Capcom considers multi-platform Lost Planet 2

CVG writes:

"Capcom has been hounded over the possibility of Lost Planet 2 for PS3 ever since it announced the game for 360 only back in February.
Despite rumours, the publisher/developer has refused to completely rule out the possibility of a PS3 version. But Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi has recently admitted that other version of the game could be on the cards.

When asked, once again, about a PS3 version Takeuchi replied: "We are currently investigating other platforms."
There's currently no release date for the 360 version, but the debut trailer above looks so nice we certainly hope it's out this year."

another timed exclusive with "bonus" features. I own both systems, but of course I'll play it on XBOX if its not available on my ps3 at the sametime.

hopefully its simultaneous. Hell, if I have to wait for FFXIII to be finished on 360 before it gets released on PS3....why can't capcom do the same?

Just announce the damn game already for both platforms.

or don't be surprised when the PS3 version doesn't sell as well as hoped because you didn't put the effort in up front.

Sangria6291d ago

You're too pessimist. Maybe this time Capcom will decrease of 1 or 2 GB the mandatory installation of the game.

Blaze9296291d ago

For all we know, "We are currently investigating other platforms" could mean the wii :-/

Lifendz6291d ago

PS3 isn't selling as bad as some of these articles would have you believe. It's install base is substantial to say the least. 360 may have the U.S., but PS3 has Europe and Japan. Make your game exclusive if you want. I'll just pick up one of the many PS3 games available.

The whole timed exclusive thing is kind of stupid anyway. Unless the game comes out later with significant improvements in both visuals, gameplay, and content, AND is sold at a reduced price, most are going to say no thanks. See VF5, Lost Planet, BioShock, etc.

The only 3rd party exclusive that I can think of that would turn the whole gaming world upside down is MGS4. But that aint happening. Heck, even 1up stopped begging for that to happen.

Thanks for SF4 Capcom. Tell ya what, keep Lost Planet and release the darn tournament patch already and we'll call it even.

Last I heard, Capcom was good and done "considering" an all-multi-platform policy. Capcom going back on their word? Who wudda thunk it..

Saigon6291d ago

if this does come out for the PS3...it would hurt especially that it was announced as an exclusive...

beardpapa6291d ago

If they did not see their recent RE5 sales figure in JPN, they should start now and consider the possibility of making this game multiplat.

Why dis6291d ago

They didn't say that these media outlets are starting to make up news.

ThanatosDMC6290d ago

They're just waiting for M$ to give 'em more $$$. Cant blame them since that's business 101.

I liked the first Lost Planet when I had a 360. I do hope Lost Planet 2 does come to the ps3 without the huge install requirement.

jams_shop6291d ago

So this means that Capcom has doubts on a possible release of Lost Planet 2 on the PS3. I guess they don't know how many copies of RE5 they sold for the PS3(especially in Japan). I thought releasing their games on as many platforms as possible, was part of their business plans. I guess they didn't had any doubts about DMC4 going multi-platform.

Sangria6291d ago

I think they do that as a bid, to see which of Sony and Microsoft will give the most to take the exclusivity. But knowing Capcom, i wouldn't be surprised if Lost Planet 2 goes timed-exclusive, like they did for the first one.

SupaPlaya6291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

That may be true, but given the larger PS3 install base now, it will probably cost a lot more.

Seeing that LP2 is already announced for the 360, it's more like Capcom is trying to see how much MS will pay for the game to be a timed exclusive.

SoapShoes6291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

Whatever happened to "Year of the multiplatform"? Seems whenever a PS3 game comes and goes to 360 they're always touting this sentiment and then they magically forget about it when it comes to exclusives for 360(LP2) and Wii(Monster Hunter 3).

Capcom is crap in my eyes. I hate companies that backpedal and have no credibility in their word. I mean man up and stick to your word or if you have no intentions of doing what you say, just DON'T SAY IT. Seriously...

Aclay6291d ago (Edited 6291d ago )

"There's currently no release date for the 360 version, but the debut trailer above looks so nice we certainly hope it's out this year."

Lost Planet 2 has already been confirmed for 2010, so it's not coming out this year.

Unless M$ paid to have it exclusive, I think the Lost Planet 2 situation will play out just like Lost Planet 1 did... it'll come out on the 360 first and hit the PS3 at a later date.

I mean, if Dead Rising 2 is now multiplatform (a former Xbox exclusive franchise), I have a pretty good feeling that Lost Planet 2 will be as well.

jackdoe6291d ago

I doubt it will even be a timed exclusive on the 360. Capcom has tried that already with Lost Planet 1 on the PS3 and failed horribly; I doubt they want to try for round 2, especially with the humongous sales of RE5 and SFIV on the PS3 this year.

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast1109d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie1109d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.
