Capcom Announces  Lost Planet 2
Advertisement
As promised last week, Capcom has revealed a new game via an Xbox Live Marketplace teaser: a sequel to third-person shooter Lost Planet.

The download was first made available in Japan and features the same icebound world as the previous game, but follows a global warming event that will introduce new jungle and other temperate environments.

Overseen by Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi, the game will feature a heavy focus on co-operative play. The story mode will feature a number of different characters, many from rival "snow pirate" factions.

As additional gameplay details begin to emerge, it is currently unclear whether the game remains an Xbox 360 exclusive. Although Capcom has previously indicated that all its major titles, including the recently revealed Dead Rising 2, will be multiplatform, there has been no mention of a PlayStation 3 version of Lost Planet 2 thus far.

The game will use MT-FrameWork 2.0, an evolution of the same propriety graphic engine used by Capcom in its internally-developed Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4.

The first Lost Planet was great, if you were to ask I would've perfer them annoucing a newer entry into the Dino Crisis series, and I'm not talking about another disaster like Dino Crisis 3 either.

I've only played bits & pieces of Lost Planet but I did enjoy said bits & pieces. I look forward to seeing what the sequel has to offer.

As for Dino Crisis, yeah I'm gonna have to pass all around on that one.

This should be another solid product from capcom. However, if they are going heed any advice at all... Please lose the lame, early 90's arcade style menus. They tear drastically away from the immersion of most of their games. Its like playing street fighter II all over again.

Yeah thanks for the XBOX Live announcement I am sure fans have been waiting for Lost Planet 2.

Because fans have been asking and asking for it. Unlike Dead Rising 2, Power Stone sequels, and numerous other hollwo promises Capcom has made. NO, they go and make a sequal the one of the shittiest games to grace a platform. Way to go Capcom, you have proven once again that you are worth only as must as your Street Fighter Franchise which by the current addition puts you somewhere between Midway and Interplay.

I liked Dino Crisis 3!!! It was like Dino Crisis 1 + Dino Crisis 2 but still the second one is the greatest and if they develop a new entry into this franchise they should stay close to Dino Crisis 2 gameplay.

Hope Lost Planet 2 comes to ps3 as well.
