Capcom's ''New'' Game Announced: Lost Planet 2
Written Monday, February 23, 2009 by Alan Pettit


Last week a teaser appeared on the marketplace of Capcom announcing something big. This morning that announcement came and it is... Lost Planet 2? Don't get me wrong, the first was quite fun, but I kind of thought a sequel was inevitable. A big mystery reveal like this probably should have been saved for a new IP.

Regardless, there you have it. Check back later and hopefully we'll have some screenshots and the trailer for you. For now know this: the snow has melted and we'll have a quite different game this time around.

The first one was fun. Would consider getting the second.

I liked the first one, but it was nothing to write home about. I might rent it.

Hopefully we see even bigger critters in this one

I loved the first game and really looking forward to this one

 

[hairlesswookiee]

i rented the first game and never finished it. just didn't have anything "next" gen to keep my interest.

 

[Moonloop]

I really did not like the first one, and I don't see it as a "hit" either. I'll pass.

 

[Kaijuboy]

I think losing the whole "arctic" setting might be a mistake. It was one of the few things that really made the first "unique"...

Jungles are well... almost like doing the middle-east... again...

As I sold the first one about a week and a half after I got it (and after convincing BadMoon to also fall into the trap) I am counted into the category of "meh" for the sequel.

The MP in that game was absolute arse (at least IMO).

I was all excited when I saw the video on Live of the surprise Capcom announcement...until I saw it was for LP2.

New details on Capcom's Lost Planet 2 have emerged, via the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine in the US.

The second game, as we suspected, shifts the focus from the original's lonely drudge through the snow to a four-player bug explosion-fest.

"Lost Planet 2 will put a huge emphasis on your responsibility to your team," says OXM. "Besides having you mind your own T-ENG reserves when the fighting gets rough, Capcom also plans to incorporate something called a 'Team Military Power Bar.' If you happen to die during a mission, you'll be able to immediately respawn at a data post - but your team's overall Military Power Bar will take a hit."

From the sound of OXM's first-look preview it's a more action-packed, customisable - and less snowy - action experience. And there are plenty of skyscraper size boss monsters for you and your mates to take down...

"My three comrades have scattered to the winds," says OXM of it first battle with a "three-story high" boss monster. "One guy has climbed into a clunky VS and is scrapping it out along the waterlogged canyon floor, while another dude is unloading round after round from a firearm best described as a handheld missile launcher.

"And yet another buddy has somehow grapple-hooked onto the back of the monster and is now riding it like a giant, living surfboard.

"No matter where everyone has dug in on the map, we're all madly cramming lead into the beast's various 'hotspots' - areas on his body that faintly glow a molten orange colour from thermal energy," adds OXM in its battle report.

"For now, we're each concentrating on two of the salamander's knees to render it immobile. And the minute the second knee buckles, the creature stumbles to the ground with its mouth wide open. A team mate bravely hops in - as we all watch his screen in slack-jawed awe - he enters the creatures cavernous innards..."

The mag also notes that "There's no one character in the game. You're a snow pirate and you can customise everything from your armour, starting weapons right down to your cheeky finishing taunt. There are new melee moves too, which are said to be "a little like the chainsaw in Gears of War".

 

[The Josh]

The MP was not really all that hot for the first but I did enjoy the story mode. I may end up getting this game but it will depend on timing with other stuff.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

looking forward on renting part 2.

great story.

Lost Planet definately was a fun game, but it wasn't worth the $60. I might pick this one up way down the line after it has gone down in price.

Get Lost Again With a New Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer Versus Demo Next Week


Lost Planet 2 sends you back to EDN III, taking on gigantic Akrid in the jungles that were hidden beneath that snow all along. Who knew?!

Normally, one demo is enough to get a feel for a game, but it's been quite a while since LP2's last multiplayer demo, which showcased the game's co-op.

Capcom has therefore decided to release the 'Turbulent Jungles' map from Lost Planet 2's competitive versus mode for up to 16-players on the XBL Marketplace April 21st.

Clearly, you can never have too much of a good thing. Lost Planet 2 is out this May.
