Destructoid: "I was already pretty close to all-in after learning of the concept behind Capcom's Lost Planet spin-off E.X. Troopers. The idea was to take the snowy and fairly serious world and soften it up a bit with cell shading and pink-haired teenagers. It's still a third-person shooter that centers around exploration, but the action is more arcade-y and the Japanese factor has been turned up past maximum.
And now that I've played it, I'm going to be waiting impatiently for a western release announcement."
Took the development team seven years to release their favourite game fully translated for gamers worldwide.
The PlayStation 4 took a bit to get settled in Japan, but now that it has, its predecessor is getting its chance to ride into the sunset. Of course, that's a really great time to import some of its games for cheap! Read on for Michibiku's guide to the best titles to grab for the platform.
Michibiku's Graham Russell and Jenni Lada, along with Andrew Passafiume, play E.X. Troopers.
I'm pretty sure a lot of Lost Planet fans would rather pick this up instead of Lost Planet 3. LP is just not the same as it's geared more towards a newer audience rather than the old. EX Troopers seems like the kind of game I would play, but not LP3. Never really asked for some Gears of Wars/Dead Space rip off.
