Lost Planet Coming To The PC

Gamasutra reports that Capcom will release a PC port of their best selling Xbox 360 action game Lost Planet this June in the US and Europe. According to the story the PC version will feature 'Extreme High Definition' (XHD) support, with resolutions up to 2560x1600 pixels, as well as 'advanced special effects, and improved lighting and shadows.' Although DirectX 10 is only supported by Windows Vista, it is unclear whether a version of the game will be released which is compatible with earlier versions of the Windows operating system.


===================

Those shitty ports are made by ubisoft not by capcom. This is going to be done by capcom itself. So i dont think this will be "shitty".

This is going to be one by Capcom and Nvidia will aid in it , i hope its not crappy as the last ports , even if it was from Ubisoft, capcom must have had some involvement in quality control , and as capcom is not much into PC gaming so my hopes are not too high.

Capcom said that they are entering to PC markets. So i feel Lost Planet will do very well for PC. If you read the shack news. You will understand.

Nope, ubisoft did not do those ports it was ubi as only publisher
The ports were handed to Sourcenext by capcom.

Sourcenext also handled the ports for re4, dmc 3 and onimusha

So I hope Capcom does this inhouse , coz if it goes to source next U know what to expect

Seeing the screenshots looks like they are truly doin it inhouse, yaayyy there is mouse support at last

Wow the demo is damn small. I thought it would be around 1 gb.

Why is 7300 not supported?.

The minimum requirements seems to be fine for me. I will get that right away or i will wait for a while :D.

Looks like your system reqs does not meet. Maybe running the setting to lower will help.

I tried. I was getting 23 fps on high settings 1024*768 snow and 19fps in cave. So I reduced the settings to low with concurrent rendering on . I get 30 fps and Snow and cave 22 fps. Surprising even with low fps the game feels very responsive. With such pathetic FPS FEAR would have been unplayable (for me). The game can be good if they make it a proper PC game. It seems like consolde ported game. The aiming had something like grid-snapping in cad/cam tools. Helps in aiming with gamepads but feels odd with mouse. The controls seem very odd for a pc game and takes some getting used to. The snow physics is awesome and the shotgun is very good.
