Lost Planet webisodes 1 & 2 now on XBLM [update 1]


The Lost Planet viral marketing continues with the introduction of webisode 2. This webisode features a little more character interaction, but the meat of the trailer is clips of the actual gameplay, including the mech that transforms into a snowmobile. We really must commend Capcom on its marketing skillz, because they seem to be working. Starting way back in May with the demo, every little snippet gets us more interested in the game -- let's not forget the Turkey Day multiplayer demo either. Check out webisode 2 after the break.


As an added bonus, both webisodes are now also available on Xbox Live Marketplace. Hopefully Capcom will make this a trend and give us this content the same day the internet gets it. Who's looking forward to some Lost Planet multiplayer -- and all six of its different grenade types?

Update: It looks like this content is only available for Gold members. According to Major Nelson, this content will be available for Silver members on 11/20. So, um, mark your calendars?

1. great trailer...


it just made me decide I wont ever buy or touch the game. The game looks terrible. A clash of FPS with Gundams? uhh, NO THANKS :P

2. Wako, it's a lot more than just that. At least give the single-player demo a try. It's been available for many months now. If anything, the Vital Suits are just a really good addition into the game, not the game's main focus point.

3. VS are to Lost Planet what vehicles are to halo.

4. This is absolutely going to own.

Nevermind the haters, this will replace Halo 2 in my play schedule.

Can't wait for the multiplayer demo.

5. So, did anyone else notice neovenusconstruction.com and 111 in the two trailers? (at least they can be seen clearly on the XBLM versions)

6. Yeah I did, but its a construction company. I was like wtf when i saw it.

7. Actually I looking into the sight. I believe its a funny marketing strategy. I found it funny that theyre tied together with an aerospace company that has a press release announcing a partnership with neo venus construction which dates the 20th of november =), also look on the nova site and the other one. Researching terraforming and also commercial space flights. not only that their partnership states that they will be looking into a planet called E.D.N. This type of marketing for a game is pretty awkward

8. Yay for gaming acting that doesn't suck! It wasn't fabulous, but it didn't suck! :)
