Capcom hints at PS3 version of Lost Planet 2

During Capcom's Captivate 09 press event, producer Jun Takeuchi stated that Lost Planet 2 could eventually come to the PlayStation 3.

"We are concentrating right now on the 360 version of this game," Takeuchi 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."

It would be surprising if Lost Planet 2 never made an appearance on the PS3, as the first Lost Planet was later ported after a year of exclusivity on the Xbox 360.

Lost Planet 2 will feature overhauled graphics, four-player co-op, bigger bosses, and 16-player competitive multiplayer.

    Yay another full priced year old port coming to the PS3.

    why on earth.... is capcom, a japanese-based company, developing only for the 360 on a game that would actually have mass-appeal in Japan?

    Multiplatform, I understand, but seriously? 360 only right now?

    I mean, I never beat the first one because it just lost its appeal so it's no skin off my back, but still, what is capcom thinking?

    Microsoft has even crappier first-party development now so they need to carry on paying third-parties for timed exclusives. The more sales Capcom's losing out on, the more Microsoft's having to pay.

    if Capcom ( :( ) didnt relase it at day one with the Xbox 360 version . i will not buy it no matter how good the game is .. just like Lost Planet 1 ...

    but ? cant capcom see how many PS3 are there in japan compared to Xbox 360 ... and they still makeing exclusive or  time-exclusive games for the X-360 like those idiots in Square-Enix !!!#$#!#  .... dont they have a Financil Advisor in their company???!!!!

    The first one sucked, this game will probably be no different. Plus, the only "Year after 360" port that was any good was Bioshock. >_>

    Well if u would post on the right website.....

    Anyways..... Nevermind that psu fans.

     

    I know we will get the game further down the road with free stuff again, so I can wait til then.

    Capcom seems like it's failing business wise. Only game that they deliever that's consider good is RE5 and SF4. But using such big title I'm still not satisfies by their sale number.

    and now they're going for ONLY Xbox360. What are they thinking? it's a Japanese founded company so first they should aim at their homeland people; and does their homeland people own a lot of xbox360? NO.

    even outside EXCEPT USA not even NA just USA is the place where there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners so ... I just don't understand... just make it multi not some year after crap when everything is outdated and trying to sell it at full price that's just BS.

    Dont worry guys, its a "microsoft have the beta version" ordeal again

  11. Alpha2

    • 1:58am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    The problenm is this current mentality that they have to develop games that are more "worldly" and dont only appeal to the japanese. So even if they're a japanese company they develop on the 36* because they think that's what the World wants.

  12. Sonan

    • 2:24am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    I bought the first one on an impulse because I liked the 360 demo I had played months beforehand. Boy was I disappointed. I didn't even get halfway before I sold it.

  13. Daz2399

    • 3:20am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    Capcom games suck. Lost Planet was another one that was complete garbage. I hope they dont release it on the Ps3.

  14. Skyesapaart

    • 3:23am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    Come on guys, microsoft has to show something at E3 probably lol, probably buying up a few multiplats so they have something to show with rest sequels like fable 3. Personally i think any company that says there multiplat but only release games for one console are retarded and are doing it purely for a big fat cheque, Yes Wada im looking at you to. My solution is, if you want to be big in the west, shutdown offices in japan, move to the west, and make a fps. Otherwise wake up and realise your heritage and go back to making quality games.

    Multiplatform, or not. I don't see most of PlayStation 3 fanbase concerned over the Lost Planet franchise.

     

    I for one, aren't. Because I have more interesting games to play. Be it exclusive to the system, or multiplatform.

    seriously... we, as consumers and ps3-owners, should show that this strategy isn't going to work.

    with the support they get from SFIV and RE5 on the PS3 side... we should all just not buy this PS3-port a year later and show them the difference of simultaneous release and releases that they sold out for timed exclusive.

  17. Kostchtchie

    • 4:10am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    lmao..is all i can think of, although sucks for people that want the game for ps3

  18. radgamer420

    • 4:16am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    PS3 will propably get it a year later if at all and it will most likely be an inferior port like the first one was. I'm glad I own both systems since I'll definitley be buying this for 360 the day it comes out.

    I love how capcom claims they don't do exclusives, yet they still manage to keep stuff exclusive to the 360.

    What ever happend to LOYALTY in this f'n industry?? :-

    I dont think people should dismiss this game based on the first one. Yes the port was bad but Capcom have since produced awsome titles for ps3 now such as resi evil 5 so will know how to do a better job second time round. Also we have no 4 player online co-op games which this game will be so even if it is a little late it will still be worth it. halo 3 and COD 4 is 2 years old and still played so if the online is awsome who cares if we have to wait a little. Unlike Xbox who have left 4 dead, gears of war, i really want a 4 player co-op shooter and as resi evil was so good this looks to be better graphically and more playable than the first Lost Planet. As i recall the online was still really good fun so i think this will be better than people are giving it credit. We have loads of exclusives to play until this comes out so dont mind the delay so i can catch up.

    • 11:06am EDT - April 29th, 2009

    Nobody wanted the first one on PS3 and it'll be the same with this one.

    I'm sure this is a deja vu article ... are PSU struggling to find industry news?

    I hate the constant raft of games that are supposed to have mass appeal but just aren't cutting the mustard.  There are too many iffy ports on the market as it is ... let's throw another blu-ray case on the fire shall we?

    @21 you say PS3 have no 4 player co-op, it seem you don't no how to add. so let me help you out....

    4+4= RESISTANCE 2 CO-OP, 2*4= 8 PLAYER CO-OP, with that said Resistance 2 8 player co-op better then every co-op you name.

    Man, far has Capcom fallen from the tree that it originally grew from.  What the he//?  They used to develop games exclusively for the PS2 back in the day.  And, now they said that they were going to make games on all systems because it would be better for them that way.  Hence RE5.  But now, they\\\'re saying MAYBE or EVENTUALLY for the PS3 for Lost Planet 2?  What load of BS is that?  Why would they betray Sony like that and shoot themselves in the foot?  Are they that stuck up and full of themselves now?  I\\\'ll be deeply disappointed in Capcom if they backstab Sony like that.  I really hate these stupid sensors on PSU.  What is this, kindergarten?

    • 2:35pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

    umm yeah, given the quality of the PS3 LP port, I'm really looking forward to this possibility happening...NOT.

    another port from capcom

  36. Harrykawk666

    • 3:25pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

    Honestly, first one wasn't too fun. Played it on a friend's 360 and wasn't too impressed. Then played the demo when it was released for ps3 and it was wayyyyy too buggy for my taste.

  37. dharlequin

    • 4:37pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

    It would be surprising if Lost Planet 2 never made an appearance on the PS3, as the first Lost Planet was later ported after a year of exclusivity on the Xbox 360.

    Especially surprising after DMC 4 and RE5 were identical on both platforms. So what seems to be the problem with Lost Planet 2? Why the delay?

  38. amk111

    • 4:56pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

     i don't think thats ever gonna happen. capcom saw that the first one was a failure on the ps3 and maybe they thought  why make another failure...if they can make both versions identical and launch them at the same time, yeah that'll be great. but this gen's capcom proved that they r 360 fanboys, even though both consoles r almost identical- i have both so i know.

    Lost planet sucked any ways, The highest score it got from both system was 7.5 and lower

  42. Daz2399

    • 6:38pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

    Every Crapcom game this gen has sucked donkey balls. RE5, SFIV, Lost Planet, all were crap. SFIV is the same boring game it was 20 years ago, RE5 has some of the worst controls I have ever seen....oh wait, never mind Lost planets controls sucked worse by a little.

     This timed exclusive brought to you by your friends at M$. No other reason could possibly exist.

  44. pepsivscoke

    • 8:57pm EDT - April 29th, 2009

    This game could be a good one but not if its old news 1 yr. later on the PS3! What bugs me is the Capcom claim that all games will be multiplatform from now on. What happened to that? Why do these companies keep M$ alive when they make a faulty product! Owell I guess I'll be buying inFamous and Drake 2 and GOW3 etc. etc. so I won't miss out any.

    I just wish we could get enough people together to get capcoms attention. Just so we can tell them not to bother, and that nothing they produce will ever live up to Sony's stellar first party offerings. "It's ok, capcom. Keep your exclusive money: you'll need it for the rainy day coming when PS3 owners have finally had enough of you."

     

     

    Let's see how long ms checks can keep them afloat, shall we?

  48. Gunbladewarrior

    • 6:29am EDT - April 30th, 2009

    Funny how when it comes to a 360 "exclusive"(Dead Rising, and this) they don't seem to budge much on jumping multiplatform, but when it was Devil May Cry they had to get the 360 version out the same day. :/

    • 7:33pm EDT - April 30th, 2009

    nothing to worry about indeed. the first one was lame... and how the heck do you make fighting mechs lame. I dont know but they did it. also MS money made this happen no doubt. we can do without it.. hey maybe this is their way of sticking it to ms. we can hope.
