Lost Planet 2 Co-Op Demo Hits Xbox Live on August 19th

Mmmmm, sno-cones. NOM NOM NOM

Starting August 19th, which is the first day of GamesCom in Germany, Xbox Live Gold members will be able to snag the Lost Planet 2 demo on Xbox Live. The demo is the same one that's been on display at E3 and Comic-Con.

You and your squad of teammates will be facing off against a giant Salamander boss in the four player online co-op mode. There's multiple ways to kill this ugly mofo, though we highly suggest being swallowed whole and giving it a severe case of explosive indigestion. The demo also promises to show off some of the game's customization features, numerous weapons and even a co-op vehicle or two.

Lost Planet 2 features a four player co-op mode and is currently slated to ship early next year.

YAY! Now that's some co-op goodness. Who wants to meet-up that night!?

Sounds like a real blast will more than likely be checking this out.

Zonf86 at 04:03 AM on 8.14.2009

I'll be there! Most anticipated game of 2010 for me.

Armor Biff at 04:23 AM on 8.14.2009

Cool !! Should be great.

What about PSN release date?

smurphster at 05:12 AM on 8.14.2009

sweeeeet... can we fast forward 5 days? hopefully i'll have a chance to play it

bapenguin at 05:16 AM on 8.14.2009

I don't even think there's a PlayStation release date - let a lone a demo release date. My guess is next summer sometime.

TheReaperCooL at 05:21 AM on 8.14.2009

System Link available? Or when will they release this on PC?

SwissyJim at 05:27 AM on 8.14.2009

SWEET!

txshurricane at 06:13 AM on 8.14.2009

This seems really, really early for a demo...maybe their using the demo for marketing purposes? Either way, for Capcom to release this so early tells me that they are confident about the game...I'm pretty excited!

Zonf86 at 06:21 AM on 8.14.2009

Bound to be for marketing - they released the Resi 5 demo fairly early on before release didn't they? You're right though, it is VERY early.

Perhaps they are just trying to replicate the success of that.

I'm chuffed though - I've always been a big fan of LP. Especially the multiplayer... and now co-op .

Fanboys

smurphster at 10:16 AM on 8.14.2009

how do you come up with that assessment? anticipating a game with high potential makes us fanboys? you lost me

blakepro at 10:20 AM on 8.14.2009

Okay xboxers! Its your job to tell us ps3 people your impressions on this! okay?

Thanks!

Looks fun. Just wish there was a split screen option. Couch + online would be even better!

smurphster at 10:23 AM on 8.14.2009

ditto!

TheReaperCooL at 10:37 AM on 8.14.2009

A friend of mine said something interesting. The demo will be out for Gold players, then for Silver players, BUT! Why is it out for Silver players if they can't play it Online? There will be offline/System Link in the game/demo? It would be the best

smurphster at 10:42 AM on 8.14.2009

they'll probably be stuck with SP... or maybe they'll have a weekend they can play it online

Zonf86 at 05:32 AM on 8.19.2009

Demo is up

smurphster at 05:40 AM on 8.19.2009

in my queue

i might have time to play it tonight, we'll see

Sabre at 02:38 PM on 8.19.2009

DLing it as I type, along with the shadow complex demo. Invite me if you like.

blakepro at 03:29 PM on 8.19.2009

So.... SOOOOOO! How is it folks? Curious minds want to know!

Sabre at 06:45 PM on 8.19.2009

Not played yet, no coop partner. Im not playing this SP because the first was crap.

Zonf86 at 11:38 PM on 8.19.2009

Played it last night in both 2 player, 3 player and 4 player co-op!

I thought it was a fantastic demo, really good fun and just confirmed everything I wanted it to be.

The co-op mechs are cool! A very smooth and well suited co-op experience. I remember playing the first and wondering why on earth there was no co-op in it.

Hopefully this game will be a massive success next Easter.
