Lost Planet multiplayer demo heads to XBL

Capcom flier in Gears of War copies indicates new trial version of upcoming sci-fi shooter will appear on the Marketplace.

Gamers who picked up Epic Games' long-awaited futuristic shooter Gears of War yesterday might have been too eager to try out the curbstomp move on their friends to notice an advertisement for Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition in the package. The flier encourages gamers to "Check Out Xbox Live Marketplace For New Multiplayer Demo!"

But even if Gears of War owners noticed the flier and dutifully obeyed its command, they would have found no such demo on the Marketplace. As for when it would arrive, a Capcom representative told GameSpot, "We will be announcing more details on the multiplayer demo shortly, so please stay tuned."

Capcom first showed off the game's multiplayer with a demo at Leipzig Games Convention in July. That version of the demo featured four-on-four battles in one multiplayer game mode on a single map.

Lost Planet is rated T for Teen and is expected to ship to North American retailers in January 2007. For more information on the game, check out GameSpot's latest hands-on impressions.

    The "Bringing it Home" trailer for Lost Planet from a month or so ago announced the multiplayer demo was coming in December. Gamespot probably even did a story on it back then :p

    My guess is that this won't be up until at least after Emergence Day (the 12th) when the game is set to release.

    i bought Gears on the 7th... but i didnt see ANY lost planet thing in there. Why though? Gears is Epic, Planet is Capcom... weird. is it in the Collector's Edition Gears or Normal Gears? i couldnt see it in the C.E Gears... i did see that on the new EGM tho, the one with the Halo 3 on the cover.

    Well, I would've had gears of war yesterday if fedex wasn't so dumb and didn't leave the box in memphis. Retards.

    this is looking like the game i have always wanted, a action 3rd person sci-fi shooter set on a frozen world, and the multiplayer is going to be funtastic

    The single player game was my first demo I ever downloaded since I got Xbox live in June and I loved how It reminded me of Starship Troopers

    I downloaded the single player demo for LPEC on XBL and I somewhat enjoyed it but there really wasn't anything phenom about it. Maybe the multi-player will help up its resale value. Right now it really isn't on the buy list. It really reminded me of Starship Troopers at the north pole sans senior Claus.
