Kotaku Writes:
Capcom (may) have, via leaked mag scans, had the wraps taken off Lost Planet Colonies, the successor to snowy bug-killing simulator Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. What's new? There's a new playable character (that girl in snow gear) and in online play you'll get the option of playing as the bugs against the humans. That online play will feature cross-platform play between PCs and 360s. There's all-new weapons and all-new monsters to fight (including their eggs), and it'll be out in Japan on May 29. Oh, and no word of a PS3 release as of yet. Bear in mind: all this info comes courtesy of a leaked magazine scan that's been...modified to include super-awesome Xbox Japan boss Takashi Sensui, so until we get some more concrete info, take it all with a grain of salt.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
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.
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.
Sweet I hope this one has even more mech but what I find a bummer is that if the leaked achievements are true we are looking at a game with almost ALL of them being multiplayer focused :(
This isn't official
I'm confused. Is this a sequel with a new single player campaign or just an extension of the multiplayer?
IF and I do say IF, this is true...great way for Capcom to screw their potential PS3 sales.
Lost Planet was one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. I wish they would simply pretend this franchise wasn't created and never look back.
Well I'm 1 of them who did'nt like this game aswell same with my friend lol
But with X play I might consider it...just might...naw who am I kidding lol
