Lost Planet launches with a budget price

Capcom's big PS3 surprise was a port of the former Xbox 360 exclusive, Lost Planet.

Disappointed PS3 fans expecting more were dismayed by the idea of yet another port, and threw a collective tantrum on the internet. Well, at least Capcom's making a smart move by pricing next year's port at a discount price.

If Capcom's official store is to be believed, the game will launch for only $40 -- that's $20 less than the standard retail price for games.

Still don't care. I wouldnt buy this game if it were $20

[ruibing]

I think it depends on when its coming out next year. It's a pretty jammed pack year for PS3 games, so it's going to have to find a sweet spot for me to make a purchase.

[lawman1108]

Come on..........How could I resist?

[macalatus]

Hey lawman1108, didn't I warn you about the dangers of using drugs?

[shrimpboat]

your just mad because the PS3 is stepping all over the 360 in every country but the US. Well look at the December Predictions.

[the worst]

im buying $40
i didnt get 2 finish on 360
(RROD)

[sonarus]

lol same. was playing it for a while but it got lame but if its 40 bucks i'll reconsider. The game is pretty ok aint the best but definetly something i would like to finish

[ReBurn]

So RROD prevented you from finishing it? You couldn't finish it when you got your 360 back?

[lawman1108]

That game on easy takes like 10 hrs to play, keep up the RROD stuff cuz its all you have and ps it aint stopping people from buying the system. People forget that the very 1st pack in for the PS3 was Taladaga nights (shocker a BR movie) and the second pack is was also a movie (Spider-man 3) wake up and except the fact Sony wants BR NOT a game system. hope you Sony boys are buying alot of BR disc's cuz you sure aint buying games (what few you have that is.

[macalatus]

@lawman1108,

We understand you spend all of your dough on smoke coming from Microsoft's a$$! At least you do enjoy it, right?

PS: Wow, dude, you're pretty close in making your second account!! Assuming you don't have another right now, that is!

[dhammalama]

My box RROD'd when I was playing this game too, so I haven't finished it either. It's a cool game though.

[shrimpboat]

Thats funny. I was playing Lost Planet when I got the RRoD. No lie, I swear. LOL . It was 2 days before Bioshock came out and I was pi$$ed. Its funny because Now i am scarred to put the game back in my system and I haven't played it since.

[MaximusPrime]

i didnt like the demo (on xbox 360) . I will play PS3 demo to see if it has improved or not.

[FamilyGuy]

Budget price is all you had to say o,0
Hopefully it has a demo to checkout first...

Speaking of this and the other most recently approved news, we need more price lowered games. A PS3 greatest hits would be great or just some non-movie games for $40 or less would be nice

[sonarus]

dnt expect that till sony actually starts making a profit. I'd say in a yr or 2

[Charlie2688]

If you like mechs/mech games or giant boss battles I would recommend it I had a BLAST playing the game but that was cuz I LOVE them Mechs :P

[v1c1ous]

don't come into this expecting an immersive story or control system.

capcom rehashed (duh!) the monster hunter controls, so the 3rd person shooting sections feel a bit...uhhh...stiff.

just go in with an open mind and you will enjoy it and the mech fights.

[Enigma_2099]

I thought that was the $19.99-$29.99 range...

[The Snake]

Welcome to the next gen.

[Enigma_2099]

*sigh*

[name]

I'll have to ask some 360 people about the game. I don't really care if it's a port since I haven't even played the game yet, but if it releases january, I'll pick this up along with Haze and burnout. I'd prefer if it were 30 dollars like oblivion, but eh, what can you do

[THAMMER1]

This game is real fun. The boss battles a challenge, and online is a blast too. You would be surprised to see how nice the controls are for the mechs, plus how many different mechs you can choose from. The story line is kind of silly, but over all a beautiful game. I would not pass it up. $40.00 is a good deal. You can hook up with your PSN buddies and enjoy a pretty decent game.

edit: I have to add that the explosions and sound for this game will really blow you away. Have fun.

[Komrad]

Are they adding anything new?

[Charlie2688]

The game is supposed to include all the DLC of the 360 version and the extras of the PC version

[ElementX]

I enjoyed this game.

[FamilyGuy]

It's supposed to include some expansion pack that the 360 got or i may be confusing this with oblivion...

[ChaosKnight]

I'll buy it when it hits $20 only because I really don't need another copy of the game, as much as I love it =)

[Salvadore]

The game will retail at $40, includes all the extra DLC found on the PC/360 and people still act as though you dont give a damn.

[jackdoe]

They don't give a damn because, A. The game wasn't that good, just very pretty at the time it came out. B. The game doesn't look that pretty on the PS3 judging from the released screens. Now they could fix it, and if they do, and make the game look on par or better than the 360 version, then maybe more people would be interested. But as of now, the graphics for the PS3 version looks like sh!t. Muddy textures, and I mean extremely muddy, no AA, and no motion blur really hurt this game.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

I thought a good ol' Andrew Jackson was enough for a budget title, maybe for the last generation but now we are all entering the new generation where budget titles will be bumped up to $40. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony's PS3 Greatest Hits line coming in at $40 a game either (I would still be pissed, but not surprised).

[FamilyGuy]

For people like me who have never played it this is an ALL NEW game. Why do i care if John Nobody played it last year? A new, FULL game on the PS3 that is only $40 and isn't some crappy made-from-movie game is good news in my book.

Im thinking $30 for the PS3 greatest hits. The price was raised by ten doller so im just gonna transfer that over...

[AppleSlime]

Last I saw of it I remember it looking like the typical crappy port. I have a 360, too, though. Haven't bothered with the game this long, so, Is it even worth trying out?

[wetowel]

If this were Dead Rising instead of Lost Planet I would buy it day 1.

[Jack Bauer]

i might rebuy it now on the PS3... i loved this game on my 360.

[ROCCOZILLA]

forget orange box and lost planet,so last gen.lets get the real games like haze and ut3.this is the futre,dont buy the past.

[urban bohemian]

Portal and Episode 2 are last gen? Buy orange box you won't be disappointed!

[mintaro]

lost planet for $40?? thats not bad i might actally buy it

[bootsielon]

When it's $20

[HarryEtTubMan]

I used to have this for the 360... it has really big multiplayer maps with bug mech warrior robts u can drive and grapping hooks to swing on and pull urslef up. It's a pretty good game... u wouldnt regret it for 40$

[gunnerforlife]

if this game aint lower then £25 then i wont buy it

theres to many games out next year for me to shell out £45

[MaximusPrime]

i paid 30 quids for Uncharted (brand new). Thats 20 pounds cheaper.
Welcome to the internet generation.

[kunark]

hrmm all the dlc from the pc and 360 add ons, thats sweet and its only 40 bucks thats a hell of a deal to me im getting it for sure!

[fopums]

As long as it is a decent port I'll check it out

[J@D]

The price sound tempting that for sure. Maybe I give the try next year hope for a demo too.

[jackdoe]

Hm, if the port ends up being half-assed like all the screens seem to hint, then that $40 would be better spent towards DMC 4.

[UltramanJ]

Loved the demo back when it hit, but found the game to lose it's luster as I got further into it during a rental. Yet, I'm still interested in finishing the game, but not for $40. Sure it includes all of the 360 extra content, but that seems to have been factored into the price considering the 360 version's $25-$30.
I'd like this game way more if I didn't have to worry about collecting orange goop to stay alive.

[CATCHORA]

nice....

[Dogswithguns]

....$40. it's worth it.

[FirstknighT]

What's wrong with you droids??? This is a GREAT game. Only reason why some of you don't want to play it because it was on the 360 first. Damn babies.

[UltramanJ]

Lost Planet's Metacritic score is 79, the same score as Heavenly Sword which you consider to be a crappy game.
Therefore according to FirstKnight Lost Planet = crap.

[Lex Luthor]

Just like oblivion, done and dusted this game ages ago.

[Lex Luthor]

Lower the price to £5 and i'll try it out.

[Baba1906]

i would like a demo to test this. that would make me happy .
