NVIDIA and Capcom are teaming up to port the hit 360 game, Lost Planet, to the PC. It will take full advantage of DirectX 10 and feature Extreme High Definition (or XHD), an NVIDIA buzz word that means the game can run at a resolution of 2560x1600. Yowza!
According to producer Jun Takeuchi, the NVIDIA GPU will be able to pump out amazing graphics and details not seen in the 360 version. Of course, you're going to need all kinds of high end hardware to run the game.
But, damn! Those snow and smoke effects are going to look spiffy, even if your body is too weak to play the game, because you've sold massive amounts of blood and semen to afford a new graphics card and monitor.
The game should be available in Europe and the US this June. Everyone else will have to suffer with the already last-gen Xbox 360 version. Poor things.

Capcom can sod right off after that.
Let all gamers have the choice to buy the game for their specific systems......
I can understand if development-wise the gaming company cannot make the game....but it seems more and more games are going multi-platform....as it should be.
Fanboys die.....oh yeah Sony suxorz
I missed that comment "last-gen 360" ... I shed a tear thinking this might be half true already...
/sigh
I guess I better start saving for the X-Box 720
Now I need to get Vista. :(
But I dont want Vista... >_<
Woe be me... woe be me.. :(
"Wow that explosion was huge! .... wait, why the hell didn't it kill anything?"
More alive you mean. Because I'm honestly not seeing any non-PC games to play nowadays.
While you may be correct on the rest of them, I remember Silent Hill ports being just fine.
However, this is going to be different.

According to this, it already has mouselook, remappable controls and 360 controller support in it. By the way there are some comparison screenshots in there too. I'm glad I didn't buy the game for my 360 earlier.
