PSBlog: Lost Planet 2 Has Something Special For PS3

PlayStation Blog writes: That’s right, coming in June, PS3 owners will be able to download two skins of the Helghast characters from Killzone at no charge! These skins, in addition to the previously announced Monster Hunter skin which will be available later this month, are exclusive to PlayStation fans across the globe. From the “My Page” menu in Lost Planet 2, players can build and customize their own unique character for use in the online versus mode. Once a player completes the campaign mode, they can port their multiplayer characters to the co-op story action, including the in-game cut scenes. While there are numerous options for unlocking head, torso, arm, leg, and backpack pieces for your character, the character skins for Helghast, Monster Hunter, Dead Rising’s Frank West, and Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker must all be used as a single piece.

guess this Is cool

[Double Toasted]

Yeah, that is cool as sh*t!

[Redrum059]

lots of exclusive content much?

[Chubear]

The helgasts are so damned cool they can make any game look cool lol

I can bet there'll be gamers that pick this game up just for the helgast DLC alone lol. Not me though, Capcom can kiss my butt.

[iMad]

i am tired of this BIG NEWS..every company seems to make noice for every little detail they have...i only care on big news...if LO2 will have mind blowing GFX then i will buy it..in other case it is all the same...

[ThanatosDMC]

Meh, i might get the game once the price goes down with my MAG clan members.

Has anyone finished the game yet? Is it good? The guy on my friends list that was playing it moved on back to WKC after a day. I'm not sure if he finished it or quit playing. I dont want to message him again since he keeps sending me disgusting pictures. Yep, think 2 girls and a cup.

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

... selling your soul to the devil is one of your worst move. Capcom, you should have just stayed Japanese.

The video it self was cool though. Consuelo de bobo.

Well again M$ paid for a crummy exclusivity window for DLC.
I wish I had that much money to waste.

[Etseix]

pshh thats true :/
...
but well... to capcom.. now give me some cross platform option, so i can take on the Gears boys using the Helgast army ..hehehe.....>;]

[Lou-Cipher]

Seeing the Helgast using the Lost Planet graphics engine really makes you appreciate how wonderful the Killzone 2 graphics engine is.

[Jsynn7]

I had a feeling they were gonna show up. I wasn't planning to pick this up but now I more than likely will. That sh!t was hot with scout. Helghast taking over Lost Planet FTW!

[captain-obvious]

i dont care about this game
in here its cheap its like 50 $ but im not buying it
but i gotta say that trailer gave me the chills

the power of helgan

[kagon01]

I'm might buy it for my PC(if this game uses drm is a no for me), but I wont buy a gimped version for my console of choice(ps3), my console must be clean and tiddly from dirty ports such as this...

[Megaton]

The trailer was actually pretty cool, but it doesn't change my feelings about this game.

[execution17]

almost tempted to buy it now on how bada*s looking that vid was

[execution17]

tempted to even pop in my KZ2 and kick some ISA scum

[Sarcasm]

Pretty cool

[Godmars290]

Looked like they had skins for the VS too.

[AliTheBrit19]

I doubt that many people care

Rented the game a day or so ago, Terrible excuse for a game..

Seriously, the first was average but this is just something else... It didn't even feel like a finished product.

[IMChampion]

I really can't get past the controls from the demo and the mp was terrible. I actually forgot the game was out until I saw this.

[PLXNIN]

Yeah like shittier frame rate, heavier screen tearing, and blurrier textures.

This isn't year 2007 Capcom.

[A change in the wind]

Maybe it was the content that made the game good, but was cut out because of xbox storage limitations. ROFL.

[mcnablejr]

Dont think so ;)

Wicked trailer tho.

[kenpachi]

i might pick this on the cheap in a few months, Helghast fit in pretty well with the actually game

[WMW]

it is kinda funny how the 2 greyest games this gen fit in so well with a colorful world like lost planet 2. maybe gears and killzone 3 can add more color since we know it fits them now.

[nycredude]

Maybe you should get a clue because Helghan is NOT a freaking Rainbow bright world.

[unworthyBOZO]

Its nice that its free.

[WMW]

ps3 owners get helghast and 360 owners get the gears of war guys this is how exclusive dlc should be everyone gets something similar but different.

[Kamikaze135]

Even if we get different, yet exclusives maps, for example, nobody really misses out. It sucks when multiplatforms outweigh one console over another when it comes to content.

[Grimhammer00]

What game are these people who claim that LP2 has bad textures, screen tearing, framerate issues?

I have noticed some "teleporting" from AI in the one level.
But it's hardly indicative of the whole game!

Game plays great! Controls ate just different!
It's like not bad at all...though I'm one of the few who easily adapts to controls.
Too Human wasn't even a deal breaker for me.

Action is good in coop, but mp is where it gets good!
It's a great game. Don't take the demo as a reason for hate...the demo is not at all like the final product. The screen tearing is all gone!

PS3 I own.

[raztad]

I had no problem with the controls in the demo. In fact I enjoyed a lot how the game feels.

LP2 is a sure purchase for me down the road, mostly to play the SP campaign with another buddy.

BTW, those Helghast skins are awesome.

[PLXNIN]

Here're some comparison shots for textures.

http://yoda.dip.jp/Game/Los...

As for the frame rate & tearing, just watch this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Even the IGN review backs it up.

Why would I trust some random guy instead?

There're people who thought RE5 ran well on PS3. I'm certainly not one of them.

[jack_burt0n]

LOL u obviously never played RE5 on 360 it ran like utter crap the screentearing was so so so bad, and those shots you posted dont prove anything, and the 360 version of LP2 is just as stuttery watch the IGN comparison video! the game is quite a mess but u are just a troll.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Ok the game sucks but the Helghast are awesome, almost awesome enough to warrant me buying the game... almost lol.

[Barbapapa]

helghan army is awesome.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Agreed, hope that we see some KZ3 at E3. Would be great to see what will happen.

[Sarevok]

You gotta love the helghast!
I was going to ignore this game but now..eh I'll pick it up when it's like 20=30$

[Ri0tSquad]

Still wouldn't buy it though.

[thehitman]

That put a crazy idea in my head if Guerilla games and Epic Games both made a shooter together with a Gear/Killzone mix Killzone would be the ps3 side and Gear the 360 side and they make a network so that both sides can play each other.

(I know I am Dreaming)

[SuperStrokey1123]

Thats not a good idea at all sorry.

[R_aVe_N]

That would most likely be the worst game EVER! Two totally different feels in those games. Gears is slow paced while Killzone is a fast pace game. I can not even think of helghast being massively over bulky characters! I understand its an art design and I just don't like it at all. That is my opinion though.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Now I want this game even more. I'll have to pick it up.

[R_aVe_N]

That is cool as hell! I care very little for this game, but the skins rock!

[gijsbrecht]

Okay and wow. To be honest Lost Planet 2 wasn't on my radar, but this looks f*cking cool. This shows that the Killzone universe would lend itself well for a TPS. Perhaps the UC2 skins already showed that, but the atmosphere in this trailer is really fitting. And on a second note, the Helghast do look quite heroïc in this trailer. Not at all as the bad guys. Yep, I love this.

[VenGencE999]

Was gonna pass on this game since I have way too many shooters, but then I saw the gears characters and thought maybe later. But after seeing that trailer it's a definite buy, only much later when it's much cheaper...

[Darkfiber]

This game is much better than reviewers gave it credit for. I'm certain they only played the game once, single player, and never touched any of the other features. I guess that's all we can expect from people who are paid to blast through the single player campaign of a game as fast as possible.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

No wonder people rag on PS3 owners. Bunch of damn cry babies

[CernaML]

Cry moar

[Superduper09]

Damn, that footage was awesome.

[jalen247]

This is pretty cool. Probably won't be picking up this game until its $19.99 or less.
