Nozzinja @ Jun 16th 2009 7:18PM

Digidy DAMN! thats fan-flippingtastic!
damn i should lay off the sugar...

doug @ Jun 16th 2009 7:24PM

i dont remember caring about lost planet 1, why does the sequel seem to have all this hype

Hyams @ Jun 16th 2009 7:26PM

Pretty graphics + what seems to be improved game play.

It also got some initial hype because it was a 360 exclusive for a while, and so got the usual hype all exclusives get.

Sly697 @ Jun 16th 2009 7:47PM

It was only rumored to be a timed exclusive for the 360 at first but that wasn't the case.

Never played the first lost planet but this deff peaked my interest...cant wait to see more...

Now i just have to find 3 friends -_-

Heh @ Jun 16th 2009 9:06PM

I loved lost planet. I just wished the achievements weren't so damn hard and the game had better multiplayer.

Now with co-op, improved gameplay, and possible multiplayer tweaks this game is looking to be at least a rental for me, if not a buy once it drops a bit in price ($40).

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jun 16th 2009 7:28PM

the 4 player co-op kinda reminds me of project eden

lmao.

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jun 16th 2009 7:33PM

did he say hold down the start button to use your harmoniser? is this for co-op only? i guess so because you probably cant pause it anyway

DeepFriedSushi @ Jun 16th 2009 9:55PM

maybe he mis-spoke, look at the ingame footage notice the LT+Y for t-gen.

Anticrawl @ Jun 16th 2009 7:37PM

Looks like a great title to keep me warm and inside during the cold of winter.

Foetoid @ Jun 16th 2009 8:10PM

Good work on reusing old enemies Capcom:

Just change the body colour and get rid of those feeler things and bam, same enemy from that screenshot.

PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ Jun 16th 2009 8:43PM

uhh no?

Foetoid @ Jun 16th 2009 8:50PM

Ones a big fat white lookin toad, with crystals on its back, one is a very similar body shape, black in colour, more crystals on it's back. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Heh @ Jun 16th 2009 9:12PM

Do you do anything other than complain? You're about as stale as can be.

DeepFriedSushi @ Jun 16th 2009 10:00PM

salamander =/= toad dumbass.

Foetoid @ Jun 16th 2009 10:35PM

Damn i just said they look very similar, i noticed it immediatly. You guys need to chill.

BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Jun 17th 2009 8:28AM

it's the way you said it, not what you said. you said it as if everyone was going to agree and find your post comical, but alas, they did not agree and it was not comical.

DeepFriedSushi @ Jun 16th 2009 10:02PM

salamander =/= toad stupid.

Alistair Azimuth PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Jun 16th 2009 11:19PM

The original Lost Planet was exceptional. Thats saying a lot because it was released around the time I was knee deep in the original Gears Of War. The multiplayer kind of sucked but the campaign was pure win. Still one of my favorite 360 games. I never played the PS3 version but I heard it had Mega Man. Never played LP COlonis for that matter but I'm sure it wasn't all that different. Just remembered I had the limited edition in the sweet metal tin as well o_O

Levi @ Jun 16th 2009 11:30PM

dear video game industry: STOP MAKING MANDATORY CO-OP!! I DON'T CARE!!

But the rest of the world does I guess, so here come the down votes :/

FlamingEffigy @ Jun 17th 2009 1:20AM

How many games really have mandatory co op? The only one i can really think of is Left 4 Dead, which isn't even mandatory, just necessary if you want to have fun playing it.

It's not exactly like there is a dearth of singleplayer games right now. Also they didn't even say this has to be played in co op, it could very easily be played alone too for all you know.

Alistair Azimuth PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Jun 17th 2009 6:51AM

It's good to have a full suite of options. Ideally, a game should have robust single, competitive and cooperative games modes.

Teph @ Jun 17th 2009 11:07AM

Yeah, sorry Levi. You seem like a great guy... but I'm shocked at this comment.

co-op infinitely increases the value of games for my and my friends. We don't like playing against each other... we like working together. So when we want to have fun in MP, we always group together and have a blast. But when we don't feel like dealing with asshats... we go co-op.

I can't think of any game that was worse for having co-op. Like others said, choices choices choices... that's a win for everyone.

Levi @ Jun 17th 2009 11:21AM

by mandatory, I mean playing with other people or having a computer controlled teammate that is supposed to act like a player. It's one thing when they can die, but another when you lose the mission if they die. I don't mind dudes running around me in games helping me out if they can die, but it bothered me BIGTIME in RE5, and I certainly didn't have any more fun playing with another human. It didn't bother me in HL2:Ep.1&2, probably because what's her face had a zillion hit points.

My thing about co-op is that I never found it any more fun than single player. My friend was Halo crazy, so we used to play co-op, and he was totally into it - but I never found it any more fun than playing the game by myself. If the co-op experience offers something different than the single player experience, then cool, but not this generation. Usually, it's either a single player experience with other people thrown in to the mix, or a multiplayer experience with annoying AI for when you don't have a friend available to play with you.

I know it's an unpopular view, but I just don't get the co-op craze.

pkilla @ Jun 18th 2009 2:38PM

I agree Levi,

I'm fine with co-op but I hate it when the game suffers in single player mode. Like you said it sucks playing single player with computer controlled co-op like having bad co-op A.I. or stupid 'game ends if co-op player dies rules' or even game is too difficult to play by yourself meaning you 'must' have a another human to win.

Some cases where playing an 'intended' m-player game as a single player:
1) When no ones on line where you are on the campaign.
2) You want to play a quick game in the middle of the night but cant find anyone (similar to #1)
3) You brought a used copy a year after the release and no one is online to play with.
