Lost Planet demo due on Live News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

26 April, 2006

Capcom's planning to whack a demo of Lost Planet on Xbox Live during E3 week, the publisher's confirmed this morning.

The game's not actually due out until the winter, but apparently that's not going to stop Capcom letting you play it in advance - a recent trailer suggested a demo will be made available on May 9th, and now Capcom Eurosoft's been in touch to confirm it.

There's no word on what the demo will contain, but it's possible it'll be similar - if not the same - as the E3 demo we had a chance to check out recently.

That featured a snowbound bug-hunt introducing the game's gigantic enemies, Halo-style weapons system and giant mechs, as well as the core "Thermal Energy" idea that underpins the health system.

The other E3 demo level was a bit more brutal, tasking you with mounting a one-man assault on an entrenched hillside base swarming with icy pirate-men, mechs and plenty more.

When we hear more about the demo, we'll let you know.

There is a 720p trailer on XBLive Marketplace too. Not sure if its the same one.

If it is, there will be a closing scene of a grenade detonating in mid-air and about 60 flying beasties falling to the ground. Eye candy of the highest degree :)

yes I know..but its more a question of if the trailer is going to be accurate. Not everyone has the dual accounts and if it says may 9th i'd expect it to be available in europe on the 9th via the proper marketplace.
