

YEAH... And enjoyable Money From DLC goes to Capcom...

Unbelievable

IdleLeeSiuLung5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

I mean after all the company is able to create a AAA game, but can't figure out that they can release a second disc?

Let's face it, Lost Planet isn't exactly an open world game that requires a lot of data to be available at all times.

I guess it is nice to shift the blame, but did it stop Capcom from making games for the PS3 when blu-ray discs were significantly more expensive than DVD?

The only issue I see is, CAPCOM WANTING TO MAKE MORE MONEY! Which is by the way Capcom's right, just don't come out and say it then try and shift the blame.

MagicAccent5187d ago

Stupid DVD! If both consoles had blu-ray players, they could not get away with such lame excuses for future DLC.

N4BmpS5187d ago

Awwww that answered my question, that kinda sucks, oh well.

oohWii5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

First off, PS3 fans tend to only buy 1st party games for the most part. Companies releasing multiplat games know that their game won't sell as well on the PS3. Why spend the extra time and money building up the PS3 version when they aren't going to buy it.

PS3 Fanboys B!tch and whine about their version being gimped and when a company does take the time to add more content to the PS3 version you fools won't buy it. (Can you say Tales of "V")Hell, you barely buy 1st party games, so I don't blame capcom for doing what they did.

It's also funny how you idiots are always blaming MS for anything that happens in the gaming community, unless it's positive then you try and downplay it. You guys are just a bunch of pathetic crybabies that never seem to get tired of whining!

Microsoft Xbox 3605187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

PlainOldGamer5188d ago

Yeah exactly. Leave it up to CAPCOM to find any excuse to sell DLC day one. It's just ridiculous. And you know what would be stupid? If when the DLC came out and the download was just an activation that was already on the disk. It's Resident Evil 5 all over again :(

beardpapa5188d ago (Edited 5188d ago )

at the start of this gen, I recall Capcom was rebranded as Crapcom by the Jostiq & Gamersyde crowd. I'm not particularly sure if they've been redeemed back to Capcom.

Imagine that... if DVD wasn't used, we'd all probably be having bigger better games and none of this DLC (or the ones that's on the disc) to get the ultimate experience carp. None of this paying x amount of points for a digital file I can't use to boost the resale value of my games. That's money I can't get back from ebay, Amazon, Craig's List, or trade-in.

trancefreak5188d ago

Ya for sure they will be selling that dlc which is probably loaded already on that blu ray disc.

Its pretty sad when they say (the dev team ) that it almost brought tears to their eyes to make cuts to the 360 version. So they do both lol. WTH are they doing??

It seems that the lowest common dominator is giving the platforms with the more capiblities the shaft.

Heres how you handle this! Dont buy their products. You want a company and a big one too to take advantage of what you paid for for an enhanced gaming experience and they dont do it. Stick a big hell no to you capcom and let them figuire it out finacially.

My wallet wot suffer because the content that should be in the game on my console wont fit on the other console wich will come in a form of dlc and a price tag. No thanks. Next

teh cells lost brain5188d ago

have the superior version lol..the crap that ms does just makes me go wtf like they pay to hold games back sony pays their exclusive developers to make huge ass games example gt5......sony knows when it comes to bribing ms takes the cake so they dont even bother playing that game...good for sony id rather a sony exclusive then a multiport with alittle more content then the 360 version at trade for less money going to exclusive games and new ip's...whatever im not going to worry about it its the way this world spins, the more money you have the more power and leverage. i accept it i know it wont change all i can do is support the lesser of a bully company sony....

ReBurn5187d ago

Even with Blu-Ray there is still paid DLC for PS3 exclusives. DLC at its heart isn't about space on disc. It's a way for developers to continue to earn revenue from games they've already released. You can go onto PSN and see tons of DLC for PS3 exclusives. Look at LittleBigPlanet. Tons of DLC for that game. Can't blame DVD for that.

I think that many people are confused and can't separate the issues of lack of disc space on Xbox 360 and the true motives of companies like Capcom. This was planned paid DLC all along. It just sounds better to say that it is Microsoft's fault that it had to be this way. However nothing can be farther from the truth.

deafwing5187d ago

... this is a war who said anything about fair but a las the people who benefit & loose the most from it have no say ... so nothing is really fair.

callahan095187d ago

@ReBurn:

Yeah, but in some cases DLC exists because at some point the developers have to release the damn game, and sometimes they want to keep making stuff for the game, so the only way to get that content out there is to release it as DlC since you've long since released the game to retail. There's a difference between having to be finished with a game for development time concerns and needing to finally get the product on shelves, and then continuing development of DLC thereafter, and actually creating content that COULD be available to all people who bought the game on the disc, but isn't for other reasons. The latter is the case here. The content exists, it's not development constraints that are keeping it from being available on the disc for PS3 owners at launch, they are purposefully withholding the content and making us pay for it later. This isn't the first time it's been done, either. I mean, Dragon Age Origins had DLC on the first day the game was available. Granted most new copies of the game came with codes to download it for free, but why should that have been necessary at all when it could have just been on the disc? It's not as bad of a case because the content was free, but if you buy that game used, you don't get that content, and frankly, you should, it should be on the disc, because it COULD have been on the disc. I dunno. Point is, some DLC is acceptable because it shows developers continuing to support and create for their game after release, and other DLC is bullsh*t because it represents greed, where the content COULD have been available to buyers on the disc, but isn't. Not all DLC can be lumped into the same class.

beardpapa5187d ago

I understand that much that DLC is a way for them to continue generating revenue, but without a way to resale it I just don't appreciate spending money on something that can't go along with the physical game if I wanted to resale that.

I remember it was the case with selling my Wii. I had tons of those virtual games on it before I sold it off on ebay. Buyer asked if those games could be kept but sadly they couldn't because my CC info had to remain on the system for them to function. That's money invested that could've made the auction listing more appealing.

Of course, I only take this stance against DLC because we've never really had DLC before. Not even on PCs. And when we did have it on PC it was free. I remember Wing Commander 4's expansion was free for download. I just don't feel like it's justified to pay 280 ms points to unlock 5 cars in TDU when they were available on the disc. That's just plain wrong.

And since DLC has become some form of extra revenue generator thanks to the early "pay DLC to get code unlock content on disc", I see that there are developers out there that are now purposefully releasing DLC because they know there is a % of gamers out there that will pay for it as well as a % of younger gamers that will use mommy/daddy cc to get it.
