The PS3 Gets Its Own Lost Planet 2 Demo On 9/24

If PS3 owners were feeling left out in the cold when the 360 got an online co-op demo for Lost Planet 2, Capcom is trying to make amends. Brian Keller of Capcom PR visited the PlayStation Blog to outline the new demo of the game that will be hitting the PSN next Thursday:

Beginning September 24, PS3 owners will not only be able to engage in the frantic battle against the enormous G-Type Akrid, the boss Akrid of the episode 1, but will also get the exclusive experience of two additional missions in an online co-operative extermination of the Akrid of E.D.N. III.

Throughout the demo players will run into Akrid ranging from small (in Lost Planet terms) to enormous, as they fight to collect the precious thermal energy contained within the Akrids bodies in order to heal themselves, their friends, and power the armored Vital Suits. Utilizing a number of weapons from machine guns to missile pods and rocket launchers scattered throughout the environment, teams of four players can join up via the PlayStation Network and clear three mission objectives with friends, giving them a glimpse into the jungle of E.D.N III.

This is a new demo, not the same thing that was on the 360 a month or so back. They will also be releasing a new trailer for the game on the PSN on the same day featuring new environments that they haven't shown yet.

Although i am getting this for the 360, I will definitely be playing this because that first demo was simply awesome.

I didn't like the demo.. the things that got on my nerves about the first were still there. Mainly not being able to tell what the fuck was going on and how.. off the movement and aiming felt.

Well that's rather discouraging. I stopped playing the first game because the controls just pissed me off too much after a while. Well, that and getting knocked down all the freakin' time. Eh, I'll give it a shot next week.
