Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Another nugget of info from the official Lost Planet Blog is that the PC version of Lost Palnet will be getting a title update with a slew of upgrades. Included will be four free maps (Map Pack #1 and #2, also set to become free on the Xbox 360), new playable character skins Including Joe West of Dead Rising fame, Mega Man and Joe the Soldier) and new camera angles. Check out the full details and all images after the jump:
First up are 2 new “views” or camera angles. One is a wide-angle view that lets you see more of the action on the sides. The second, and the one I’m most excited about, is a Resident Evil 4-like view that puts the character to the left side of the screen, rather than right in the middle.
PC users will also be able to view a list of connected players in online matches through the “Back” button settings screen.
Next, a multiplayer map pack will be released to PC users, featuring Trial Point, Hive Complex, Radar Field and Island 902. The map pack comes in at around 400MB.
Xbox 360 users have been playing with these maps for months, although at a premium download price. On the 20th, this map pack will be available for the first time to PC users as a free download, and at the same time the map packs featuring these maps will become free to all Xbox 360 users. In addition to this, Xbox 360 users can expect a patch that addresses online connectivity issues sometime during July.
Another new feature for PC users is a movie mode that lets the player view the cutscenes back-to-back.
And last but definitely not least, PC users can enjoy new playable character models for online and single-player modes. Those character models are “Frank West” from Dead Rising (on the Xbox 360), in his snazzy blue and yellow Capcom-branded boxer shorts, the awesome “Joe” NEVEC soldier, and the blue bomber himself, “Mega Man.” Characters will have their own unique weapons and other characteristics to change up the gameplay a bit.
