This Lost Planet 2 Gameplay Trailer is Stunning

It might not have Marcus and Dom in it, but this Lost Planet 2 [http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Planet-2-Xbox-360/dp/B002DC8GEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278971504&sr=1-1] trailer with nearly three minutes of gameplay footage does a damn good job at selling this game.

[g4tv=44622]

The first Lost Planet really slipped under my radar, unfortunately - from what I heard, I missed a decent if not outstanding game; a good experience but nothing worth stressing out over.

If all of the Lost Planet 2 trailers make the game look this good, though? Well, I know for certain that I probably won't want to miss round two. The first minute or so is made up entirely of cutscenes - cutscenes using the in-game engine, yes, but cutscenes nonetheless - so it doesn't really get interesting until you hit that minute mark and it shifts to all gameplay footage, all the time.

The environments look cool, with standard brown-and-gray mixed in with some lush greenery and bleak snowfields. The third-person action looks cool. The monsters look cooler. It's like a big, sci-fi version of Capcom's other "Kill giant monsters game," Monster Hunter - only this one might actually sell more then ten copies in the States.

This is how you do a trailer, kids. Nice one, Capcom.

Couldn't see the vid here, so I looked it up on youtube. It looks pretty awesome [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6xwbZmYYTE].

The first gameplay footage all those months ago had me sold, what with the online co-op and people abseiling around on giant glowey monsters.

Now it's more sold, I pray and hope Capcom doesn't announce some crazy DRM system for it, that would ruin my gaming year...

I don't know. There's one for 360 and PS3. They are both online or offline, but the PS3 demo is apparently longer.

I'll have to check that out when I get home.

Wait... will this come out for PC at all? Must Wiki this.

EDIT: Yes, it will come out for all three platforms.
EDIT 2: No demo on Steam. Damn.

Interesting trailer. However, unless this significantly improves on the original, I wouldn't pay a third of this game's retail. The first game bored me to tears.

PC version on the same day as consoles apparently.
Yup, that's actually pretty weird. I expected it to take quite a while (à la Extreme Condition or Mass Effect).

Yes, everything in order now. Thanks.

I think we just found a SoTC challenger for the "biggest enemies in a game" award.

I really need to re-download and try that demo out again sometime, I do want to like this game.

Damn when does this come out? I loved the first game despite all of it's flaws and it looks like Lost Planet 2 fixes everything I didn't like in the first, and ramps everything else up to 11. Definite buy for me.

Holy shit, that was friggin bad ass!

I enjoyed the first Lost Planet (I never beat it because of one retardly hard level if memory serves) and I look forward to this one.

I remember blowing that fucking moth out of the sky though. And fleeing for my life from that worm. I swear I saw it in there. Fun times

I can see how Marcus and Dom would fit right in. Great trailer! I think I may have to invest.
Although I wish people would stop using the word "epic".

This is coming for PS3? I thought the Lost Planet name was for 360 only, at least the first one was....hm, what a funny world we live in

OT: Not too sure about that trailer though, all I was thinking through it was a weird parody game entitled "Gears of War: Devil May Cry Warfare (2)", but thats probably just me

Lost Planet was not a 360 exclusive. I owned it for PS3 myself.
