Lost Planet 2 producer on demo's release: 'Soon, I guess' photo

Remember how Capcom had hoped to get a playable Lost Planet 2 demo out for public consumption around E3 time? That ... didn't happen. Instead, I got to hear from Dale and Hamza about how you can travel inside the stomach of a salamander boss, rather than experience it for myself, and ended up playing Yoshi's Island out of jealousy.

According to Famitsu by way of Joystiq, Lost Planet 2 producer Jun Takeuchi has said the E3 demo will be available for download "soon, I guess." Perhaps this is just me, but casually adding in "I guess" to the statement makes Takeuchi sound like a total badass.

There's not much else to do but hope Capcom's definition of "soon" matches your definition of the word, because that four-person co-op is begging to be played.

Wow I completely forgot about that boss in Yoshi's Island. That goes without saying about Jabu Jabu in Ocarina of Time.

HD putridness inside the guts of a monster? Oh hell yeah

Yoshi's Island is probably better than Lost Planet 2 anyway.

You know, even before the fight in Yoshi's island, there was a boss battle in Kiwi Kraze for nintendo when you are eaten by a whale and you have to avoid his stomach acid.

Thanks for that amazing header image: I really want to play Yoshi's Island again now.

@Monodi
For some reason I thought about Jabu Jabu as well.

@Mascot,

It wasn't really a fight, but in StarTropics you get eaten by a whale and have to traverse your way around until you find the way out.

A full ONE YEAR EARLIER than Kiwi Kraze!

Is this the demo for the 360 and PS3, or just 360... wait, is this even coming out for the PS3, I read somewhere that it was, but I've also read somewhere that it doesn't.

The PS3 version has actually been confirmed. The demo will likely be only for the 360.

I thought the demo was coming out around E3 time.

I'm going to go home and play some Yoshi's Island. Your temptations are too much for me!

@Chronic Logic: look at the size of those Shy Guys he eats to make 'em! I think in that scenario, Yoshi got shrunken, but since the enemies remained the same size, so did his eggs.

@Mascot,

Never played BoF2, did they steal something from StarTropics?

StarTropics totally stole it from the Bible though.
