Lost Planet Colonies has new first-person mode

by Ross Miller { Mar 20th 2008 at 10:30PM }

If you're still looking for reasons to (re)purchase Lost Planet: Colonies, IGN has outlined four new single player modes for the game. One of those in particular raised an eyebrow: a first-person mode that you can toggle via the menu screen. Curious how the traditionally third-person Lost Planet would look as a FPS? Check out the video above.

Other bonus modes include the self-explanatory Score Attack, a gauntlet of boss fights in Trial Battle Mode and Off Limit Mode, which lets you replay levels at a much greater speed with unlimited ammo. We've embedded a video of Off Limit after the break. Lost Planet: Colonies is coming May 27 on PC and Xbox 360 (still no PS3 confirmation) for $30.

That's not very elaborate is it? It's like Half-Life where you have just a camera and a floating gun, with no body, or even hands.

There's not even a gun! It's like a floating muzzle flare.

I guess you haven't played the original Ghost Recon, SOCOM, the original Rainbow Six...

I think he's using Half-Life as a term for FPS.

"That's not very elaborate is it? It's like a FPS where you have just a camera..." Sound better?

Ummm... In the original Lost Planet you could hit up on the D-Pad and get into first person mode just like in this video...

I thought it was going to be like a real FPS with gun and hands in the frame.

I'm not really digging Lost Planet as a FPS...

"... Off Limit Mode, which lets you replay levels at a much greater speed..."

So, does that mean Wayne will move at a normal speed now - as opposed to his tank-link movements in the original?

EDIT:

Actually watched the video and everything actually looks like it's been sped up - enemies included.

Sorry to post off-topic guys, but this is probably as good a place as any...

What's up with the Frontline ad on Joystiq.com? It's loud and annoying for those of use trying to check this site (several times) daily while at work. the last thing I need is everyone in the office realizing that I'm not being productive.

Does any else share the sentiment of "make it go away please"?
