Lost Planet: Colonies goes gold

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted May 14, 2008 6:22 pm PT

Capcom finishes development on budget-priced redux of Akrid-hunting sci-fi shooter for Xbox 360, PC.

Frank West did not dress for success in sub-zero temps.

Well over a year after its initial release on the Xbox 360, the frozen wastelands of Lost Planet's multiplayer battlefields may be looking a little barren. However, the killing fields may get a little livelier later this month, because Capcom announced today that Lost Planet: Colonies has gone gold for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Colonies adds a number of new features to both the single-player and multiplayer aspects of the game. Solo gamers will be able to play new Score Attack and Boss Battle modes, as well as an Off Limit Mode that gives players overpowered weapons and grappling hooks. On the multiplayer side, Colonies will introduce four maps, 10 weapons, seven game modes, and five new characters (including Dead Rising protagonist Frank West) to the mix.

Lost Planet: Colonies will retail for $29.99 and is scheduled to ship to retailers on May 27.

    I really want to play Lost Planet, I've been holding off on buying it for a while, seems like a good choice now that I can get extra content and not pay that much extra.

    Dead rising 2 would be cool, but this is still pretty awesome. Ill definately buy this, especially since its only $30.

    lost planet ruled, i used to love the multi-player -which had a huge following online. hope they speed the character movements up, and recovery- as when you go shot at alot and blown up you couldn't do anything about it!

    I'd rather see DR2, personally.

    Figures that they'll make sequels to whatever crappy Megaman spin-offs they make, but release a sequel to a good game that gains a decently sized fanbase? Logic, Capcom. You're doin' it wrong.

    So all this time I was waiting for maybe a sequel to either Dead Rising or Lost Planet, Capcom has only worked on a re-release of just one of them... sonofabiatch!!

    Wait, so you get the original game as well?

    Not a bad deal if so.

    Frank West is cool shi..stuff. Hopefully his apparence is a hint for More Dead Rising. As far as Lost Planet goes if you haven't played it, you should.

    Never played the original, so I might give this a shot. But it seems like everyone isn't to happy about this., at least everyone who bought the game.

    $30 for what is essentially a map pack?
    No, I don't think so.
