Rumours are circulating of a Lost Planet 2 being in the works (much like that of a Dead Rising 2). Any official confirmation as of yet?
And, out of speculation...what would you like to see in a LP2? What changes from LP1?
Ive not completed Lost Planet so I cant say what id want story wise.
The best way to go is more akrids on screen at once, bigger bosses and bigger VS suits, it would be pretty cool taking on thosands of akrid at once and fighting large scale bosses, that and I think melee should be improved, id like to see a VS suit punching hell out of another.

Melee suit combat would be excellent.
I wouldnt mind if the environments had more to them (less linear, etc).
Story wise...i think id actually like some :P
I think the aim for shooting needs to be imrpoved a little bit, but not much.
Itd be nice to have some proper flying suits, rather than elongated jumping times, etc.
Perhaps a chance to take place in some larger battles to.
Id like to see Wayne be able to get up much quicker. The animations too slow, and then you get caught in an explosion before hes on his feet.

If characters are going to be introduced to the game, then build them up...actually give them character. This way, when they die (Basil and Yuri for instance), we actually care.
And i really dont like the idea that they made Wayne forget all over again...i really hate endings like that...

A proper story, proper characters, environments and opponents with (more) personality, better music. To be honest Capcoms stories generally are bad and particularly shallow, especially recently (Onimusha: DoD, DMC 3, 4, RE4...) so I dont think this will improve with LP 2.

Id rather have it more stylish, personal and unique. Some skills would be nice and combat should slightly resemble DMC, NG and - whoever played it - Shinobi. Character movement should be a lot faster and more agile, there should be special moves and combos - and less huge areas. I got extremely tired of fighting the same army of opponents (modify the heat regenerations system and/or layout and structure of the maps) with the same means before long.
Oh and, drop Wayne: lost memory (a couple of times), lost dad, no mother or personality.
I agree with that, it would be interesting to see more acrobatic uses for the grappling hook, I dont see how better melee combat would work for a character outside a mech but I see your point, it would be better if it was faster pace.

Oh god no. Theres too many of these actions games coming out. Lost Planets arcade in a new environment gameplay it had going on is one of its major positives.
Im interested in them fleshing out the story, refining the VS mechanics (but I am not wanting something like Zone of the Enders, a bit too out of place, I think).
As for the likelihood? I am not too sure. Capcom obviously sees potential in the franchise as they are doing film adaptation with a somewhat competent writer at the helm, but I think Lost Planet 2s future depends on how well the movie performs.

Yeah. There are so, so many shooters with combat that - in principle - resembles that of DMC, NG and Shinobi out there. If by arcade you mean painfully slow movement, series of stuns and endless repitition and by new environments generic environments then you at least got that right.

The movement isnt even that slow. I think a lot of your complaints boil down to personal taste. By arcade, I mean gameplay without objectives - a main emphasis on Scoring and getting through levels in a timely manner. By new environment, I mean a full, three dimensional one, rather than the typical arcade game look (IE. 2D). The environments in Lost Planet were not bad - there was enough variety to make it enjoyable. The maps further expanded any complaints about variation in environment too.
I suppose its speed adds to the tension of both getting out of harms way as well as adding eagerness to evade the harsh conditions, a faster pace would make for slightly improved gameplay, but then it would lack the tension.

More genius levels like Frozen Wasteland. New soundtracks, weapons, skins, levels, mechs and more players online at the same time. Like leats 32. And a new background music for the lobby. It gets to you when you heard that same background music forsome 3 years.
wow lost planet 2 ,now that would be somthing[the colonies stunt was/is rubish] how about wings/mini jetpack for a birds eye view and getting around some of those bigger maps,and a double grappling hook would be kool ,,maps like fortress/lost coast/battleground/frozen w still look super in 1080p. keep the wepons the same as lp 1 with custom building and add on s ??. more taunts,more blood, more meelee. oh and lets hope they bring it out soon:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :?: :)
