Lost Planet: Colonies isn't a sequel or a new game, but a Director's Cut edition of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and everything that goes with that. There have been no major changes to the overall gameplay. If you played Lost Planet and didn't enjoy it or simply don't feel like ever replaying it again, Lost Planet: Colonies isn't going to appeal to you. Everything from the controls to the graphics to the plotline is functionally untouched.
Colonies is a game for those that either loved Lost Planet or those unfortunate few who've never gotten a chance to take a Vital Suit up against an Akrid. Capcom is really going all out to ensure that Lost Planet: Colonies is a worthwhile re-release in every regard.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
Gamervision: "With about a quarter of the United States population buried in snow, there is an inordinate number of gamers at home right now. In between shoveling sessions, these gamers just might be looking for the perfect game to play to get their minds off the bitter cold barrage of frozen hell that continues to close schools and offices across the northeast. Fortunately, we at Gamervision have assembled a list of the perfect games to keep you warm during this winter lockdown, and we are perfectly qualified to do so; we're all wearing hawaiian shirts."
8 - Dante's Inferno
Hell may not be the most inviting place. In fact, by design, it's kind of the least inviting. It is, however, quite warm, and Dante's Inferno promises 8-10 hours of Stygian action, complete with plenty of searing flames. Ahhh, searing flames. Besides, if some recent reviews are any indication, people might need an excuse to play this game, anyway, so this one's as good as any.
Looks like my one snowday just turned into two. Hmmm, Wave Race 64 IS on virtual console.....
Kotaku Japan (via Google Translate) is reporting that Marcus and Dom from Gears of War are appearing in the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2.
Well that's different.
What extra characters will the other versions feature, I wonder.
Not too odd. Remember the PS3 release of Lost Planet included Mega Man and Frank West among others.
Granted they were Capcom characters, but still, Marcus and Dom probably fit the style of the game a bit better.
For the PS3 version it'll likely be Sony owned characters. If Resistance or Killzone had better known characters I'd guess they would be likely. Kratos is always possible, but he doesn't seem like he'd fit the universe.
Hopefully it's better on the PC then the original. I didn't like the Original on the PC, it should have stayed on the box.
