Lost Planet 2 Unveiled on Xbox Live

Capcom announced it would be unveiling a new game over Xbox LIVE on Monday. Well, today's Monday, and that game is Lost Planet 2.

This is not the first time we've recently heard of Lost Planet 2. We broke first the news last month that Dead Rising and Lost Planet developer Keiji Inafune had mentioned sequels for both titles.

The Dead Rising 2 was revealed earlier this month.

The game takes place ten years after the prequel and contains jungle environments as well as the snow-covered ones of the first game. Lost Planet 2 features co-operative play as well as a Gears of War style cover system.

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi is producing the Lost Planet sequel.

The game is not currently dated, but the 435.62MB Lost Planet 2 trailer is now available on Xbox LIVE.

LP2! Squee! ^_^

Co-operative play!?

Why does it need a cover system? It's an arcadey shooter. They better not focus on small caves and indoor areas with lots of cover instead of massive wide open snowy expanses of land like in the first one. I'd much rather explore a massive snowy wilderness with a friend inside a mech than play a corridor shooter style game.

Also, jungle environments? Does this mean that it isn't going to be set on the same planet with the same aliens anymore?
