It turns out Playstation 3 owners aren’t just getting a straight port – with the exclusive option to play as Luka, the leader of the Snow Pirates from the original game. They will also get Joe, Mega Man, and Dead Rising’s Frank West who all were playable in the PC version of the game.
With the game still some way off from its release on February 21, I would not be surprised if more content is announced soon.

Originally released for the Xbox 360 and PC, the frozen wasteland shooter will finally be making its way to the PS3. It has been speculated the move has come to quell anger over Capcom’s flip flopping of Monster Hunter 3 from PS3 exclusive to Wii exclusive. The PS3 version of the game will feature all past downloadable content already on the disc and 16 player multiplayer has been confirmed.

We’ve seen some shocking PC ports of console games in years past…and with Capcom’s recent Resident Evil 4 port being widely regarded as one of the sloppiest efforts at bridging the gap yet, you could be forgiven for steering clear of Lost Planet so far. On the other hand, our newly hired PC reviewer Justin has just spent some quality time with the game, and is glad to report that this time around, it’s not just a shadow of its former console-compatible self – indeed, it’s a little closer to the game it should have been the first time around, thanks to a honed control scheme. Read on for our full Lost Planet PC review.
Capcom have announced a massive update for PC owners of Lost Planet. Due on July 20th, the 400MB update adds Mega Man, Dead Rising protagonist Frank West, and Joe from Lost Planet as playable characters, four new maps, the over-the-shoulder view from Resident Evil 4 and a new “Wide” view. Xbox 360 owners aren’t entirely left out - the paid map packs will become free downloads on the same day.
