I approve of the lady pirates but I'm still not that stoked for Lost Planet 2. It amuses me a little that the trailer actually refered to them as 'lady pirates' but maybe that's just because the phrase starts to sound more ridiculous the more I repeat it over and over in my head.

@Venatio:  Planet has become a tropical environment since LP1 and the evil corporation has started collecting thermal energy on the planet as part of an evil master plan. You take control of different pirate groups across the various areas of the planet as they try to take back control of their world, and eventually unify as one against the evil corporation. Seems awesome so far, already preordered, MONSTER HUNTER IN SPAAAACE.

" @Sweep: My thoughts exactly.  Seems like the only purpose for this trailer is to secure the "OOH LOOK IZ BEWBZ!" demographic. It's a tragically large one, also. "
Hell yeah. It sure got me more interested. It's just so much more fun to kill people with a chick. See: Uncharted 2.

obviously, bikinis are the perfect attire for slaying giant alien beasts with oversized guns and ridiculous explosions.

I'd just like to iterate that you will be able to mix and match any body parts from any of the 4 categories (Head, Torso, Backpack, Legs).   The trailer is not representative of this feature. 
 
So you could technically make a character with a female head and a snow pirate outfit.  You could also have a male head with booty shorts on not to mention the tranny options.

Capcom did really good with Monster Hunter and pretty unrevealing clothes.

I found it kinda retarded, and in a way insulting that the first Lost Planet had such a stupidly needless attempt at sex appeal with that one female character on your team.  If it's a freezing planet, then why the fuck have you exposed your cleavage?  Oh right, because you're a videogame and will make whatever stupid steps necessary to try and attract your demographic of lonely shut-ins.  
 
This just seems even more stupid.  Like... what?  There is NO reason to try and sexualize these characters.  It's actually just retarded.
 
I am more than fine with stuff like  Bayonetta.  At the very least, that game knew what it was, it was a rock-solid game, and it just used its sexuality and COMPLETELY overthetop nature as just the aesthetic.  There was much crazier stuff going on in that game, that this stripper witch actually kinda fit in with everything.  But this just feels cheap, and totally needless.  Thank god Anya isn't in some retardedly skimpy outfit for Gears 3.  That would just be sad.   
 
Oh aaaand this game looks pretty stupid.  I hated the first one and felt it had a horrible feel to it.  I'll spend my money elsewhere.

You know the funny thing with being able to play a female in videogames is that a) guys like the tits/asses b) girls feel more connected, win win, aka no brainer

Cheestastic!  Capcom just can't help themselves.....argghhhh.  They just don't know how to get westerners to take them seriously(although they are obviously trying).... or truly tap into the sensibilities of what we want in our shooting games.  Or maybe it's just me......:p

I'm just trying to figure out if this warranted it's own trailer. Oh well, I know of a few friends who'll be happy to hear.

The multiplayer demo didn't impress me at all. The guns are boring, the controls are jank, and it takes a whole clip to kill someone. It just didn't feel satisfying or fun.

We'll let woman shoot things in our game too! 
But only if they are super hot and wearing next to nothing.

How does this surprise people?  Everyone on this site has played videogames before, right?  We all know this is strictly for sales purposes.  The majority of this market is towards guys...this isn't the first time they've done this..and guess what?  It won't be the last.  Like it or not, this will sell more copies and that's exactly what they want. 
 
Think about it: If the majority of gamers were girls, they'd have guys in thongs or some shit, it doesn't matter.  They will do whatever they need to, to sell and make as much money as possible. 
 
Besides, if you don't like it..DON'T PICK THE GIRL CHARACTER.  It won't kill the LP2 experience.  Stop freaking out people.

I'm just putting this one out there--if there are women playing this game in particular, can we have some sort of self-respect and put them in full body-armor? Just totally putting it out there--I'm sure if we sent some woman to Iraq with nothing but a shirt, a mini-skirt and an automatic rifle they'd win the war... (sarcasm).
 
Fuck the demographics, fuck the sales, long-live dignity--but you know, just totally putting it out there.

You forgot under-boob. Very important when it comes to field armor.
