wow@Capcom

The scan is leaked.

It is an overhaul version(for online play) of Lost Planet.

5/29 Japan,360/PC crossplatform play confirmed,too.

[Strider2K99]

Source?

[B.K.]

He says a scan, so it's probably this week's Famitsu.

[Truespeed]

Is it too early to confirm the POS PS3 port?

[Blablurn]

No love for PS3?

[ToyMachine228]

Lost Planet had online multiplayer, what's different about this version?

[bran]

Details? Require XBL Gold for Windows version?

- Looks like you can fight as bugs against humans.
- 4 new maps (it says something about a city-style map, and a desert level)
- new female playable character
- new weapons

[Strider2K99]

He says a scan, so it's probably this week's Famitsu.

I figured, but wanted to confirm.

So online multiplayer only version of Lost Planet with cross-platform play, is that what this is?

[chris0701]

Source?

no scan allowed now :(

I wonder why Capcom did a older release Lost Planet for PS3...

[Strider2K99]

Heh, I didn't ask for a scan, just a source.

[Jonnyram]

There are new rules, including Human vs Akrid, and the ability to play as Akrid (sorry, not PvE per se)
New maps.
New chars, incl. a female.
New weapons.
Trial Battle mode and score attack for the bosses of the single player game.

[schild]

So You've seen it? Beleeted.

[Phthisis]

If this is real: FUCK YEAH. I just bought Lost Planet on Friday and multiplayer is off the fucking hook and I want more.

If this is fake: FUCK YOU. I just bought Lost Planet on Friday and multiplayer is off the fucking hook and I want more.

[AdmiralViscen]

The year of 360 continues.

Seriously though, who the fuck asked for this? Ugh.

[Rorschach]

So PC version won't be on steam?

[Narag]

There are new rules, including PvE, and the ability to play as Akrid. New maps. New chars, incl. a female. New weapons. Time trial mode and score attack for the bosses of the single player game.

Sounds neat, just not full price neat.

Niiiiiiiiice!

[beermonkey@tehbias]

LP multi was by far the best thing about the game.

Still, I was hoping for something more. Given that the $20 retail game is dead, at least for the high-def systems, I have to think this will cost more than I think it is worth.

[cw_sasuke]

The year of 360 continues.

when did it started ?

[schild]

when did it started ?

It starts whenever you get your 360 back from Microsoft.

Then it ends when you send it back. Microsoft Years are a little shorter than years by any other measurement.

[chris0701]

Heh, I didn't ask for a scan, just a source.

I don't know. The poster seems omit the bottom half part of the complete scan.

It's not dead. There's plenty of people playing online. I played all this weekend and Monday and Tuesday night for several hours.

[bran]

So basically Capcom is taking a DLC, putting it on a disc, and selling it at full, more than DLC price?

Let me guess, this is going to be 3900yen? ~around 40USD?
That's like 3200 microsoft points, LOLOL

Capcom.... less obvious please?

[BigBoss]

Lost Planet Substance?

[Bebpo]

So it's basically LP Directors Cut.

Wonder why they waited so long to release it then. I don't think anyone cares at this point :\

[Mindlog]

The opportunity to play as an Akrid intrigues me. I tend to enjoy very fast/vulnerable FPS characters like the aliens in AVP and Natural Selection.

I'll file this under, 'keep tabs on.'

[jet1911]

There are new rules, including PvE

PvE as in 16 humans against waves after waves of giant bugs Starship Troopers style? :o

This sounds good btw, i wanna see some screens.

Aliens are not vulnerable. They are fast and strong!

Humans are vulnerable.

Should have been DLC if these details are accurate.

[AgentOtaku]

considering I ADORED Lost Planet's MP ....I'll say I am indeed looking forward to this....though I still probably have my ass handed to me buy the jPan players

[bran]

PvE as in 16 humans against waves after waves of giant bugs Starship Troopers style? :o

This would actually deserve a 2000 MS point DLC. Still no repurchase though.

[Strider2K99]

Should have been DLC if these details are accurate.

Yeah, but it's teh cross platform!

[Aaron]

So it's basically LP Directors Cut. Wonder why they waited so long to release it then. I don't think anyone cares at this point :\

LP multi was popular for quite a long time. This will do well... if they fix the invulnerabilty lag. The only problem with multi was a person who was lagging was almost impossible to kill due to the way the game registered hits. So on your screen it would look like you got him dead, but on his screen he's already moved past where you shot.

I'd still probably buy it for the PvE though.

[Zipa Tony]

more details plz.... is this a new game?

[RiZ III]

Wait so is all the new stuff related to online play only?

[Kydd BlaZe]

Multiplayer only title?

[Mindlog]

dunno, can't read Japanese.

Definitely probably not multi-only, but judging from the previously released achievements multi-centric.

[a Master Ninja]

Sounds neat, just not full price neat.

Exactly. Give this game a budget price, or make it a downloadable game/expansion and I'm all over it.

[soultron]

@ Aaron:

I just wish the devs at CAP could fix up the whole "stun animations," both in the SP and MP. In SP, some bosses just punished you, hitting you as soon as you got up from the knockback animation. Same thing in MP; the shotgun was a terrible weapon for this reason.

The game could really do without the looping stun animations you get caught in. I think it'd give the MP side a much faster pace, since you'd die more often, rather than wasting your time waiting for your character to recover from animations.

[Phthisis]

Man, Lost Planet PvE! The only thing better than fighting Green Eye or that huge snow worm is fighting Green Eye or that huge snow worm with a band of fellow snow pirates. Can't wait to see what crazy ass schemes Capcom has come up with for the mode.

EDIT- The fact that 250 achievment points were unlocked leads me to believe this will be downloadable much like Shivering Isles, and the 250 achievement points indicate that Capcom is using Colonies as an expansion to the original game (since developers are allowed 1000 points on the disc, and up to 250 additional through DLC).

I think to the hardcore LP online players, sure it sounds good. I mean I guess it's closer to the equivalent of a $15 DLC pack full of online maps/modes. Usually these packs though come out sooner than 1.5 years after the game is released and most of the community has left.

I just really don't see how they're going to sell this. The LP online community that's still alive is probably not enough to fund an new retail disc.

Maybe they'll pull a VF4 Evo and just package this as LP Greatest Hits version for $30.

[Mindlog]

Have to imagine this must be released by September at the latest. GoW 2 is going to be an attention whore.

I agree with all my gamer being. I haven't felt so angered with a game since jumping a tauntaun over gaps while getting hit in mid air by shit from off screen in Super Empire Strikes Back.

[cw_sasuke]

anything else in the famitsu ?

[The AnswerV]

lolz, I didn't know about it.

[batbeg]

I hope you're not keeping that there...

[Narag]

Done.
