Lost Planet 2

I can't believe we didn't have a post on this game. Here are some videos of the game that I think you guys will like and from what I know I believe the whole campaign can be played in 4 player co-op online, atleast the demo level was 4 player co-op. Also it's a 3rd person shooter.

The next one is actual demo gameplay footage. It can be downloaded on PSN and Xbox live for everyone to play and can be played in 4 player co-op online.

The demo was a lot of fun to play, my brother and i played several games online, The graphics look great and the controls were very nice. There's a good chance i will be picking this one up

Didnt know you were a fan Cajun, I am all over Capcom..............I have had this game reserved for months now...........Unfortunately I will be picking it up for the 360, so no playing with my PS3 buddies. But you are correct.It is four player co-op and the 360 Multiplayer version will feature Marcus Fenix, and Dom

Capcom was/is offering early codes to play the multi-player demo a month early but seems the site has problems. Here it is hope others have better luck than I did, for some reason the page you need to get to won't load up for me.

Well I finally got my code for early access to the online multi-player demo, a month early. Now just have to wait until tomorrow to use it on the PS3. Xbox360 people get to use and play it today. Come on people just go set up a simple account with Capcom at http://www.capcom-unity.com/signup1/ then go to http://www.lostplanetcommunity.com/?jump=engage and pick your platform to get a code.

ok ok, i did it, are you happy Cajun?

lol i was a little confused at first because there was already a demo for this game a while ago, but now i see that while the previous demo was for co-op, this seems to be a versus demo. And now that i have finally gotten around to making a capcom unity profile, maybe i can message John D and ask him why i still have yet to receive my prize for winning on of his playstation blog comment contests back in early February :x

another thing, why do you have to put your shirt size in when registering? that's a first for me...

Yea I thought that was a bit strange also and I have no idea why you had to do that.

i'm very surprised to see that this demo is only 368Mb to download, which is surprising for a demo of this class. Normally they are well over a gig, sometimes 2 or 3 for really big ones. Hopefully this will be done soon and i report back here on if it is awesome or not and how many USMG points it is worthy of lol

got a chance to play a few rounds now and i still have no idea what the hell is going on. I didn't remember the controls feeling so awkward in the co-op demo. You cant customize controls unless you are in a game so you're going to be standing there getting killed over and over while you try to figure out what the buttons are and what the different setups are. O is melee/dash, by default. Why did they choose this set up for the default scheme? You have to take your thumb off the right stick in order to hold down the dash button so basically, unless you use a claw method, you can only dash in straight lines. Also, crouch is set to L3, and you have to hold it fully down to continue crouching. So if you are crouching, you pretty much are not going to be moving. I'm managed to use the grappling hook to grab a few surfaces, and it has auto deployed a few times when i fell off a ledge but then getting it to let go is another story. I always end up going right back up. So i am being chased by an enemy (walking of course since running is so awkward to try and maneuver) see a small ledge, jump off, and then my hook auto grabs and throws me right back up there into the enemy fire again :x

These controls are going to take some getting used to and i'm just going to have to sit there getting killed for a match or two while i decide which control scheme is the least awkward for me. It's got potential, I just need some more time with it first i think

I tend to not do so well, or enjoy, 3rd person shooters as much as FPS

I am loving It, this game rocks. If you need any assistance feel free to call on Rook, I am here to help you kill........lol

Looks like some reviews for this game is coming in and they're not looking good. Mostly average ones the worst one I've seen was from IGN and it was a 6/10.

Those Reviews blow, I have it for 360, finally put some time on it and the co-op rocks....The Monsters are definitely the star of this show..........and the Show is good.
