Capcom releasing Lost Planet on the PS3 shows they have lost faith in Sony

I truly feel bad for Cows.

First, Capcom starts delaying games on the PS3.

Then games start going multiplat (Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4).

Then games get outright canned on the PS3. Capcom decides to make Monster Hunter 3 exclusive to the Wii. While most people here don't really care about Monster Hunter 3, Japanese gamers sure do. This, along with similar actions from developers like Namco (Ace Combat 6, Beautiful Katamari) only widens the gap between the Wii and PS3, especially in an important region such as Japan.

So what does Capcom leave PS3 owners with? Lost Planet.

The game is going to sell worse than the PS3 version of Oblivion. Who is going to want to play a year old port of a game that wasn't good to begin with? Further, the game is also on the PC. I'm aware Capcom was probably thinking the multiplayer aspect of the game would draw in more PS3 owners but it's just not going to sell well. It's just a complete waste of time and money developing a game not many will buy.

This truly is a sad day for Cows.

On top of all this, the most important holiday season in the PS3's lifetime is a month away and I'm having strong doubts that Sony will even rank second place by the end of this year.

I agree it wont sell well, but LP was not a bad game, it is one of those games that when you first starts it feels weird (the whole draining T-energy thing) but then you get used to it and its really fun.albi321

If they lost faith they wouldn't bring this game or any game to the ps3. Why would they try and make games on a console that woudlnt' sell why don't they not develop on it all together? Because they stillbelieve they could sell games on ps3. numba1234

I loved lost planet,cant wait to get it for my ps3.

Instead of releasing IPs exclusively on the PS3, the PS3 is getting 1 year old ports. Is it really that hard to comprehend? Porting Lost Planet to the PS3 with all the code, story, the entire game already in place is much, much cheaper than building a game from scratch on the PS3. Understand? They're simply milking LP for some extra revenue on the PS3 and what better game to do it than a multiplayer game that has the possibility of some quick cash.

Just like GHII for your 360? ;)

Only a lemming could turn positive news into bad news.

YOU LOST AN EXCLUSIVE. YOU LOST AN EXCLUSIVE. YOU LOST AN EXCLUSIVE.

I thought that was a bad thing. Also, you seem to have no concept of horribly Capcom botches ports, most recently, Lost Planet on the PC, which is almost a non-existent game to me it's so poorly optimized. I mean, you've got to be kidding me if you seriously think this isn't gonna set Capcom back a few mil.

Also, this game is shipping with all the DLC and all the extra content on the Blu Ray disc.

Capcom doesn't have to make an exclusive game for Sony to show their faith in them, they very rarely make exclusive games for anyone. They made an few exclusive IPs on the 360, now one of them is going to the Playstation 3. Why are you cheering again?

I don't blame them. Most devs are losing money on PS3 games. Porting is a really cheap way to make a game. This is a way for Capcom to get some PS3 games out without going into the red.goblaa

You've got to be kidding me. Sony is giving out free tools+Playstation EDGE. It's getting easier every month. As the first parties discover new methods and opportunities, it's spread to the third party fringe and everyone benefits.

You don't seem to realize what Sony has been offering developers lately. Some of them just don't get it.

I guess Bully: Scholarship Edition and Guitar Hero II are brand new properties exclusive to Xbox? ;)

It's a sad day for cows when lemmings lose an exclusive? Way to spin that one around. Coming really late but prettymuch guarunteed to see all capcom games on PS3 in the future. Dead Rising2 and Lost Planet2 are sure to be multiplat...... only reason the originals were exclusive to begin with was 360 coming out early.Lazy_Boy88

Let me know how VF5 plays on the ol' 360....

:lol: @ TC

Way to down play good news for the PS3, seriously is there anything that PS3 bashers won't say or do when good news comes out for the PS3 ? Do you understand what you just did ? Thas like cows saying " OMG I feel so bad for lemmings cause they gonna get to play VF5 its truley a sad day for them :( " :lol:

Better than on PS3, and with some lurverly online.

Thanks for playing.

On the actual subject... It's not bad news that PS3 is getting a game or anything but... I think if I was a PS3 fan I'd want more from Capcom. I mean... A Dead Rising 2 announcement and saying it's multiplat would've been Capcom really investing in the PS3, not just throwing an old game on the system years later.

And it's not even the loss of an exclusive. LP has been on PC for ages.

Yet the lemmings still want ports likeVF5. Sounds kind of ironic...

Nothing wrong with ports, especially not if they add significant new stuff like VF5 is.

But for Capcom to say "PS3 fans, you're going to love us again!" and then the thing they do is to bring a year old multiplat to PS3... Just seems dissappointing.

WTF? what rock have you been living under? Console exclusives are basically the only exclusives here. Why do you think lemmings always gloat over Bioshock and Gears of War, or cows cry when they lose their 'exclusive' UT3 to the 360?
