According to the newly released E3 trailer for Capcom’s up an coming 360 game, Lost Planet, a demo is supposed to arrive May 9th. The trailer does not specify what form that demo will take, but I’ll just go ahead and assume it’s coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace. It damn well better. I don’t know that I’m particularly excited by this game. All of the gameplay footage I have seen is too rapidly cut, so you never get a chance to really see what’s happening. It is being produced by Keiji Inafune—the man responsible for Onimusha and Mega Man. I was fond of Onimusha, though I have only played the first one. We’ll see if this is any good come May 9th.
[UPDATE] Reader thomdano clues me in to the fact that not all of you know what Lost Planet is. Here is a link to some trailers, including the one mentioned above. I thought the trailer was only available on Xbox Live Marketplace. I was wrong. Please don’t hurt me.
Lost Planet is a third person action game featuring ground combat and some rather impressive mechs. Players fight it out with other humans as well as some freaky monsters. The game’s protagonist is modelled in the likeness of Korean actor Lee Byung-Hun. The story involves the aforementioned mechs and monsters as well as “Snow Pirates,” which sounds like a sexual euphemism to me. So there you go.
so what is the game about? you didn’t leave any links to the footage.
