Lost Planet was a game that helped define the early years of Microsoft's console. Capcom was an early supporter of Xbox 360 and alongside Dead Rising, Lost Planet was proof of their faith. Now, Lost Planet 2 is here and the reaction has been -- how to put this -- decisive. Adam Sessler, Abbie Heppe, Sterling McGarvey and myself headed into the Feedback studio to talk about our time with the game.

Feedback -- LittleBigPlanet 2, Nintendo 3DS, And Lost Planet 2 »


In this episode of Feedback...

  • Sony and Media Molecule have finally confirmed LittleBigPlanet 2 and we are super excited.
  • More details on the Nintendo 3DS are discussed...before the machine is actually revealed. We now know the 3D technology can be turned off by users and the current name, 3DS, isn't final.
  • Activision CEO Bobby Kotick issued a surprisingly long statement recently about the firing of former Infinity Ward leaders Vince Zampella and Jason West, two men he called "friends."
  • Electronic Arts announced a new "Online Pass" initiative for its upcoming sports games, which locks online multiplayer and other features behind a gateway that costs $10 for used gamers.
  • We break down Lost Planet 2 and wonder about Japan's approach to co-op gameplay.
  • Finally, President Obama's comments about playing video games and using iPhones and iPads has riled up the G4tv.com readers, so we address the concept of games, addiction and hobbies.

Feedback, where I try to avoid strangling Adam Sessler over his Lost jokes week after week.

    Why are we "The West", and they're Japan? Why can't we be North America, "the states", or the good ol' U.S.A.?

    Besides, they're closer if /we/ head West. So, shouldn't we be "The East" when talking about Japan?

    You know I like how a couple of episodes back Abbie Heppe was talking about how people need to quit complaining about how the map pack cost $15 and now even she is mentioning that she hopes they won't be that much lmao.

    Lost Planet 1 for me was What on earth! Confused and how to get through this lost interests quickly. Part 2 tries to cater to true multiplayer even with a single player story which is short. Which is a reason I only often play online versus multiplayer.

    Sadly, I've never truly gotten into LBP 1 PS3. My brother on the other hand, took to it with gusto. And made some vids for his YOUTUBE channel.

    Patrick Klepek got it right especially for XBox 360. Feel nickle & dimed if Activison starts charging subscriptions for Call of Duty plus Online Pass for used Games, Why have I been Paying a Middle man (Microsoft) for 4 years if they only connect me to another portal that just wants my Credit Card? Microsoft will eventually be forced to lower their fee the more Publishers look to create revenue from Online. If the rumors are correct that PSN will over free games & new features for PSN for a small subscription then PS3 will pull gamers away from once we will have to pay extra fees on a per game basis because Sony PSN will be cheaper & offer free content.

    Heroes today really aren't what they used to be. It seems like every single hero in video games and comics today are either messed up in the head or have had some kind of troubled past, turning them into the "bad-ass" hero or anti-hero, creating characters like Kratos or Sam Fisher. Don't get me wrong--I love these characters, but I also like characters like Superman. Do you ever think we will return to a time where we will see more Classical Romantic heroes instead of Dark Romantic ones?

    First of all patrick, I totally understand what you are talking about with some of the decisions capcom has been making...But in regards to Lost Planet 2 You have to realize that the first one was so epic when it came to the multiplayer that it only made sense to gear the next game to fit that mold. I for one think that the game is great...Yes it has it's problems, But so do a lot of games. The multiplayer is great and very addicting..There is nothing like taking down a big ass bug with 4 of your buddies, or running around in a suit of armor blowing stuff up...I have been a fan of xplay since the begining and I respect all of the crew's opinion. adam, morgan, patrick, abbie....(Not blair, god take him off the show)...But when it comes to LP2 I have to say I disagree with all of you for the first time...and I am begining to think that you guys are getting a little impartial with your reviews..and I just hope you can be more fair in the future..But other than that you guys to a great job so keep it up..

    Lost Planet 2 is horribly bad, unfortunately.

    This is kind of random but I have been playing Mechassault and looked at other Mech games and they all look stupid. What developer could make a game as fun as Mechassault but with the features and customization of the dorkier mech' games?

    Well I was thinking about buying Lost Planet 2, but there's so much talk going both ways about it being good or bad. I watched some videos on youtube and read up on it but I still haven't picked a side yet.

    So, is the 4 player co-op only an online feature or can you do split screen as well?

    I found it surprising how many individuals found fault in making a game from a purely multi-player perspective. Is it because the game is being released for a console and thats typically not a system known for multi-player only experiences? Is it because the game isn't a first person shooter, is there some kind of prejudice with releasing an action platform oriented game with multi-player in mind?

    I'm not a big fan of these 4 player only co-op games like monster hunter. i want more balance co-op like gears of war 2.

    Peace walker looks awesome but it seems like I don't want to be forced into mulit-player co op. I want my MGS games to stay single player games.

    I know this is OFF TOPIC but, after looking at the NEW gamerinformer issue
    I saw a Picture of ADAM and ABBIE.(who is super hot IMO) anyway
    it said " Too hot for TV" and a nice picture of them..but looking at the picture led me to belive that Adam and Abbie are a COUPLE!..So I ask you guys and Abbie..IS ADAM and ABBIE going out?..If so Adam you are a lucky man!!
