Lost Planet Extreme Condition preview for PS3

Despite getting the cold shoulder from a few journalists upon its initial release, Lost Planet wasn't given quite as frosty a reception by the public, as the 360 edition went on to sell over a million copies. With numerous dollar signs rolling round in their eyes, Capcom executives announced at a recent Gamers' Day event that Lost Planet will be making its way to PS3, after seeing release on 360 and PC.

What's the story?
Lost Planet, as you may have guessed by the screens surrounding this page, is set on an icy planet in an alternative universe. The plot revolves around a war between humans, and an alien race called the Akrid, which are giant scorpion-like monsters, who are immensely satisfying to melt with a chaingun. Good job for you then, that there are plenty of chainguns lying around - none moreso than in your VS, or Vital Suit, a giant mechanised robot thingy that you can drive around the planet.
