MTV's Stephen Totilo sits down with Lost: Via Domus

by Griffin McElroy { Jan 20th 2008 at 12:00PM }

It's been nearly eight months since the last new episode of "Lost" aired. Eight months to whip up conspiracy theories, play some alternate reality games, and go to "Lost" fan conventions in full Hurley cosplay regalia. Now that we're within two weeks of the season four premiere, MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo has the scoop on Ubisoft's Lost: Via Domus to slake the last bit of our eight month thirst for tropical island mysteries.

We already knew you were going to be playing as a new character to the series, an amnesiatic photojournalist named ~~Frank West~~ Elliott. However, we weren't quite sure of the level of interactivity you would have with the show's plotline and characters (many of whom are voiced by the actors who play them on the show). After Totilo's brief time with the game, he assures his readers that there will be many opportunities to view actual events from the show from a different angle, like the initial plane crash, or the untimely detonation of Arzt (we hope).

If being chased around an island by sentient clouds of smoke is your idea of a good time, Lost: Via Domus drops on Feb. 26 for the PC, PS3, and 360. If not, be patient. We're sure they'll make a video game adaptation of "Sex and the City" soon enough.

Despite this being a TV show game, I hold out a small hope that it might actually be decent. Am I fool?

The show was on the verge of cancellation, I doubt the games going to fly off shelves...

LOST has been a huge part of ABC's rebirth, and one of its most critically acclaimed series. The show's been liocked up for it's final 3 seasons, and at no point was in jeopardy of being cancelled.

Go back to being spoon-fed your braindead Heroes...

Wow, the level of nerd rage in the world never ceases to amaze me. Grab some popcorn guys, this is going to be a classic brawler of TV shit vs. TV shit.

Quick take your nerd pills and chill out, the rating have gone down each season. So J.J Abrams gets 3 more seasons to explain this lame ass series have fun watching...

But do you really believe the game is going to sell big?

Because it's oh-so-cool to insert a Penny Arcade reference, which jumped the shark long ago.

Trickob @ Jan 20th 2008 4:22PM

you're just jealous that I beat you to it ;)

*alternate response*

because its oh-so-cool to rag on something thats really popular and still relevant after so many years just so you look "hip"

Burger you could learn alot from Trickob's avatar.

I'm lost :(

ThornedVenom @ Jan 20th 2008 6:34PM

Seeing that I've never followed the series before, and that I have no interest whatsoever in this game.

I declare this game to be a fanservice fiesta, nothing more.

"the untimely detonation of Arzt"

Is there such a thing as a timely detonation?

Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jan 21st 2008 3:08AM

...well if you do it yourself, then yes.

Joe @ Jan 21st 2008 5:09AM

Did I ask for logical interpretations? DID I?!?!

RMF @ Jan 21st 2008 6:05AM

It worries me that this game is so close to release, yet there are no screenshots of the game to be found.

Does anyone know if there are any out there?
