E308 | Capcom Bringing Lost Planet to Wii?

Well I know there's going to be a lost planet movie sometime next year.

It would be a good game on the Wii, but i'd think some sort of spin-off would be more likely.

sound to me like she say he tell him next week why he makeing DR and not LP

I think his response was purposely ambiguous just to get us all in a spin!

It would be alright if they include the new MP modes and include VChat.

I have already had my fill of Lost Planet long ago on PC.

"when a bit more will be clear" basically means that they're going to explain how exactly they're going to fit DR on Wii. Probably announcing majoy gimpness, but lets stay optimistic.

Well, Lost Planet did start as a PS2 project, so it's not entirely impossible for it to come to Wii...

If they can manage a respectable version of Dead Rising for Wii, then I don't see why others can't follow.

LS, was Lost Planet any good? I never got round to playing it.

I liked the look of Lost Planet. On Wii it could be awesome. These kind of ports I don\'t mind, mainly because they\'re ports of good/current-gen games. Nothin\' wrong with that.

Yeah it\'s a good game, if a little shallow ultimately, it does not really do much that\'s new, but what it does do it does well enough. It\'s certainly no Metroid Prime. Capcom made it so that it appealed to both their home market as well as the US, you could say that meant sacrifices in areas.

The heat mechanic is new and is mainly what makes this game stand apart from other other games. You need to stay warm basically by way of all available means. Harvesting a warm goo from the aliens is one means, another way is small heat generators found dotted around the landscape that give you a brief spurt that will start to ebb away as soon the warmth meter has replenished. You cannot survive long without both. There is also the extensive use of Mechs in the game which was kind of new to a game of this kind. The game also features some very cool bosses which are huge and fun to fight against. The MP is fun with some great gameplay to be had. The Mechs are fun to use in that also.

By gold you mean sell well. Sadly it's not a case of investment = gold with Capcom on Wii

Who cares, Lost Planet was a pretty awful game. Dead Rising is much more interesting.

We/I at least don't want any more feckin ports, I want a proper game from Capcom that is made especially for the Wii thats not too much to ask, or just give us Veiwtiful Joe 3 and then I won't bitch!

Well... Lost Planet was Samus' Ice-World with some more enemies and warm energy instead of power-up-globes.
So we have Lost Planet since Metroid Prime. But it's a graphic blender, nothing wrong with that...
What's more important is: You can make money with games almost entirely based on graphics and you can control big crowds, both on Wii. They almost reveal, that the frontier for Wii power is much more far away then they want us to believe...

And like Wiill said: It's almost nothing wrong with quality ports. At least until they only do ports and no no new games. But since exclusives are rare these days anyway, nothing wrong with Wii-versions of Nextgen games. Better then shovelware crap anyway to get money.
But nothings beats new software for Wii, of course!

I don't think Z&W did anywhere near as bad as people keep making out. It sold something like 25,000 in Japan, 45,000-50,000 in its first two months in the US and managed to break the UK Top 20 when released. It could have done up to 150,000 worldwide, minimum, which for a point-and-click adventure/puzzle style game surely can't be too disappointing for Capcom.

There has already been talk of a sequel coming anyway, from that leaked release list that showed Phoenix Wright 3 coming (after it was said to have been cancelled for Europe). And remember, Capcom told C3 a DS version sounded appealing as well...so who knows, especially with Konami taking its risky Wii project (Elebits) to DS to improve sales.

come on people for the love of gaming please make lost planet for wii and make it good please!!! IM BEGGINGG YOU...
