  • Lost Planet 2 - Wesker DLC for everyone!

    Good news, everyone!

    The latest word on the street now has it that Albert Wesker, previously announced as pre-order exclusive content for Lost Planet 2, will now be available to EVERYONE who buys the game! (The game will also feature Split-Screen support now!)

    Additionally, pre-orders will now, instead of exclusively donning the Albert Wesker costume, feat. two extra multiplayer maps with heavy focus on water action. One of these maps is called Helix and the other is Back to the Island, the latter appears to be a remake of Lost Planet 1's DLC Map "Island 902".


    The bad news? Oh... yeah... those pre-order maps appears to be a "GameStop Only" deal... at least for now, anyway. But, hey, at least everyone gets Wesker! And if it's any comfort; the exclusive Collector's Edition bonus map for Lost Planet 1, Battlegrounds, was made available to everyone (for free, even!) some time after launch. Hopefully we'll see the same in Lost Planet 2 too...

    Oh yes. More Wesker the merrier.

      I'm curious to know what people thought of the LP2 demo. I tried it, but found that it was not very exciting/interesting. Granted, I never played the first game so there's not much "familiarity" to appeal to me, but the gameplay just felt boring.

      However it's cool that Wesker will be included for the masses. I think it's cool for RE's #1 baddie to get some more exposure (well, other than the nearly 6 million copies of RE5 out there).

        Yeah, it was me, you and valentinesdead? that co-oped the demo and we couldnt get passed that final boss. Not such a great demo.

          Seriously though, Island 902 was hot as shit in Lost Planet 1. Can't wait.

            It was. I'm actually hoping they bring back several LP1 themed maps (from original, DLC and Colonies).

            With the new underwater action, I guess that'll add another layer of awesome to Island 902 too. As, well, going underwater on it in LP1 was either just a "bail out" from the action, a way of moving undetected between the areas or a suicide option (depending on where you were).

            Though... GameStop pre-order... ugh... Store specific pre-order bonuses should NEVER be something "major" like that. I don't mind store exclusives, but if they're big shit like that...

              Let's not forget we had the same problem with the first game and the maps that only came with the Limited Edition version of the game.

                Map! Not maps! Battlegrounds was exclusive to the Collector's Edition, but it was pretty clear early on that it'd be available on the marketplace later (seem to recall it going online, for free, when the first map pack came out).

                Of course, I guess we might see Helix and Back to the Island later... but the fact that I can't really think of any store specific bonuses that have gone public later is kinda... alarming...


                Pre-orders for LP1 got a different demo than the regular demo.
                (Regular demo had Pirate Fortress, Pre-order demo had Pirate Fortress and Dilapidation. Good times!)

                  ...let me guess: I'm the only one here who has a copy in my 360...anybody also has it at hand right now?

                  But I'd guess that nobody here cares now because of some of the reviews...

                    I have it for PS3...honestly forgot I preordered it since Red Dead Redemption is coming out next week. From what I played so far...its not bad. And I don't read, nor do I care about reviews. And I wanted to play with Wesker, but I think you have to reach level 20? <.< Oh well...I'm at level 11 career wise...its not that difficult.

                      Know several people who's got the 360 version already. I'm still waiting for mine to pop up in my mailbox (along with Alan Wake, which was shipped my way yesterday)

                        For people still wondering about this, you get Wesker and Frank West from having Resident Evil 5 or Dead Rising save files on your HDD.
