Lost Planet 2 no quick 'n' dirty sequel, says Capcom

We could have easily gone for a more vulgar headline! Here's what Christian Svensson, Capcom's vice president of business development and strategic planning, actually said about the upcoming
co-op shooter,
Lost Planet 2: "Takeuchi's approach was, you know what we're not going to sit back on our laurels and just shit out a sequel, we're actually going to take it up five notches. We're not going to under invest in this, we're actually going to over invest in this, and we're going to build it bigger."
Speaking to
VideoGamer.com, Svensson relayed
Lost Planet 2 (and
Resident Evil 5) producer Jun Takeuchi's overall vision as being one that keeps all of the original's best qualities
in, while dismissing the lax ambitions of lazy sequel design. You might even catch a whiff of 2007's critically acclaimed
Call of Duty 4, which Svensson says was a big hit among the
Lost Planet team. "So I think you're going to see some influence from that sneaking in."
So, to sum all this crap up:
Lost Planet 2 is promised to be
the shit, but won't be
shit out.
