Hunt Akrid In Your Skivvies!

lostplanetexcond.jpg

You know, I'm getting a little annoyed with the constant re-releasing of titles with additional content months down the line. Especially when it's for another platform (Mass Effect, I'm looking at you!). But if you missed out on Lost Planet the first time around, Capcom is releasing Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition (what a mouthful!) on May 27 for the Xbox 360 and PC. There's new content and new online modes, maps and models. And PC and 360 players can compete cross-platform online! And judging from that pic above, one of the new character models is zombie hunting Frank West... in his shorty shorts!

I've got a gallery of screenshots and a full list of the key features after the jump!

New modes for single player campaign
• Score Attack - Each enemy and destructible object has points assigned to them, with the player being awarded different points depending on how they defeat the enemy.
• Trial Battle Mode - Take on each of the game's Bosses, one after another
• Off Limit Mode - Go wild with over-the-top, super-charged weapons with unlimited ammunition and increased speed of movement
New online modes
• Akrid Hunter - Get the chance to finally play as an Akrid as your opponents attempt to take you down
• VS Annihilator - Each team attempts to destroy its opponent's VS while defending its own
• CounterGrab - The team with the longest data post activation time wins
• Point Snatcher - Take down opponents and collect the most thermal energy points
• Akrid Egg Battle - Steal Akrid eggs from the opponent's team and bring them safely back to your own base
• Egg Bandit - steal your opponents' Akrid egg, with points awarded for longer capture times
Four new multiplayer maps
• Crossfire City - the wide streets provide an excellent opportunity for VS battles, while buildings provide great cover for sharp-eyed snipers
• Area 921- Two industrial compounds located in a vast desert and linked by an underground pipe
• Lost Arena - The central arena is ideal for VS pilots to act as futuristic gladiators, while those on foot can use the surrounding grandstands as their battleground
• Assault Space - Set onboard a space ship and its supply vessel, zero gravity is sure to make for some interesting encounters
New playable characters
• Two female and two robot characters are added to the roster of choices for online personas to choose from, bringing the total to 11
• 5 new playable character models
New weapons (human)
• Hand Gun - weak in power, but very accurate and easy to use
• Revolver - The expert's one-shot kill weapon of choice at close quarters
• Flame Launcher - Uses thermal energy to lay down a wall of fire
• Hand Cannon - A handgun-like rocket launcher that is very effective against VS suits
New weapons (VS)
• Pile Bunker - A long spike fires out at immense speed
• VS Rifle - VS-dedicated rifle which has the longest range and loses no power regardless of the distance
• Rocket Pod - Shoot off a salvo of rockets to cause immense damage to a specific area
• Laser Lance - Attack with a sweeping arc of devastation
New Environments
• Snowstorms, arctic winds, towering mountains of ice are all stunningly realized, creating a truly immersive and cinematic event of epic proportions.
New perspectives
• Switch to first person view or the over-the-shoulder view from Resident Evil™ 4 for even more intense action
Cross Platform Play
• XBOX 360 and PC users can now compete on the same battlefield

NOTE: Lost Planet COLONIES EDITION and the original Lost Planet: Extreme Condition are not compatible. Single-player saves and online rankings cannot be carried over and multiplayer games will be separate.

Here's me hoping for a mod that allows one to play the entire Lost Planet as the extremely underdressed Frank West.

What they forgot to mention is how screwed over most of the fans are with this.
1) PC players must have a Live Account to play online.
2) No PS3 version even though they recently released the original for PS3, which wasnt an uptosnuff port. Thats a slap in the face for PS3 fans..
3) Unable to use previous saved info, including single player and multiplayer stats, from the original.

And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
