Developers Capcom have confirmed that PS3 owners will have access to the Tokyo Game Show co-operative demo of Lost Planet 2 on the 24th of September.<\/p>\n
This will be an expansion of the demo which was released to the Xbox Live Marketplace on the 19th of August.
The primary mission will see players taking down a gigantic G-Type Akrid Salamander boss in co-operative multiplayer mode. Squads of up to four players will be permitted and a host of weapons and Vital Suits will be included in the demo.<\/p>\n
The squads will be able to bring down the beast either by “shearing off its legs” or “being swallowed and fighting their way out from the inside”.<\/p>\n
PS3 owners will also gain access to two more exclusive co-operative missions.<\/p>\n
Throughout the demo players will encounter Akrid of varying sizes while they collect the thermal energy contained in the alien bodies to heal themselves. A number of weapons including missile pods, rocket launchers and machine guns will be available and players will also be able to heal each other.<\/p>\n
As a sequel to the original Lost Planet, the game takes place on E.D.N II a decade after the events of the original. The snow has melted to give way to a more tropical climate in which the Akrid, a race of native insect creatures, are thriving.<\/p>\n
Lost Planet 2 is pinned for a December release date.<\/p>\n
