Lost Planet 2 Trailer Feat. Marcus Fenix & Dominic Santiago
The Lost Planet demos were amongst the first ever Xbox 360 demos I’ve ever tried; they served as my first single player and multiplayer experience for this generation. Since snow settings are by far my favorite, Lost Planet felt like an ideal game made for me. Then the reviews hit and convinced me to hold off for more attractive pricing.
I have yet to pick it up.
Now we have Lost Planet 2. Screenshots and video reveal a gorgeous looking game while previews say it’s a blast to play. Well, I’ve tried both demos and came away with rather mixed feelings.
Capcom’s very own Mr. Kramer, posted his company’s E3 line up for this year. It’s got some retreads like Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando (by the time E3 arrives), but it’s got a healthy dose of new spectacles such as Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2!
Here’s the list:
Dark Void (PS3, 360, PC)
Lost Planet 2 (currently 360, PC)
Dead Rising 2 (will be “behind closed doors”)
Spyborgs (Wii)
Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles (Wii)
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP)
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (digital release for PS3, 360)
Fate Unlimited Codes (digital PSP release)
Street Fighter IV (PC)
Bionic Commando (PC)
Mega Man Star Force 3 (DS)
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil (Wii)
Capcom Mystery Game #1 (playable in booth!)
Capcom Mystery Game #2 (announced at a press conference!)
What could those mystery games be? Marvel vs Capcom 3? A nice dream. Capcom vs SNK 3?! Strider remake? I do wonder…
P.S – Marvel vs Capcom 2 will be hitting PSN/XBLA on June 29, 2009.
