Continuing our coverage of Capcom's Digital Day event is gameplay from the upcoming Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition. Colonies is the Platinum edition of the best-selling title Lost Planet: Extreme Condition adding new characters, multiplayer maps and modes. The most exciting of which is the ability to play as the Akrid, the enemy monsters from the single-player game, in various modes along with a ton of other announced features.
Gamers who have an old save file and are thinking of pinking this one up to continue your Lost Planet adventure should be wary. Capcom has stated that the game is not compatible with the previous release. Colonies has been built for cross-platform play with Games for Windows Live in mind so we assume the code had to have been changed, sure that doesn't make sense for single-player game but anyone interested in this version would be in it for the multiplayer if they've already played the original. But on the lighter side of the news, the game will feature 1000 fresh gamer points to be acquired. Check out Akrid gameplay after the jump.
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition is set to release on May 27 on the Xbox 360 and PC.

May have to revisit, the original was great except for that last boss battle.

Wow playing as akrid looks fun! I can't wait to get back into LP again... I wonder if we'll be able to play any of the akrid in the game, or just the smaller varieties?
@brownc4, are you kidding?! Man, after that last boss battle I started hoping for a sequel that was entirely like that...

"Gamers who have an old save file and are thinking of pinking this one up to continue your Lost Planet adventure should be weary."
Or should they be wary?

Looks awsome, just a pity that Capcom royally screwed over both PC and PS3 users with this release. :(

Why didn't they do a gameplay vid of someone actually playing as an Akrid?? Is the HUD and/or the view the same?
It does look fun though and I'm REALLY tempted to pick it up even though I've finished the original.
