With Lost Planet day coming up (aka the anniversary of the Lost Planet 1 Multiplayer Demo) on Turkey Day, it's time to start warming up those skills. Check out this speedrun of Lost Planet 1 on PC on the SpeedDemosArchive. It's on easy, but he certainly pulls a few tricks worth knowing for using in the online battles. 

Thanks Bastion!

Lost Planet 2 just got more awesome, with some special in game pre-order items. If you pre-order Lost Planet 2 at GameStop in North America you'll be able to unlock Resident Evil’s most famous character, Albert Wesker, as an exclusive playable skin when they play Lost Planet 2. Also, players who take advantage of the pre-order bonus will get their hands on some additional firepower via a revolver added to their arsenal of weapons. A nimble yet extremely powerful firearm, the revolver will help players hone their "one shot kill" skills.

You can get Wesker and the revolver by clicking over to GameStop and pre-ordering Lost Planet 2!

We've been pretty quiet as far as info goes on the online multiplayer battles modes of Lost Planet 2. You've been asking all about it in the forums, and you may have missed it, but we have released a little bit of info on the multiplayer battle component of the game. There's even some art and screens of one of our new stages. 

So what have you missed? Well, here's some points we've talked about already:

- Up to 16-player Multiplayer modes and online ranking system

- Deep level of character customization: Players will have hundreds of different ways to customize their look to truly help them define their character on the battlefield both on- and offline. Certain weapons can also be customized to suit individual player style.

- Rewards System: Players will receive rewards for assisting teammates and contributing to the team’s success.

- New VS features: Based on fan feedback, the team has implemented an unbelievable variety of Vital Suits and new ways to combat VS’s. The new VS system will have a powerful impact on the way the player takes to the war zone in Lost Planet 2.

That's all we have to talk about for now, but stay tuned. The multiplayer in LP2 has far more than this, and the Lost Planet team worked hard to try to get all the things you've been asking for in there. If you're not posting in the forums, you should. We read them everyday, and use your feedback and suggestions to help make our games better. Besides, posting in the forums also gets you points to win free stuff!

And just to rub it in, today we'll be playing some Lost Planet 2 multiplayer battles in the office against each other. =D
