Lost Planet 3 Is Avatar, Basically

At least, that's what this trailer seems to be implying. No weird blue people, thankfully.

I don't think the protagonist in Avatar had a family to go back to...

Also that Oblivion Tom Cruise movie, but yeah.

If it ends with you being reincarnated as a heat monster, though, I'd be totally ok with that.

Of all the franchises that Capcom has on their person, they gave a sequel to Lost Planet. Meanwhile Onimusha collects dust and remains dead in a corner.

It may have been Dances With Wolves in broad terms, but it was pretty much Fern Gulley exactly, down to the natives living in a giant tree.

That just about says it all, doesn't it. I'm a big fan of most of Cameron's work. I even thought Titanic was OK. But man, what a colossal dud was AVATAR.

@zzombie13: Cameron's work it's a bit overrated... compared to other of course. Still, most of his movies are watchable. 1 Time. That's all.

About the game, it's going to be more of the same.. Cool graphics, cool enemies, terrible story.. 1 more "hey, we know how to do a game! give us money money money. What? story? No, sorry."

Still, I think everyone should try the first one, and let's hope I'm wrong about this one.

What the crap! From everything else I've seen of the game I did not see this coming. Then again I always thought the humans were kind of dicks in the first Lost Planet where they just seemed to arrive and slaughter all the pre-existing wildlife (the akrid) in their effort to colonize the planet, so maybe it's actually super fitting.

This series is weird though. This game seems completely different from the other two games they made, not to mention completely different from that newly released spin-off E.X. Troopers.

Did that dude just call him 'sith'?

Avatar like, or Pocahontas like, or a bunch of other shit like, or not, this looks more interesting than the other Lost Planet games story-wise.

Onimusha is not a third person shooter that Americans want to play on their 360.
