Capcom announces LOST PLANET 2 (360) - shock&awe imminent

Placing bets on Lost Planet 2.
What a cosmic coincidence. Just after I read that I heard "place your bets ladies and gentlemen" coming out of my speakers controlled by itunes set at random.

"Eye on the winner, got a hot hand" the lyrics then go of course.
"We got a shooter and it's a good one"

Oh god. Hideki Naganuma can see into the future.
 
The SP in LP1 was OK at best. The MP was fuck awesome however, and with Colonies it just got better. This looks like the MP additions from Colonies x10, and in SP as well. DAY ONE!
 
What was cool about the mp in LP1?
Was it the maps, guns, teamwork?
Never played it but was looking forward to some new mp other than the Halo's and COD's I've been playing for the last 5 years. Looks like I'm passing on KZ2 also.

For the record you have no idea when this will be released. As the site say its LONG WAY to being released.
 
I wonder how the T-Energy system is going to work, especially since the motivation for the gimmick (sub-zero environments) is gone. I'm guessing it will still be used for powering energy-based weapons.

MM MMMM

We dig.

You and me buddy. JUSS YOU N' ME.
A whole squad launching grapples at the same time to scale an environment is one of my most vivid gaming memories this gen.

Lost Planet :bow

It's weird how they skill have the full TNG suits on in the middle of a jungle. :lol

After that trailer? After that trailer?

ban crisco pls
He should be banned for having a different opinion ? thats a bit harsh. I thought it looked awesomely greatly,
not mind blowing OMG great, but awesomely great and knowing capcom it's only going to get better if DMC4
is anything to go by.

EDIT: Something funny I've realized about Gaf is that, whenever there is a new announcement of some game,
the first few hundred or so posts are normally over exaggerated. But when more people take a second look at
announced or unveiled game, then mixed feelings ensue.
 
God that trailer and annoncement video was so cringe :lol . The Japanese guy at the beginning kept swaying when he talked and the movie voice was so out of place. Looking forward to the game though :D
 
Awesome. I was watching the beginning thinking 'I wonder if they're gonna show any gameplay in the trailer', and then when the cutscene ended and it was just the run-in to a mission, I weed myself a little bit.

Yeah, I'm getting a sinking feeling that they thought the terrible VO/acting from the first game was acceptable in the sequel.
I hope they seriously consider hiring a western dev to help them clarify the voice acting for this game.
 
So the Svensson comment implies that it's getting a later release than Dead Rising 2. That's fine, Capcom. Space your big releases out, give em time.

I'm not known for my benevolence. Agreed on the rest. :)

....the graphics looked like Lost Planet -- just more refined. i like the contrast though.
He called it a Wii game. I remember Viscen getting banned in the Turok thread for implying that it looks like a PS2 game.


Anyway, it was a stupid fucking comment, let's not dwell on it.

Capcom are so outclassing other Japanese developers this generation.

Trailer looks incredible.

hehe its true (except for me MGS4 was vastly superior to anything they have outputted)..

Pity I would take ffxiii and versus right now over any and all capcom games X 100

You know who hates LP is what I'm gettin' at. :P
 
I like that capcom doesn't have these games on two year cycles. It's going to be 3 years for both I think.

True, I meant more in terms of the way they handle their titles, not the titles themselves. Along with what they've been doing with downloadable titles.

This is what a game announcement should be.

Not a CG trailer five years before the release of a game.
Gameplay, from day one, already looking stunning.

This is what I want from Japanese developers. They should all be looking to Capcom for direction.
 
Looks incredible, probably the best looking console game so far. Capcom's tech really is outclassing the competition this generation.

Oh, I know. Just felt like going off on a tangent since the grappling in the vid brought back memories.

PS, tell him he stinks.

Uh, we're getting sequels to Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the span of one month.

What exactly should come before Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2?

Actually, why am I arguing? You suck at liking good games.

You're high.

What about this trailer says B tier to you? To me it says look Westerns, we're kicking fucking ass over here, don't get complacent.

I'm more excited about this than RE5.
 
1st excuse: T-ENG is still critical to life on a newly revived EDN III; it doesn't just keep them warm, it also almost instantly heals any damage caused by big fucking bugs and gives them enhances strength and stamina, as well as allowing them to power the Vital Suits and energy weapons.

2nd excuse: maybe they're stuck with it and have no choice but to use it or die/forget their memories.

3rd excuse: we're CAPGOD and we're not changing what works >:(.

I'm going with #1 myself :P
 
So this game is understood to be coming out for PS3 also? I mean, Capcom did say from here on out they were multiplatform? This game looks like a lot of fun. I liked the first game when I had a 360, but the PS3 port of the first one was terrible. If this second game comes to PS3 but is handed off to some other team resulting in another sloppy port then no thanks...
 
Never played the first because I wasn't that interested in the single player. How was the mp on this and colonies?


That would be what would draw me in for the sequel most likely.
 
Despite the brain dead AI and the utterly stupid story, Lost Planet was genuinely fun. The atmosphere was great, the graphics amazing (still amazing), and the V-suit bits were a ton of fun.

Co-op makes Lost Planet 2 jump up pretty high on my hype list. Now if they can only craft a decent story and give us some decent AI this time around...

I never said I did.
I can not wait until the next COD, I will play it to death but I was just wondering what were people most impressed about in the mp of LP1 so I may have something else to look forward to in LP2. I'm not getting that "other" game sorry, I totaly unhyped myself.

Stupid stories are what Capcom is all about. It's part of the charm, imo.

THEY WERE DEVELOPING WORMS THAT COULD TURN COWS INTO ZOMBIES, BUT EVERYTHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG!
