LOST video game confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC

Maybe flackbacks will be more entertaining if you can play them.

Usually, a PS2 or PSP version is developed then ported to the Wii...hence, no Wii version.

Sounds great. We get to play a game that answers questions by either ignoring them or by asking other questions.

c'mon guys, it may be a great show but why make a game? Why must you shame thy selves with another TV/movie game.. Oh wait.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

yay! another game that will end like Halo 2! wahoo!


... yeeeeahh. that sounds like fun

Either it will stick with the license and only answer or raise or assume knowledge of questions in the show, or it will stray far enough away that it won't be considered canon so any of their answers will be negated.

its CUSE, dumbass. not cruse.

A little late. The viewership of Lost has substantially decreased this season.

your kidding me right?
you mean last year when they ANNOUNCED the LOST video game will be released, that wasn't enough confirmation??

they have games for any tv shows, even shit ones.. i mean Dark Angel.. **cough**

Lost is a great show though, don't know how the game will work though

I'm surprised no Wii version has been announced, given Ubisoft's strong support of the system and the obvious benefit the Wii would provide with point-and-click control. I'd love a LOST game similar to MYST!

LOST is easily my favorite show on tv now, and I feel sorry for viewers that have left. This season has given us quite a few answers and more are coming (I browse spoilers every once in a while).

No Wii support tells me it's probably a shooter or an FPS, hehehhee. J/K but it's probably true unfortunatly.

Hardcore LOST fan here. I see its game going the way of all the Star Trek video games. (i.e. CRAP)

Hopefully the PC version will require you to type the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 every 108 minutes. That's what I look for in a game!

I guess Ubisoft decided that it already has enough turds in the (sewer)pipeline for Wii. Maybe they decided it was time to stick up other platforms with their substandard games.

Hopefully it is a cool puzzle/action game. Ubisoft Montreal has put out some solid stuff...gives me a little hope

Nikki and Paulo are the only playable characters.

The way they talk the game will be similar to the ARGs in that they will follow the same basic storylines but not interfere with the show's story. I don't think you'll play any main characters on the show, though you will probably interact with them.

BTW, yeah we first heard about this almost a year ago:

cool I was just watching it for the first time (dont flame) and its really good hope the game is

Hopefully the game will have a plot, unlike the now VERY tired and stretched thin show.

Joe, when was the last time you watched the show? Everyone's entitled to his opinion, but I think Lost is easily the most well written show on television. Fantastic plot with so many twists and turns that you can't believe it was planned from the beginning of the pilot episode.

Alexander, you are in for a treat man. The only problem with watching past seasons on DVD is you get spoiled being able to watch several episodes in a row!

I want to play as Rose and Bernard...

"Joe, when was the last time you watched the show? Everyone's entitled to his opinion, but I think Lost is easily the most well written show on television. Fantastic plot with so many twists and turns that you can't believe it was planned from the beginning of the pilot episode."

I disagree with this. The show seems haphazardly written, and the plot seems to be made up as they go along, and a lot of times, they don't even seem to know which direction they want to go, and they abandon some plot devices, or simply just try and act deep by not telling you the answers to things for a very long time (if ever).
A show like Lost shouldn't be as long as it has been.

...and also, the overuse of flashbacks is an annoying plot device.

For real Joe, what gives? How is lost tired or streched thin? have you been watching lately?

Hopefully it's better than the table top version http://www.pvponline.com/article/3257/wed-apr-11

Sweet a game with no ending, EVER!

I thought it was lost planet for ps3

hahaha, Eliot, that's an awesome comic. I bought the boardgame for my family and we made it about half way through before it went into the closet, never to see the light of day again. The game's worse than Monopoly.

I think Lost has been great this season. They haven't done a major back tracking like they did last season. They still use the flashbacks, but I find those to be very well done and very good for character development. I also can't think of any plot devices they have dropped. They certainly always have a lot of questions that need to be answered, but nothing that I can think of has been abandoned.

And this season has been very good about explaining things. I think they knew after the complaints about the back tracking slow story line last season that they had to move things faster this season... and so far they have.

Hopefully the design of the game won't be like the show: making it up as they go and hoping it all works out by the end.

UbiSoft also has the rights to CryEngine, so it'll probably look nice, if nothing else.

"I disagree with this.

I think you need to look up the terms "macguffin" and "red herring". LOST makes intentional (and frequent) use of both. But if you trace the plot backwards, most everything falls logically into place.

As for the answers, I mean, have you watched at all lately? LOST doesn't always beat you over the head with answers; it's usually a lot more subtle than that, and it's up to you to connect the dots. The answers to *most* of the questions in the show have already been given. In fact, I'm a little disappointed in this season because too much has been given away; I can't quite see how they're going to stretch it out for one more season. Sometimes I'm not even sure how they're going to make it to the end of this one without giving away the farm.

JJ Abrams said at the beginning of the series that a) they have the basic plot completely mapped out already, and b) everything has a worldly explanation. So far, that's been the case - the answers to everything provided so far have been purely physical. He also said they've left room to go in different directions if they feel certain things happening with the characters, and they've done that too. But the basic plot was set a long time ago. I remember his answer when the NY Times asked him what happens at the end, and he said "they get off the island. If it is an island." Uh oh!

I do agree that seasons 2 and 3 have been uneven and have had some filler episodes. But the last few eps. (since they finally killed Ken and Barbie) have been first season quality. Really top notch stuff. Even the "bad" LOST episodes are still better than 95% of everything else on TV, though. It's just on a whole other level of quality vs. everything else out there.

I don't have any idea how they're going to make a game out of it, though.

I feel sorry for anyone that stopped watching LOST early this season back in 06. This year it has been a KNOCKOUT. The last string of episodes have restored this show to greatness, even equaling the amazing HEROES. When this show is on its game it is arguably the most enthralling show to watch. Like the last poster said, even the filler episodes have been high quality. I loved the episode when they buried those two...a turn of events that would have made Rod Sterling tip his hat. The episodes have been explaining a lot lately as well, and the last episode was so mind-blowing it tied shit together back from seasons 1 and 2. JJ Abrams made it clear with this episode that he does have an end game in mind, and that the show is not just spinning its wheels. The show also has the best use of musical score on television. There is no show since X-Files that uses music to such dramatic effect. The show deserves the loss in viewership it got from so much fluff early this season and parts of last, however this show is back with a vengeance. If you are not watching, you are seriously missing out on GREAT television.

Great post, Jeff. As far as having material for Season 4 and (possibly) Season 5 - which is where the writers/producers of the show want to stop - we don't know what new plotlines are going to be brought in before the end of this season. Word is there is a HUGE gamechanger coming up, something that's going to set up the whole story arc for next season, just like Season 1 and Season 2 led us into the following storylines.

Season 1: the island
Season 2: the hatch
Season 3: the others
Season 4: ?

"c'mon guys, it may be a great show but why make a game?"

Heck, they made more than games. There was that DHARMA website, the Bad Twin novel. I'd accept a Lost game only if it stuck to the same unique tie-ins like the aforementioned things. But if it's a straight crapjob like the lameassed CSI games...forget about it.

they should make it a sandbox game with downloadable content that is added as the show progresses.

it would be cool to explore the island freely.

This game would be perfect for the Wii!

im great everyone loves to hear me speak...

I love the show, but like so many others here, don't see any way for this game to be good.

Oh... I think:

CRYSIS GRAPHIC ENGINE + LOST = GREAT GAME...

However.. I hope for the best...

P.S for VidGuy

Season 1: the island
Season 2: the hatch
Season 3: the others
Season 4: THE END XD

That was a funny comic! Not that I know anything about tabletop games.

Anyway, if this version sells well I think they'll do an exclusive Wii version afterward.

for those of you who dont watch lost, or have stopped watching it for some strange reason, YOU SUCK, anyone who complains about lost because it had an average episode needs to get there head checked, lost is the best damn thing that has ever been shown on tv, and by a long way. i understand that when you try to make a game from a tv show or movie it ussualy sucks, but after all, this is lost.

also chronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay was a quality game, one of my favourites, i would recommend this game to any gamer. if lost could pull something like this of it could possibly be the best damn game that ever excisted, it would acctualy bend over halo3 and GOW and poo on there heads.

when lost ends i will probally cry :'(

allriggghht !!!

so whats known about the game, is it a puzzel game and what else do you do. i would be fun if it was a first person shooter - i'm asking becauswe i can see the video because my computer only shows text and i can see pictures or video, only text.

tell me what you do in this game and how do you get pas that guy in the hatch who shoots at you with his AK-47.

help me, i cant get past him and how do tyou get to the other side as that sould beam thing keeps killing me.

Why the heck wouldn't they have it for the Wii? That's gonna hurt their profits. If they don't decide to make it for the Wii, I'll probably buy the PC version.

Lost is the best tv show and has a very complex script,unlike most of the crap on tele.All of you guys who think that the script is weak or think it is crap are a bunch of idiots,who dont like to think and figgure things out but just like watching mindless crap.I'm not sure whether the game will work or not tho.
