1.1 - I posted this in a Dead Rising 2 story too and will post it again..
"with some exclusive content for the Xbox 360 version"

I love how Capcom claims to be an unbiased game dev, now making all their games multi-plat, yet they pull crap like that. Bu-bu.. we gave you a s**tty Lost Planet port with s**tty extras! It's all a load of crap IMO. If you want everyone to get the most for their money, then GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR SHARE.

And if you think it's only because Lost Planet is a franchise that started on 360, then where was the PS3 gamers' exclusive content with DMC4, or even RE5 for that matter?

I don't care which console it comes out for, because I own both. ;)

I'm just so excited to hear they are finally working on the sequel. This is the best news for 2009 since Killzone 2. Wooh! Cannot wait. :D

Well to be fair Capcom has a history of screwing people over.

-They ported over Street Fighter II on the SNES to the Genesis.In the old days that was a huge exclusive lost to Nintendo.

-Capcom ditched both Nintendo and Sega when the PS1 came to the top with Resident Evil

-Capcom ignored the PS2 for the Gamecube by promising 5 exclusive games including Resident Evil 4 for Nintendo and giving Sony the cold shoulder.

-Capcom then turned around and gave up all the GC exclusives to Sony even though RE4 sold millions on the GC

-Capcom gave 2 exclusives to 360:Dead Rising and Lost Planet.Capcom the turns around and gives up Dead Rising to the Wii and Lost Planet to PS3.

-MS has payed millions for exclusive deals with Capcom like DLC and console bundles only to have Capcom make new deals with Sony on PSN and then the online director for Capcom insults MS in a recent interview.

@zlatko:
Completely agree with you. Can't wait for the game to come out later this year!

@steven_colbert
What you are saying is indeed true. However, having the game released on multiple platforms never hurt the consumers so I don't care!

That's the first thing I thought. The first one was terrible. I guess it must be really popular in Japan for them to invest so much into this title's future.

It actually sold really well.

It looked much better than it was tbh, could've done with better 'cheves tho - and mechs that didn't feel like they were coal powered.

Apparently was popular online for a while.

2m+ estimation's enough for a sequel. I just hope that they get rid of the timed gameplay [use orbs for RPG style skills] actually use some proper voice actors and maybe put some more structure into the levels, and more checkpoints, speed up the mechs and make the controls more elegant.

Ah yeah, make the running speed faster and the MP more accessable - dropping into a warzone isn't fun when all the other guys have mechs and you're dead.

Many people disagree. There is no "crap game". Just because you didn't like it, doesn't make it 'crap'.

EDIT: Wow! I guess GTA IV is a 'crap game' then because I didn't like it! According to some people anyway...

4.2 - True
They're probably going to use the ps3 as lead since the 360 can easily handle their ports like the recent DMC. The ps3 on the other hand has a hard time handling the 360's ports.

loved the first game; but yes, the story itself was absolute crap ('I think it's time we take on Crimson Unity' or some stupid garbage like that - man these Japanese-types can be silly sometimes)!

A movie?? ...oh dear.

Goods news for all, but the PS3 version of the first game didn't look so good. Here's hopeing the second attempt is more successful.

Yeah, the graphics were great, the surround sound was even better and some of the boss battles were really impressive but the game felt like it moved way too slow and the story makes absolutely no sense, with no characters even worth mentioning. I found this game really boring and got rid of it as soon as I beat it, which is something I rarely do. The online portion wasn't even worth spending time on being that there are other more interesting games out there to play with other people.

I really liked the first one. I just wish it focused more on the creatures and hives instead of fighting soldiers and mechs.
