Sequel time! Lost Planet: Colonies discovered

by Dustin Burg { Nov 7th 2007 at 2:00PM }

Thanks to the USK German video games ratings board (Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle or USK) we may have un-earthed proof that Capcom's Lost Planet franchise is not dead.

Xbox-Archiv stumbled across an entry for a game called Lost Planet Colonies over on the USK website that was reviewed ~~this past July~~ today. Instantly, thoughts of a Lost Planet bug splattering sequel raced in our heads when we heard the news and after visiting the USK site, we were pleasantly surprised. The Lost Planet Colonies entry lists the game to be a third person shooter (yes!) and solely on the Xbox 360 (double yes!) Adding more proof to the Lost Planet sequel fire is the fact that the game is published by CEG Interactive Entertainment, a German subsidiary of (you guessed it) Capcom. We've heard lots of whispers of a Lost Planet sequel this year, but nothing has surfaced to be this concrete. Here's to Lost Planet Colonies becoming a reality and being an amazing sequel.

*sigh* I wish this is really true, but it's close to the supposed release date (Feb. 22 08) and I've yet to hear more news. This better really happen.

"...we may have un-earthed proof that Capcom's Lost Planet franchise is not dead."

I wish it was! What a disappointment. Got to the point where I was playing it for the sake of getting the achievements for each mission, and to fight the, admittedly, cool boss battles. Everything in between - blah.

so many other more interesting games capcom could announce like, a new powerstone, or hell powerstone 1 or 2 for the arcade. How about any of the streetfighters vs marvel games for the arcade? Or Okami or godhand for the 360?
Capcom Vs snk 2? Heck I'd even get excited to hear CannonSpike was hitting the arcade, something capcom please. Basically I think capcom has alot more to gain from Digital gamming than they do from retail games.
