Ahhh, well mods can modify the title if they want.

I pimped this out to a buddy last night; now hes looking forward to it alot. Should be an awesome game.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Multiplayer demo out now on the 360 and tomorrow on PSN.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

I really couldn't get into the first one that much...I tried but it just didn't feel right. I just saw the 4:00 minute trailer over at Teamxbox

http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-...net-2-Trailer/

My first thought was...is this a different Lost Planet series because it sure as hell doesn't look no where like the first one. Pretty impressive with the massive enemies, different worlds and surroundings, characters look ten times better with some good customization. I'll have to read more but the fact it has co-op is enough for me to read more about it.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

What??? Tomorrow? Than what the HELL have I been playing? :lol:

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

It's set 10 years after the 1st game. The environment has changed from planet covered mostly by snow, to one covered with jungles, oceans(?) and other tropical areas.

I haven't been able to find a lot about the storyline involving four player co-op mode. I'm wondering since there are several different factions that each has it's own storyline/missions?

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

The press release made it sound as if the original demo was limited to a select few...

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

No you're right, there's a NEW Multiplayer Demo up there. I looked and the 1st Demo, which is still up, was Co-op.

Marketplace

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

So there are Two Demos, one MP and the other coop? I'm becomming a bit more interested in this and for those that played the last and demos your take especially the coop part?

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Yep 2 Demos. Co-op and Multiplayer

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Wow, I played a few matches on the Multiplayer demo and it was really cool. Not perfect, but pretty cool. Some of the new VS suits are fuckin' BRUTAL. I like that the characters can now Sprint (press B) and I'm also liking the new character designs. The sound seems to be upgraded and being able to choose where one respawns is nice.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Yea I gave this new demo a shot and it was fun. I wish I could have customized my guy though. It seemed the peeps I played with could. It felt odd not to have a way to take cover, and I didnt figure out the sprint

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Take cover? is that one of the new things?

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Played the coop last night and thought it was pretty good despite being a bit short. As far as the story/battles is it mainly against big bosses like that, against other factions, both or what? None of us really knew.

Ooooh shit!! :up:

SO many cool new things!!!

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

IGN: 6.0

"Lost Planet 2 plays like it was never put in front of a member of its intended audience at some point during its development, someone who might have asked "why?": "Why can't I pause the game unless I make my game unjoinable?" "Why can't I join a co-op game in progress?" "Why can this monster kill me in two hits?" A little "why?" may have taken this game in a different, more compelling direction. If you've burned through other multiplayer or co-op options, then there might be something for you in Lost Planet 2. The single player campaign is lengthy at around 14 hours with full co-op support and the multiplayer has plenty of maps and modes. Just do yourself a favor: buy some insurance for the controller you'll invariably throw across the room at one of Lost Planet 2's seemingly endless design and interface issues."

Joystiq:

"After spending a few hours with the game, though, you won't be thinking about its strengths. You'll be thinking about the wide range of curiously bad design choices Capcom has made. Like: Why is there almost no tutorial? Why can't co-op players join your game in the middle of a mission? Why is water traversable in some missions, but lethal in others? Why can your grappling hook only connect to some surfaces? Why is your healing ability mapped to the Start button?

Though it may seem nit-picky to highlight these flawed ideas, they converge to detract from any enjoyable experience you might have with the game. Ultimately, though, Lost Planet 2 suffers due to the developers' biggest and most befuddling conceptual misstep: They made a game about killing yacht-sized monsters while riding around in robot suits armed with lasers and rocket launchers -- and then they somehow made it boring."

I wasn't a fan of the first one and the demo was very meh. I may give it a rental though.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

youch on those reviews. Interest definitely lowered if not gone.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

Yeah those reviews aren't going to pull in anyone who was already halfass on the game/series. LP is surely an acquired taste.

Oh well, CAPCOM may have laid and egg that only the most hardcore LP fans, like myself and a few other here, will enjoy.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

I'm still waiting on more offical reviews plus want to see about Crackdown 2. And besides the last game that dazzeled me with nice trailers and footage...AVP... and we know how that turned out.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

I have a feeling even the official reviews will be lackluster. I think the LP fans will make the final decision on this. Either way, the online community for the 1st two games is still alive and I have no doubt the new game's Multiplayer will thrive. Hell, even the Multiplayer demo still has a lot of players from all over the world.

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

ouch on the reviews

Re: Lost Planet 2 - May 18 - Official Thread
 

I don't give a shit what the reviews say...I am SOOO getting this game.
