It appears Capcom had a little trouble this morning, with a legitimate-looking CGI trailer for Lost Planet 3 that leaked onto YouTube. The publisher quickly pulled any evidence, but not before some astute gaming fan downloaded the video and threw it up himself.
I can't say a sequel is necessarily surprising given the series' incompleteness, but reviews for Lost Planet 2 were almost universally negative. Putting an emphasis on co-op is usually a high point, yet Capcom, according to reviewers, focused too much and neglected single-player. Also cited were inconsistent difficulty drops and spikes that sometimes made the game unmanageable.
Will co-op make its way back? By the trailer only one man is seen taking down a few enemies, and no gameplay is shown. But I'm excited to see what is done for a third installment.
The trailer is below:

I saw this - interesting post. My son really likes Lost Planet 1 on the 360, and plans to get #2 for the PS3 eventually (he played the heck uot of the demo). I haven't played either much, but know that they haven't been terribly well-received, but they seem like interesting ideas.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know who asked for Lost Planet 2, and now they're coming out with a third one?
