Well we've pretty much seen nothing on the game but tonight at comic con a trailer will debut at 18:00 PST and 21:00 EST on gametrailers and for those in the UK 1am

The game based on the hit TV series has been pushed back to Q1 2008, but it's now synced up with ABC's new schedule. At the Comic-Con show in San Diego Ubisoft is spilling the beans on more Lost details. John Gaudiosi reports...

SAN DIEGO—Ubisoft will use the world's largest comic book convention, Comic-Con, to unveil the first trailer for its upcoming Lost video game. The gameplay trailer will be shown as part of the Lost Season 4 panel today, which will take place in Ballroom 20 at 5 p.m. at the San Diego Convention Center. Co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse will discuss the upcoming season of the show, as well as the upcoming Lost Season 3 DVD boxed set, and the video game.

Ubisoft also announced that the game, which ships for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, has been pushed back to a Q1 2008 release. This will sync up with the ABC show's new schedule, which will continue for three more years but will feature abbreviated 16-episode seasons. The last episode will air in 2010. Originally, the game was going to ship this fall in tandem with the Season 3 DVD release.

The lead members of the Lost development team from Ubisoft's famed Montreal Studio were in Los Angeles Wednesday to show ABC executives and members of the Lost TV production team the latest build of the game. The new game will explore a new adventure set within the Lost universe.

Helene Juguet, senior director of marketing for Ubisoft, said the development team has worked closely with ABC Studios and the show's producers to create a compelling storyline that has the same mystery, adventure and intensity fans of the show have come to expect from the Lost brand.

"The sense of adventure and suspense that we strive for in the show is also captured in the Lost video game," said Lindelof and Cuse. "Ubisoft has done a fantastic job and come up with a game that is visually amazing and imaginative both on its own and as an extension of the world of the show."

Players will assume the role of a passenger on the ill-fated Oceanic flight 815 who survives the crash and is stranded on the uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean. As the player begins to unravel mysteries of the island, new secrets about your character are revealed. Players will have to understand their character's past mistakes in order to survive and find their way home.

The game will incorporate familiar locations and will feature main characters from the show. Gameplay will involve solving puzzles, outsmarting enemies, battling the smoke monster, and overcoming many other challenges to survive the island and ultimately come out alive.

"We're very excited to be working with Ubisoft to develop a game that captures the same surprise and intrigue as Lost," said Bruce Gersh, senior vice president, business development, ABC Entertainment and ABC Studios. "The series has such a loyal audience, and we're happy to bring fans an additional way to interact and engage with their favorite characters."

Although this is the first next-gen console game based on Lost, Gameloft has released a cell phone game and iPod game, Lost: The Mobile Game, based on the ABC show. Last summer, the show creators worked with ABC on a viral online game experience that explored an original story that connected the second and third seasons of the show. The Lost Experience did not feature actual gameplay, but rather required plenty of Web surfing, TV and DVD viewing and detective work to splice together the embedded story

EDIT: Trailer Here

And in HD Here

Thoughts?
 
Ah, not "The Lost" but a videogame based upon "Lost"... :(

It's a shame The Lost was never completed...
 
I left my impressions about the trailer hours ago in that Heroes/Lost thread. Not too shabby looking, introduces a new hatch with a DHARMA lightning bolt.

ETA: Also featured scenes in The Swan, which hints at the timeline of the game.
 
Port over the jungle from the FarCry 360 game, add some foreboding evil in the clouds, a four toed foot statue, and I'm there!
 
It seems the trailer is out, as is some info on the trailer

Trailer - http://www.3dgamers.com/games/lost/downloads/

Probably the most interesting part of the games reveal at Comic Con was when they showed a new trailer for the game , now available to download over on 3D gamers, which showcased a brand new hatch, one currently unseen in the TV show, which had the familiar Dharma logo accompanied by a lightning bolt symbol. The Lost video game will be shipping in first quarter of 2008 for the Xbox 360, the PS3 and PC. That could mean the game could possibly debut a few weeks before Season 4 begins

Not terribly informative, its just the new character in environments for the most part, checking out a machine in a cave, running through the jungle, etc. There are shots of Sawyer, Locke, and Hurley and at one point Locke is sitting at the computer in the hatch and there's a brief flash of "Find us and we will show you the way" on the screen. Looks pretty decent so far, and as a teaser its pretty good.
 
I rented the first season from Netflix, and was bored to death by the show. Hopefully the game will be better (it's happened before, I enjoy a licensed game even though I don't like the TV show/movie it's based on).

Oh man, I remember looking forward to The Lost for a long time, and was really sad when it was quietly canned. Maybe after they're done with Bioshock, Irrational will revisit the game and make it for current-gen systems.
 
Hmm, looks kinda cool. I'm a huge Lost fan, and this seems like a good use of the liscence. The graphics look a bit rough in some of those shots, though. Hopefully everything looks better when it comes out. I hope it doesn't suck too much.

Pretty much.

I wonder if this will tie in officially to the show, or if it will be something like the "alternate reality game" they did. It provided backstory but wasn't exactly canon, as far as I know.
 
Ahh I only mean it in jest! but seriously, with the series where it is - how can the game have a proper ending? he's not getting off the island and for continuity reasons I'll bet he can't end up living along side the island folk...

I'm guessing it'll be a massive cliff hanger ending leaving everyone blue balled once again.

Edit - I love Lost, and as much as I enjoy it I do find myself pulling my hair out at the amount of unanswered questions :( I'm guessing the game will be similar.
 
If anyone wonders what Locke's PC says when it flashes on the screen

"Find us

and we will show you the way

"

laaame.

As for the game, the characters look pretty bad, but I'm looking forward to it. Jungle looks nice.

Nah I think that it will end
with him going home. The game does coincides with the new series so it'll probably show all the mysteries revealed up to now and end with our character going home.

The game is supposedly using the cryteck engine which is why the jungle looks so good.
 
Games based on TV shows are worse than movie games.

im sure anyone who knows me knows I'm buying this day one. See tag.
