Lost Planet Map Pack #3 Coming 6/21

Multiplayer map pack #3 for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft will be available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace on Thursday, June 21. The map pack costs 400 Microsoft Points and includes THREE new multiplayer levels: "Lost Technology," a throw-back to the good ol' days of pixelated 8-bit gaming; "Ruins," ancient temples set amidst a lush jungle; and "Ice Drop," a frigid glacier with lots of peaks, nooks and crannies.

Lost Planet is an epic gaming masterpiece combining a gripping single player campaign and intense multiplayer modes with support for up to 16 players on the Xbox Live online game service. Taking full advantage of Xbox 360 system's power , Lost Planet contains sophisticated visuals, with an unmatched level of detail as advanced light sourcing is used to ensure a realistic presentation that enhances every explosion, smoke and particle effect. Enormous world maps unfold as players battle hostile creatures in blistering weather conditions across vast snowfields and deserted cities either on foot or in armed, robotic Vital Suits.

Wow! New environments!! And the 8-bit themed level looks awesome as hell

And it's 400 POINTS for 3 maps. Not too bad.

 

[Tieno]

Heh, the 8-bit themed level is cool original DLC!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Holy CRAP, hey Lost Planet, WAIT UP!! I'M SORRY I LEFT!

 

[John Harker]

Woa. Sweet.

Lost Planet is rediculously awesome. I really wish more people played it.
And I wish it had a straight deathmatch mode online.

 

[Mmmkay]

Holy mother of Zeus.

 

[Francias Castiglione]

Not sure about the thick black lines between each "pixel" but that is a cool idea.

 

[Z_Y]

I don't remember NES/SMS games looking that good.

 

[pswii60]

Holy shit, wasn't expecting to see that. Just goes to show what is possible with the LP engine. Awesome.

The first one looks like Mario Planet!

 

[Nino]

Good job Capcom.

 

[Barry Lightning]

woooooow

[MirageDwarf]

8-bit level is the coolest idea ever...

 

[dskillzhtown]

Dammit, I just traded LP in!!! That looks awesome.

 

[Gowans]

Experimantation in maps that dont fit in with he world, style & theme of lost plannet?

I think this is awesome, shame I didnt like the game

 

[bluemax]

I tried playing the multiplayer the other night for the first time since the multiplayer demo.

Talk about one of the most confusing online multiplayer games I've played in forever. I honestly couldn't make heads or tales of what I was supposed to be doing. And playing on a map where the rocket launcher was the start weapon was probably a bad idea, I did not live long at all.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Lost Planet still has, IMHO, by far the best mech modeling, animation, physics, and most importantly, /gameplay/ of any mecha title of the last decade. Maybe ever. Yes, it isn't the "Virtua Mech Sim" in terms of detail that most games with mechs go for. But damn it, it /really/ achieves the feeling of being in a mecha-enhanced universe without being bogged down by how the mechs work.

As I always say... right on cue

 

[hyp]

glad theyre still supporting this game, i think i may have to hop on this map pack. still, capcom should create some new dead rising content... now that's a game begging for some DLC.

 

[Aaron]

Heh, I just got the notification that my copy is shipping to me, so I'll be all set when these get released.

 

[MCD]

Thank you kindly Blim.

man...if only i can fight Akrids on the Ice Drop level...

The on-foot parts were great, but the mech portions in the 2nd half of the game sucked. LP2 has to be all on-foot. Or atleast minimal mech sections.

 

[Ronin]

This.Is.Awesome.

 

[Blimblim]

As I always say... right on cue

Actually this time I don't know why we did not post this before you, since it's been online on xboxyde for almost 2 hours now

 

[a Master Ninja]

$5 for those 3 maps, I'll probably bite. I like Lost Planet, it has it's faults, but the team games are still fun. Any GAFfers want to do some 8-bit post grab matches on the 21st?

 

[sangreal]

I support your views

 

[KTallguy]

Wow, that's pretty cool

 

[Jim]

Actually this time I don't know why we did not post this before you, since it's been online on xboxyde for almost 2 hours now

I usually wait a bit to see if you guys are going to post stuff since you're so damn fast. Hah.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Just a note.

8-BIT LEVEL MUST BE SEEN IN MOTION HOLY CATS.

 

[KachoMakura]

Lost Planet 2 should be incredible with all these new environments they've created. I hated that Lost Planet 1 was mostly snow and lava levels.

:-( I don't have bit- torrent can someone upload it please.

 

[jmdajr]

capcom I applaud you

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

:-( I don't have bit- torrent can someone upload it please.

You can stream nem off the site just to see.

 

[MCD]

:-( I don't have bit- torrent can someone upload it please.

You can direct download, look beyond what you see.

 

[Skilotonn]

Capcom is awesome... didn't see this coming at all, and not only that, they look so damn good too!

And on top of that, not tow, but three for 400 points this time - good stuff...

Talk about support... if I wasn't playing Gears every night, I'd be playing this - online is a blast...

Damn, even videos of the maps already? Blim does it again!

 

[AdmiralViscen]

That's awesome.

Is multi any good in this game?

 

[XSamu]

This makes me wanna play the game again, AWESOME

 

[StorablePrawn]

Wow. I'll finally get this, probably right ****ing now.

 

[8bit]

!

I would have liked if the players were similarly blocky, but that's just fantastic as it is.

 

[Flek]

awesome maps"!

 

[tribal24]

wow impressive maps i like

 

[RyuHayate]

When it comes to DLC, both Real Time Worlds and Capcom deliver.

 

[Regret Truth]

Holy CRAP, hey Lost Planet, WAIT UP!! I'M SORRY I LEFT!

For real!! I'm re-buying this TONIGHT!

Blim, those videos were great! Do you ever sleep?

 

[Kingpen]

Me too.... luckily I hit up the gamestop buy 2 get one free deal last saturday.... I have one day left to go swap out command and conquer 3 for lost planet. I always loved lost planet, I've tried twice to let C&C3 suck me in, but I can't help but thinking how much better LOTR:BFME2 is in strategy, and theme....

 

[svenuce]

Very, very nice approach. Great post-launch support. Wish other devs supported their games like Capcom.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

For real!! I'm re-buying this TONIGHT!

Blim, those videos were great! Do you ever sleep?

I never sold it. After rebuying Test Drive Unlimited, I vowed to never again trade in a game I enjoyed for any prolonged period of time. That way goes the way of darkness and sad.

 

[davepoobond]

that 8-bit level looks great haha
