TGS 2009: Watch four minutes of Lost Planet 2

by Ben Gilbert { Sep 24th 2009 at 4:00AM }

If there was ever any doubt in your mind that the enemies in upcoming third person ~~planet finder~~ shooter Lost Planet 2 are on the plus-size of things, the flood of assets coming out of the Tokyo Game Show should assure you of their huge-itude. Though we're only treated to a few scant glimpses in the trailer above, some of the beasts on display in the screens Capcom released are large-building-sized. The kind of big where you get that falling feeling in your stomach just from looking at them. Add to that the whole ongoing war thing and we're pretty glad to not be living on Capcom's now tropical planet.

Do want.

Did you try the demo?

Just asking because I did and it totally turned me off to this one.

The first one was decent, but with all of the games that came after, I didn't feel that there was enough improved upon to even justify a rental what with all the other GREAT games on the horizon.

The first one was hindered by a very confusing storyline, but then again, it was an Eastern game and something always gets lost in translation.

Ok thats the cuts scenes, But no gameplay. Wonder why ;)

If you have played the first one, then you know what the gameplay is like. Try out the demo.

Ok I just played a few minutes of the demo and WOW what a really bad game, mind you i have been playing the uncharted 2 beta for the last few days. Its like this game took back to the PS2 days, Delete demo now(press).

I'd like some multiplayer info, hopefully that comes from TGS. I love the first LP (favorite console MP game of all time!), but the demo for 2 really turned me off to the single player changes. Confirmation on a return-to-form fugitive mode and the inclusion of point snatcher would make my day.

I see there's a train level.

Meghterb @ Sep 24th 2009 5:28AM

Looks much better than the original game.

Jesus (PSN: Luttdawg) @ Sep 24th 2009 5:14AM

It's probably the best looking multiplat title I've seen (the gameplay vids). Cut scenes look awesome too. If it comes close to the level of polish U2 has I will be impressed.

Kleptomaniac @ Sep 24th 2009 8:21AM

I'm pretty sure most of the gameplay videos were the PC version. Even this video is unlikely to be the console version.

AlpahGeeeK @ Sep 24th 2009 5:18AM

I didn't really get in to LP1 and I know this is only the cut scenes, but this sure does look pretty sweet.

JNub @ Sep 24th 2009 6:45AM

dont forget the inclusion of jungle pirates arrhh i repeat JUNGLE PIRATES AAArrhh

MowDownJoe @ Sep 24th 2009 8:25AM

Because every game could use more pirates!

PuBeLeSs @ Sep 24th 2009 9:12AM

not a fan of 3rd person shooters :-/ the demo should be out on ps3 soon, so hopefully i can get a taste of it. but that alone might be a deal breaker. 3rd person just isnt as "intense"

ShadowOp @ Sep 25th 2009 2:00AM

have you played dead space, pretty intense...

I wasn't too big on third person too, until i played dead space and then I realized that it's the content not the perspective that really gets the people into something...

now whether lost planet can bring it is something that is left to be decided...

also...

I loved the first game, Day 1 purchase for me.

Durden @ Sep 24th 2009 11:04AM

I liked the first one but really hated the controls.

tsendspam @ Sep 24th 2009 11:54AM

What!!!!!!!! New footage. Its about time they show something new right. Tired of that demo slug.

I DeX I @ Sep 24th 2009 12:06PM

Where the hell does Capcom get off using decent voice acting?!!! I kid, i kid.

DazzleFTW @ Sep 24th 2009 12:42PM

Anyone recognize that guys voice after their Train stopped in the desert? He sounds like a voice I heard in an anime. Oh yea, he sounds like whats his face from Ergo Proxy.

I see aliens have copied our rail road system again.
