Lost Planet 2 could be the best game this generation so far imo. The first had the best online multiplayer i have ever experienced.

I wasn't a fan of the first online, but it was certainly different to anything else I've played, and well worth trying out at least. But this co-op, taking on t souhe same kind of massive creatures as the first,sounds amazing. I can't wait to try out this demo.

co-op demo is no use to me unless it's bot-able. Same stupid idea as that Bionic Commando demo... useless

why oh why do capcom have to mess up the single player in their games by adding co op they did it with res5 with its hopeless ai and now theres 3 places to fill in lp2.i do like multiplayer but think it should be a seperate entity to the main campaign and games like this and army of2 res5 l4d should be LABLED MULTIPLAYER ONLY like sony has done with socom warhawk etc then single players know where they stand and dont have to put up with shite AI

Well I'm a Silver LIVE user now so a co-op demo is of absolutely no use to me so I hope there's a single player demo too. I'm certainly interested in this game (for the PC) but not for the multiplayer.

This looks like a genuinely interesting game. I hope the full thing addresses or acknowledges the reasons for and morality of slaughtering the indigenous life on the planet.

Now you know, so dont buy it.

Personally i will play the game with 3 friends and never with AI controlled teammates so im all for it. Coop always make games more fun imo. I will never understand how some people dont like to play games with others wether its competitive mp or coop.

Split-screen coop, I hope? Otherwise it's a useless feature, I don't want to play on the same team as those raving, american 12-year olds on live.

I got all excited when I saw the headline, and then my hopes were dashed when I read "multiplayer demo" in the copy.

What is it Capcom with your exclusive multiplayer demos? I was hoping BC was a one-off.

I have completed Halo 3 on my own and with a couple of friends. The playthrough with my friends was one of the best gaming experiences ive ever had. Playing through it alone was pretty meh in comparison. This game will be alot better with friends on my side.

I like both, they're diferent experiences. Somedays I just want to do things my way, not really in the mood to socialize. Can't say I prefer playing alone or with friends. Different kicks for different moods.

I know you are :D
Anyway, different ppl, also. I'm not always ready to online play, or to "socialize" that doesn't mean I like it less, I'm just not ready for it "anytime, all the time", I need my space.

I rather liked LP1, and a bit of co-op is always welcome if it is well done.

A certain amount of the objection on this page seems to be based on citing examples of bad co-op. The co-op in ResE5 was badly done. That doesn't make co-op bad, it just means ResE5 did a crap job of it.

Halo did a great job of it, and the co-op experience of Halo far outweighed the sp mode imo. LP seems like the sort of game that would benefit, so as long as they don't bugger it up I'm suire it will be a great addition.

i am not against co op as such but i only have the option to play with strangers over LIVE(no real life freinds play xbox) and in my experience it is VERY hit and miss with quitters and people not working as a team.it doesnt effect team deathmatch on cod4 but games like res5 lp2 you need decent teammates.plus i really enjoyed the single player in lost planet and im dismayed at the death of single player in general.I must be getting old but the younger gamers just want multi player no matter howsuitable or half arsed it is.I want a fair choice and dont want to pay for multiplayer centric games touted as single player

I'm very excited. Lost Planet was one of the most enjoyable games in recent times, and having a co-op campaign just seems like the perfect improvement.
