It looks great, maybe a buy if you haven't played the original.

Why does Capcom have to taunt us Dead Rising fans by featuring Frank so heavily in Lost Planet these days? The PC and PS3 versions of LP had him in it, and now Colonies.

Give us Dead Rising 2, Capcom. The fans want it, and Inafune wants it. Make it happen.

Since I haven't been following this and to clear things up. What exactly am I missing out on if I played Lost Planet but don't play this game?

Ahh Frank...how's Dead Rising 2 coming along? /wink wink

@ka2lu: Nothing. This is the original + more, if I recall correctly.

No "Kotaku After Dark" tag, Plunkett? ;-p

Man, they added one thing I like to Lost Planet. Stupidity.

Hrm, gallery seems to be showing ALL our LP Colonies screens, not just the most recent ones. So some of these are old. Sorry. Should hopefully be fixed soon.

Looks a lot like.. Lost Planet

He's covered wars, you know.

Oh please tell me that the Adam West screenie is a hint at Dead Rising 2. Oh god, let it be.

@Spiderbait: Adam West? The Mayor from Family Guy and former star of the Batman TV show from the 60's? ;) I think you meant Frank West...heh.

Owning people with Frank West + Boxers is the true reason to buy the game.

I do hope that LP colonies has game modes where its friends vs AI enemies that would be awesome.

I clicked this for Frank goodness. I've heard bad things about LP though.

@SkutSkut: It's not terrible. It's just not amazing.

Lost Planet IS amazing. It's the most cinematic game I've ever played.

Im really looking forward to this update of the original. I really liked the Desert planet bits of the trailer, very Duneish, very opposite of the icy cold hell from the original.

It's making me question my original purchase... I'll have to see later on, blech.

@Witzbold:

At first I wondered why Capcom would ever place a character from one of their major titles into another title, wearing only underpants, but I think you nailed it on the head. It's all about the ownage. "You got pwned by a dude who isn't even wearing any pant, burrn!"

@UltraMagnus: Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't have to. It's for that reason that he'll be right at home in the snow with LP.

Let's hope for an unlockable Mega Man Buster (Blaster?)

I played like 3 levels of the original LP, and I liked it, not a lot, but I was having fun. I need to go back and finish the campaign, because I have the feeling that if I go online, there's probably going to be one person playing the game. That's.. me.

Imagine if he was jumping around in just his underwear with the Euphoria engine... Nightmares.

@Archaotic: I cried last night. I gave up the chance to buy dead rising for myself to a customer.

I'm a terrible gamer.

That picture of Frank without pants just sold me on this game. DAY ONE.

@Spike: I'm with you buddy, sooooooo there!

Frank West is a part of the holy trinity. Ash (Evil Dead), Indiana (Jones) and Frank West. Gods all.

ive read up a little more about colonies and found out that theres a players vs arkrid mode.

Its gonna be Monster Hunter in SPACE! YES SPACE ! and coincidentally my childhood ambition is to become a starship trooper so this is like a dream come true for me( partially )

@ManjiKengo:

there there you did a good thing. iam sure most of us here are proud of your selflessness

Frank is hot... I used to love making him run around in his pants after being kidnapped by the yellow coats ;)
