Quantcast



 You have to hand it to Capcom -- their support of Lost Planet, both on the Xbox 360 and the PC, has been nothing short of astonishing. Adding to the already available bevy of content, Capcom has announced new playable characters and maps for the PC version of Lost Planet

New characters will be available in the form of a July 20th automatic updated and will include: Frank West (in his underwear, apparently) from Dead Rising, Joe from Lost Planet's single-player campaign, and -- are you sitting down? -- Mega Man. The download will also add new gameplay view modes, including a Resident Evil 4-style behind the shoulder view, and a new "Wide" view option. Additionally (yes, there's more), multiplayer mode has been updated with a list of connected players for quick viewing, and a movie mode has been added that will allow players to watch all of the in-game story cut scenes from start to finish. 

But wait, I'm not done yet -- Capcom are also throwing in a free PC Map Pack #1 download on the same day, including "Radar Field," "Island 902," "Trial Point" and "Hive Complex." These four maps are already available to Xbox 360 users (not for free, as of right now) in the form of Map Pack #1 and Map Pack #2. On July 20th, these maps will become free, and a patch addressing connectivity issues is also set to hit around month's end.

Right now is about the time Lost Planet players should be kissing Capcom's a**. Go on -- I'll wait here.

Aww I thought it would be the real megaman or one of them. It's just Frank in the Megaman costume.

You would think it would be cool to be Mega Man, if not for the fact that Capcom is just whoring out my favorite NES character. Yes, Capcom has made Mega Man a cheap, cheap whore.

We need a new classic Megaman game in which Megaman just travels through time and rapes all of the shitty spinoff characters in the ass with the megabuster.

Now I can live my life long dream of playing Mega-Man in another mediocre Capcom game... oh wait, I got to do that in Dead Rising.

Is there some clause in Keiji Inafune's contract that says he gets to put megaman outfits in every game he produces? Or is this just staving off the hordes of megaman fans that KNOW in their heart of hearts that Megaman Legends 3 will never come, despite the fact that they made that engine for it.

Damn, I was at Sams Club yesterday and they had a display box for Lost Planet on the shelf, with a reduced price of $10.28!! I was like, hell yeah.. But after I paid for it and the guy checked the back room they found they didn't have anymore, and all the other near by Sams Club stores didn't have the game reduced at all, I was so disappointed =(. Guess I'll just have to pay full price, at least I got the 360 free =O.
