Are they sticking with the weird control of the screen (As in, there is a box that you can move the aiming reticle in and the screen isn't affected until you reach the edge of that box)? That was my single complaint about the demo.

Maybe it's just me, but screenshots don't do this game justice. In fact, I think it looks a little bland in screens.

Playing the game and seeing it in motion is another story however.

Those screens are just freakin WOW considering what the demo looks like in screenshots, and I trust Capcom to put a decent storyline behind it. This is gonna RAWK.

They really need more shaders in this game. One to blend the snow edges with other environment assets would be nice, as the separation between walls and snow covered ground are really harsh looking.

We have to note that there were a number of times where we were stopped dead in our tracks and just said "oh crap" as we saw what lay before us, much like we did in Shadow of the Colossus. The boss fights also called to mind Colossus', as you'll have to figure out how to take out these massive critters. The big differentiator here is that Lost Planet's much more action-oriented gameplay feels like a better fit for that kind of spectacle. Plus, you have more death-dealing options--think about how easier it would have been to take down a colossus if you could have just shot it in the face with a rocket launcher.

these screens are pretty bad

if I hadn't played this game in the (impressive) state it was like six months ago I would have zero interest. is it not becoming widely apparent yet how unrepresentative screens are of 'next-gen' titles?

That's good to hear. This is the first time of seen pictures of the game and I was wondering what all the fuss is about. I actually don't know a thing about this game. So I gather it's good.

Why are people hating on the screens again? This game is like the second best looking game on the Xbox360 EASILY. Plus it looks like all sorts of fun and very cinematic. This one will be a great title and I want to play it very badly!

My favorite thing about this game is how ridiculously clean everything looks. Great art direction.

No one is hating on the screens. They're just saying that these screens don't do the game justice and that it looks better in motion. I totally agree with this. I've played the demo and loved it, but these screens just don't jump out as really impressive.

You're not supposed to go against GAF's flavour of the month, it's message board character suicide.

More like Found Planet.
In my game collection bitches!

That mini mech in a few pics already looks fun to use. Hopefully it's pretty quick.

You clearly didn't play the game enough if you had problems w/ the controls.

What the hell at the haters here??

It's the first next-gen game as far as i am concerned. Ok, this and Gears of War.
Now bow down you basturds.

...I played through both portions of the demo several times. Sorry to shatter your little hype machine, but this game would be infinitely better with a system that controlled similarly to a Gears of War/Halo where the screen moves with the reticle at all times. It's awkward as Hell for the perspective to only change when the reticle hits the edge of the aiming grid.
