The rumors have been swirling about for some time, and now we know they are true.  In the Sony keynote at E3 today, Jack Tretton mentioned that Lost Planet 2 is indeed headed to the PS3.  Previously, the game was only officially confirmed for Xbox 360.  This news is not really too surprising, as the first game was eventually available for both systems, too.

In related news, Gamepro has an extensive preview of Lost Planet 2.  In particular, the specifics of the 4 player co-op gameplay are covered.  Particularly interesting are the details about the new abilities of the suits, allowing for much thermal goo carnage as you and three squadmates take down a big bug.  Check out this trailer to see what we mean.  Oh, and to my future co-op partners, see the guy who gets smacked by the giant lizards tongue, and falls into a lake?  Be warned: that's pretty much my strategy, too.

Dear Lord, that co-op gameplay looks unbelievably AWESOME. Holy shit!

Holy SHIZ can't wait!!!

Now on my wish list...HOPE IT COMES SOON.

Glad PS3 peeps are getting it too. I am going to get it for my 360 instead of my PS3 though. I am still a little wanker for Xbox Live...it's addiction.

I hope to do some co-op with fellow posters here.

CURSES!!! We need more PS3 people here!!

Does anyone know if there is local co-op confirmed yet?

Yeah, 360 definitely outnumbers PS3 here...

I'll be popping it on Gamefly, and if I like it mayhaps I'll pick it up at the end of the year or something.

Marc, if you get this for Xbox, that last comment just obliged you to be my co-op partner, possibly exclusively.
