Lost Planet 2

[Failed]

that's the ones, the top one they're all shooting a vicious clod of grass and the one below it, the Lost Planet guy got eaten by an evil shrub and they're running away.

Be cool to see Marcus grappling up walls and then they should add it to Gears 3, it will add a whole new dimension to the game ... maybe >_<

Lost Planet 2 trailer gets big



Capcom heralds "Kill Big" as the tagline for a new Lost Planet 2 trailer, and you can certainly see why after the break. The trailer's full of big vehicles, big trains and big helicopter things, all carrying big dudes with big guns and big armor, wearing big helmets with big cylindrical ears. Those big dudes are shooting their big guns at gigantic Akrid and sometimes manning big mechs too.

Everything about Lost Planet 2 is big, in fact, except for Capcom's video player. It's merely okay-sized. Thankfully, we've got a reasonably-sized YouTube version. So, pick up your Big Gulp of Big Red and take a big sip as you give your mouse a big click to head past the break. And, if you're really big on Lost Planet, join the other obsessives in picking apart the trailer.

Lost Planet 2 brought forward a week

Capcom has announced plans to release a limited-access multiplayer demo of Lost Planet 2 next week and brought the game's release date forward a week to 11th May on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The demo will be available on PSN and Xbox Live but initially it will only be accessible to people who have a redeemable code distributed through the Lost Planet 2 website and other media outlets. Xbox 360 codes will work on 31st March and PS3 ones will work on 1st April, Capcom has said.

Eurogamer will have a number of keys for both PSN and Xbox Live next week, so stop by then and we may be able to sort you out. The demo will be made available to everyone on 21st and 22nd April for Xbox Live and PSN respectively.

As for what's in it, you get to enjoy 16-player battles on the "Turbulent Jungle" map from the online versus mode, along with full voice chat and result stats support "so players can establish bragging rights".

What's more, players who download and play the demo will get access to the special Machine Gun SP, which fires three-round bursts, when they purchase the full game.

Lost Planet 2 getting guest characters from Dead Rising, Monster Hunter



A handful of Lost Planet 2 screenshots from Famitsu  have revealed the game will borrow the stars of two more franchises: Frank West from Dead Rising and the Scaly Knife-Gun Dude from Monster Hunter, the latter being exclusive to the PS3 version of the game. For those of you keeping track, these two join Gears of War's Marcus and Dom (who will only appear in the 360 version), Resident Evil's Wesker, and What's His Face from Lost Planet 2 in the fight against the calamitous, towering Akrid.

Though most of these crossovers seem pretty out of place, we're betting the dude from Monster Hunter will be right at home bringing down monsters the size of football stadiums. That kind of thing is right in his wheelhouse.





Thought i'd throw in the Gears pic again too

Pair of Lost Planet 2 multiplayer maps to be GameStop pre-order bonus



During its Captivate 2010 media event last week, Capcom revealed two additional multiplayer maps for Lost Planet 2. On top of the 10 maps included on the game disc, this pair of DLC maps will be used as a pre-order incentive (apparently exclusive  to GameStop) and will also be made available for all owners of the game to purchase at an unspecified point in time after the game's release.

The maps, "Helix" and "Back to the Island," are (according to G4) said to feature the ability to swim (well, tread water, at least) with the former taking place underwater at the NEVEC ocean research facility. The latter, a remake of a map from the original game, sounds like it starts off on the beach of Island 902, carries on into the jungle, and then eventually winds up underground after players open a mysterious hatch. It's a lost planet, after all.

Anyone else played this yet, hmm dunno what the make of it, frikkin hard soloing it (even with 3 AI's) seems a very online/co-oped, ill give it a few more hours then ill probably send back, got metro 2033 and alan wake sitting there waiting to smash and want to get them out of the way before red dead.

it's frakkin Hard solo, like you said, i can't wait to play it coop though.... online was a bit meh! but i only played TDM. I reckon playing some of the better modes like post grab etc will make it more fun.

Very cinematic game, with a Gearsy feel, minus the cover system (sorely missed).
