Lost Planet 2 co-op demo next week News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

14 August, 2009

Capcom will roll out the Lost Planet 2 multiplayer co-op demo next week on Xbox Live.

Gold subscribers get access 19th August, while the Silver hordes need wait until 26th August to play. There's no word on PC or PS3 demos, but we're checking with the publisher now.

The co-op demo offers up to four of you an intense battle against a massive insect boss. You can pull its legs off or be swallowed and fight out from the inside. There are laser guns to help you do this, or you can climb aboard a VS mech suit with up to two others.

Because of Lost Planet 2's co-op focus, Capcom has added various squad-support mechanics, such as weaponry that boosts�friendly attack and defence, and the ability to share life-giving T-ENG juice to hurt allies.

Lost Planet 2 will be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next year.

Too much news in 1 day almost made this gold bit of news become buried.

Look forward to it indeed.

Does the first game have co-op (on PC)?

Looking forward to this one! Some of the youtube co-op footage is breathtaking. Just hope they've tweeked the control system a bit.

LP1 turned out to be a nice looking, but ultimately boring game with some very backward design decisions, one of the worst told stories in gaming history and a vaguely entertaining multiplayer mode. Wasn't really interested in LP2, but the idea of 4 player co-op has made my ears prick up!
