Forums - Microsoft - Lost Planet 2 Demo impressions

In case you guys forgot, Lost Planet 2 demo hit xbox live today for gold members only.

It was hard putting shadow complex aside but I managed to check out the 10 minute coop demo of lost planet 2. All I can say is this game is going to be epic. Demo has you fighting the giant creature that we saw in multiple vids (alone or coop) and already there are indications that Capcom is going for big things here.

There are so many little power ups and weapons to use that I still am confused slighly about what some of them do. The movement is great, 90 degree turns help with that. Aiming is also very good. Grapple mechanism could use some tweaking though...hope they make it more accurate by the final version.

Controlling mechs was a huge part of lost planet 1 and this one is no different. I would not have beat the demo had i not used the mechs available.

All in all, check it out. I think Lost Planet 1 fans will feel right at home with this game. Resident Evil 5 and Gears 2 fans may also appreciate the coop aspect.

The game ran smoothly, I didn't notice any important framedrops. In other words, Capcom perfected their engine since Lost Planet. I am currently satisfied about the package (music, menus, graphics, etc.). I didn't find the option to change your crosshair to move with the camera though.

I didn't play online, just single player, and the AI didn't spawn back for some reason. I don't know if I was doing something wrong...



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Yeah, I played wit a buddy and AI was gone in 2 mins and didn't respawn.

I don't think this is the Lost Planet 1 engine. I believe the producer said its using RE5 engine...which may be an evolved version of lost planet 1 engine.

Visuals are great. Who would have thought that capcom would be such a visual powerhouse this gen?



Looked great! Played great!



Ooh I'm gonna have to give this a try!



The poo! There was so much!



Former something....
