Lost Planet coming to PlayStation 3

PS3 News | A new home is found.

According to semi-official Sony blog Three Speech, news has emerged from Capcom's Gamers Day event in London of a Lost Planet: Extreme Condition port for the PlayStation 3 console. An official press announcement is expected from Capcom as early as tomorrow. Previously the game has only been available on the Xbox 360 and PC.

The port may indeed be the most complete version of the game to date, with all of the extra downloadable content from the Xbox 360 version, in addition to all the bonus characters from the PC version. It is also reported the game will support 16 players online via the PSN.

For more information on the game, check out our Lost Planet: Extreme Condition review for the Xbox 360 here. The PS3 version of the game is expected to be released some time early 2008.

I'm just finding it really hard to get excited by this...if there's one thing that bothers me about games more than anything else, it's longevity. I don't like to finish a full-priced game in one or two settings, it's just not the kind of value I'm looking for

What exactly does all the additional content involve? Does it add a substantial amount to the 6 hour single player story?

The multiplayer will hook you, single player is amazing while it lasts.

I bet the PS3 one will have all the PC graphical improvement. Motion blur is great, shame it didnt come on 360 (or I dont remember).

I've never played the PC version but I do remember there being motion blur in the 360 version. When you move the camera in stuff and did the quick turn there was awesome amounts of blur and I'm guessing there was plenty more in there too (been a while since I've played).

Given the extremely high tech specs required for the PC version (and developer laziness) I wouldn't expect the game to look much better than the 360. Why bother when they'll make the same money either way? I know...what an awesome way to think

meh it's an ok action game, the only reason it sold so well was because it was released during the mid year gaming drought.

Here's hoping that Dead Rising also gets a conversion. I've been tempted to buy a 360 just to do some zombie bashing...

See that would have been a MUCH better announcement. They both sold the same (though LP did it faster) and it's just a much better game overall. Hell they could have just announced both - it's not as if PS3 players aren't used to getting older games.

Nah I dont think it had it, at least not as good as the PC version. Here is example of motion blur

The demo I played much better on a PC than a console, except you needed a good GPU to boot.

The Lost Planet PC demo was the first worldwide to support DirectX 10. The trail-blazing was almost unheralded. Now it's the PS3's turn.
