Despite the title not arriving on PS3 & 360 until sometime early 2010, Xbox Live gold subscribers already got the chance to try out the demo for Capcom’s Lost Planet 2 last week. US Playstation Blog’s Chris Morell got the chance to chat to Capcom’s Chris Kramer at Gamescom about Lost Planet 2, to discuss how the PS3 version was doing.
In the interview below Kramer talks about some of the issues surrounding the original and late arriving PS3 version of Lost Planet, explaining that it was one of Capcom’s first titles on the system and since then they “have definitely got a lock on the system” highlighting titles like Street Fighter IV & Resident Evil 5 as proof that Capcom have got to grips with the platform. On the subject of Resi 5 Kramer states that is was essentially running on v1.50 of the MT Framework (Capcom’s own cross-platform engine) and that Lost Planet 2 is running on v2.0 which has seen the engine rebuilt, made stronger and bigger and can really utilise the strengths of PS3 (we’re assuming that the Xbox version works perfectly as standard)
In my opinion Capcom certainly look to have done a great job as this looks to have some of the best graphics ever seen, if you don’t believe me take a look:

The fluidity of movement and animation (on the boss creature) is sublime. Equally, I love the idea of two of you going inside said beastie whilst two of you remain outside and you all hammer the sh** out of it!

The co-op sounds like its of the quality never seen on the PS3 before

I agree, the graphics look fantastic, the amount of detail in the forest is outstanding.

Huge creatures and gorgeous surroundings – This looks to have raised the bar for cross platform games, and to be honest, even exclusive titles.

It looks ok but I think the crysis 2 footage is the bar raiser

Just watched a gameplay vid on you tube of Crysis 2, all i can say is WOW!
Can i ask, how do you choose which platform to purchase the game on when you own both ?

Yeah but this is a real game with an approximate release date, Crysis 2 is years away isn’t it

The first one was in my opinion terrible.
This one however, looks to be fantastic. Hope theyve changed the controls to a more usual TPS control scheme.

I wasn’t impressed with the first one, but i have to say that the second really does look brilliant. It also looks like it plays great too, so this is starting to look like it might be a must buy for me.

At least they’ve finally got an equal engine nailed down for future cross-platform releases
