Lost Planet

[Geoff D]

How much of a step up is hard over normal? Is it just that your T-Eng runs out quicker? More enemies? Tougher enemies? All of the above?

[Dezm0nd]

Just a quick Question, how do you know where a checkpoint has been/will be?

[Goemon]

i was a bit disapointed that the combat in lost planet was so basic compared
to capcoms previous games or even gun valkirie

Wasn't Gunvalkirie done by Sega?

[eastyy]

yep sorry didnt mean it as a previous capcom game

just lost planet did remind me a bit of gunvalkirie

[Jebus]

I think the only way you know when you've reached a checkpoint is either when the game loads a section, or when you die and realise you reached it.

[Kubrick]

Extreme Mode bosses are going to make people cry.

If you even make it to them... The thermal energy ticks away fast as **** and there's none of those direction posts to grab a top-up from.

I watched an interview on Gamespot and the producers was saying they were trying to make something that was appealing to western audiences. Maybe one of the factors was more basic combat...

None at all? That's ****ing harsh!! ... But what I was asking for a few pages back.

I did find myself skipping most of them anyway, you get more energy out of those big storage tanks.

I dunno about the rest of the game but there's none in Mission 1.

Also,

->Open Spoiler<-

There's no VS to use against the Boss...plus it's joined by four more of those rolling achrids in that cave. It's mental!

That is INSANE.

Why would anyone want to put themselves through that?

[sofasurfer]

Quick question.

I have yet to unwrap my copy and wanted to know if the tearing through VGA that appeared in the demo is still there?

I dont want to have to swap all my cables around if possible.

[MonkeyWrench]

Right I just found out that the supposed bug on the mission 11 boss isn't a bug, it's a fricken' feature! Once again I got his energy down to zero and he still keeps coming, it was only when I swiped him with my sword did he die. They could have at least given us a clue.

[jimtendo]

Yup, most definitely is.
Running through on 1280x1024 and there is tearing pretty much everywhere.

Tried it through component 720p and the tearing is still there. However it's not as noticeable compared to VGA.

Shame for me since ive got my Wii through component, and my joytech component switcher box doesn't seem to like the Wii.

VGA at 1360x768 here and it's tearific!

Thanks for the answers..although its not what I really wanted to hear.

I have my Wii through the component and dont have a switch box yet so I may leave this game till I finish Zelda and then play about with the cables.
