You have to admit there has been literally zero 4 player co-op action games like this though. Its about time they started making them. This entire game is designed around co-op. It even has offline split screen campaign co-op which hasnt gotten much press. This game isnt designed for people with no friends such as yourself. Har.

Even when 4 player co-op Gears 3 comes out it wont be the same as LP2 because you cant even jump in Gears. Lost Planet is a whole different 3rd person shooter beast.

That's just influence from Gears of War. The sprint is on "B" in that game. There was no sprint in LP1.

The roll is a big factor in LP because it gives you a split second of invincibility. Thats a very japanese design choice - similar to something like SinnPunishment's roll move. The controls take alot of getting used to. You have to use literally every button on the controller and sometimes 2 buttons at once. The game doesnt teach you how to use everything either in the demo. In the mechs for instance - clicking in the left stick and hitting jump dashes - you can air dash too. Clicking left stick and hitting triggers punches. These mech aspects are all similar to VOOT in a way. People are going to wish it was more western in alot of areas but being so Japanese is what makes it unique.

So maybe the fact that the "hype" isn't there means that it's not that big of a deal.

Eh, I think I referring more to this forum's peoples and the hardcore gaming background thats around here. Espeically on the japanese gaming end. Capcom is the only jp dev really holding it down and going online with their shit this gen.

Its looking to be a pretty popular game if youre looking big picture. Its got a big fanbase and its very worldly - you always see lots of japanese and brit players. I will say on the 360 co-op demo (a demo thats been out since summer of 2009 and a demo that contains only ONE boss fight) - random people join the lobby ready to play within seconds even now in april 2010. LP1 still has plenty of matches up too.

I guess some people prefer to jump into the butthole like they do in real life.

Downloading the multiplayer demo now !

So who is picking this up for some LOL@FAN-SERVICE CHARACTERS co-op?

I'm going to pick this up over the weekend. The first review I read didn't leave it in a real positive light which is concerning.

This game is dog shit. Bionic Commando 3: Dark Void 2 is a better name for it.

Eh most reviews are like "it's fun if you play co-op!" which is all I really want to do.

Same here, but $60 for a co-op (2/3 weeks interest at most) game is not acceptable.
