GameCrazy thinks Lost Planet 2 is coming to PS3, should you? photo

According to a listing with videogame retailer GameCrazy, Capcom's Lost Planet 2 is a thing that is coming to the PlayStation 3, alongside with the previously announced Xbox 360 game.

When Capcom first announced Lost Planet 2, they did so with a trailer that was available exclusively on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The reveal featured the game's producer Jun Takeuchi thanking Microsoft before taking off his clothes. (Note: He actually just took off his jacket.) When asked about a PS3 version of Lost Planet 2, Capcom simply said the game's being "developed for the Xbox 360." Later, it admitted it was simply "thinking about it."

So either GameCrazy knows something we don't, or they're thinking the same thing we are -- of course Lost Planet 2 is coming to the PlayStation 3, silly geese! Capcom has already publicly stated its intent to release next-gen games across multiple platforms, and have so far stuck to its guns. Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando, and Dead Rising 2 are all headed to (or are already on) the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Really, why should Lost Planet 2 be any different?

Remember how Dino Crisis 3 was, I never got to play it on PS2 because the xbox exclusive version was bad. DC 1 and 2 rock on ps1.

They did state how they had plans for a DMC on the PSP...at some point in the past, I don't remember when but they eventually canned it. Maybe it's their way of showing them as being slightly anti-Sony?

I'd bet on Lost Planet 2 coming to PS3 unless Microsoft hands them a nice bag of money - which might be the case, considering the way it debuted. Capcom's engine and tools are already set up for multiplatform development and there's no reason to not want as large an audience as possible, so it doesn't make sense to make a game exclusive unless they're getting something out of it.

It will get released a year later with worse graphics.

Better question: GameCrazy cares that lost planet 2 is coming to ps3, should you?

Yeah we like big enemies, but can it top the ones in Resistance 2? I know FPSs aren't everybody's cup of tea, but perhaps I never saw what was special about LP, beyond being an original IP.

I didn't think much to the first one, hammered through it on a mates ecksbawks, but really didn't care much for it.

It was kinda like, phew, glad that's over.

If this comes to PS3 I may give it a rent.

I think we will see it on PS3. Most Capcom games are multi-plat now and they said they don't do exclusives anymore. They want money!

You know what? Let's just make things easier. All FPS games shall be for the 360, and all RPG games shall be for the PS3. Everything else shall be booted to the Wii. How about that?

Capcom's also "thinking about" making Monster Hunter 4, 5 and 6 with variations including the words "Freedom", "Unite" and the letter "G".
We'll be seeing Lost Planet 2 on the PS3 in a year or so.

I probably will get on the ps3 a year or few months after the 360 version. Hopefully Capcom will do a better job porting it. But I didn't much like the first one anyways so I really don't care about this game.

@ ParaParaKing

That's exactly what I thought at first, thanks to the first Lost Planet, but I think we're finally beyond crappy PS3 ports. If this does come to the PS3 (and Capcom would be stupid to prevent that), then I think it'll look fine.
