Xbox Live Finds Lost Planet Demo
Done with the singleplayer demo? Capcom is bringing you a taste of the multiplayer stuff later this month.
With the success of Dead Rising behind it and talk running about that Microsoft is looking to snap up the publisher, Capcom is getting ready to jump straight into its next big Xbox 360 game, and it's giving gamers another look at it.
More than half a million Xbox Live members jumped on to the singleplayer Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions demo that was released earlier this year. Now Capcom is preparing a taster of the other half, the game's multiplayer components, which will be put online on 23 November.
Though the demo only covers one area, the Pirate Fortress, it will allow up to 16 players to get an idea of what to expect from the finished product. Capcom is including one-on-many and team-based modes, and the demo will include the vehicles that have been drawing so much interest of late.
But what about the full game? When will you be able to lose yourself in the snowy story? Capcom is promising that the Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions will be ready come 12 January.
