I actually liked the first one alot, I can’t remeber any frame-rate issues or if the loading screens were very long, but it’s been a long time since I played the game.

Many games go for realism, which usually ends up with that you have to shoot the enemy in the head to kill him quickly. In Lost Planet however, you had to dodge the enemy attacks until they revealed their weak spots, which I quite frankly thought was very nice.

@Apnomis

The comment on the EU articles tend to come from 3rd party contributers like Vidzone, SingStar etc… and rarely if ever come from EU Blog people themselves.

3/5 front page articles at my time of writing were straight cut and past jobs from the US site. 60% is quite high I’d say.

Jeff (US Blog) always comments loads on his articles and gets involved with the community, not sure what Jem does – other than perhaps he’s looking to shoehorn in another Joystiq link somewhere?

Bon-Your mes amis, i must say that i didn’t like the first one , 1, Story : Serioslously did someone understand this Japan oriented confusing story , i don’t think so . But the action was really god and i’m looking forward to Lost Planet 2 and the co-op demo boss out

Lovely stuff. Pity no local co-op as that almost guarantees a purchase from me everytime. Graphics are looking stunning and also kudos to Bilbo’s reply. Americans don’t often realise that there are countries (and, yes, even people) outside of its own borders. You’ll find a very low percentage of smack-talk and c**k measuring over here. Usually, just constructive replies or at the most, a whinge or two.

@ Microshock…

You sir, are a plank. Look at the time it was posted? Also I think the comments from the European community, however less in size, are 100 times better and more constructive than the rubbish that is posted on the US Blog. Over here we tend to use our brains and not put people down for saying something.

Now to the Demo, it’s nice to see one is coming over to the PSN, I will definitely check this out. There are so many games coming this year I am not sure I can afford to buy another shooter, but maybe I can be persuaded.

hopefully this time they’ve actually programmed it with the ps3 in mind and taken advantage of the extra processors, rather than a port from the xbox/pc. when you can see what some of the ps3 exclusives can achieve, there’s no reason why it has to run with the appalling framerate issues that the first one did.

Great, good to see that we’re getting this cool stuff at the same time as the US.

Now if we only could get the same release date for Demon’s Souls in Europe as in the US I’d be very very happy. I’ve given up the Disgaea 3 trophy patch for EU, such a big shame.

Thanks Jem, I was pretty worried for a second there.

wasn’t that impressed with that poor port of the first game so am interested in how this one shapes up, co-op though? c’mon guys, c’mon! i hope developers get off that bandwagon real soon. fine, have it as additional maps etc for online but don’t kill the main storyline by making us have to deal with retarded AI *coff*RE5*coff*

that’s one of the things Army of TWO got right, at least you could tell the bot what to do, with limits, and if they got it wrong you could slap ‘em around the head. PLUS you could co-op with a mate on the same sofa! great times.

I’m one of the few that liked the first one, and I’m quite excited about it!
I still haven’t understood if LP2 will be multiplayer only.
Or better no one has ever stated it.

It’s always nice to see the EU store get’s a big demo release at the same time as the US store.

@ Microshock, maybe that is because it’s half past midnight in the UK, 1:30am in Western Europe, 2:30am in Eastern Europe, and 8:30am in Australia. The level of comments tends to drop in the middle of the night/early morning…

@ m1ghtym00se, I personally think the EU Blog are very good at commenting and in some cases far better than the US Blog (especially when it comes to the Store).

Maybe if you say something constructive you would be more likely to receive a reply – SCEE don’t tend to reply to whinging and moaning in the comments section directly (although they do read them as the FW3.0 Q&A and recent VidZone update prove).

Looking at the US Blog taking all articles since last Thursday’s PSN Store Update post there have been 92 replies to approx 2400 comments (and only 2 of this replies related to the Store update).

Compared to the EU Blog since Thursday that has posted 168 replies to approx 1600 comments (over 600 of which where about the Store update which on it’s own received 79 replies).

I also disagree that all they do is copy and paste – granted they share relevant articles now and again but during the day (when the US blog is sleeping) there post rate is just as good as the US blog usually.

It’s good to see the demo is coming to us the same day as the USA? Now was Capcom instrumental in this or did you guys have a say? Cuz we moan and moan at Capcom to give us the PS1 Classics with no dice. Yet they’re happy to persuade to buy their new game. Luckily for them Lost Planet 1 was a marvel, cuz if this was a sequel to a second rate game I’d be mightily narked right now.

cool, can’t wait!
Thank you guys!
Over the next week we’ll played the demo of PES 2010, Brutal Legend, Lost Planet 2 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2!
