Maybe this will put an end to the irritating saga. But then again, we still have this sneaking suspicion that not enough PlayStation 3 owners care.

First, there was no real confirmation one way or the other concerning Lost Planet 2. Then, it was announced for the Xbox 360 with no mention of the PS3, thereby earning Capcom some jeers from the Sony crowd. Directly following this, the rumors began to spread that a PS3 version would also release, and the publisher didn't help matters by saying it was a "confusing" situation. Now, hopefully it's all over: according to GamingFront, the Official PlayStation Magazine has revealed the following:

"...Capcom has since confusingly refused to confirm on the record what Lost Planet 2 is coming out on. Whatever guy. We can tell you that it is definitely going to be released on PS3."

Okay, so can we stop this now? Or do we really have to wait until Capcom finally sends out the press release officially confirming it? We do understand the publisher's reluctance on this matter; while Lost Planet: Extreme Condition was a popular title on the Xbox 360, it didn't fare quite so well when it released a lot later on the PS3. From a purely business standpoint, we can indeed comprehend the conundrum, but at the same time, we'd just point to the increasing PS3 user base (nearing 23 million now) and go, "uh...what's the problem?"

Didn't OPM say FF13 was PS3 exclusive?

Personally, I'd wait for the publisher to confirm it one way or the other before putting stock in a game mag's rumors.

Doesn't seem like confirmation...

We should know by E3 anyway.

Capcom plans to release a demo of Lost Planet 2 for the Xbox 360 around the time of E3, Jun Takeuchi said. He also hinted at a future for the title on other platforms.

While demonstrating Lost Planet 2 to the gathered writers last week, Takeuchi pointed out it was playing on PC, not Xbox 360. When asked about whether we could expect a PC version of the game he was a little coy.

"It is running off a PC now, so there may be something we can announce fairly shortly," he said.

And what about the rumored Playstation 3 version?

"We are concentrating right now on the 360 version of this game," he said. "However, we would not say that the possibility of a Playstation 3 version of the game is zero, we are just very busy developing the 360 version right now."

Lost Planet 2 will feature four player coop, competitive multiplayer with up to 16 people and is played on an Eden 3 that has begin to thaw. Stay tuned for a much more detailed story on what to expect from the game a bit later today.

Well, I'm part of that "Sony crowd", and I couldn't care less about this game either,... Screw it!, I hope it bombs! It's just the sequel of a lame and disappointing port. Instead, I'm going 2 support real good quality PS3 exclusive games like Heavy Rain and GOW3.

P.S. Same goes to Dead Rising 2. >=P

Yay....?
