Depending on which review you read the game looks pretty average. It's certainly not the AAA title it was once hyped up to be.

It's Syphon Filter with snow.

I tried the demo for Lost Planet but I got bored with it. Run around by yourself, shoot some bugs, run around in the snow some more. The snow theme seemed like a good concept, but it felt dull. Also, the aiming was so-so.

well, ZX sold like crap so you'll probably never hear again from it either...

In retrospect this might be so, but looking at Mega Man's history, I made the right choice at the time.

I don't know about you but I consider Megaman ZX better than Scurge.

JonLeung · « **Reply #81 on:** January 12, 2007, 04:01:38 AM »

As do I. I had high hopes for Scurge: Hive thinking it was like an isometric Metroid but I didn't get very far before giving up on it. I might try it again sometime later but I certainly enjoyed Mega Man ZX more than I thought I would.

Sure, some would, nothing wrong with that, but it would've sold better had a DS version come about.

Heck, a DS version of anything must sell better than anything on the PSP.

I never understood how the PSP gets games like Mega Man, Lemmings, and various game compilations that the DS doesn't, especially when the game would be better suited to the touch screen.

Lemmings is kind of an oddball in that the PSP's wide screen is good for viewing the level, but the DS' touch screen would be far superior for controlling the game. In the end, they should have made a DS version. I know it is not a Capcom game, but it still makes no sense to me.

1. They're not original titles, making them cheap to develop.
2. They're marketted toward a starving audience.
3. They don't have to compete with Nintendo's non-games.

You're probably right, but that's just the oddball way my brain works: I've played tons of Mega Man before, and I figured I'd have plenty more chances later, so Scurge was the more interesting option to me. I think N64 bred this persepective: it was a system with tons of original IPs and few popular sequels. I had to play Mischief Makers instead of Mega Man and Space Station: Silicon Valley instead of Street Fighter, and now I'd rather play a brand-new game than a sequel, even if the sequel is better.

Of course the amount of better-ness and price come into the equation too. If Future Tactics had been a full-priced GameCube game, I probably would have skipped over it. Since it was about half price, I picked it up. Sigma Star Saga turned out to be a mistake at full price, I should have waited for reviews, but you win some and lose some.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #85 on:** January 18, 2007, 09:10:07 AM »

Future tactics was a great game, I got it for five bucks and loved it. Maybe not worth full fifty but not many games are to me so I rarely get them new at full price.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #86 on:** January 19, 2007, 03:08:17 AM »

...and Capcom announces a sequel to ZX...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #87 on:** January 19, 2007, 03:37:34 AM »

I hope they learned how to properly do metroidy level design. ZX was basically a metroidy hub level with linear MMX levels duct taped to it. And I wish Capcom would just drop their boss refights policy, it makes the final levels unnecessarily annoying (especially when it's on the same level as the final boss).

Sony bought the developer so they own the rights. That's the reason it went to the PSP.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #89 on:** January 19, 2007, 06:23:51 AM »

What, Sony bought Rockstar?

JonLeung · « **Reply #90 on:** January 19, 2007, 06:34:38 AM »

Wasn't Lemmings developed by Psygnosis or something like that?

EDIT: My bad, Psygnosis was the original publisher.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #91 on:** January 19, 2007, 07:16:50 AM »

I dont know about that, they are a developer EA was thier main publsiher then Sony after they bought them out.

Jin-X · « **Reply #92 on:** January 19, 2007, 12:04:52 PM »

Capcom starting to come around perhaps.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #93 on:** January 22, 2007, 05:27:51 AM »

well I played the demo of Lost Planet and the game is pretty cool so far. So I do hope it gets ported to Wii so I can wait on getting a 360.

Everything is false until there's a big Dragon Quest 9-style press conference.

Agreed.

I fully expect it to be yet another sh*tty turn-based Megaman.

Both Dead Rising and Lost Planet are Xbox 360 exclusives so there is no chance of your wishful 'port' on the Wii especially considering Capcom will have to work backwards and dumb/knock down the graphics department to make it run smoothly and suitable for the Wii.

Are they truly exclusive or are they exclusive like the Gamecube games? Capcom has already set a precedent of doing just that. Porting from more powerful hardware down to lower hardware.
