Capcom on Lost Planet 2 @ E3 2009
I was watching the coverage over Lost Planet 2 by GameSpot, GameTrailers, as well as the US Playstation Blog. Came out with these points:
- T-ENG no longer drops regularly
- Harmonizer can be activated by holding Start button to recover health
- Data posts double as respawn points
- Can sprint
- Can also transfer T-ENG to other players by shooting it at them
- VSes can be repaired now (probably using T-ENG), other players can ride a piloted VS
- Characters can be customized for single-player (and probably multi-player)
- Split-screen co-op is under consideration by developers, looking into possibility with MT Framework 2.0
- Modes like Humans vs. Akrid from Lost Planet: Colonies are also being considered
- Game is announced for the PlayStation 3 alongside the Xbox 360 and release simultaneously compared to Lost Planet 1
- Problems with Lost Planet 1 that turned gamers off should be addressed in 2 (generalization)
- Playable demo for gamers will be forthcoming on XBL and PSN
- Game will be out this Winter
You can see some footage of the game:

IGN – [Extended Trailer][1][2]
GameSpot’s #1 and Stage Demo are actually the most informative of the lot, giving a lot of detail into what you can expect from Lost Planet 2.
