Ubisoft reveals details on Lost game, trailer at San Diego Comic-Con photo

Up until now, details on Ubisoft's videogame based on Lost have been even sketchier than the mysterious twists of the show it's based on. Today it was announced that they will finally be publicly revealing the game in trailer form at this year's San Diego Comic-Con International, during a Lost Season 4 panel which will take place this afternoon.

While there is still very little information about the game to go on, Ubisoft has revealed that the game will have players taking on the role of a passenger of "doomed" Oceanic Flight 815. Taking on the role of one of the show's many faceless survivors, you will explore the island, face your "dark past," and rub elbows with many of the series' main characters. The game will involve puzzle solving elements, as well a "smoke monster" battle that will likely have the Internet analyzing video for months to come.

Lost is being devloped for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. We'll have the trailer up as soon as we can get our grubby little hands on it.

At the time they were in production, I'm told that Matthew Fox was unavailable to be scanned into the game. So they just used Rob Summa instead.

I'm actually gonna try and keep optimistic for this, but the game could go downhill quite quickly.

I will buy 2 copies of any game with the Summa in it.

Having spent time with Rob (not sexually ... yet), I can say that, while I see the comparisons to Fox, the guy reminds me more of a young Woody Harrelson than anyone else.

When I told him this, he was pretty pissed off, but I just call it like I see it. Personally, I've gotten everything from Luke Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Tom Cruise for myself.

Let's turn this thread into the: "What celebrity do you look like?" thread, and ignore the fact that there's a Lost game coming out.

Because of my job in the film industry, I've known absolutely everything about this game for 3 months. It's been killing me to stick to that non-disclosure policy, but reason and the fear of a lawsuit has kept me quiet. I'm glad this news is finally breaking so I don't have to suffer the torment.

BTW, Damon Lindeloff plays games and has had a close involvement with this game's production. Hopefully it will be good.

The smoke monster is The Cigarette Smoking Man in liquid form.

He is defeated with city wide no smoking bans.

So halfway into the game, you come across Jacob/The Island and you can choose to be its avatar? And then you send some visions to Desmond so he will stop the Survivors from getting on the boat. Whoooooops disclosure agreement!

Celebrity-wise, I always get that people think I'm the girl from Lazytown.

ROflcopter DVDdesign has got the funny :[

I still have yet to watch Lost.....another thing I guess I'm missing out on because apparently Kojima watches it...and if Kojima watches it....it's got Snake cooties all over it.

@ Nick Brutal Chester


I don't know man I would say Rob favors Mathew Fox a lot!! I have been out to The Dresden in Hollywood and had a few drinks with him and he kicked my ass good at GH2 .I really don't see the Woody Harlson comparison ...maybe when he is just being goofy but other then that he pretty much looks like him.

Professor Pew, I wish you were the girl from Lazytown. Wait, shit, did I say that outloud?

This game has such a high potential for suckage, but it sounds cool, at least. Hopefully they'll do it right and it won't descend into usual TV-adaptation mediocrity.

@slee: make sure nobody at Comic-Con reads this, they will hunt you down like Watchmen casting info or emasculating pictures of John Locke's avatar penis!

I get any red headed actress out there from Julianne Moore to Kate Winslet. I also get Leelee Sobieski from Never Been Kissed.

LOL @ perverted animated gifs. I feel sorry for that chick.

@Faith
You don't look like any of those women. Well, maybe Sobieski, but that's only a slight resemblance. I've gotten both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, on seperate occasions. I honestly don't see either comparison.

Why wouldn't they be smart enough to set the game before the show takes place? Like...long before.

We don't even know anything about the story of the game. It's a little early to be calling them stupid. Just wait, people. Sheesh.

I don't know any details on this aspect, but if Hurley is in the game, I'll be buying it the instant it hits the shelves.
