Lost planet 2 is an odd duck. On one hand it is more lost planet for better and for worse, on the other hand it's so over the top that it just feels like a parody of the first game.
You literally fight a train, and if you play with friends, you can hit the Ginyu squad pose afterwards.
I was SO confused when i first played it after loving Lost Planet 1.
But i grew to love LP2 even more. Its like a Japanese kaiju/mecha fever dream with free loot box mechanics.
Its probably one of my favorite games of all time
It was a bit like monster hunter, right? I remember the train fight in multiplayer and everyone was really pulling their weight just to beat the boss. Then it dishes our materials or weapons or perks or something. Thought that was a nice addition to the series.
Yeah I love it. Fighting giant monster, like monster hunter but with guns and grenade) with a group is so much fun. Some get eaten but fighting their way out from inside while other teamates try to stall it or taking it down from outside was wild.
Agreed and I played a fuck ton of it. I still have it, but can't play it because backwards compatibility issues where the special mech stuff is mapped to start and back which also opens the xbox menu...
The only thing that should open the xbox menu is the xbox middle button.
Start and pause should work just fine. It did on xbox 1.
Does it even work at all on series x?
For backwards compatibility the middle button does open the xbox menu, I meant the 360 menu gets opened by the start and back buttons. Apologies for my confusion
Ohhhhhh. Oh man i forgot about that weirdness! But you have to press both at once roght?
The game shouldn't be effect by that. No sequences demand it? Maybe just some super obscure thing like mech fusion?
That's a bit sad tbh, because 3, despite being bad at "being Lost Planet", is still not a bad game. Good even! I myself value it higher than 2 (but I dislike 2 to quite a noticeable degree).
Lost Planet 3 gives me a heavy Dead Space 3 vibe. On its own it's not a terrible game... but it's not a good continuation of the previous entries in the series
Maybe, with big difference here Dead Space 3 being just worse than previous 2 (which both were great and very consistent), while LP3 is not exactly worse, but very different instead, and is following fairly mediocre LP2.
I remember being so hyped to get another LP game after being a huge fan of both 1 and 2. And then I don't think I even got halfway done with 3. It just felt generic and soulless.
Even with 2's story being a meme, it felt like the team tried. That train scene will always live rent free in my head.
You literally don't fight a train.
You fight a giant sandworm, while riding on a train. LP2 is all about giant alien creatures, very similar to Helldivers 2, for that matter.
That whole sequence slaps, especially playing solo. Needing to manually load the train gun and firing what feels like a small bus into the side of that worm is just awesome.
The Waysider's train arc is the best part of that game tbh. No game has so seamlessly blended its gameplay with operating a large vehicle so seamlessly.
I would be surprised if Lost Planet 2 hasn’t held up over the years. I really enjoyed it but back then I had so many games I only got the first two levels in before setting it down for what ended up being forever. I might try to pick it up again if I can find it. It was very good from what I experienced
I've played it maybe as recently as 3-4 years ago but originally finished it on release. Still holds up but it's vastly different from 1, think the intention in 2 was to replay levels and unlock new weapons and then replay again with obvious emphasis on coop. The cannon level is an obvious example.
As a series all three games were so different, 3 was probably a step closer to 1 but the style felt less like a Capcom game because it so obviously wasn't developed by them which probably explains every game being so different.
i tried playing it recently and man it kinda sucks. doubly so if playing solo. the game is designed around coop, but if you want to play solo, you can ever turn off the bots and make the game much harder, or you can turn on the bots. the problem is the bots it gives you fucking run off ahead of you. i think its the only game i've seen where the coop bots will play the game without the player.
Lost planet 2 is a weird game. I played it on a whim one weekend sometime this year and had a solid day of randoms joining my squads, i was utterly dumbfounded as they were different people as far as i looked.
The game was exponentially better with teammates, you dont know fun until you and your friends work together to man a giant train with a cannon on it to hunt the worm frome dune
I used to play the demo for Lost Planet 2 all the time on the 360. I thought it was one of the best demos I’ve played, then I rented the game and I don’t remember much from it. The demo on the other hand…
Agreed. The co-op in LP2 was genuinely ahead of its time - four player campaign with those massive boss fights? Would love to see Capcom give it another go but I won't hold my breath
The only things I remember about these games is how much fun I had grinding the lost planet 2 demo on Xbox live. Idk why but it was the only thing I played for a week and never got the full game lol
I feel like playing demo's was pretty much the standard for me when I was a kid. I remember playing the Warcraft, Jazz Jack Rabbit and Hocus Pocus demo's for months. Sometimes not even realising as a kid that I was playing a demo at all.
The Salamander fight was incredible, it was cool how it could eat you and your teammates fight it from the outside while you fight it's stomach and it shits you out lol
I tried the full game and was extremely disappointed. The first game had a story with characters. And the characters had faces. In Lost Planet 2, everyone wears masks. It's perplexing and honestly feels like they ran out of a budget to add lipsyncing, so they just put masks on everyone instead. I bailed since the gameplay felt pointless without a decent story to guide it.
I played Lost Planet 2 and pretty much enjoyed it. The train battle with the worms is burned in my memory because I had to replay it so much. I didn't get it new - got it at Blockbuster in a used bin.
I received this game as a child and absolutely loved plaything through the campaign over and over, sometimes split screen. One of the underrated gems from the 360 era for sure
I remember playing a bit of it on an old crt television before I had a HDTV. Kind of crazy to think this was one of the first games I booted on my Steam Deck and ran better than native.
This is the experience I had. It really looked like a next gen game. It didn’t make me want a 360 but it made me curious. I was content with ps2 until the ps3 was out.
The physics were pretty wild too. I remember throwing a grenade and it blowing one of the scorpion things right through a window. I stood there for a moment processing, "Holy shit that is possible!?" Threw so many grenades after that just to watch the bodies fly around.
I own this game on steam and have never played it. Wonder if there are any mods or texture packs around for it. Either way I should get around to playing it one day.
I loved 1 and had hoped the series would have continued with the gameplay from when you get the highly more advanced mech at the end, like a zone of the enders spiritual successor, but instead they made a (admittedly well done) monster hunter like co-op game, and whatever 3 was going for.
Wish we would have ever got the spinoff EX Troopers localized too.
I enjoyed lost planet but it was my first truly Japanese game. I was so confused when it went from hoard survival to mech battles. I need to revisit it as an adult.
Can’t say I cared for the sequel, but the OG is one of my all time favorites. A fun campaign and one of the first online multiplayer games I ever really got into. Fond memories of using the grappling hook to get swinging around in circles off the edges of cliffs and broken bridges!
Seeing Lost planet mentioned in a sub that isn't the Lost planet sub? Oh, happy day! I absolutely loved 1 and 2. I wish they would come out with a new one that combines the good stuff from both or just really well done remakes. I want to play these games again so badly I would pay more than the normal market price of games for this series.
I am still enraptured by this game, the mechs all looked so cool, I thought the "loose cross hairs" for aiming was really smart, keeping the camera from swinging around with every small adjustment.
I remember picking up the second one and it just never felt right, it was trying to be a battlefield game imo. It lost all the story and heart the original had.
Oh fuck I've been tryna remember the name of this gsmr for so long. I used to play the shit out of this on my 360 ! I had a poster of it even that haf the taglinr "kill big" on it
Had this on PC back in the day when it came out and was blown away by the graphics. I finally got around to playing it start to finish about 2 years ago. I was glad to be able to check it off the list as I'd always wanted to get back to it. Definitely worth a play - relatively short.
Man, I have fond memories of this game! I played the hell out of it back on the 360, mostly on the pvp side. Shout out to playing rocket launchers only on training facility lol.
Dude. Get out of my head. I was shoveling snow and couldn't think of this series! Frustrating sure. The second was a lot better and the multiplayer was enjoyable
Honestly this game was waaayyy better than I thought it would be. The mechs were awesome, especially the bigger ones, like the one that transformed into a spider I think near the end of the game?
Also it was one of the first games with a grappling hook you could aim anywhere. It was finicky at times, but I think it had to be otherwise it would be too OP. It was super fun once you got used to it. I wish the first one had coop.
I also wish the third game wasn't such a huge change in gameplay. It was a pretty immersive single player experience, however I don't think that's why people played lost planet. They wanted crazy mech fights against kaiju
This was one of those “so this is next gen” games that my friends and I all ran home from the school bus to play. Tons of fun, but definitely had that signature capcom jank to it
It was one of the original games that was consistently shown for Xbox 360 in year 1.
Man it looked good! The animations and graphics looked spectacular. It’s actually one of the biggest reasons I got an Xbox 360. I got the steelbook version.
This game and Arma 3 both strike me as games that would have done much better sales wise if the creators would have put some time into UI/UX. I had to call up and walk friends through how to get into the game.
Still one of my favorite games. Love the scale of the boss fights. Can be a little janky, but still a bunch of fun. Second one was pretty decent too. Shame the 3rd one wasn't that great. Desperately wish they'd bring this franchise back. A new Lost Planet game could definitely benefit from the drastic increase in fidelity from modern graphics.
Lost planet 2 was awesome. Up until recently it still worked on steam (was a pain to deal with games for Windows Live) but you can't get it anymore.
The co-op felt so good and like everyone involved mattered, conquering the map felt good as a squad, the jokes you could do with the poses, the customization with the character skins.
I don't think there are many other games that did the whole human vs Kaiju thing as well.
Also sprinkles in a bunch of for the times Capcom stuff like mechs and crazy stories.
I loved Lost Planet back in the day, played it on less than 30 FPS because my first PC was very bad for gaming. Later I bought a new PC and was able to properly play it at 60 FPS, and I recently replayed it on my Steam Deck.
Also my first game of that generation. It was the only game I could afford after spending all my cash on a PS3 (it was ported late and released at a lower price). Never understood why frisbee-grenades didn’t take off.
I avoided the whole franchise out of habit as I thought it absurd there was a game made to be so stressful that it could be enjoyed by anyone! It's funny to remember that now.
One of my favorite games that I only discovered cause my mom wanted me to buy a game I can play with my younger brother. Now many years later I’m a Monster Hunter and Soulslike addict
Some of the best times. Loved how like everybody knew everybody. Only game I ever joined a clan in. Im actually still in contact with a lot of the old crew(XBM) lol. We still reminisce of the old days to this day.
I always found it funny the mechs they made to harvest this awesome fuel produced on the planet that made it worth it to be on this terrible planet in the first place, burned through said fuel faster than they could harvest.
I know it was for gameplay reasons, but it was very silly.
i only played Lost Planet 2, but i loved it so much. all the weird monsters, mechs and factions. hulking a huge mech weapon as a soldier and just blasting stuff. favourite faction were the desert pirates with the box heads.
Lost Planet as a series is like the perfect snap shot of that era of gaming, and not exactly in a good way.
First game: Fun and unique feeling single player shooter with good mechanics, good enemy design, good gameplay variety, some fun bosses. Cool multiplayer too.
Second game: Every game is a multiplayer game now. Still fun times tho
EX Troopers: some awesome arcadey high skill shit but we know you guys aren't interested in that so it's never getting localized.
Third game: We need to appeal to a broader audience so let's just outsource the entire thing to a western developer so they can make a slower paced more cinematic and story driven game that strips away everything that gave the series its identity.
I don't even hate Lost Planet 3 on its own merits, but, it shouldn't have been Lost Planet 3.
It was a good game but average. Luckily I was in my early 20s playing this on my new Radeon card. It looked better than console version but the game had a lame story and okayish campaign. Crysis and COD MW came out prior to that and they were far better.
Hate to say it but it was one of only 2 games I returned in my 25 year gaming career this and that game that allowed you to fuck with the map as is raise and lower the ground level using magic? Guy with blue face in the cover? Lost planet annoyed me with the fact it was basically a time trial game due to freezing feature where you would just die for being outside, I get it of course but I was young and hated being rushed around in games
Probably unpopular opinion, but I did enjoy LP3. The mech in it creates really interesting "my home - my fortress" feeling, which is very rare in games.
I was recently reminded of the 6th console generations penchant for having had ports or multi plat releases at the beginning of the life cycle. I owned LP1 on my 360 and loved it. I bought it for the ps3 a few years ago and the opening level where you have to escape the giant worm was <10 fps the entire time. Game was basically unplayable on ps3
I remember this was the first title I played to test Direct X 10, which was only supported on vista at the time. I basically installed the whole OS just to test what DX10 was like, and it was basically just better fur effects. Still a great game, though.
Lost planet 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was so ahead of the gaming curve it’s insane and it’s sad it’s almost impossible to play it on PC now.
Me and my husband are playing through this on my 360 right now! Loved this game as a kid! Always remember playing the demo at Target near our house years ago.
Its basically a planet (EDN III) filled with large aggressive bug monsters (Akrid), you kill them and harvest their heat to stay alive. You battle them from inside of a mech (Vital Suits) that you can also get out of, and fight battle with some other mechs. The story is pretty goofy and over the top, and always has been, the first had a famous Korean actor playing the main character. Overall it feels like an action packed anime.
The third game released close to Dead Space 3 and they had similar settings so I think that hurt both games which sucks because now both series are literally on ice.
I never got around to playing Lost Planet 2, but I had the steelbook edition of 1. It felt really next gen, the snow deformation was so cool
Lost planet 2 is an odd duck. On one hand it is more lost planet for better and for worse, on the other hand it's so over the top that it just feels like a parody of the first game.
You literally fight a train, and if you play with friends, you can hit the Ginyu squad pose afterwards.

It was a bit like monster hunter, right? I remember the train fight in multiplayer and everyone was really pulling their weight just to beat the boss. Then it dishes our materials or weapons or perks or something. Thought that was a nice addition to the series.
My regular monster hunter group was also my LP2 group lmao
Yeah I love it. Fighting giant monster, like monster hunter but with guns and grenade) with a group is so much fun. Some get eaten but fighting their way out from inside while other teamates try to stall it or taking it down from outside was wild.
Not to forget the little hidden abilities like a group Spirit Bomb (after everyone strikes a pose) was awesome.
Agreed and I played a fuck ton of it. I still have it, but can't play it because backwards compatibility issues where the special mech stuff is mapped to start and back which also opens the xbox menu...
The only thing that should open the xbox menu is the xbox middle button. Start and pause should work just fine. It did on xbox 1. Does it even work at all on series x?

Ohhhhhh. Oh man i forgot about that weirdness! But you have to press both at once roght? The game shouldn't be effect by that. No sequences demand it? Maybe just some super obscure thing like mech fusion?
I believe the mech fusions and the support weapon secret moves use that button combination but everything else should work
I hope we get a sequel to LP2.
Lol. I see what you did there
Lowkey loved this series as well. LP1 is probably my favorite of the two, but both were great in their own right.
Yeah both games were absolutely outstanding.
It was terrible story wise, but a great co-op game. I only hear bad things about 3 though.
That's a bit sad tbh, because 3, despite being bad at "being Lost Planet", is still not a bad game. Good even! I myself value it higher than 2 (but I dislike 2 to quite a noticeable degree).
Lost Planet 3 gives me a heavy Dead Space 3 vibe. On its own it's not a terrible game... but it's not a good continuation of the previous entries in the series
I remember everybody complaining "Lost Planet became Dead Space and Dead Space became Lost Planet" lol
Maybe, with big difference here Dead Space 3 being just worse than previous 2 (which both were great and very consistent), while LP3 is not exactly worse, but very different instead, and is following fairly mediocre LP2.
Just like FEAR 3. Awful in fear series but Okay for coop
I remember being so hyped to get another LP game after being a huge fan of both 1 and 2. And then I don't think I even got halfway done with 3. It just felt generic and soulless.
Even with 2's story being a meme, it felt like the team tried. That train scene will always live rent free in my head.
I think it was mostly because of the whiplash people got from 1 to 2, then to 3
1 was new and fresh, 2 focused a bit more on co-op, and 3 was a hybrid but didn't really fill the itch people had after 2
I loved pretending to be a space trucker in a big ol’ mech. The game had its moments if you weren’t expecting a specific experience.
Me and my friend loved LP2. Honestly that train fight reminds me of 4U Dah'ren Mohran fight.
One of the best games of all time involves suplexing a haunted train that is taking one of your party member's family to the afterlife.
You literally don't fight a train.
You fight a giant sandworm, while riding on a train. LP2 is all about giant alien creatures, very similar to Helldivers 2, for that matter.
That whole sequence slaps, especially playing solo. Needing to manually load the train gun and firing what feels like a small bus into the side of that worm is just awesome.
The best part was, the train had a quick time event when you're boarding.
Players who fucked up comically hit the side of the train and bounce off or outright overshoot the thing.
It's Ginyu Force! And I loved that Super Sentai (Power Rangers for Yanks) pose when we combine our powers against the massive bugs! Loved it
I remember doing those poses as Wesker cause of some capcom cross over skin options that I had access too. Was so funny to me at the time
The Waysider's train arc is the best part of that game tbh. No game has so seamlessly blended its gameplay with operating a large vehicle so seamlessly.
You did not have to say this... I don't have time, but this makes me really want to play it
LP2 was a phenomenal game, very OTT but in the best way, I played it a lot with my brother and we have great memories together
Lmao I love lost planet especially 2 I remember that and nuke mech in multiplayer and the homing disc the most.
This is an incredibly potent advertisement
I would be surprised if Lost Planet 2 hasn’t held up over the years. I really enjoyed it but back then I had so many games I only got the first two levels in before setting it down for what ended up being forever. I might try to pick it up again if I can find it.

I've played it maybe as recently as 3-4 years ago but originally finished it on release. Still holds up but it's vastly different from 1, think the intention in 2 was to replay levels and unlock new weapons and then replay again with obvious emphasis on coop. The cannon level is an obvious example.
As a series all three games were so different, 3 was probably a step closer to 1 but the style felt less like a Capcom game because it so obviously wasn't developed by them which probably explains every game being so different.

I used to play the demo for Lost Planet 2 all the time on the 360. I thought it was one of the best demos I’ve played, then I rented the game and I don’t remember much from it. The demo on the other hand…
I don't know how LP2 was solo, but three of us played the entire thing co-op in a single sitting. Fantastic game to play with buddies
HAVOK physics right?
Right?? That snow tech was mind-blowing for its time! I remember just running around making footprints for way too long 😂 Lost Planet 2
I really miss this game. A remaster would be sick.
Agreed. The co-op in LP2 was genuinely ahead of its time - four player campaign with those massive boss fights? Would love to see Capcom give it another go but I won't hold my breath
only if its the same devs that did the dead space remake
Why would an EA owned studio, remake a Capcom game?
look you act like lost planet even getting a remake is realistic, just let me dream
shhhhhhh don't give them any more ideas
The only things I remember about these games is how much fun I had grinding the lost planet 2 demo on Xbox live. Idk why but it was the only thing I played for a week and never got the full game lol
I feel like playing demo's was pretty much the standard for me when I was a kid. I remember playing the Warcraft, Jazz Jack Rabbit and Hocus Pocus demo's for months. Sometimes not even realising as a kid that I was playing a demo at all.
The Salamander fight was incredible, it was cool how it could eat you and your teammates fight it from the outside while you fight it's stomach and it shits you out lol
I had the same experience, that demo was so fun! It was like Monster Hunter but sci-fi
I also played the demo tons of times.
I tried the full game and was extremely disappointed. The first game had a story with characters. And the characters had faces. In Lost Planet 2, everyone wears masks. It's perplexing and honestly feels like they ran out of a budget to add lipsyncing, so they just put masks on everyone instead. I bailed since the gameplay felt pointless without a decent story to guide it.
I'm sure it can be fun as a co-op game though.
I played Lost Planet 2 and pretty much enjoyed it. The train battle with the worms is burned in my memory because I had to replay it so much. I didn't get it new - got it at Blockbuster in a used bin.
I will forever miss battle engine aquila. Played it on PC.
I received this game as a child and absolutely loved plaything through the campaign over and over, sometimes split screen. One of the underrated gems from the 360 era for sure
I still remember being blown away by the visuals playing this on a xbox 360 demo kiosk. The motion blur looked so good!
I remember playing a bit of it on an old crt television before I had a HDTV. Kind of crazy to think this was one of the first games I booted on my Steam Deck and ran better than native.
This is the experience I had. It really looked like a next gen game. It didn’t make me want a 360 but it made me curious. I was content with ps2 until the ps3 was out.
Played it on a Zenith plasma screen! It was “flat” screen but I swear that thing weighed 125lbs, it was a pain moving it around.
The physics were pretty wild too. I remember throwing a grenade and it blowing one of the scorpion things right through a window. I stood there for a moment processing, "Holy shit that is possible!?" Threw so many grenades after that just to watch the bodies fly around.
I had a demo disc and I just played it over and over. Never even got the actual game
The multiplayer in this was so much fun. Met a lot of cool ppl I added to my friends list and played other games with.
Lost planet 2 was some of the most fun I've had with friends. I loved doing the campaign so much
Lost Planet could do well as a TV series
I'm so sad they "westernized" the series with with the third entry, never brought over the cartoony entry, and functionally abandoned the series.
The first two were so bloody fantastic.
I remember seeing the game cover in the Black Friday sales ads, but never heard anything about it. Looking at it now I want to go back and play it!
Mech suits and giant bugs to destroy, it's great
Still wish we got a third.
wish granted?
It exists, lol. It came out in 2013.
I think the joke is that the third entry is terrible and best forgotten.
Yeah. The same thing would probably happen if they ever made a DragonBall Z movie.
Lost Planet 2 was one of my absolute favorite co-op games. I got so obsessed with it, I actually played multiplayer, which I rarely do with games.
The only complaint I ever have with the game is the Stagger.
Loved the multiplayer in this
It was so fun
I would wake up early before school just to play it
I wonder where the weak points are?
I miss this game so mich
I own this game on steam and have never played it. Wonder if there are any mods or texture packs around for it. Either way I should get around to playing it one day.

Nice, gotta love the modding community!
This is one of my all time favorite games. The PvP was fun as hell too.
I loved 1 and had hoped the series would have continued with the gameplay from when you get the highly more advanced mech at the end, like a zone of the enders spiritual successor, but instead they made a (admittedly well done) monster hunter like co-op game, and whatever 3 was going for.
Wish we would have ever got the spinoff EX Troopers localized too.
I will never forget the train scene in Lost Planet 2. Absolute cinema.
just stay away from Lost Planet 3.
Man I really enjoyed lost planet 2. Still have it somewhere. The Co up campaign was a joy to play.
I enjoyed lost planet but it was my first truly Japanese game. I was so confused when it went from hoard survival to mech battles. I need to revisit it as an adult.
Can’t say I cared for the sequel, but the OG is one of my all time favorites. A fun campaign and one of the first online multiplayer games I ever really got into. Fond memories of using the grappling hook to get swinging around in circles off the edges of cliffs and broken bridges!
LP2 multiplayer was so fun back in the day. I miss it often
Seeing Lost planet mentioned in a sub that isn't the Lost planet sub? Oh, happy day! I absolutely loved 1 and 2. I wish they would come out with a new one that combines the good stuff from both or just really well done remakes. I want to play these games again so badly I would pay more than the normal market price of games for this series.
Mannn I miss playing lost planet with my mates on split screen
if any game diserves a remaster i think lost planet 2 does.
I am still enraptured by this game, the mechs all looked so cool, I thought the "loose cross hairs" for aiming was really smart, keeping the camera from swinging around with every small adjustment.
I remember picking up the second one and it just never felt right, it was trying to be a battlefield game imo. It lost all the story and heart the original had.
Great game, definitely not ahead of its time. Too bad they kept leaning into mp and ruined the series
I had the demo disc for this game back on 360. The rocket launcher explosion was way so satisfying.
Oh fuck I've been tryna remember the name of this gsmr for so long. I used to play the shit out of this on my 360 ! I had a poster of it even that haf the taglinr "kill big" on it
One of the best games I ever played. The marketing for this and Gears of War is what sold me on the 360 over the PS3.
1 and 2 were great wish they made a third one
Love Lost Planet, to me personally having a MMO or Looter Shooter based off this franchise would be a dream wishlist for me.
I personally like Lost Planet 2 of the three.
It was an amazing co-op game.
The Giant MF’Ing Boss Bug is on par with the Star Destroyer boss from Force Unleashed in giving me nightmares. Both great games!
I replayed it recently and the final boss fight was PAINFUL!
Had this on PC back in the day when it came out and was blown away by the graphics. I finally got around to playing it start to finish about 2 years ago. I was glad to be able to check it off the list as I'd always wanted to get back to it. Definitely worth a play - relatively short.
Man, I have fond memories of this game! I played the hell out of it back on the 360, mostly on the pvp side. Shout out to playing rocket launchers only on training facility lol.
This is what ArcRaiders is trying to mimic, then they added the human danger. Cause the real bugs are people
Is it that game where you constantly collect orange goo?
Dude. Get out of my head. I was shoveling snow and couldn't think of this series! Frustrating sure. The second was a lot better and the multiplayer was enjoyable
This game just seemed too advanced for it's time. I always thought the snow deformation was a decade ahead of it's time
LP2 should be another game that capcom should remake. loved the multiplayer as well.
Honestly this game was waaayyy better than I thought it would be. The mechs were awesome, especially the bigger ones, like the one that transformed into a spider I think near the end of the game?
Also it was one of the first games with a grappling hook you could aim anywhere. It was finicky at times, but I think it had to be otherwise it would be too OP. It was super fun once you got used to it. I wish the first one had coop.
I also wish the third game wasn't such a huge change in gameplay. It was a pretty immersive single player experience, however I don't think that's why people played lost planet. They wanted crazy mech fights against kaiju
Lost Planet 2 was great, shame it were tied in with Games for Windows Live so they're practically impossible to play on PC now...
Wish they'd do another one in a similar style to LP2, though Helldivers 2 isn't far off.
Lost Planet 2 co-op was legit, me and my friends played the hell out of that train mission.
I miss this series, it was just so freaking epic, LP2 was a masterpiece
Played the demo for this game 20 times probably.
Holy shit you took me back. I remember this game from when I was a kid. Fun, (and yes frustrating) times for sure!
I used to create new Xbox accounts every month to get free XLive to play this online.
Grappling around was the best part for me.
Thank you for this. Its -20 today outside, somehow I'm now even colder.
Such a GREAT series.
Never played the sequel but the first one was sick af. Good memories playing it when my friends werent online for halo etc.
This was one of those “so this is next gen” games that my friends and I all ran home from the school bus to play. Tons of fun, but definitely had that signature capcom jank to it
It was one of the original games that was consistently shown for Xbox 360 in year 1.
Man it looked good! The animations and graphics looked spectacular. It’s actually one of the biggest reasons I got an Xbox 360. I got the steelbook version.
Make a new one for NextGen and Deck!
This was my FIRST game bought for the Xbox 360.
This game and Arma 3 both strike me as games that would have done much better sales wise if the creators would have put some time into UI/UX. I had to call up and walk friends through how to get into the game.
Casual but challenging game about shooting robots in the frozen wastes. But the ENDING! Full on anime robot fighting!
Damn, thats a throwback. I remember I randomly scooped it up at Gamestop one day when I was a kid because "hey looks cool"
Blew my mind how fun it was
Then LP2 I had fun because of how ridiculous it was
Then LP3 decided to be "we have Dead Space at home" and the series just quietly disappeared
I never got to play the first one, but holy crap I loved the second.
Me and my gf played it multiple times over the years.
The gameplay felt great, I don't think I've played another game that you can shoot your grenades like that in.
Still one of my favorite games. Love the scale of the boss fights. Can be a little janky, but still a bunch of fun. Second one was pretty decent too. Shame the 3rd one wasn't that great. Desperately wish they'd bring this franchise back. A new Lost Planet game could definitely benefit from the drastic increase in fidelity from modern graphics.
First 2 and the cell shader one were awesome. It sucks how one bad game can tank a franchise.
I would love a remaster or the 2nd one with multiplayer.
Ya; the robot fight at the end was sic.
I thought it was an awesome game when I played it at the time. Except that final boss took me forever to beat
Lost planet 2 was awesome. Up until recently it still worked on steam (was a pain to deal with games for Windows Live) but you can't get it anymore.
The co-op felt so good and like everyone involved mattered, conquering the map felt good as a squad, the jokes you could do with the poses, the customization with the character skins.
I don't think there are many other games that did the whole human vs Kaiju thing as well.
Also sprinkles in a bunch of for the times Capcom stuff like mechs and crazy stories.
I was reminiscing about this only the other day, those early days of the 360 and PS3 were the last golden years of gaming for me.
I loved Lost Planet back in the day, played it on less than 30 FPS because my first PC was very bad for gaming. Later I bought a new PC and was able to properly play it at 60 FPS, and I recently replayed it on my Steam Deck.
I loved the multiplayer so much
Found this for $2 at Goodwill. Excited to pop it in my Xbox One at some point.
I swear these games had something to them, graphics or whatever, they had the sauce
This is one game that changed game play for so many games to come.
Holy shit, I'd played that as a kid and couldn't figure out the name, but that UI instantly felt familiar. Thanks for the help.
The same
The first game really did feel next generation was very cool never beat it but I enjoyed the demo alot haha
I need a new game
Also my first game of that generation. It was the only game I could afford after spending all my cash on a PS3 (it was ported late and released at a lower price). Never understood why frisbee-grenades didn’t take off.
I avoided the whole franchise out of habit as I thought it absurd there was a game made to be so stressful that it could be enjoyed by anyone! It's funny to remember that now.
1 and 2 were phenomenal. Never played 3 since they departed from the formula that made the series what it is IMO. No coincidence it died there.
This game is the reason I love snow maps and snow themes so much in stories and media. Big mechs and big bugs....so good!
LOST PLANET is one of those games that badly needs a remake and then make new ones. 1 and 2 were amazing. If they re dropped this it would be popular.
One of my favorite games that I only discovered cause my mom wanted me to buy a game I can play with my younger brother. Now many years later I’m a Monster Hunter and Soulslike addict
I hope this series gets a remake.
Capcom can give resident evil a break
Some of the best times. Loved how like everybody knew everybody. Only game I ever joined a clan in. Im actually still in contact with a lot of the old crew(XBM) lol. We still reminisce of the old days to this day.
You just kickstarted memories I forgot I had. Cue the food reviewer guy being transported to his childhood.
I wonder if this game was where dead space got inspiration for the necromorphs? Look very similar, even with the weakness colors
I always found it funny the mechs they made to harvest this awesome fuel produced on the planet that made it worth it to be on this terrible planet in the first place, burned through said fuel faster than they could harvest.
I know it was for gameplay reasons, but it was very silly.
Snow Pirates! First game was dope second game didn’t even have a campaign i feel like? I could be wrong
someone remind me, what did this game do that made up go nuts back then?
Cryngine? DirectX 10?
I remember there was something about it that was considered a big deal.
Can't just be the snow, can it? Were we swayed by virtual snow?
Lost planet was one of my favourite multiplayer experience in my lan group
This game was my first experience with the next gen of consoles at this time. Going from PS2 to seeing this for the first time was jaw dropping.
The multiplayer for this game was truly a class of its own as well. I have never seen a multiplayer like it since too as a matter of fact
An absolutely amazing series that was buried by unimaginative reviewers
This game instilled in me a deep hatred for “mob spawners” for the rest of my life lol.
i only played Lost Planet 2, but i loved it so much. all the weird monsters, mechs and factions. hulking a huge mech weapon as a soldier and just blasting stuff. favourite faction were the desert pirates with the box heads.
Lost Planet as a series is like the perfect snap shot of that era of gaming, and not exactly in a good way.
First game: Fun and unique feeling single player shooter with good mechanics, good enemy design, good gameplay variety, some fun bosses. Cool multiplayer too.
Second game: Every game is a multiplayer game now. Still fun times tho
EX Troopers: some awesome arcadey high skill shit but we know you guys aren't interested in that so it's never getting localized.
Third game: We need to appeal to a broader audience so let's just outsource the entire thing to a western developer so they can make a slower paced more cinematic and story driven game that strips away everything that gave the series its identity.
I don't even hate Lost Planet 3 on its own merits, but, it shouldn't have been Lost Planet 3.
I LOVED this game. Time to go back and give it a replay
It was a good game but average. Luckily I was in my early 20s playing this on my new Radeon card. It looked better than console version but the game had a lame story and okayish campaign. Crysis and COD MW came out prior to that and they were far better.
Why does it look like democracy, liberty simulator?
Hate to say it but it was one of only 2 games I returned in my 25 year gaming career this and that game that allowed you to fuck with the map as is raise and lower the ground level using magic? Guy with blue face in the cover? Lost planet annoyed me with the fact it was basically a time trial game due to freezing feature where you would just die for being outside, I get it of course but I was young and hated being rushed around in games
Top memory for me with this game is playing through 3/4 of it in one sitting, then turning off the Xbox without realizing it didn't autosave.
If they remastered the first 2 with 4k and the usual upgrades on PC, that would be so dope.
This was the first game I played that had a motion blur effect. Shit looked so realistic.
this game came with my 8800GTX, on my first Gaming PC
I can play this on Steam Deck now, my how times have changed.
I remember playing the demo over and over at Walmart, I thought this game was so ahead cuz u could see the snow shift when dude runs around
I loved the games... it would be nice to see a new one !!!
First game my parents ever let me play, pretty good stuff.
I remember being blow away by the disturbed snow when you walked through it.
Probably unpopular opinion, but I did enjoy LP3. The mech in it creates really interesting "my home - my fortress" feeling, which is very rare in games.
I played more Lost Planet 3 than anyone had any reason to. Something about that multiplayer hit.
I was recently reminded of the 6th console generations penchant for having had ports or multi plat releases at the beginning of the life cycle. I owned LP1 on my 360 and loved it. I bought it for the ps3 a few years ago and the opening level where you have to escape the giant worm was <10 fps the entire time. Game was basically unplayable on ps3
I remember this was the first title I played to test Direct X 10, which was only supported on vista at the time. I basically installed the whole OS just to test what DX10 was like, and it was basically just better fur effects. Still a great game, though.
I remember playing the demo for the 360 in Gamestop back in 2007 and remember being floored by HD graphics
Great times
Absolutely! This game rules, bringing me back to
I enjoyed this one but it was nothing like lp2 and that was a huge let down.
The Frontman had lots of part time jobs
Really cool but suffered of a too much filler xontent problem. Fighting the humans was just not fun. All the bug bosses were peak gaming.
I remember lost planet! Had a lot of fun with it
I want them to add Lost planet outfits to helldivers 2 it fits perfectly imo
The final robot boss of this game is so bad and infuriating
Yeah, Lost Planet definitely had its moments. The frozen environment was unique and added a lot to the survival aspect
This was the game that sold young me on the 360!
Lost planet 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was so ahead of the gaming curve it’s insane and it’s sad it’s almost impossible to play it on PC now.
Me and my husband are playing through this on my 360 right now! Loved this game as a kid! Always remember playing the demo at Target near our house years ago.
Lost Planet 2 is one of the best multiplayer games ever made, it's a real shame that it was the last game in the series.
I love how the art direction of this game is directly tied to the gameplay and story—
it's a cold, icy planet, so the environments are mostly blue
the bad guys have bright orange weakpoints
blue and orange are contrasting colors—as a player, the contrast helps you see where to shoot good
It was such a good game back on the 360
I've never played any of the Lost Planet games, but from the outside, the game seems really weird.
Like half of the pics/vids seem to be people fighting for survival on an ice planet and the other half seems to be giant robot fights.
Its basically a planet (EDN III) filled with large aggressive bug monsters (Akrid), you kill them and harvest their heat to stay alive. You battle them from inside of a mech (Vital Suits) that you can also get out of, and fight battle with some other mechs. The story is pretty goofy and over the top, and always has been, the first had a famous Korean actor playing the main character. Overall it feels like an action packed anime.
The third game released close to Dead Space 3 and they had similar settings so I think that hurt both games which sucks because now both series are literally on ice.
