February 18, 2010 - According to a report from Japanese website LiveDoor.jp, and translated by IGN, game content in Capcom's upcoming alien shooter Lost Planet 2 was cut due to the limited DVD storage space for Xbox 360. 

Producer Jun Takeuchi said in an interview the team struggled trying to determine what content to cut from the game. 

"There wasn't any major trouble," Takeuchi said of the game's development. "More than that type of difficulty, there was too much content, and deciding on those areas was more difficult than anything." 

"We had so much content that we wanted to add this time, added Takeuchi. "It ended up being a battle against disc space." 

When asked if there was any content the team didn't want to cut, Takeuchi acknowledge there was, adding the team hopes to offer the content in downloadable form in the future. 

"We hope to offer those types of elements as future download content," he said.

is it because of disc space? or is capcom bsing? who the hell knows -_-

bump

That was a deal breaker for me. No way in hell I'm paying for something that should have been in the final product.

The title is misleading.

At no point in the interview does Capcom state DVD limited their disc space.

As I mentioned in the other thread, Capcom has shown they struggle with the PS3. Their coding may have been inefficient to the point that data duplication overflowed a single layer Blu-Ray.

What about the ps3 version will it be cut too?

Ha, capcom has a knack for selling you a bare bones game, then making moolah off of DL-able content. They've already been doing it, and it's near unbearable on the iPhone (they sold a bare bones ace combat for 5$, then the rest of the game you had to buy for more money)

So I would not doubt that they are BSing us.
