Lost Planet, Assault Heroes follow-ups rated

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Feb 5, 2008 10:44 am PT

ESRB issues verdict on Capcom's Colonies for PC and 360, direct sequel to Vivendi's Xbox Live Arcade shooter.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board continues to break news of unannounced games, as this week the board updated its ratings database with assessments for new installments of Capcom's PC and Xbox 360 action game Lost Planet and Vivendi Games' Xbox Live Arcade cooperative shooter Assault Heroes.

Lost Planet Colonies had previously been trademarked by Capcom and rated by the ESRB's German counterpart on the Xbox 360, but now it appears the game is headed for the PC as well. A PlayStation 3 edition of the original game is expected to launch in the US later this month, but the ESRB listing made no mention of a PS3 edition of Colonies. Lost Planet Colonies received a rating of T for Teen.

The ESRB also issued a T for Teen rating for Assault Heroes 2 from Vivendi Games. A sequel to the 2006 Xbox Live Arcade game wouldn't be terribly surprising; Vivendi was so impressed with the original game's Chilean developer Wanako Studios that it purchased the outfit in February of 2007. At the time Vivendi said the group was working on 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures for Live Arcade, as well as a number of unannounced projects for its Sierra Online imprint. Since then, Wanako has produced Arkadian Warriors for Live Arcade.

    Woa... they could've done better advertising the sequal to lost planet. This is the first time ive heard about it, awesome I loved the first one. I can't wait for that but ive never tried assault troopers so im not really looking forward to that. LOST PLANET COLONIES WOOT!

    I liked lost planet, but I loved Dead Rising. As soon as the second one comes out, it's mine.

    So.... the PS3 port of Lost Planet should be out soon? I figure you just do that, and have Lost Planet 2 release on all three platforms, same day, same stuff, in a year or two. Staggered release dates suck.

    I wouldn't expect Capcom to bring out a Lost Planet sequel too soon, since they have so many other high quality games coming out. Well DMC4 just came out, and that new game Dark Void is scheduled for a Q4 release this year. Plus, you have RE5, Street Fighter IV, and Bionic Commando all coming this year or next. AND, Dead Rising hit in August 2006, well before Lost Planet, which came out in January 2007. So Dead Rising 2 "should" hit before Lost Planet 2.

    Well, what ever happens I hope they stay true to the online experience because thats awesome.

    But I do have to admit, the campaign itself was for the most part, mediocre but had alot of potential. Espescially if they stay intune with its current storyline and build on it, just make it better, heaps better!

    I liked the first Lost Planet. Still need to finish that game. A sequel for it would be nice. I heard Arkadian Warriors was a decent game. I need to check that one out when I have a chance.

    They might want to fix the 1st Assault Heroes online mode it never dam works instead of bragging about a new sequel.

    So how long before release do they typically rate games?

    Why the big hype on a game that has nothing but good graphics? I mean the action in Lost Planet was so repetitive and boring!

    please dont flame people. the game is pretty good although review overhyped it. i dont care if ninja gaiden sigma is a remake of the xbox golden gem, cause it is such a great game. Some people don't mind playing a game that is old. many great games are always ported. The ps3 also has many great games. I agree that most are ports but the ps3 came out after so that is obvious. the original xbox had many ports of ps2 games also until later when the ps2 versions were mainly ports of xbox games.

    How much would you want to bet that Lost Planet becomes the current gen version of Mega Man. Money has it the game will launch with the same crappy game play the last one had. I played the first Lost Planet and enjoyed it, but if the next game doesn't have a new engine....I don't know how interested I am.

    I totally forgot that the Lost Planet PS3 wasn't even out yet.

    Wow, that's a long port.
